Pokédex entries

Pokémon Gold/Pokémon LeafGreen

The light it emits is so bright that it can illuminate the sea's surface from a depth of over three miles.

Pokémon Silver/Pokémon FireRed

It blinds prey with an intense burst of light, then swallows the immobilized prey in a single gulp.

Pokémon Crystal

This Pokémon uses the bright part of its body, which changed from a dorsal fin, to lure prey.

Pokémon Sapphire

Lanturn is known to emit light. If you peer down into the dark sea from a ship at night, you can sometimes see this Pokémon's light rising from the depths where it swims. It gives the sea an appearance of a starlit night.

Pokémon Ruby

Lanturn is nicknamed "the deep-sea star" for its illuminated antenna. This Pokémon produces light by causing a chemical reaction between bacteria and its bodily fluids inside the antenna.

Pokémon Emerald

The light-emitting orbs on its back are very bright. They are formed from a part of its dorsal fin. This Pokémon illuminates the inky darkness of deep seas.

Lanturn's name is a misspelling of the word lantern.
