Along with {{p|Solgaleo}}, it was initially revealed in May 2016, but officially revealed on June 2, 2016.
Lunala is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon}}, appearing on its boxart. Lunala, Solgaleo, and {{p|Necrozma}} are often collectively referred to as the [[light trio]] by fans. It is associated with the [[guardian deities]]. It is related to the [[Ultra Beast]]s.


Lunala is a member of the [[cosmic duo]] with {{p|Solgaleo}}.
{{p|Necrozma}} fuses with Lunala using the [[N-Lunarizer]] to become {{fd|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}}.


Lunala is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon}}, appearing on the boxart.
==Biology==
Lunala is a large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a skeletal, legless bat. It has a short snout, dark pink eyes with white centers, and a deep blue area on its upper head that shows a constantly changing starscape. A rigid raised hood wraps around its head in a crescent shape and drapes around its neck as well. The outside of the hood is yellow, while the inner part that curves around Lunala's head is white with deep blue streaks. Its torso resembles a ribcage with a slightly curved spike on each shoulder and three spikes extending from the bottom toward its tail. Its massive wings resemble a bat's wings with the skeleton exposed, except that Lunala's wings have a total of seven "finger bones": four running through each wing, one running along the edge to the outermost tip, and two pointing upwards that may act as claws that are more functional. The four "bones" in Lunala's wings are only visible in segments. The skin of Lunala's wings is an iridescent deep blue and a light blue light source appears to glow from behind its ribcage. A large, pale yellow crescent connects the outermost tip of each wing to the next two inner tips, and the remaining two innermost tips are adorned by yellow, four-pointed stars. The bottom of Lunala's tail is also lined by a yellow crescent with a ridge running up the middle of the tail towards the rib cage.


==Biology==
While Lunala does not have any forms, it can enter {{form|Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma|Full Moon phase}}. When Lunala is in Full Moon phase, its {{wp|third eye}}—a light red symbol of an eye—appears on its forehead and the starscape turns to streaks of light. The skin of its wings glows a bright, light blue. It spreads its wings wide so that the yellow parts on each wing are arranged in a circle with the outermost points of the four-pointed stars disappearing in the transformation. It enters this phase during attacks or traveling in [[Ultra Space]]. The phase does not appear in the series as of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.<ref name=SVForm>[https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1736911069249994991 Lunala does not change into it's Full Moon phase as of Pokémon SV.]</ref>
Lunala is a large Pokémon resembling a skeletal, legless bat. It has a short snout, dark pink eyes with white centres, and a deep blue area on its upper head that shows a constantly changing starscape. A rigid, raised hood wraps around its head in a crescent shape and drapes around its neck as well. The outside of the hood is yellow, while the inner part that curves around Lunala's head is a pattern of deep blue and white streaks. Its torso resembles a ribcage with a slightly curved spike on each shoulder and three spikes extending from the bottom toward its tail. Its massive wings resemble a bat's wings with the skeleton exposed, except that Lunala's wings have a total of seven "finger bones": four running through each wing, one running along the edge to the outermost tip, and two pointing upwards that may act as claws that are more functional. The four "bones" through Lunala's wings are only visible in segments. The skin of Lunala's wings is an iridescent deep blue, and a light blue light source appears to glow from behind its ribcage.

The bottom of Lunala's tail is also lined by a yellow crescent, with a ridge running up the middle of the tail towards the ribcage.
 
In the ancient times, it was known as "'''The beast that calls the moon'''", Lunala has long been honored as an emissary of the moon. This Pokémon constantly absorbs light to convert it into energy and can obscure daylight with darkness. When it spreads its wings to absorb light and glitter, it resembles a beautiful night sky.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/lunala/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Lunala]</ref> Lunala's dark energies also serve to {{a|Shadow Shield|shield it from harm}}. It is said to live in another world, which it returns to when it opens its third eye. Lunala can create [[Ultra Wormhole]]s to travel to and from Ultra Space. Lunala and its counterpart, {{p|Solgaleo}}, can create {{p|Cosmog}}, which it is said to be the female evolution of. Solgaleo along with Lunala has the power to create [[Z-Crystal]]s and restore Necrozma's light, regaining its true form. It can also influence a {{p|Rockruff}}'s evolution into {{p|Lycanroc}}'s Midnight form with lunar energy.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/lycanroc-midnight-form/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Midnight Lycanroc]</ref> The residents of [[Ultra Megalopolis]] use Lunala as their own [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] to travel through Ultra Space.
 
Lunala is similar to Solgaleo, in that it is a being composed of light, due to that, it is constantly hunted down by {{p|Necrozma}} through the Ultra Space, so it can try and devour Lunala's light to ease its nonstopping pain and regain its original, Ultra form. When taken over by Necrozma, Necrozma's body divides into pieces that connect to Lunala's body, possessing it and transforming itself into Dawn Wings Necrozma, as its pieces constantly absorb Lunala's light. Lunala loves [[Lunala Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered it in the past.


When Lunala enters its Full Moon phase, its {{wp|third eye}}—a light red symbol of an eye—appears on its forehead and the starscape turns to streaks of light. The skin of its wings glows a bright, light blue. It spreads its wings wide so that the yellow parts on each wing are arranged in a circle with the outermost point of the four-pointed stars disappearing in the transformation.
Lunala and {{fd|Necrozma|Dawn Wings}} {{p|Necrozma}} are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Moongeist Beam}}. They are also the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}}. Additionally, Lunala is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Shadow Shield}} as an [[Ability]].


Known as the "beast that calls the moon," Lunala has long been honored as an emissary of the moon. This Pokémon constantly absorbs light to convert into energy. When it spreads its wings to absorb light and glitters, it resembles a beautiful night sky.<ref>http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/lunala/</ref> Lunala can create [[Ultra Wormhole]]s to travel to and from [[Ultra Space]]. Lunala and its counterpart, {{p|Solgaleo}}, can create {{p|Cosmog}}.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Lunala appears to be based on a {{wp|bat}} with a moon motif. In particular it might reference the two known Hawaiian bat species, the still living {{wp|Hawaiian hoary bat}} and the extinct {{wp|Synemporion}}, or the {{wp|ghost bat}}.

This may also be a basis for Lunala's auxiliary eye in Full Moon phase.

Its Ghost typing and association with the night may also connect it to {{wp|Hine-nui-te-pō}} of Maori legend; goddess of the night and the receiver of the dead, and in myths is said to be the reason why the sky turns red during twilight, similar to Lunala's {{Shiny}} coloration. Its Shiny coloration may also be based on the reddish color of the Moon during a total {{wp|lunar eclipse}}. Additionally, Lunala resembles a {{wp|sun dog}}.

Lunala may be a combination of ''luna'' (Latin for moon) and ''ala'' (Latin for wing).

Lunala (Japanese: ルナアーラ Lunala) is a dual-type Psychic/Ghost Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

It evolves from Cosmoem when leveled up in Pokémon Moon, Ultra Moon, Shield, or Violet starting at level 53. It is one of Cosmog's final forms, the other being Solgaleo.

Along with Solgaleo, it was initially shown, without a name or any data, in May 2016, but information on it was officially revealed on June 2, 2016.

Lunala is the game mascot of Pokémon Moon, appearing on its boxart. Lunala, Solgaleo, and Necrozma are often collectively referred to as the light trio by fans. It is associated with the guardian deities. It is related to the Ultra Beasts.

Necrozma fuses with Lunala using the N-Lunarizer to become Dawn Wings Necrozma.

Biology

Lunala is a large Pokémon resembling a skeletal, legless bat. It has a short snout, dark pink eyes with white centers, and a deep blue area on its upper head that shows a constantly changing starscape. A rigid raised hood wraps around its head in a crescent shape and drapes around its neck as well. The outside of the hood is yellow, while the inner part that curves around Lunala's head is white with deep blue streaks. Its torso resembles a ribcage with a slightly curved spike on each shoulder and three spikes extending from the bottom toward its tail. Its massive wings resemble a bat's wings with the skeleton exposed, except that Lunala's wings have a total of seven "finger bones": four running through each wing, one running along the edge to the outermost tip, and two pointing upwards that may act as claws that are more functional. The four "bones" in Lunala's wings are only visible in segments. The skin of Lunala's wings is an iridescent deep blue and a light blue light source appears to glow from behind its ribcage. A large, pale yellow crescent connects the outermost tip of each wing to the next two inner tips, and the remaining two innermost tips are adorned by yellow, four-pointed stars. The bottom of Lunala's tail is also lined by a yellow crescent with a ridge running up the middle of the tail towards the rib cage.

While Lunala does not have any forms, it can enter Full Moon phase. When Lunala is in Full Moon phase, its third eye—a light red symbol of an eye—appears on its forehead and the starscape turns to streaks of light. The skin of its wings glows a bright, light blue. It spreads its wings wide so that the yellow parts on each wing are arranged in a circle with the outermost points of the four-pointed stars disappearing in the transformation. It enters this phase during attacks or traveling in Ultra Space. The phase does not appear in the series as of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.[1]

In the ancient times, it was known as "The beast that calls the moon", Lunala has long been honored as an emissary of the moon. This Pokémon constantly absorbs light to convert it into energy and can obscure daylight with darkness. When it spreads its wings to absorb light and glitter, it resembles a beautiful night sky.[2] Lunala's dark energies also serve to shield it from harm. It is said to live in another world, which it returns to when it opens its third eye. Lunala can create Ultra Wormholes to travel to and from Ultra Space. Lunala and its counterpart, Solgaleo, can create Cosmog, which it is said to be the female evolution of. Solgaleo along with Lunala has the power to create Z-Crystals and restore Necrozma's light, regaining its true form. It can also influence a Rockruff's evolution into Lycanroc's Midnight form with lunar energy.[3] The residents of Ultra Megalopolis use Lunala as their own Ride Pokémon to travel through Ultra Space.

Lunala is similar to Solgaleo, in that it is a being composed of light, due to that, it is constantly hunted down by Necrozma through the Ultra Space, so it can try and devour Lunala's light to ease its nonstopping pain and regain its original, Ultra form. When taken over by Necrozma, Necrozma's body divides into pieces that connect to Lunala's body, possessing it and transforming itself into Dawn Wings Necrozma, as its pieces constantly absorb Lunala's light. Lunala loves Lunala Treats made by Snacksworth, who once encountered it in the past.

Lunala and Dawn Wings Necrozma are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Moongeist Beam. They are also the only known Pokémon capable of using the Z-Move Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom. Additionally, Lunala is the only known Pokémon that can have Shadow Shield as an Ability.

Evolution

Lunala evolves from Cosmoem and is one of the final forms of Cosmog, the other being Solgaleo.

Trivia

Origin

Lunala appears to be based on a bat with a Moon motif. In particular, it might reference the two known Hawaiian bat species, the still living Hawaiian hoary bat and the extinct Synemporion, or the ghost bat.

It could also be based on Itzpapalotl, a skeletal Aztec goddess and star demon, often depicted with bladed bat wings; Camazotz, a Mayan bat god that was associated with the night, death, and sacrifice; Leutogi, a Samoan protector bat goddess; and Pe'a-pe'a-makawalu, an eight-eyed bat that Hawaiian demigod Maui snatched eyes from. This may also be a basis for Lunala's auxiliary eye in Full Moon phase. Its Ghost typing and association with the night may also connect it to Hine-nui-te-pō of Maori legend; goddess of the night and the receiver of the dead, and in myths is said to be the reason why the sky turns red during twilight, similar to Lunala's Shiny coloration. Its Shiny coloration may also be based on the reddish color of the Moon during a total lunar eclipse. Additionally, Lunala resembles a sun dog.

Name origin

Lunala may be a combination of luna (Latin for moon), ala (Latin for wing), and possibly lunula (which means something crescent-shaped).
