Lumineon (Japanese: ネオラント Neolant) is a Water-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Finneon starting at level 31.

Biology

Physiology

Lumineon's main body has a rounder appearance than that of its pre-evolution, Finneon. Instead of having a pair of caudal fins resembling butterfly wings, Lumineon has pectoral fins that resemble butterfly wings, with a wavy patterning of dark blue on them. Lumineon has teardrop-shaped pelvic fins that can allow it to crawl along the sea floor. It has a caudal fin that resembles the tail of Wynaut, being similar in shape and black in coloration, with a spot on it, however the spot is purple instead of white.

Gender differences

The lower parts of Lumineon's butterfly wing-shaped fins are longer on a female.

Special abilities

Lumineon uses the patterns on its four tail fins to attract prey, and has the abilty to crawl under water using the two fins on its chest.

Behavior

It competes for food with Lanturn.

Habitat

Lumineon usually make their home in deep sea trenches or the ocean floor, though small schools of them are known to reside in freshwater rivers and lakes.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Lumineon are omnivorous, though a large portion of their diet consists of the prey they lure with their fin patterns. Occasionally they eat seaweed, and rarer still they can be found with a Rindo Berry.

Trivia

• Lumineon, along with its pre-evolution Finneon, are the only non-Bug-type Pokémon to learn the move Silver Wind by leveling up, and the only Water-type Pokémon to learn it at all.
  • Additionally, they are also the only non-Flying-type Pokémon learning U-turn by leveling up.

Origin

Lumineon is probably based on a butterfly fish and a freshwater butterflyfish, but it also possesses wings based on actual butterflies. In its Platinum Pokédex entry, it stated it walked on the seafloor using its fins, similar to a tripod fish.

Name origin

Its name comes from luminous and neon. Its Japanese name, Neolant, comes from neon tetra, a species of fish. or maybe from "neon" and "lantern".
