Solgaleo is a large, white {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a lion. It has a blunt muzzle with a blue-gray nose and pale blue eyes. The top half of its face is a deep blue area that shows a constantly changing starscape. Four yellow spikes frame Solgaleo's head like a crown and two more pairs of spikes adorn either side of its lower jaw. Each spike separates large tufts of Solgaleo's mane. Solid ridges—red nearest Solgaleo's head and yellow farther away—poke out of each tuft along the middle, except on the tufts on its cheeks and chin, with the topmost part wrapping around the tip of the tuft.

Solgaleo (Japanese: ソルガレオ Solgaleo) is a dual-type Psychic/Steel Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.
It evolves from Cosmoem when leveled up in Pokémon Sun, Ultra Sun, Sword, or Scarlet starting at level 53. It is one of Cosmog's final forms, the other being Lunala.
Along with Lunala, it was initially shown, without a name or any data, in May 2016, but information on it was officially revealed on June 2, 2016.
Solgaleo is the game mascot of Pokémon Sun, appearing on its boxart. Solgaleo, Lunala, 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 Solgaleo using the N-Solarizer to become Dusk Mane Necrozma.
Biology
Solgaleo is a large, white Pokémon resembling a lion. It has a blunt muzzle with a blue-gray nose and pale blue eyes. The top half of its face is a deep blue area that shows a constantly changing starscape. Four yellow spikes frame Solgaleo's head like a crown and two more pairs of spikes adorn either side of its lower jaw. Each spike separates large tufts of Solgaleo's mane. Solid ridges—red nearest Solgaleo's head and yellow farther away—poke out of each tuft along the middle, except on the tufts on its cheeks and chin, with the topmost part wrapping around the tip of the tuft. Overall, its mane creates the impression of a stylized sun. Around each leg is a dark orange band, and there is a black spot on each foot. It has three black toes on each foot with long yellow claws. At the tip of its tail is a large black spot with a thin yellow rim.
When Solgaleo enters its Radiant Sun phase, its third eye appears on its forehead—a light blue symbol similar to a compass rose—and the starscape turns to streaks of light. The fur on its body glows a pale yellow and all other parts of its body except its nose turn bright yellow. 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]
Solgaleo has long been honored as an emissary of the sun;[2] in ancient times, it was known as "the beast that devours the sun". It is said to live in another world and returns there when its third eye activates. Its body is capable of holding a vast amount of energy and glows when active. The intense light it radiates can make nighttime look like midday. Solgaleo can create Ultra Wormholes to travel to and from Ultra Space. Along with its counterpart Lunala, it can create Cosmog, which it is said to be the male 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 Midday form with solar energy.[3] The residents of Ultra Megalopolis uses Solgaleo as their own Ride Pokémon to travel through Ultra Space.
Solgaleo, similar to Lunala, is a being composed of light; due to that, it is constantly hunted down by Necrozma through Ultra Space, so it can try and devour Solgaleo'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 Solgaleo's body, possessing it and transforming itself into Dusk Mane Necrozma, as its pieces constantly absorb Solgaleo's light. However, Solgaleo can coexist with Necrozma willingly, regardless of fusion. [4][5] Solgaleo loves Solgaleo Treats made by Snacksworth, who once encountered it in the past.
Solgaleo and Dusk Mane Necrozma are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Sunsteel Strike. They are also the only known Pokémon capable of using the Z-Move Searing Sunraze Smash. Additionally, Solgaleo is the only known Pokémon that can have Full Metal Body as an Ability.

- Solgaleo has the highest base HP stat of all Steel-type Pokémon.
- In games prior to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Solgaleo has a catch rate of 45.
- Solgaleo's Japanese name and its romanization were revealed in a tweet[dead link] of their trademark on March 22, 2016.
- Solgaleo's physical and special stats are the reverse of Lunala's.
- Solgaleo's verbal cry in Pokémon Sun, "La-liona", may be based on the words lā (Hawaiian for sun) and liona (Hawaiian for lion).
Origin
Solgaleo appears to be based on a lion with a sun motif, a fairly common motif in many Western and Middle Eastern cultures. In particular, it might reference the alchemical lion, being described as "devouring the sun", however typically a green lion and a metaphor for aqua regia, as well as connected to metals via its Steel type (matter). In astrology, the Sun is also the ruler of the sign Leo.
As the emissary rather than a personification of the sun, as well as being able to pass through different dimensions, it might lend some inspiration from the eye of Ra, a goddess usually described as a lion that is the sun's protector in Egyptian mythology as it travels through the underworld. Its regular and Shiny colors may be inspired by phases in stellar evolution: regular Solgaleo may represent the Sun as a white main-sequence star, while Shiny Solgaleo may represent the red giant that the Sun will eventually become as the hydrogen inside its core is exhausted.
Name origin
Solgaleo may be a combination of sol (Latin for sun) and leo (Latin for lion). It may also incorporate Galileo, an Italian astronomer who presented evidence that the Earth rotated around the Sun and advocated Copernican heliocentrism.
