Biology
Solgaleo is a large, white Pokémon resembling a white lion. It has a blunt muzzle with a yellow mandible, a blue-gray nose, and pale blue eyes. Across its forehead is deep blue area that resembles the night sky. On the top and bottom of its head are four yellow spikes that separate its mane into large tufts. Each tuft, except the ones on its cheeks and chin, has yellow tips and orange streaks. 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.
Known as the "beast that devours the sun," Solgaleo has long been honored as an emissary of the sun. Its body is capable of holding a vast amount of energy and glows when active. [1]
