Biology
Lunala is a large Pokémon resembling a skeletal bat. It has a short snout, dark pink eyes, and a deep blue area that resembles the night sky across its forehead. Crescent horns begin on the sides of its head and curve over the top. The back of its horns and down around its neck is pale yellow, while the front has white streaks against a dark blue background. Its torso resembles a ribcage with a slightly curved spike on each shoulder and three spikes along the bottom extending toward its tail. It has massive wings with three clawed fingers in the middle. Below its hands are three spiky white markings, and below those are additional oval white markings. The top edges of its wings are white. Pale yellow structures line the bottom edges of its wings. The structures toward the tips of the wings are connected, but towards its tail are smaller, free-hanging structures. An additional adornment hangs from its tail and extends toward the bottom of its ribs.
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.[1]
Lunala is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Moongeist Beam.
