Lunatone (Japanese: ルナトーン Lunatone) is a dual-type Rock/Psychic Pokémon. It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Lunatone come with the ability Levitate, which gives the user immunity to Template:Type2 moves.

Biology

Physiology

Lunatone is a Pokémon that originally came from space. They originally came to earth within meteorites and have since adapted to life on earth quite nicely. Being an inorganic Pokémon, it isn't preyed upon, nor does it need to prey on others, as it derives all its energy from moonlight. It uses telekinesis to float in mid-air and is capable of reading the thoughts of other lifeforms like most psychic types. It is even capable of brainwashing, but only does this when it feels threatened and is usually a last resort.

Gender differences

Lunatone is genderless.

Special abilities

Lunatone's ability, Levitate, allows it to avoid Template:Type2 moves such as Earthquake or Magnitude.

Behavior

Lunatone's power and health seems to be tied directly to the phases of the moon. When there is a full moon, Lunatone is at the peak of its strength. Presumably when there is a new moon, Lunatone is defenseless.

Habitat

Lunatone seems to prefer caves.

In the anime
