Lunatone (Japanese: ルナトーン Lunatone) is a Rock/Psychic-type Pokémon.
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 Ground-type 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 all but defenseless.
Habitat
Lunatone seems to prefer caves.
Diet

In the anime
Lunatone first appeared in Crazy as a Lunatone. A pair of thieves calling themselves the PMC was after it due to wanting to get their hands on another outer-space Pokémon.
Liza and her Lunatone debuted in It's Still Rocket Roll to Me along Tate and his Solrock. Ash Ketchum's Gym battle against Tate and Liza and their Meteorite Pokémon was in the following episode.

Origin
Lunatone is based on a meteorite shaped like a crescent moon.
Name origin
Lunatone's name is a combination of the Latin luna, meaning moon, and tone, meaning shade or light, referring to not only this Pokémon's appearance but also its affinity for moonlight. It could also be a combination of luna and stone, simply referring to a moon-shaped rock.
Its German name, Lunastein, comes from luna and Stein.
Its French name, Seleroc, comes from Séléné, a Greek lunar deity, and roc.
