Lunatone(JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Rock/Psychic type Pokémon introduced in the third generation that does not evolve. Lunatone is often seen as a counterpart to Solrock, who represents the sun.
Physiology and Behavior[]
Lunatone is a cream-colored, rock Pokémon with a crescent moon shape. In the center of the crescent is a pointed, beak-like structure. It has deep-set, red eyes, which can cause paralyzing fear or induce sleep.
It lives in caves and becomes active under a full moon. The moon increases its power, and its health is tied to the lunar phases. Using its psychic powers, Lunatone floats through the air. It was first discovered at the site of a meteor crash. There's a theory that Lunatone may have originated from outer space.
Appearances[]
Pokémon Trozei!: Lunatone is the symbol of the Phobos Battalion.
Origin[]
Lunatone seems to be based on a crescent moon, as well as a meteorite. It might also pull from depictions of the Man in the Moon, a figure imagined from the patterns on the moon's surface, especially those of the crescent moon.
Lunatone may be a combination of luna (Latin for moon) and stone.
