In every Pokémon generation, Legendary Pokémon can be found. They usually adorn the covers of the games. So it is also in Sun and Moon. Here are the “main Pokémon” Solgaleo and Lunala.
Solgaleo
Category: Sun Circle
Types: Psychic + Steel
Height: 3.4 m
Weight: 230.0 kg
Ability: Full Metal Body
Solgaleo is revered as an emissary of the sun and is also known as the “Sun Eater.” Its mane resembles a sun, and its body contains immense amounts of energy. The unique move is Sunsteel Strike: Solgaleo charges at opponents with the force of a meteor and ignores their ability.
Solgaleo’s ability is Full Metal Body. This is new, as no other Pokémon has this ability. Attackers cannot lower Solgaleo’s stats – whether through moves or abilities.
Lunala
Category: Moon Disc
Types: Psychic + Ghost
Height: 4.0 m
Weight: 120.0 kg
Ability: Shadow Shield
Lunala is revered as an emissary of the moon and is also called the “Moon Bringer.” When Lunala spreads its wings, it absorbs all light around it and converts it into energy. The unique move is Moongeist Beam, an attack with a “sinister beam of light” that ignores the target’s ability.
Lunala has the new ability Shadow Shield. This reduces damage received when at full health.
These two legendary Pokémon are meant to shape the upcoming adventure. They both play a crucial role. However, the true significance of Solgaleo and Lunala is still a secret.
They can take on another form when they unleash their power: The sunrise phase and the full moon phase. What this exactly entails is still reported as unknown:
