Trivia
- Lunala is the fifth Pokemon to be based on a bat, the others being Zubat, Woobat, Gligar and Noibat (and their respective evolutions).
- Lunala and Solgaleo are the first legendary Pokémon to have evolutions.
- Ironically, while Lunala is the incarnation of night and darkness it is 4x weak to Dark. It shares this trait with Solgaleo, who despite symbolizing the sun is weak against Fire.
- The Pokedex entry for Sun states it as a female, while it is actually genderless.
Origin
Lunala is based off a bat with a crescent moon motif, as well as a symbolism of bats with their cultural association to the night. Its Shiny coloration is based on the blood-red hue of a lunar eclipse.
