Cresselia (Japanese: クレセリア Cresselia) is a Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other pokémon.
Cresselia and Darkrai are often collectively referred to as the lunar duo by fans.
Cresselia is a pokémon that has a blue, swan-like body with a yellow underside. It has pink eyes, a dark pink, round tuft on its head, and a pointed, beak-like snout. There are yellow, crescent-shaped ornaments on the sides of its head that merge in the back. It has a pointed, tail-like protrusion on its rear. Cresselia has glowing, pink, ring-like wings on its sides and back. The wings on its sides are solid dark pink, while the wing on its back is larger and consists of three shades of pink. It has paw-like protrusions resting on its chest. Cresselia generally stays afloat in the air.
Cresselia resides on Fullmoon Island and is said to represent the crescent moon. Its veil-like wings release shining particles when it flies, and the aurora from its tail extends and undulates beautifully on nights around the quarter moon. It also leaves a line of light as it soars throughout the night sky, with Professor Laventon noting that it bears a resemblance to the heavenly maiden who created the Milky Way. Those who sleep holding Cresselia's Lunar Feather are blessed with joyful dreams. It can dispel the nightmares caused by its counterpart, the Mythical Pokémon Darkrai, with its Lunar Feathers also being capable of achieving this effect. Additionally, Cresselia can combine its Drowsy Power with Snorlax's to repel Darkrai's nightmares through the power of slumbering. As mentioned in pokémon Sleep, Cresselia has been observed, on very rare occasions, surrounded by light and praying in its sleep. There have been rumors that [[scientist|scientists] felt a mysterious surge of power from this rare sight. The relationship between Cresselia and Darkrai can vary between different individuals and canons, with some depicting it as antagonistic (Sleepless In Pre-Battle! and pokémon Mystery Dungeon), while others portray it as cooperative (Nightfall? Nightmares! and A Midsummer Night's Light!).
Cresselia is the only known pokémon capable of learning the moves Lunar Dance and Lunar Blessing.
