Flavor Text

: It is said to be a female evolution of Cosmog. When its third eye activates, away it flies to another world.
: Said to live in another world, this Pokémon devours light, drawing the moonless dark veil of night over the brightness of day.
: Records of it exist in writings from long, long ago, where it was known by the name “the beast that calls the moon.”
: It sometimes summons unknown powers and life-forms here to this world from holes that lead to other worlds.

: Known as the Beast That Calls the Moon, this Pokémon lives by taking in any and all light and converting it into its own energy.
: It steals the light from its surroundings and then becomes the full moon, showering its own light across the night sky.
