The Pokémon’s story

Lunatone was discovered near a meteorite crater, giving rise to the idea that it came from space. The Pokédex explains, however, that no evidence confirms this origin. It levitates rather than walking, and its activity increases when the moon is full. Its red eyes can frighten or put an opponent to sleep. Between the site of its discovery and the rhythm of its movements, it feeds a celestial legend without that legend becoming an established fact.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Omega Ruby emphasises that Lunatone’s space origin remains a hypothesis arising from its discovery near a crater. Pokémon Sword connects its strength with the lunar cycle. Both clues evoke the sky, but only its behaviour during the full moon is described directly.
