The light blue markings on Lumineon's pectoral fins are able to emit light. There is a band of light blue running vertically around its body. Its tail is long with a deep pink spot at the tip, and it has a pair of light blue pelvic fins.
Lumineon usually makes its home deep in the ocean, where it walks along the seafloor using the fins on its chest. This behavior helps it to avoid predators. The light unleashed by schools of Lumineon on the surface or bottom of the ocean has been compared to the shining stars at night, a sight considered breathtaking. Lumineon attracts its own prey by using the patterning on its wing-like fins, and typically competes with {{p|Lanturn}} for food. Lumineon preys on {{p|Staryu}} and {{p|Starmie}}.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Lumineon seems to be based on a {{wp|freshwater butterflyfish}}, but it also possesses wings based on actual {{wp|butterfly|butterflies}}, something the butterflyfish does not. In its Platinum [[Pokédex]] entry, it is said to walk on the seafloor using its fins, similar to a {{wp|Ipnopidae|deepsea tripod fish}}. It exhibits {{wp|bioluminescence}} according to its Diamond, HeartGold, and SoulSilver Pokédex entries, suggesting a possible inspiration in fish that have this ability, such as the {{wp|marine hatchetfish}}. Its {{wp|Iridescence|iridescent}} appearance and long fins also share some resemblance to a {{wp|Siamese fighting fish}}. Its name suggests it may be based on the {{wp|neon tetra}}.
