Solgaleo is a large, white {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a lion. It has a blunt muzzle with a blue-gray nose and pale blue eyes. The top half of its face is a deep blue area that shows a constantly changing starscape. Four yellow spikes frame Solgaleo's head like a crown and two more pairs of spikes adorn either side of its lower jaw. Each spike separates large tufts of Solgaleo's mane. Solid ridges—red nearest Solgaleo's head and yellow farther away—poke out of each tuft along the middle, except on the tufts on its cheeks and chin, with the topmost part wrapping around the tip of the tuft. Overall, its mane creates the impression of a stylized sun. Around each leg is a dark orange band, and there is a black spot on each foot. It has three black toes on each foot with long yellow claws. At the tip of its tail is a large black spot with a thin yellow rim.

When Solgaleo enters its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Solgaleo and Lunala|Radiant Sun phase]], its {{wp|third eye}} appears on its forehead—a light blue symbol similar to a compass rose—and the starscape turns to streaks of light. The fur on its body glows a pale yellow and all other parts of its body except its nose turn bright yellow. It enters this phase during attacks or traveling in [[Ultra Space]].

The fur on its body glows a pale yellow and all red and black parts of its body, including its belly and paws, turn bright yellow. It enters this phase while using one of its [[signature move]]s or traveling through [[Ultra Space]]. The phase does not appear in the core series as of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.<ref name="SVForm">[https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1736911069249994991 Solgaleo does not change into its Radiant Sun phase as of Pokémon SV.]</ref>


Known as the "beast that devours the sun," Solgaleo has long been honored as an emissary of the sun.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/solgaleo/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Solgaleo]</ref> It is said to live in another world and returns there when its third eye activates. Its body is capable of holding a vast amount of energy and glows when active. The intense light it radiates can make nighttime look like midday. Solgaleo can create [[Ultra Wormhole]]s to travel to and from Ultra Space. Along with its counterpart {{p|Lunala}}, it can create {{p|Cosmog}}, which it is said to be the male evolution of. Solgaleo along with Lunala has the power to create [[Z-Crystal]]s and restore Necrozma's light, regaining its true form. It can also influence a {{p|Rockruff}}'s evolution into {{p|Lycanroc}}'s Midday form with solar energy.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/lycanroc-midday-form/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Midday Lycanroc]</ref> The residents of [[Ultra Megalopolis]] uses Solgaleo as their own [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] to travel through Ultra Space.

Solgaleo, similar to {{p|Lunala}}, is a being composed of light, due to that, it is constantly hunted down by {{p|Necrozma}} through the Ultra Space, so it can try and devour Solgaleo's light to ease its nonstopping pain and regain its original, Ultra form. When taken over by Necrozma, Necrozma's body divides into pieces that connect to Solgaleo's body, possessing it and transforming itself into Dusk Mane Necrozma, as its pieces constantly absorb Solgaleo's light.

However, Solgaleo can coexist with Necrozma willingly, regardless of fusion<ref>[[Lusamine (Masters)]]:''"It doesn't seem like Necrozma or Solgaleo are suffering in their current state. I suppose now that they have the light of our [[sync stone]], they're able to coexist peacefully."''([[Pokémon Masters EX]])</ref><ref>[[Lillie]]''"<player>, I know this may be sudden, but I hope you will consider what I ask of you. I want to entrust Nebby to you. I think Nebby should be with Necrozma. From what I've heard, Necrozma would not suffer as much or ache so for the light if it can remain close to Nebby..."''([[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]])</ref>. Solgaleo loves [[Solgaleo Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered it in the past.

===NPC appearances===
[[File:Nebby Raidant Sun Phase.png|thumb|250px|Radiant Sun phase Solgaleo in the anime]]
{{Main|Nebby}}
====Major appearances====
* [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun]] and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun}}: [[Nebby|Solgaleo]], [[nickname]]d '''Nebby''', is a major character and boss in the games.
====={{DL|Nebby|In the anime|Solgaleo (anime)}}=====
* {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Moon}}: Solgaleo is used as a [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]]. The {{player}} can use it for [[Ultra Warp Ride]] to travel through [[Ultra Space]].
In ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'', {{Ash}}'s Nebby evolved into a Solgaleo while at the [[Altar of the Sunne]], during {{ashcl|the group}}'s quest to save {{an|Lusamine}} from [[Ultra Space]]. After its final [[evolution]], Ash and his classmates typically referred to it by its proper name.


In ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', Solgaleo was involved in rescuing Lunala and Necrozma from Team Rocket's captivity. Later on, after [[Necrozma]] separated from Lunala, it was taken over by Necrozma, becoming Dusk Mane Necrozma. It then opened up an [[Ultra Wormhole]] to {{AP|Poipole}}'s world. Ash tried to follow Solgaleo (now fused with Necrozma), but failed because the Ultra Wormhole closed.
In ''[[SM089|The Prism of Light and Darkness!]]'', after being pursued by Ash, his classmates, and Lunala, to Poipole's world, Solgaleo was successfully separated from Necrozma after the Ultra Guardians, {{P|Naganadel}} and its Poipole subjects, and all the people and Pokémon of Alola sent their light to Necrozma. However, due to being fused with Necrozma for a long period of time, Solgaleo was completely drained of energy. When Ash and Mallow gave Solgaleo a [[Sitrus Berry]], Solgaleo regained its strength once more. Ash requested its power, and it and Ash performed the Z-Move {{M|Searing Sunraze Smash}} alongside Lunala and [[Gladion]], who were performing the Z-Move {{M|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}}.
====Minor appearances====
Solgaleo debuted alongside {{p|Lunala}} in {{Ash}}'s dream in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]''. It reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'' and ''Revealing the Stuff of Legend!'', and in a fantasy in ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]''.

[[File:Nebby Raidant Sun Phase.png|thumb|250px|Radiant Sun phase Solgaleo in the anime]]
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
====={{DL|Nebby|In the anime|Solgaleo (anime)}}=====
In ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'', Nebby [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Solgaleo while at the [[Altar of the Sunne]], during {{ashcl|the group}}'s quest to save {{an|Lusamine}} from [[Ultra Space]]. After reaching its final evolved form, {{Ash}} and his classmates typically referred to it by its proper name.
In ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', Solgaleo was involved in rescuing {{an|Lunala}} and {{an|Necrozma}} from [[Team Rocket]]'s captivity. Later on, after Necrozma separated from Lunala, it was taken over by Necrozma, becoming Dusk Mane Necrozma. It then opened up an [[Ultra Wormhole]] to [[Poipole's world]]. Ash tried to follow Solgaleo (now fused with Necrozma), but failed because the Ultra Wormhole closed.
In ''[[SM089|The Prism of Light and Darkness!]]'', after being pursued by Ash, his classmates, and Lunala, to {{AP|Poipole}}'s world, Solgaleo was successfully separated from Necrozma after the [[Ultra Guardians]], {{P|Naganadel}} and its {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Poipole}} subjects, and all the people and Pokémon of [[Alola]] sent their light to Necrozma. However, due to being fused with Necrozma for a long period of time, Solgaleo was completely drained of energy. When Ash and Mallow gave Solgaleo a [[Sitrus Berry]], Solgaleo regained its strength once more. Ash requested its power, and it and Ash performed {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}} alongside Lunala and {{an|Gladion}}, who were performing {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}}.
====Minor appearances====
Solgaleo debuted alongside {{p|Lunala}} in {{Ash}}'s dream in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'', where it and Lunala were shown creating Nebby. It reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'' and ''Revealing the Stuff of Legend!'', and in a fantasy in ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]''.
===GOTCHA!===
A Solgaleo briefly appeared as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].

Solgaleo physically debuted in ''[[PASM25|Summon the Emissaries of the Moon and the Sun]]'', where a {{p|Cosmoem}} evolved into it at the [[Poni Altar]] with the power of the [[Sun Flute]].
===Pokémon Horizon===
A Solgaleo appeared in ''[[HOR08|The Legend Revealed]]''. [[Meja]] was aiming to summon it through an [[Ultra Wormhole]] to use it to power his superweapon. He succeeded in ''[[HOR10|The Opened Wormhole]]'', but [[Tokio]] simultaneously summoned {{p|Lunala}} through another wormhole, suppressing Solgaleo's powers.

=== Origin===
Solgaleo appears to be based on {{wp|Lion and Sun|a lion with a sun motif}}, a fairly common motif in many Western and Middle Eastern cultures. In particular, it might reference the {{wp|Suns in alchemy|alchemical lion}}, being described as "devouring the sun", however typically a green lion and a metaphor for [[wikipedia:aqua regia|aqua regia]], as well as connected to metals via its {{t|Steel}} type (matter). In astrology, the Sun is also the ruler of the sign [[wikipedia:Leo (astrology)|Leo]].

As the emissary rather than a personification of the sun, as well as being able to pass through different dimensions, it might lend some inspiration from the {{wp|eye of Ra}}, a goddess usually described as a lion that is the sun's protector in Egyptian mythology as it travels through the underworld. Its regular and {{Shiny}} colors may be inspired by phases in {{wp|stellar evolution}}: regular Solgaleo may represent the Sun as a white main-sequence star, while Shiny Solgaleo may represent the {{wp|red giant}} that the Sun will eventually become as the hydrogen inside its core is exhausted.

Solgaleo (Japanese: ソルガレオ Solgaleo) is a dual-type Psychic/Steel Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

It evolves from Cosmoem when leveled up in Pokémon Sun, Ultra Sun, Sword, or Scarlet starting at level 53. It is one of Cosmog's final forms, the other being Lunala.

Along with Lunala, it was initially shown, without a name or any data, in May 2016, but information on it was officially revealed on June 2, 2016.

Solgaleo is the game mascot of Pokémon Sun, appearing on its boxart. Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma are often collectively referred to as the light trio by fans. It is associated with the guardian deities. It is related to the Ultra Beasts.

Solgaleo can be taken over by Necrozma through the N-Solarizer to become Dusk Mane Necrozma.

Biology

Solgaleo in its Radiant Sun phase

Solgaleo is a large, white Pokémon resembling a lion. It has a blunt muzzle with a blue-gray nose and pale blue eyes. The top half of its face is a deep blue area that shows a constantly changing starscape. Four yellow spikes frame Solgaleo's head like a crown and two more pairs of spikes adorn either side of its lower jaw. Each spike separates large tufts of Solgaleo's mane. Solid ridges—red nearest Solgaleo's head and yellow farther away—poke out of each tuft along the middle, except on the tufts on its cheeks and chin, with the topmost part wrapping around the tip of the tuft. Overall, its mane creates the impression of a stylized sun. Around each leg is a dark orange band, and there is a black spot on each foot. It has three black toes on each foot with long yellow claws. At the tip of its tail is a large black spot with a thin yellow rim.

When Solgaleo enters its Radiant Sun phase, its third eye—a light blue symbol similar to a compass rose—appears on its foreheadand the starscape turns to streaks of light. The fur on its body glows a pale yellow and all red and black parts of its body, including its belly and paws, turn bright yellow. It enters this phase while using one of its signature moves or traveling through Ultra Space. The phase does not appear in the core series as of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.[1]

Solgaleo has long been honored as an emissary of the sun;[2] in ancient times, it was known as "the beast that devours the sun". It is said to live in another world and returns there when its third eye activates. Its body is capable of holding a vast amount of energy and glows when active. The intense light it radiates can make nighttime look like midday. Solgaleo can create Ultra Wormholes to travel to and from Ultra Space. Along with its counterpart Lunala, it can create Cosmog, which it is said to be the male evolution of. Solgaleo along with Lunala has the power to create Z-Crystals and restore Necrozma's light, regaining its true form. It can also influence a Rockruff's evolution into Lycanroc's Midday form with solar energy.[3] The residents of Ultra Megalopolis uses Solgaleo as their own Ride Pokémon to travel through Ultra Space.

Solgaleo, similar to Lunala, is a being composed of light; due to that, it is constantly hunted down by Necrozma through Ultra Space, so it can try and devour Solgaleo's light to ease its nonstopping pain and regain its original, Ultra form. When taken over by Necrozma, Necrozma's body divides into pieces that connect to Solgaleo's body, possessing it and transforming itself into Dusk Mane Necrozma, as its pieces constantly absorb Solgaleo's light. However, Solgaleo can coexist with Necrozma willingly, regardless of fusion[4][5]. Solgaleo loves Solgaleo Treats made by Snacksworth, who once encountered it in the past.

Solgaleo and Dusk Mane Necrozma are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Sunsteel Strike. They are also the only known Pokémon capable of using the Z-Move Searing Sunraze Smash. Additionally, Solgaleo is the only known Pokémon that can have Full Metal Body as an Ability.

Evolution

Solgaleo evolves from Cosmoem and is one of the final forms of Cosmog, the other being Lunala.

Main series

Major appearances

Solgaleo (anime)

In Revealing the Stuff of Legend!, Nebby evolved into a Solgaleo while at the Altar of the Sunne, during the group's quest to save Lusamine from Ultra Space. After reaching its final evolved form, Ash and his classmates typically referred to it by its proper name.

In Full Moon and Many Arms!, Solgaleo was involved in rescuing Lunala and Necrozma from Team Rocket's captivity. Later on, after Necrozma separated from Lunala, it was taken over by Necrozma, becoming Dusk Mane Necrozma. It then opened up an Ultra Wormhole to Poipole's world. Ash tried to follow Solgaleo (now fused with Necrozma), but failed because the Ultra Wormhole closed.

In The Prism of Light and Darkness!, after being pursued by Ash, his classmates, and Lunala, to Poipole's world, Solgaleo was successfully separated from Necrozma after the Ultra Guardians, Naganadel and its Poipole subjects, and all the people and Pokémon of Alola sent their light to Necrozma. However, due to being fused with Necrozma for a long period of time, Solgaleo was completely drained of energy. When Ash and Mallow gave Solgaleo a Sitrus Berry, Solgaleo regained its strength once more. Ash requested its power, and it and Ash performed Searing Sunraze Smash alongside Lunala and Gladion, who were performing Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom.

Minor appearances

Solgaleo debuted alongside Lunala in Ash's dream in A Dream Encounter!, where it and Lunala were shown creating Nebby. It reappeared in flashbacks in Faba's Revenge! and Revealing the Stuff of Legend!, and in a fantasy in Tough Guy Trials!.

Trivia

  • In Pokémon Sun and Moon, Solgaleo has a base experience yield of 137.
  • Solgaleo has the highest base HP stat of all Steel-type Pokémon.
  • In games prior to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Solgaleo has a catch rate of 45.
  • Solgaleo's Japanese name and its romanization were revealed in a tweet[dead link] of their trademark on March 22, 2016.
  • Solgaleo's physical and special stats are the reverse of Lunala's.
  • Solgaleo's verbal cry in Pokémon Sun, "La-liona", may be based on the words (Hawaiian for sun) and liona (Hawaiian for lion).

Origin

Solgaleo appears to be based on a lion with a sun motif, a fairly common motif in many Western and Middle Eastern cultures. In particular, it might reference the alchemical lion, being described as "devouring the sun", however typically a green lion and a metaphor for aqua regia, as well as connected to metals via its Steel type (matter). In astrology, the Sun is also the ruler of the sign Leo.

As the emissary rather than a personification of the sun, as well as being able to pass through different dimensions, it might lend some inspiration from the eye of Ra, a goddess usually described as a lion that is the sun's protector in Egyptian mythology as it travels through the underworld. Its regular and Shiny colors may be inspired by phases in stellar evolution: regular Solgaleo may represent the Sun as a white main-sequence star, while Shiny Solgaleo may represent the red giant that the Sun will eventually become as the hydrogen inside its core is exhausted.

Name origin

Solgaleo may be a combination of sol (Latin for sun) and leo (Latin for lion). It may also incorporate Galileo, an Italian astronomer who presented evidence that the Earth rotated around the Sun and advocated Copernican heliocentrism.
