Lumineon (Japanese: ネオラント Neolant) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves from Finneon starting at level 31.

Biology

Physiology

Lumineon's main body has a rounder appearance than that of its pre-evolution, Finneon. Instead of having a pair of tail fins resembling butterfly wings, Lumineon has pectoral fins that resemble butterfly wings, with a wavy patterning of dark blue on them. Lumineon has teardrop-shaped pelvic fins that can allow it to crawl along the sea floor. It has a tail fin that resembles the tail of Wynaut, being similar in shape and black in coloration, with a spot on it, however the spot is purple instead of white.

Gender differences

The lower parts of Lumineon's butterfly wing-shaped fins are longer on a female.

Special abilities

Lumineon uses the patterns on its four tail fins to attract prey, and has the abilty to crawl under water using the two fins on its chest.

Behavior

It competes for food with Lanturn.

Habitat

Lumineon usually make their home in deep sea trenches or the ocean floor, though small schools of them are known to reside in freshwater rivers and lakes.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Lumineon are omnivorous, though a large portion of their diet consists of the prey they lure with their fin patterns. Occasionally they eat seaweed, and rarer still they can be found with a Rindo Berry.

In the anime

Lumineon in the anime

Trivia

• Lumineon, along with its pre-evolution Finneon, are the only non-Bug-type Pokémon to learn the move Silver Wind by leveling up.

Origin

Lumineon seems to be based on a butterflyfish, but it also possesses wings based on actual butterflies, something the butterflyfish does not. In its Platinum Pokédex entry, it is stated to walk on the seafloor using its fins, similar to a tripod fish. It exhibits bioluminescence according to its Diamond, HeartGold, and SoulSilver Pokédex entries, suggesting a possible inspiration in fish with this ability such as the neon tetra. Its iridescent appearance and long fins also share some resembelance to a Siamese fighting fish.

Name origin

Its name comes from "luminous" and "neon". Its Japanese name, Neolant, may stem from the English words "neon" and "lantern".

In other languages

• German: Lumineon
• French: Lumineon
• Korean: 네오라이트 Ne-oraiteu
• Chinese (Taiwan): 霓虹魚 Ní Hóng Yú - Literally "Secondary rainbow fish". 霓虹 may also be derived from 霓虹燈 Ní​hóng​dēng (neon lamp). The name can also be derived from 霓虹燈魚 Ní​hóng​dēngyú (neon tetra).
