Pokédex entries

Pokémon Crystal

This Pokémon uses the bright part of its body, which changed from a dorsal fin, to lure prey.

Pokémon Ruby

Lanturn is nicknamed "the deep-sea star" for its illuminated antenna. This Pokémon produces light by causing a chemical reaction between bacteria and its bodily fluids inside the antenna.

Pokémon Emerald

The light-emitting orbs on its back are very bright. They are formed from a part of its dorsal fin. This Pokémon illuminates the inky darkness of deep seas.

Name origin

Lanturn's name is a misspelling of the word lantern.

It seems to be based on an anglerfish.
