Lunatone is a Pokémon that originally came from space. They originally came to earth within meteorites and have since adapted to life on earth quite nicely.
Physiology
Lunatone resembles a crescent moon. It has red eyes on the side it's body and has an unusual beak like structure in front of it. Being an inorganic Pokémon, it isn't preyed upon, nor does it need to prey on others, as it derives all its energy from moonlight. It uses telekinesis to float in mid-air.
Gender differences
This Pokémon is genderless.
Special abilities
Lunatone's ability, Levitate, allows it to avoid Template:Type2 moves such as Earthquake or Magnitude. Its red eyes also fill the onlooker with fear.It is capable of reading the thoughts of other lifeforms like most psychic types. It is even capable of brainwashing, but only does this when it feels threatened and usually as a last resort.
Behavior
Lunatone's power and health seems to be tied directly to the phases of the moon. When there is a full moon, Lunatone is at the peak of its strength. Presumably when there is a new moon, Lunatone is defenseless. It is capable of reading the minds of other lifeforms.
Lunatone first appeared in Crazy as a Lunatone. A pair of thieves calling themselves the PMC was after it due to wanting to get their hands on another outer-space Pokémon.
Lunatone, the Meteorite Pokémon. Lunatone is believed by some people to have come from outer space. It moves around most actively during full moons and its powerful red eyes instill fear into anyone who beholds them.
Lunatone was discovered at a location where a meteorite fell. As a result, some people theorize that this Pokémon came from space. However, no one has been able to prove this theory so far.
Lunatone becomes active around the time of the full moon. Instead of walking, it moves by floating in midair. The Pokémon's intimidating red eyes cause all those who see it to become transfixed with fear.

Without its ability, this Pokémon and its counterpart Solrock are the only Pokémon that have seven weaknesses and are not partially Template:Type2 or doubly weak/resistant to anything. Other Pokémon that have seven weaknesses include Celebi, Exeggcute, Exeggutor, Snover, and Abomasnow.
Despite Pokédex entries claiming that Lunatone strikes fear into it's enemies when they look it in the eyes, it does not have the ability Intimidate, nor can it learn Leer or Scary Face legitimately.
