Finneon (Japanese: ケイコウオ Keikouo) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves into Lumineon starting at level 31.

Biology

Physiology

Finneon is a small fish Pokémon with a football-shaped body. The bottom half of its body is light-blue while the top half is black. A purple stripe runs across Finneon's horizontal length. Finneon has small blue pectoral fins, two black oval-shaped dorsal fins and purple eyes. Finneon's most notable feature is the pair of caudal fins that resemble a pair of blue butterfly wings with purple spots. Because of its wing-like fins, it is known as "The Beautifly of the Sea".

Gender differences

The bottom lobes of a female's tail fin are bigger than a male's.

Special abilities

Finneon can use various Template:Type2 attacks such as Water Gun and Surf as well as Ice Beam and Blizzard. To coincide with the fact that Finneon looks as if it has a pair of butterfly wings, it can learn Silver Wind, Gust and U-turn.

Finneon travel in schools, sometimes grouping with Lumineon.

Trivia

• Finneon, along with its evolution Lumineon, is the only non Template:Type2 Pokémon to learn the move Silver Wind by leveling up.
• Despite what its Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia browser entry states, Finneon cannot learn Bubble or BubbleBeam by any means.
• Although it is obviously a fish, Finneon's cry in the anime is actually more akin to a dolphin's.

Origin

Finneon's large tail fins are similar to the Freshwater butterflyfish, and they also resemble wings of actual butterflies. It also resembles a Neon tetra.

Name Origin

Finneon's name is a combination of "fin", and "neon". The name Keikouo is a portmanteau of the words 蛍光 keikō, fluorescence, and 魚 uo, fish.

In other languages

• German: Finneon
• French: Ecayon - From écaille (scale) and rayon (ray).
• Korean: 형광어 Hyeonggwang-eo
• Chinese: 螢光魚 Ying Guang Yu
