Lunatone (Japanese: ルナトーン Lunatone) is a dual-type Rock/Psychic Pokémon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
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 of its 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
Lunatone is a genderless species.
Special abilities
Lunatone's ability, Levitate, allows it to avoid Template:Type2 moves such as Earthquake or Magnitude. Its powerful 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.Its psychic powers can grow stronger under the light of the full moon.It is said that if Lunatone is exposed under the moonlight for enough time its psychic powers will grow stronger than that of an Alakazam.
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.
Habitat
Lunatone seems to prefer caves.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
This Pokémon has no need to feed since it derives all of its energy from moonlight.
In the anime
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.
Liza and her Lunatone debuted in It's Still Rocket Roll to Me alongside Tate and his Solrock. Ash Ketchum's Gym battle against Tate and Liza and their Meteorite Pokémon was in the following episode.

Trivia
- Lunatone shares the same species name with its counterpart Solrock. They are both known as Meteorite Pokémon.
- Lunatone is the only Pokémon that can learn both Ice Beam and Blizzard, but cannot learn Icy Wind.
- In the "Items" section of the DP Official Guide Book, Lunatone's name is misspelled as Lunastone.
- Despite being a moon-like Pokémon and what was shown in Crazy as a Lunatone, Lunatone cannot learn Moonlight.
- 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 its enemies when they look it in the eyes, it does not have the ability Intimidate, nor can it learn Leer or Scary Face legitimately.
