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.

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.
• Finneon is known as the beautifly of the sea.

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 or a Cardinal 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 (Taiwan and Hong Kong): 螢光魚 Yíng Guāng Yú - 螢光 (light of the firefly) may be derived from 熒光 Yíng​guāng (fluorescence). The last character means fish.
