| Said to purify lost, forsaken souls with its flames and guide them to the afterlife. I believe its form has been influenced by the energy of the sacred mountain towering at Hisui's center.

Trivia
The Pokémon.com article for the UK distribution of the Astral Radiance stamp promotional variant incorrectly stated "SMITH" instead of "WHSmith" as the target store chain. Promotional material in-store for the distribution also suggested that it should have began in tandem with the launch of the expansion on May 27.
