Cresslia

Cresselia (Japanese: クレセリア Kureseria) is a Psychic-Type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. Cresselia is Darkrai's rival.

Biology Physiology Cresselia has a series of horns near her head that resemble crescent moons. She has a yellow stripe that stretches from her face to the tail. The rest of her body is blue. She has three pink wings, two under Cresselia and one above it that is lighter in color. When Cresselia is shiny, the pink wings become a teal color, her body becomes purple, and on her forehead, what used to be pink becomes teal.

Evolution Cresselia does not evolve.

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and Platinum Cresselia first makes an appearance in D/P. After defeating the Champion, the player can go to Canalave City, and  Sailor Eldritch (who let the player travel to Iron Island) has a problem. His son has fallen into a deep sleep, and plagued by nightmares. His only chance of waking up is getting the Lunar Wing, an item on Fullmoon Island. Once you get there, Cresselia appears and gives the player the Lunar Wing. You can come back to Fullmoon Island after this side-quest is complete, and Cresselia is there. Once the player interacts with it, it will fly away. Just like Mesprit, it becomes a roaming Pokémon.

Pokémon Black 2/White 2 Once the player reaches Lentimas Town, they can go east to Reversal Mountain, and go south to reach the Strange House. A ghost will lead you to the top room, and in the center of the room, you will find the Lunar Wing. Once the player defeats the Champion, they can go to Marvelous Bridge, and near the end of the bridge (if you are coming from Nimbasa City, near the beginning if they are coming from Black City or White Forest) and a text box will say that the Lunar Wing has started to shine, and giving you the option to hold it up. If you say yes, you will hear Cresselia's cry, and she will appear. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire During a time of the day (the exact time is unknown) an island will appear south of Ever Grande City. On the island is a mirage spot that Cresselia is in.
