Creature description

Cresselia is a legendary swan-shaped Pokémon with crescent-shaped wings on its sides and back, and a crescent-shaped ornament adorning its head. As is said in the Pokédex, it is said to represent the crescent moon, because on nights around the quarter moon, the aurora from its tail extends and undulates beautifully. Shiny particles are released from its wings like a veil. It is the counterpart to Darkrai, which is said to represent the new moon. Cresselia also has the power to dispel the horrific nightmares that Darkrai is capable of inducing.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

As a stage element

Cresselia rarely makes an appearance on the Spear Pillar stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, instead of the normal Dialga or Palkia. The bluish hue often associated with Dialga can also mean Cresselia. As Cresselia remains on the stage, she will occasionally do one of two actions: unleash a single, spinning energy blade (most likely Psycho Cut) that erratically moves around the stage, or release a series of Psycho Cut blades from a central point.

As a trophy

Cresslia also appears as a trophy.

Cresselia

A Lunar Pokémon. Cresselia appears on Fullmoon Island and, once discovered, flies around different areas of Sinnoh. Its signature move, Lunar Dance, causes Cresselia to faint but recovers all the HP and cures the status conditions of the next Pokémon its Trainer sends out. Cresselia excels at recovery techniques and is unusual in that it appears only in female form.
