This dual Water/Electric type Pokémon is celebrated for its distinctive bioluminescent lures, which are modified dorsal fins capable of emitting light even in the crushing darkness of the ocean depths. Its natural habitat is primarily the deep sea, where it uses its bright lights to attract prey and communicate with other Lanturn. In the games, Lanturn is often encountered by trainers exploring underwater routes or fishing, and its unique typing gives it an advantage against common Water and Flying types while being vulnerable to Grass and Ground types. In the Pokémon anime, Lanturn has appeared in various episodes, often depicted as a gentle yet powerful resident of the ocean, sometimes aiding humans or other Pokémon. Its design, inspired by anglerfish, makes it instantly recognizable and a favorite among fans who appreciate its serene yet mysterious aura. Its ability to light up the darkest corners of the ocean has given it a significant cultural presence, symbolizing guidance and discovery in the vast unknown.
