Solgaleo, the Sunne Pokémon, is a majestic Psychic/Steel-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation VII. It is the evolved form of Cosmoem, which in turn evolves from Cosmog. Revered as an emissary of the sun, Solgaleo is said to live in another world and travel through Ultra Wormholes. Its body is capable of radiating light, and it is believed to hold a third eye when it unleashes its full power. In the Alola region, Solgaleo is a central figure in ancient legends and is deeply intertwined with the region's history and mythology, often depicted alongside its counterpart, Lunala. Its powerful signature move, Sunsteel Strike, allows it to ignore abilities of the opponent's Pokémon. Solgaleo plays a crucial role in the main story of Pokémon Sun, where it helps the player character traverse dimensions. Its imposing design, resembling a white lion with golden accents and a cosmic mane, makes it a visually striking and memorable Pokémon, embodying power and celestial grace.
