Lunala
“Said to live in another world, this Pokémon devours light, drawing the moonless dark veil of night over the brightness of day.”
In the opposite corner is Lunala. A psychic and ghost-type Pokemon, Lunala has far fewer type weaknesses than Solgaleo, but it does sustain far heavier damage from Ghost and Dark that it is susceptible to. Luckily, these are far less common and more manageable to handle than the number of Solgaleo’s weaknesses. In order to keep things fair, Lunala’s base stats also come in at 680, however, the way these points are distributed is where it differs from Solgaleo.
- HP – 137
- Attack – 113
- Defense – 89
- Sp. Attack – 137
- Sp. Defense – 107
- Speed – 97
What we essentially see between the two legendary Pokemon is their Attack and Defense stats swapping with the others Sp. Attack and Sp. Defense stats. For example, Solgaleo’s Attack of 137 is the same as Lunala’s Sp. Attack, and the same applies for the other respective stats. As for HP and Speed, the two match up pretty equally. Due to the better Sp. Attack, many of the moves that Lunala will learn naturally will be special rather than physical attacks.
If you’d like an incredibly strong psychic and ghost-type Pokemon, Lunala is more than likely the legendary you’re going to want to pick in Sun and Moon.
