Trivia
- When Cresselia is encountered, the music is the same as an ordinary wild Pokémon. It shares this trait with Shaymin. However, in Cresselia's case, this may be intended to catch the player off-guard.
- Cresselia can be seen as an opposite of Darkrai, as Darkrai causes nightmares, where Cresselia prevents them. Also, their islands are shaped and named opposite of each other.
- Cresselia is one of three legendary Pokémon that has a definite gender (Heatran also has a gender but can be male or female).
- Infi's hair color may be based off Cresselia, though this may be merely a coincidence.
Origin
Cresselia is based after a swan with features of heavenly bodies such as a crescent moon-shaped head and rings like Saturn's around its body.
Name origin
Its name is derived from crescent, referring to a phase of the moon.
