Lumineon (Japanese: ネオラント Neolant) is a Water-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Finneon starting at level 31.

Biology

Physiology

Lumineon's main body has a rounder appearance than that of its pre-evolution, Finneon. Instead of having a pair of tail fins resembling butterfly wings, Lumineon has pectoral fins that resemble butterfly wings, with a wavy patterning of dark blue on them. Lumineon has teardrop-shaped pelvic fins that can allow it to crawl along the sea floor. It has a tail fin that is thin with a rounded tip and black in coloration with a purple spot.

Gender differences

The lower parts of Lumineon's butterfly wing-shaped fins are longer on a female.

Special abilities

Lumineon uses the patterns on its four tail fins to attract prey, and has the ability to crawl under water using the two fins on its chest.

Behavior

It competes for food with Lanturn.

Habitat

Lumineon usually make their home in deep sea trenches or the ocean floor, though small schools of them are known to reside in freshwater rivers and lakes.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Lumineon are omnivorous, though a large portion of their diet consists of the prey they lure with their fin patterns. Occasionally, they eat seaweed.

Trivia

• Lumineon, along with its pre-evolution Finneon, are the only non-Bug-type Pokémon to learn the move Silver Wind by leveling up.
• Despite drawing inspiration from a butterflyfish and possessing butterfly wings, Lumineon is unable to learn the move Quiver Dance.

Origin

Lumineon seems to be based on a butterflyfish, but it also possesses wings based on actual butterflies, something the butterflyfish does not. In its Platinum Pokédex entry, it is stated to walk on the seafloor using its fins, similar to a tripod fish. It exhibits bioluminescence according to its Diamond, HeartGold, and SoulSilver Pokédex entries, suggesting a possible inspiration in fish with this ability such as the neon tetra. Its iridescent appearance and long fins also share some resemblance to a Siamese fighting fish.

Name origin

Lumineon is a combination of luminous and neon.

Neolant may be a combination of neon and lantern.
