Lunar Dance (Japanese: みかづきのまい Crescent Moon Dance) is a non-damaging Psychic-type move introduced in Generation IV. It is the signature move of Cresselia.

Effect

Generation IV

Lunar Dance causes the user to faint, but restores the HP, PP and removes all status conditions (except fainting) of the Pokémon that is sent out to take its place. If the user moves before the opponent, the restored Pokémon is then sent out before the end of its turn.

Generation V onward

The receiving Pokémon is now sent out at the end of the turn after all other Pokémon have moved.

Lunar Dance can now be stolen by Snatch.

If powered up with a Psychium Z into Z-Lunar Dance, the move will gain no additional effects.
