==Biology==

Due to its appearance, Cresselia is said to resemble a crescent moon and the woman who made the Milky Way. Cresselia has the power to dispel nightmares, and holding one of its [[Lunar Feather|feathers]] is said to bring happy dreams. It is also great at recovery and healing techniques. Cresselia can unleash spores in the air to cause confusion on opponents while forming a shield to defend itself at the same time. Its relationship to its counterpart, {{p|Darkrai}}, can vary between individuals and [[canon]]s, with some being antagonistic, as seen in ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]'' and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], or cooperative, as seen in ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'' and ''[[JN075|A Midsummer Night's Light!]]''. It tends to reside on an island or mountain that has a Darkrai nearby in order to keep an eye on it. Cresselia is a female-only species.

Cresselia is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Lunar Dance}} and {{m|Lunar Blessing}}.
