Biology
Finneon is a small fishlike Pokémon with an ellipsoid body. The bottom half of its body is light-blue while the top half is black. A purple stripe runs across Finneon's horizontal length. This stripe can store sunlight, which allows Finneon to shine vividly at night. It has small blue pectoral fins, two black oval-shaped dorsal fins, and purple eyes. Finneon's most notable feature is the pair of caudal fins that resemble a pair of blue butterfly wings with purple spots. The bottom lobes of a female Finneon's tail fin are bigger than a male's.
Because of its wing-like fins and beautiful appearance, it is known as "The Beautifly of the Sea" and "finery fish". It lives in bodies of water, and it travels in schools, sometimes with Lumineon . Finneon is popular with divers; as a result, it is found living in resorts that feed them. Wingull is a natural predator of Finneon.
