}}

'''Cresselia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クレセリア''' ''Crecelia'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

==In the manga==

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

Cresselia appears under the ownership of {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}}, who caught it on [[Fullmoon Island]] in order to give Sailor [[Eldritch]]'s son the cure to wake up from a terrible nightmare. Cresselia followed its Trainer into the [[Distortion World]] where it squared up against its nemesis, {{p|Darkrai}}. Eventually, {{adv|Platinum}} got on Cresselia in order to chase [[Charon]] who was commanding {{p|Giratina}} to fly him out of the Distortion World.

==Other appearances==

===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===

Cresselia appears on the {{st|Spear Pillar}} stage as one of three Pokémon who appear in the center (the others being Dialga and Palkia). Cresselia acts completely different than the other two in terms of attacks it uses. It will often use {{m|Psycho Cut}}s around the field, and sometimes shoot one large Psycho Cut as if it were a boomerang, hitting anyone that touches it.

''A Lunar Pokémon. Cresselia appears on [[Fullmoon Island]] and, once discovered, flies around different areas of Sinnoh. Its signature [[move]], {{m|Lunar Dance}}, causes Cresselia to faint but recovers all the HP and cures the status conditions of the next Pokémon its Trainer sends out. Cresselia excels at recovery techniques and is unusual in that it appears only in female form.''
