===Major appearances===

Cresselia made its debut appearance in the {{pkmn|anime}} in ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]''. Cresselia normally returns to its shrine on [[Fullmoon Island]] during a certain time of the year when a {{p|Darkrai}} also comes by to cause nightmares. It may also leave its [[Lunar Wing|feathers]], which people find to help stop the nightmares caused by Darkrai. In the episode, Cresselia helped {{Ash}} and the residents of [[Canalave City]] get better sleep by stopping Darkrai.

==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.''
