Lunala and Solgaleo teaming up with Gladion and Ash
Lunala reappeared in Full Moon and Many Arms!, where Necrozma continued to chase it around Melemele Island. Despite the best efforts of Tapu Koko, Necrozma was able to merge with Lunala, becoming Dawn Wings Necrozma. Lunala was later freed when Nebby appeared and forced Necrozma to separate from it. Lunala was subsequently taken to the Ultra Guardians base below the Pokémon School to be healed. Later, Lunala was able to recover itself by using the energy emitted from Ash, Kiawe, Lana, and Gladion's Z-Rings.
In Securing the Future!, Lunala helped Necrozma by giving it some of its Z-Power. This forced Necrozma to release Nebby, but it also angered Necrozma into attacking everyone again. After giving Gladion a Lunalium Z, Lunala and Gladion performed Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom, while Ash and Nebby used Searing Sunraze Smash. The combined Z-Moves successfully gave Necrozma enough light to regain its true form and restore Poipole's home world. Afterwards, it, Nebby, and the Ultra Guardians went back to Alola.
Personality and characteristics
Lunala is shown to have a caring attitude towards humans, as evident in Full Moon and Many Arms!, where it saved Lillie, a girl it barely knew, from falling when she was knocked off her RideAltaria. Lunala is also been shown as being playful, as evident by the way it was chasing Nebby through an Ultra Wormhole.
