Solgaleo is likely based on {{wp|Lion and Sun|a lion with a sun motif}}, a fairly common motif in many Western and Middle Eastern cultures. In particular, Solgaleo might reference the {{wp|Suns in alchemy|alchemical lion}}, being described as "devouring the sun", as well as connected to metals via its {{t|Steel}} type. Finally, being the emissary rather than personification of the sun as well as being able to pass through different dimensions, Solgaleo might lend some inspiration from the {{wp|eye of Ra}}, a goddess usually described as a lion that is the sun's protector in Egyptian mythology as it travels through the underworld. | Solgaleo is likely based on {{wp|Lion and Sun|a lion with a sun motif}}, a fairly common motif in many Western and Middle Eastern cultures.
