I believe that in Pokemon: Platinum, Cresselia's Nature and IVs are set when you encounter it at Full Moon Island, despite the fact that you don't actually engage it in battle. I believe this because after saving before going to the island, capturing it, then reseting, the stats and nature changed while, after visiting the island, THEN saving, capturing Cresselia, and reseting, the stats and nature remained the same. Does anyone else have evidence to support this and, if so, is it worth mentioning in the main article?

== "Heavenly maiden who created the Milky Way." == | |||
In Cresselia's Hisuian Pokédex entry it states: "''Cresselia is reminiscent of the crescent moon. It leaves a brilliant line of light in its wake as it flies across the night sky. I daresay '''it resembles the heavenly maiden who created the Milky Way'''.''" I think that this reference to a "heavenly maiden who created the Milky Way" might be a nod to Cresselia's real-world origin. I have found 2 myths that fit the criteria of a maiden creating the Milky Way which I will link here: {{wp|Milky Way (mythology)#Khoisan|Khoisan Milky Way myth}} and {{wp|Milky Way (mythology)#Finno-Ugric|Finnish and Estonian Milky Way maiden myth}}. I think that there might be enough evidence of Cresselia being based on one of these myths to put it in the "Origin" section of this article.
