Original Alola#291Updated Alola#389

Solgaleo was once known as the Beast That Devours the Sun. Energy in the form of light radiates boundlessly from it.
Shield
When light radiates from its body, this Pokémon could almost appear to be the sun. It will dispel any darkness and light up the world.
Sword
In writings from the distant past, it’s called by the name “the beast that devours the sun.”
Ultra Moon
Sometimes the result of its opening an Ultra Wormhole is that energy and life-forms from other worlds are called here to this world.
Ultra Sun
This Pokémon is said to be a male evolution of Cosmog. At the activation of its third eye, it departs for another world.
Moon
It is said to live in another world. The intense light it radiates from the surface of its body can make the darkest of nights light up like midday.
