Biology

Lunala is a large, bat-like Pokémon that is revered as "the beast that calls the moon". When its wings are spread wide, Lunala resembles a night sky and crescent moon. Lunala can devour light, drawing a moonless dark veil of night over the brightness of day. It can be fused with Necrozma to become Dawn Wings Necrozma.
