Lunala and Solgaleo teaming up with Gladion and Ash
Lunala reappeared inFull Moon and Many Arms!, where Necrozma continued to chase it aroundMelemele Island. Despite the best efforts ofTapu Koko, Necrozma was able to merge with Lunala, becomingDawn Wings Necrozma. Lunala was later freed when Nebby appeared and forced Necrozma to separate from it. Lunala was subsequently taken to theUltra Guardians base below thePokémon School to be healed. Later, Lunala was able to recover itself by using the energy emitted from Ash,Kiawe,Lana, and Gladion'sZ-Rings.
InSecuring the Future!, Lunala helped Necrozma by giving it some of itsZ-Power. This forced Necrozma to release Nebby, but it also angered Necrozma into attacking everyone again. After giving Gladion aLunalium Z, Lunala and Gladion performedMenacing Moonraze Maelstrom, while Ash and Nebby usedSearing 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 inFull Moon and Many Arms!, where it savedLillie, a girl it barely knew, from falling when she was knocked off herRideAltaria. Lunala is also been shown as being playful, as evident by the way it was chasingNebby through an Ultra Wormhole.
