Cresselia (クレセリア,Crecelia) is a creature from thePokémon series.
Origin[edit]
Cresselia is a Psychic-typeLegendary Pokémon introduced inGeneration IV, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #488 as the "Lunar Pokémon". It is associated with the crescent moon, and itsLunar Wing possesses the ability to dispel nightmares, in particular the ones caused byDarkrai.
InPokémon Diamond and Pearl,Pokémon Platinum andPokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Cresselia can be found onFullmoon Island; however, when interacted with, it runs away and has to bechased throughoutSinnoh to be battled. In later games, Cresselia is battled as a regular, stationary Legendary Pokémon.
Psycho Cut is a physical Psychic-type move with 70 base power, 100% accuracy and an increased chance of dealing acritical hit. In every game Cresselia appears in, it can learn Psycho Cut by level-up.
InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
As a stage element[edit]
Cresselia is one of three Legendary Pokémon that can appear and cause battle effects on theSpear Pillar stage inBrawl, alongsideDialga andPalkia. When the stage is tinted blue, Cresselia may appear instead of Dialga, which uses the same color tint. Cresselia remains stationary like two other Pokémon, occasionally attacking withPsycho Cut after howling. It uses Psycho Cut in two different ways:
- Throwing a single Psycho Cut that swoops across either the upper ground or the cave, like a boomerang. Deals 20% damage.
- Throwing a series of Psycho Cuts across the stage in straight lines from its position. Deals 15% damage.

Trophy[edit]
- Cresselia
- A Lunar Pokémon. Cresselia appears on Fullmoon Island and, once discovered, flies around different areas of Sinnoh. Its signature move, Lunar Dance, causes Cresselia to faint but recovers all the HP and cures the status conditions of the next Pokémon its Trainer sends out. Cresselia excels at recovery techniques and is unusual in that it appears only in female form.

InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
As a stage element[edit]
Cresselia reprises its role as a stage hazard on the returningSpear Pillar stage. Spear Pillar now allows for any of the three Legendary Pokémon to appear each time, rather than being set for the whole match; however, Cresselia appears much less frequently thanDialga andPalkia. Unlike inBrawl, the stage now has a green color tint when no Pokémon is active, and Cresselia's appearance does not change the color from this default green; inBrawl, Cresselia used the same blue tint as Dialga to signify its appearance.
As a spirit[edit]
Cresselia appears as aspirit inUltimate. It is an Ace-rank primary spirit of the Shield type.
Cresselia's Spirit Battle involves defeatingYoshi on Spear Pillar. The battle conditions are:
