Cursola
Cursola is a Ghost type Pokémon introduced in Generation 8.
Cursola gather on the night of the full moon and fire off their branches toward the sky. There are various theories on why they might do this - ranging from it being a way to release the energy they’ve absorbed from others, to it being a form of communication between Cursola - but the true reason is still unknown.
