| Ruby Sapphire |
It is said that in lands with clean air, where the stars fill the sky, there live LEDIAN in countless numbers. There is a good reason for this - the POKéMON uses the light of the stars as its energy. |

| LeafGreen | When the stars flicker in the night sky, it flutters about, scattering a glowing powder. |

| Sun | While it’s believed that starlight provides it with energy, this Pokémon also loves to eat berries. In the daytime, it curls up in the grass to sleep. |
| Moon | In battle, it throws punches with all four arms. The power of each individual blow is piddly, so it aims to win by quantity rather than quality. |
| Ultra Sun | It’s said that the patterns on its back are related to the stars in the night sky, but the details of that relationship remain unclear. |
| Ultra Moon | It flies through the night sky, sprinkling sparkly dust. According to some, if that dust sticks to you, good things will happen to you. |
