Flavor Text

: It is said to live in another world. The intense light it radiates from the surface of its body can make the darkest of nights light up like midday.
: This Pokémon is said to be a male evolution of Cosmog. At the activation of its third eye, it departs for another world.
: Sometimes the result of its opening an Ultra Wormhole is that energy and life-forms from other worlds are called here to this world.
: In writings from the distant past, it’s called by the name “the beast that devours the sun.”
