Description: A massive white lion, Solgaleo's face contains what is left of the nebulous orb that made up its previous stages. The golden shell that made up its cocoon as Cosmoem has splayed out forming a rough eight pointed star around its face, as well as five golden ridges around portions of its mane. The five portions of its mane with ridges, also have reddish orange ridges closer to its face. Similarly colored bands circle just above Solgaleo's black feet. Solgaleo also has black markings on its legs, underbelly, and the end of its tail. Within the purple-blue nebula of its face, are two light blue eyes and a light blue nose.
Having another forme, Solgaleo will occasionally enter into its Radiant Sun Phase. While in Radiant Sun Phase, a third eye in the shape of a compass rose opens at the center of its forehead and Solgaleo's entire body glows brilliantly. The stars that had been in its face are replaced with streaks of light and dark energy fires off from its mane.
Solgaleo has been honored by the people of Alola since ancient times as the emissary of the sun and is also known as the "Beast that Devours the Sun". It lives in another world entirely, spending most of its time in Ultra Space. It can open up Ultra Wormholes and, along with its feminine counterpart, Lunala, can create new Cosmog. Although it is referred to as the masculine evolution of Cosmoem, Solgaleo is genderless like most Legendary Pokémon. Capable of producing and storing vast amounts of energy, Solgaleo can light up bright enough to make even the middle of the night seem like midday.
