Origin

Cresselia's official artwork from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.

Cresselia is a Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon introducing in Generation IV. It is associated with the crescent moon, and its Lunar Wing possesses the ability to dispel nightmares, in particular the ones caused by Darkrai. In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and Pokémon Platinum Cresselia can be found on Fullmoon Island, however when interacted with it runs away. Cresselia can then be found randomly in any route, and will attempt to run away whenever it gets a free turn unless it gets trapped by a move like Mean Look or an ability like Shadow Tag: however, any damage and status conditions received will be retained. In following games it is fought as a normal stationary legendary Pokémon.

Psycho Cut is a physical Psychic-type move which Cresselia can learn naturally in every game where both are available. It has 70 base power, 100% accuracy and a increased chance of dealing a critical hit.
