Flavor Text |

| Sun | It can discern the physical and emotional states of people, Pokémon, and other natural things from the shape of their aura waves. | |
| Moon | It’s tough enough to run right through the night, and it’s also a hard worker, but it’s still just a youngster. | |
| Ultra Sun | It knows how people and Pokémon feel by looking at their auras. It doesn’t approach dangerous opponents. | |
| Ultra Moon | It uses waves called auras to communicate with others of its kind. It doesn’t make any noise during this time, so its enemies can’t detect it. | |
