The behavior of this clown-like Pokémon reminds one of pantomime. It creates invisible walls using a force emitted from its fingertips.

Cresselia is reminiscent of the crescent moon. It leaves a brilliant line of light in its wake as it flies across the night sky. I daresay it resembles the heavenly maiden who created the Milky Way.

Why this Pokémon

May 1 is day 122 of the year on a leap-year calendar. Divided by 366 that leaves a remainder of 122, and every Pokédex number leaving the same remainder belongs to this date. The lowest of them, No.122, is the one this page leads with.

The straightforward reading — 27 July becomes No. 727 — breaks down in November, where the numbers run past 1025 and leave those birthdays empty. Cycling through 366 keeps every date filled.
