Solgaleo (ソルガレオ, Solgaleo) is a Legendary Pokémon from the Alola region.
Origin[edit]
Solgaleo is a Psychic/Steel-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation VII, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #791 as the "Sunne Pokémon". It serves as the mascot for Pokémon Sun. It evolves from Cosmoem when leveled up in Pokémon Sun, Pokémon Ultra Sun, Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Scarlet starting at level 53. It is one of Cosmog's final forms, the other being Lunala. Necrozma fuses with Solgaleo using the N-Solarizer to become Dusk Mane Necrozma.
Sunsteel Strike is Solgaleo's signature move. It has 100 power and 100% accuracy and allows its user to ignore the target's Abilities when dealing damage.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
As a Poké Ball Pokémon[edit]

Once summoned, Solgaleo appears on stage and unleashes its signature move, Sunsteel Strike (メテオドライブ, Meteor Drive) towards its opposing fighters, and will teleport to another place on the stage, repeating the process until it disappears. Sunsteel Strike takes the form of a fiery aura circling Solgaleo before it launches itself forward in a sudden beam of fire, which can be hard to dodge due to its sheer speed.
On most stages, Solgaleo has a spawn chance of 12/1463 from Poké Balls and 40/842 from Master Balls. It has a modified spawn weight on the following stages (actual chances may vary based on changes to other Pokémon):
- Master Balls 40 → 60: Pokémon Stadium 2.
Solgaleo cannot be summoned on the following stages in a standard versus match (applies only to the base form unless noted otherwise):
Spirit[edit]
Solgaleo also appears as an Ace-class primary spirit. In Adventure Mode: World of Light, its spirit is called as part of Galeem's reinforcements in The Final Battle after the first Crazy Hand is defeated.
Solgaleo's Spirit Battle uses a white Gold Incineroar puppet fighter with 160 HP and is fought on a hazardless Spear Pillar. Incineroar favors special moves and starts with a Poké Ball containing Solgaleo.
