Collector Insights

Lunatone is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 60 HP and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It features the ability Gravity Change, which lets the player discard a card from their hand during their turn and draw another if Solrock is in play, provided Lunatone isn’t under a Special Condition. Its sole attack, Knock Over, costs one Colorless energy and deals 20 damage while allowing the discard of any Stadium card currently in play. The card’s flavor text references its connection to lunar phases, hinting at its nocturnal activity. It belongs to the Diamond & Pearl series, released as part of the Great Encounters set in February 2008. Designed by artist Ken Sugimori, this Common rarity card has no resistances but is weak to Psychic-type attacks, taking an additional 20 damage. The card’s structure includes a single Poké-Power ability and adheres to standard Pokémon TCG rules without special exceptions. Its design reflects the Pokémon’s thematic association with moonlight and celestial cycles.

Because it turns active on nights of the full moon, it is said to have some link to the lunar phases.
