“Lunacraze feeds on fear and doubt, whispering madness into the minds of its enemies. Even seasoned trainers report strange hallucinations after encountering it.”
Behavior & Nature:
Predatory and intelligent; its presence distorts perception even for experienced trainers.
Feeds psychologically, subtly manipulating opponents to attack themselves or panic.

Prefers abandoned buildings, dense forests, or caves where shadows are plentiful.
Tends to stalk silently, often in regions with historical tales of hauntings or strange phenomena.
Legends & Folklore:
Often described as a “shadow that watches from the corner of your eye.”
Encountering Lunacraze may leave lingering paranoia or hallucinations.

Ancient murals depict a humanoid figure with distorted proportions, thought to be Lunacraze, indicating a long-standing presence in folklore.
Pokémon World Significance:
Used as a cautionary tale for young trainers about fear and overconfidence.
Whimshadow’s presence may enhance cunning and cleverness in allied Dark-type Pokémon.
Trainers bonding with Lunacraze must have exceptional patience and composure, or risk mental strain.
Fun Facts / Extra Flavor:
Lunacraze’s long fingers can leave subtle marks on walls or floors, sometimes forming unintentionally or intentionally eerily shapes or messages.
Staring too long into its glowing eyes may induce hypnotic or dizzying effects, though this is anecdotal.
