  Whenever an electric-type move hits this Pokémon, it heals for 1/4 of its maximum HP, negating any other effect on it. This ability will not take effect if this Pokémon is ground-type and thus immune to Electric moves. Electric moves will ignore this Pokémon's substitute. This effect includes non-damaging moves, i.e. thunder wave.
- Illuminate
  Overworld: If the lead Pokémon has this ability, the wild encounter rate is doubled. This ability has no effect in battle.

  Whenever a water-type move hits this Pokémon, it heals for 1/4 of its maximum HP, negating any other effect on it. Water moves will ignore this Pokémon's substitute.

Characteristics

Lantern is a blue, fish-like Pokémon. It resembles anglerfish. It weighs around 22.5 kilograms or 49.6 pounds and is 1.2 meters tall with a slow leveling rate. It has white and red eyes, and there are yellow markings around its eyes. These yellow markings make it look like Lanturn is wearing a mask.

It has tiny sky-blue fins. It has a shark-like tail that is made from fins. The lower half of its tail is yellow, and the upper half is blue with smooth edges. There is a Y-shaped antenna on its back.

The antenna has a special circular ball at each tip. This is a modification of its tail fin. Its specie is 50% male and 50% female. The circular ball on its antenna has special bacteria that produce light.

It does so by absorbing Lanturn’s body fluids. It lures its prey using the glow of its antenna balls and blinds them by using intense flashes. It then proceeds to swallow them whole. The flash created by Lanturn is visible on the surface of the water from over three miles or five kilometers.

This is why it got a nickname called “The Deep-Sea Star.”

It competes with Lumineon when they are catching their prey, Starmies. They are hunted by Sharpedos and Frillish. They are found living in the ocean.
