>not an individual type, but a subtype for certain dark/normal/ground pokemon
>single and dual type pokemon that fall into this category can add this typing under certain conditions
>at night potential lunar types can transform freely
>some potential lunar types will learn the move Wax by level
>Wax simulates the phases of the moon turn by turn and allows lunar types to transform during the day
>Wax lasts 2 turns coinciding with weather, starting at crescent, up to full and its power fades each subsequent turn as the moon wanes
>dual types drop their related typing for lunar (so murkrow for example would become lunar/flying)
>instead of receiving STAB lunar typing boosts the power of all special moves by 50% but removes all STAB and item bonuses to damage
