You can't say Solgaleo is iron either, because pokemon has elements we don't understand. But in a general sense, the sun should have metals, gasses etc, but you shouldn't select iron from our universe because it's most likely that even if Solgaleo was "iron" the properties of iron in pokemon aren't the same as ours.
I know that's a rather bitch move "stop making things based on irl" but you're better off generalizing.
What I'm trying to convey here though is that the sun is the same thing before and after - except dispersed due to convection and lol general combustion. When a sun dies, a lump of metal isn't just sitting there in its place - it's scattered all over the place like asteroids and shit. So in essence the sun still exists, but in a different form because all those components belonged to the sun anyway? So what does it matter if its residual matter, or if its the original sun as a whole? It doesn't, it's just people keep trying to fit it into the whole forced idea that its the "beast who eats the sun" crap.
Yeah, there are coincidences here, there are metaphorical relations to the idea. But why not just simplify it that -- metal can be forged by the sun, solgaleo can be forged by the sun (and in the image we see the sun - like a lions mane, like the sun we drew in the corner of the page as kids). Like this would be the base of the whole idea, not the "beast who eats the sun", that's just something that can be applied to this process as a metaphor.
