The fact it learns Moonlight instead of Synthesis by level up also hints a lot at how it has a witchcraft related origin too, some Wicca but witchcraft rituals are dne at full moon and such.
Also a reason Vileplume is used in Karen's team which is obviously based on the witchcraft theme, she's like a some sort of femme fatale witch that uses a crow, black cat, spirit, hellhound and madragora (tfw some folk stories say you require a dog sacrifice in order to collect a mandragora). Also third E4 in order like Agatha that had a horror and detective like team theme based on classics literature and generic spooky stories about haunted places.
Moonblast is just a Moonlight sequel.
