Biology

Finneon is a small fishlike Pokémon with an ellipsoid body. The bottom half of its body is light-blue while the top half is black. A purple stripe runs across Finneon's horizontal length. This stripe can store sunlight, which allows Finneon to shine vividly at night. It has small blue pectoral fins, two black oval-shaped dorsal fins, and purple eyes. Finneon's most notable feature is the pair of caudal fins that resemble a pair of blue butterfly wings with purple spots. Because of its wing-like fins, it is known as "The Beautifly of the Sea". The bottom lobes of a female Finneon's tail fin are bigger than a male's. It lives in bodies of water, and it travels in schools, sometimes with Lumineon. Wingull is a natural predator of Finneon.

Trivia

Origin

Finneon's large tail fins are similar to the freshwater butterflyfish, and they also resemble wings of actual butterflies. It also resembles a neon tetra or a cardinal tetra. Its strong leaps from the water's surface is a known behaviour in flying fish - including how they are easily picked off by birds while airborne.

Name origin

Finneon is a combination of fin and neon.

Keikouo is a combination of 蛍光 keikō (fluorescence) and 魚 uo (fish).
