Welp…at first I thought it was ridiculous that these two new Pokegods…

were weak to basically…light and darkness (Fire and Dark) the things their two respective symbols create.

Then my friend pointed something out,
The Sun is a Star…
As a star get’s hotter and hotter, it’s core is getting more dense, getting closer to the end of the star’s life.

In Myths and Legends, the Moon gives off it’s most power when it is full, when covered by darkness to create Halves and Quarters, it’s weaker….

This was the most CLEVER move Nintendo delivered.

gonna be honest, I think Solgaleo is based off the Leo zodiac. Several reasons:

1. The planetary sign for those born under the Leo constellation is The Sun (for those who aren’t too deep into Zodiac, each zodiac is ruled by a planet ex: Leo is the sun, Aries is Mars, etc) 

2. the symbol animal for those born under Leo is the Lion

3. it has Leo in the name (yeah kinda obvious huh? lol)
