It's also lampshaded that Sakura's power is neither that of the sun nor the moon, "but your own mere power of the stars." Eriol's replacement familiars, Spinel Sun and Ruby Moon, have the same degree of contrast in their personalities but running in the opposite direction. Kero and Yue have strongly contrasting personalities and powers, befitting this split - Kero is both figuratively and literally firey, and Yue can be cold and distant. Cardcaptor Sakura has the eponymous cards each being of solar or lunar aspect, and ruled by either Cerberus ( Kero) for the sun or Yue for the moon.(It might also have something to do with certain other twenty-eight-day cycles.) In fantasy fiction, this duality is often manifested in a contrast between a solar God of Light and a God of the Moon. According to Wikipedia, it is somewhat more common to view the sun as male and the moon as female due to the prevalence of that portrayal in Greek and Roman religion. In historical religions, the sexes associated with the sun and moon vary greatly, and in some cases, both a male and female deity may be ascribed to a single celestial body. For example, the pairing could be a masculine and harsh sun paired with a feminine and soft moon. The sun and moon have also been personified by having both of them be a specific sex. See Night and Day Duo or Male Sun, Female Moon if this contrast is evident in a pairing of characters. Given that the sun is a fiery ball of energy and the moon is responsible for the tides, this trope can also lend itself to Fire/Water Juxtaposition.
Light/Darkness Juxtaposition can apply when the moon is associated with darkness and the sun with light. Compare Red Oni, Blue Oni and Elemental Powers.
The contrast between the two is a common Cosmic Motif (and color motif, particularly yellow and purple, if not outright black and white). The moon does give light in the darkness, and just because it's less constant and more mysterious doesn't make it bad. Can also go in line with Light Is Not Good, although it can go with Dark Is Not Evil when dealing with characters like Friendly Neighborhood Vampires. Lycanthropes, the most famous example, are depicted as having their transformations trigger when the moon is full. On the other end of the spectrum, the moon also has connotations of light, but it's been associated with The Undead and other supernatural creatures. This can get even worse with monsters and antagonists that are either made of those elements and/or are able to utilize them without any ill-effect to their being. If associated with malevolence, can go in line with Light Is Not Good-imagine sunburns, imagine merciless UV rays scorching everything they touch. Undead or demonic creatures have been depicted as being vulnerable to it, likely to its associations with light and fire. If both Pokemon in the battle use one of these types of moves during the same turn, the Speed Stat will determine who strikes first.Due to its nature as an object that provides warmth and light, the sun has played symbolic and important roles throughout the history of fiction. Likewise, attacks like Avalanche may strike last every time. Make Note: Some Attacks - like Quick Attack - will strike first even if a Pokemon has a lower Speed Stat than the opponent. This may not be a huge deal in Single Battles, but if it's three on three, one of the Pokemon will attack sixth! Since Pokemon Battles are turn based, Speed determines if your Pokemon will attack first or last. Speed is the Base Stat that determines the place a Pokemon will strike in Battle. Special Defense is the Base Stat that determines how much damage a Pokemon can resist from Special Attacks. Attacks like Flamethrower will rely on the Special Attack Stat for the damage it deals. Special Attack is the Base Stat that determines the special power of your Pokemon. Attacks like Body Slam will rely on the Attack Stat for the damage it deals.ĭefense is the Base Stat that determines how much damage a Pokemon can resist from Physical Attacks.
