None.
Special Abilities[]
Eclipo are the cause of solar eclipses. Along with their evolution Eclipser, the can move the moon in front of the sun and earth using psychic powers, which they use to gather their energy and make them stronger.
Behavior[]
Eclipo are calm in nature, and avoid human contact as much as possible. However, if disturbed while gathering their energy during a solar eclipse, Eclipo and Eclipser will relentlessly attack with all the energy they've gathered, which can lead to huge problems and major injuries to whoever disturbed them. Eclipo then will have to regather all energy they've expended, which can sometimes lead to the Eclipo not having enough energy to sustain themselves until the next solar eclipse.
Habitat[]
Eclipo mainly live in caves and other rocky areas that have been left untouched by humans. Eclipo usually only come out of their homes during solar eclipses, where thousands of their kind gather to collect the energy given off by solar eclipses. Wild Eclipo are found in the grass and in the cave in the Fallrock Valley.
Shiny Coloration Differences[]
For Shiny Eclipo, the black turns brown, while the irises turn cyan. The white also gains some light brown saturation.

Eclipo was originally called Staroon, and envisioned as a previous Evolution/ baby form for Lunatone and Solrock.
In the ROM Hacks Pokémon Sirius and Altair, and in Pokémon Vega, Stellith is a baby Lunatone/Solrock; the latter game also has a third possible Evolution: Planite.
Also, Eclipo's old name seems to be related to Cosmoem, as the pokémon is known as "the cocoon of the stars". Both are (part) Psychic-type, as well.
