How to get it
- Defeat Dusk Mane Necrozma in raids when it is available.
- Selected event research may award the matching energy. It cannot be substituted with another Fusion Energy.
How to use it
- Have both eligible Pokémon available, open Necrozma, and select the matching fusion.
- The fused form persists until you separate it; separation returns the two Pokémon.
Worth knowing
Fusion grants Sunsteel Strike.
Separating is free, but fusing again costs energy and Candy again. Unlike Mega or Primal energy, Fusion Energy is not earned by ordinary buddy walking.
Choose the primary Pokémon before paying the fusion cost
Dusk Mane Necrozma uses the primary Pokémon’s IVs. In this fusion that is Necrozma; a better appraisal on the partner Solgaleo does not replace the primary Pokémon’s stats.
Power-ups applied while fused belong to Necrozma when the pair is separated. Do not budget as though one fused power-up develops both Pokémon.
Separation has no energy fee, but another fusion requires the fusion resources again. Two separate fusion operations therefore consume 2,000 energy in total, even if you reuse the same Pokémon. This differs from Crowned forms, which have their own rules for later changes.
