Necrozma's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Necrozma PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

The Legendary Necrozma is a pure Psychic-type Pokémon with good overall stats but a tedious moveset because of Future Sight. 👁️

That doesn't mean it's bad! It can still be of good service in Raids, but keep in mind that there are far stronger options in this typing.

⚔️ Raids

A decent Psychic-type attacker with more bulk than the usual Psychic Pokémon Raid counters. 🙌

🛡️ Gyms

Legendaries cannot be put in Gyms.

Necrozma PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Aside from good stats, what makes Necrozma worth consideration is its diverse moveset. 🧰

Shadow Claw is one of the best Fast moves in PvP, regardless of STAB. Future Sight is a nuke when shields are down, while Dark Pulse throws Ghost Pokémon off-guard. 💪

If you want something cheaper than Future Sight, go for Outrage to address Dragon types in PvP. 🐲

All in all, it's an average pick that can dent holes in the opposition’s armor without necessarily getting direct wins. ‼️

🔵 Great League

Not eligible for the Great League.

🟡 Ultra League

It's a good support Pokémon that can lower the opponent’s HP, allowing you to switch out and bring in something to seal the KO and possibly repeat the strategy. That said, Cresselia is the superior Psychic Pokémon in this meta. If you have Cresselia, you don’t need to use Necrozma. 🙃

🟣 Master League

Necrozma is unleashed in the Master League, where it takes full advantage of Shadow Claw with Dark Pulse and Future Sight to successfully counter several threats. 😁 These include strong Fairies like Zacian Hero, Togekiss, Primarina, and Xerneas, as well as Steel types like Metagross and Melmetal, and even Kyogre. 😮

The only issue is that its fusions (Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings forms) are the most OP Pokémon in the Master League, making it tempting to choose them over base Necrozma. 🫠
