GO Hub Guide to Fusions in Pokémon GO

Trainers, behold the power of Pokémon fusion! Thanks to this wondrous new power, Necrozma, the Prism Pokémon, can take on awesome alternate forms in Pokémon GO! The powerful Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma come into being by fusing Necrozma with the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo, the Sunne Pokémon, or Lunala, the Moone Pokémon, which all Trainers can do for the first time at Pokémon GO Fest 2024: Global.

How to Get the Necrozma Fusions in Pokémon GO

Pokémon fusion is the ability to combine certain Pokémon into a single, more powerful form with an altered appearance. So far, this phenomenon has only been observed and documented with Necrozma, and it utilises Solar Fusion Energy and Lunar Fusion Energy to trigger the fusion.

Fusing Necrozma with Solgaleo and Lunala

Alongside Necrozma, Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings Necrozma can feature in 5-star raid battles, which can be completed remotely. You cannot catch Necrozma in its fused form from Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings Necrozma raids. The raid boss is always catchable in its base form as a normal Necrozma.

To fuse a Necrozma you will need the following:

• Necrozma
• Solgaleo or Lunala (depending on which fusion you are after)
• Corresponding fusion energy – rewarded upon completing a Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings raid.
• 30 Necrozma Candy
• 30 Cosmog Candy

Original Form	Fusion Cost	Fused Form
Necrozma	1000 Lunar Fusion Energy 30 Necrozma Candy 30 Cosmog Candy Lunala	Dawn Wings Necrozma
Necrozma	1000 Solar Fusion Energy 30 Necrozma Candy 30 Cosmog Candy Solgaleo	Dusk Mane Necrozma

Looking at the Necrozma Pokémon page, if you have the correct resources, you will be able to fuse your Necrozma. Fused Necrozma will remain in this form until their Trainer separates them. Separating will not cost any Fusion Energy or Pokémon Candy, but fusing them again will cost the same amount.

The fusion will take on all the stats of the Necrozma, and will not be impacted by the stats of the Solgaleo or Lunala, so we recommend using your bad IV Solgaleo and Lunala for your fusions, with good IV Necrozma.

Due to this, you’ll need to get everything you want on your Necrozma, not your Solgaleo/Lunala. Think best buddy, shiny, lucky status, special background. Solgaleo/Lunala won’t have any bearing on Necrozma’s stats when fused.

Remember, the fused forms cannot be traded, so if you want a lucky you’ll need to trade Necrozmas before fusion.

How to get Solgaleo or Lunala for Fusion

On July 14, there is a free research to get a Cosmog (which you can use it to evolve into Solgaleo/Lunala) and Global Ticket holders will get an extra research to get another Lunala or Solgaleo encounter depending the path they choose.

Once you fuse your Lunala or Solgaleo, you can’t use the Lunala or Solgaleo for anything. They’re greyed out and you will be unable to click on them (Similar to how a shiny looks if you’re trying to trade it but you’ve already reached your max for special trades).

Featured Attacks

These fused Pokémon have featured attacks! These featured attacks are also Adventure Effects.

Things to Note

• You can fuse at anytime to gain the special moves as long you have enough resources to do it. These featured attacks are not only limited to GO Fest Global.
• It is highly likely Necrozma will retain the featured attack if you de-fuse it. However remember, the cost to re-fuse will not be discounted.
• These moved cannot be learnt via Elite TM or Charged TM.
• Sunsteel Strike and Moongeist Beam cannot be active at the same time as another Adventure Effect, an Incense, a Daily Adventure Incense, the Mystery Box, or the Coin Bag.

Fusion Energy

• Re-fusing a Pokémon will be at the same cost as your first fusion. There is no discount like Mega evolutions, so we would recommend being sure you want that specific fusion to keep.
• Currently the only way to get Lunar/Solar Fusion Energy is through GO Fest 2024 special research and Dusk Mane/Dawn Wings raids. You cannot currently walk your buddy for Fusion Energy.
• It looks like the maximum fusion energy per raid is 170. With an average of around 90-110.
• The maximum amount of Fusion energy you can have is 9,999. You can still raid if you have reached the energy limit, but you will not be rewarded energy on raid completion.

Additional Notes about Fused Pokémon

• You cannot leave a fused Pokémon at a gym
• The Pokémon can be powered up after fusion (unlike Mega Pokémon).
• The Pokémon cannot be traded or transferred to Pokémon Home after fusion. To get lucky fused forms you must first obtain a lucky Necrozma, and then fuse it.
• You can have multiple fused forms in your Pokémon Storage at one time. (It works similar to Furfrou trims)
• Fused Necrozma forms take up 1 slot for Necrozma & 1 slot for Solgaleo/Lunala, in total 2 Pokémon storage slots.
• The Solgaleo/Lunala once fused will be greyed out in your storage (like on the trade screen when you hit max. special trades). This means you cannot select them to rename, change tags etc.

• There is no time limit or cooldown on fusion for Necrozma, unlike Mega Evolution, Fusion is permanent, unless you choose to un-fuse. So once you have a Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings Necrozma, it will not revert to the un-fused Pokémon unless you choose to un-fuse it. It is a permanent fusion.
• The defuse button sits front and centre of the page on Dawn Wings and Dusk Mane Necrozma. There is a second prompt to ensure you want to defuse – so you should not be able to defuse them by accident.
• You cannot use both Dawn Wings and Dusk Mane on a Master League team as they are different forms of the same Pokémon (they have the same Pokédex number). This means they do not count as 3 unique Pokémon.
