Pokémon GO has introduced an exciting new feature: Pokémon fusion! This feature, first appearing with the legendary Pokémon Necrozma, allows trainers to fuse Necrozma with either Solgaleo or Lunala to create powerful new forms: Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma. To achieve this fusion, trainers need specific resources, including Solar Fusion Energy and Lunar Fusion Energy. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to obtain these energies and get started with Pokémon fusion.
Pokémon fusion is a mechanic that combines two Pokémon to form a more powerful version with enhanced stats and unique moves. For Necrozma, this means fusing with Solgaleo to form Dusk Mane Necrozma or with Lunala to form Dawn Wings Necrozma. These fusion forms are not just visually distinct but also come with unique abilities and movesets, making them highly desirable for trainers.
Obtaining Necrozma
To begin the fusion process, you first need to catch Necrozma. During Pokémon GO Fest 2024, Necrozma will be available in five-star raids. Participating in these raids and successfully defeating Necrozma will give you the chance to catch it. If you’re lucky, you might even encounter a shiny Necrozma, which can be fused into shiny versions of its fusion forms.
Gathering Fusion Energy
Fusion Energy is crucial for creating Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma. Here’s how to gather the necessary energy:
- Solar Fusion Energy: This is needed to fuse Necrozma with Solgaleo to create Dusk Mane Necrozma. You can earn Solar Fusion Energy by participating in special raids against Dusk Mane Necrozma during Pokémon GO Fest 2024 events. Completing specific ticketed Special Research tasks during the event can also grant Solar Fusion Energy.
- Lunar Fusion Energy: Similarly, Lunar Fusion Energy is required to fuse Necrozma with Lunala to form Dawn Wings Necrozma. This energy can be obtained by defeating Dawn Wings Necrozma in raids and through ticketed Special Research tasks.
- Event Participation: During the Pokémon GO Fest 2024 in cities like Sendai, Madrid, and New York City, ticket-holding trainers can participate in exclusive Special Research that rewards either Solar Fusion Energy or Lunar Fusion Energy. Additionally, the global event will offer opportunities to earn these energies through raids and research tasks.
Required Resources
To complete the fusion, you will need the following resources for each form:
- Dusk Mane Necrozma: 30 Cosmog Candy, 30 Necrozma Candy, and 1000 Solar Fusion Energy.
- Dawn Wings Necrozma: 30 Cosmog Candy, 30 Necrozma Candy, and 1000 Lunar Fusion Energy.
Special Research Tasks
Special Research tasks are a key part of obtaining Fusion Energy. These tasks are available during Pokémon GO Fest 2024 and can be accessed by purchasing an event ticket. These tasks will guide you through a story and eventually reward you with the necessary Fusion Energy to fuse Necrozma. Keep an eye on in-game announcements and participate in events to ensure you don’t miss out on these opportunities.
Fusion Mechanics
Once you have gathered all the necessary resources, you can fuse Necrozma with either Solgaleo or Lunala. The fusion process is straightforward and can be done within the game interface. Here are some important points to note:
- Fused Necrozma retains its IVs and shiny status from its base form.
- The process of fusion is semi-permanent but can be undone without losing any resources, allowing you to re-fuse Necrozma as needed.
- The unique moves of Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma are Sunsteel Strike and Moongeist Beam, respectively, making them formidable in battles.
Fusing Necrozma in Pokémon GO is an exciting way to enhance your collection and gain powerful new Pokémon forms. By participating in Pokémon GO Fest 2024, completing Special Research tasks, and defeating specific raid bosses, you can gather the necessary Fusion Energy and resources to create Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma. Stay updated with in-game announcements to make the most of these limited-time events and add these incredible Pokémon to your team.
