Pokemon Go Fest 2024 Necrozma & Fusions debut

Niantic have also revealed that Necrozma is coming to Pokemon Go Fest 2024 to introduce Fusions to the game. The Legendary from Pokemon Sun & Moon will make its way into the mobile game with the event, and players will also be able to get Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma.

Fusions will allow trainers to fuse Necrozma with Solgaleo or Lunala to get these forms by spending Fusion Energy. During the event, players will be able to get Dusk Mane Necrozma using 1,000 Solar Fusion Energy, 30 Necrozma Candy, and 30 Cosmog Candy to fuse Necrozma and Solgaleo. To get Dawn Wings Necrozma, trainers will need 1,000 Lunar Fusion Energy instead.

What’s more, the official blog post revealed “Fused Necrozma will remain in this form until their Trainer separates them. Separating will not cost any Fusion Energy or Pokémon Candy.”

Pokemon Go players that attend in-person events will get a Special Research to gather Fusion Energy. After that, the only way to get it will be by defeating Dusk Mane Necrozma or Dawn Wings Necrozma in Raids or by purchasing a premium Research.

It’s likely players will have to choose between one of the two Fusions to face in Raids during the event. We’ll keep you updated with the latest news regarding Necrozma and Fusions.
