Unleash the power of fusion in Pokémon GO and discover how to obtain the legendary Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings Necrozma! These awe-inspiring forms emerge when you fuse Necrozma with Solgaleo or Lunala, using rare Solar and Lunar Fusion Energy. Join the exclusive Raid Days, gather your Fusion Energy and candies, and transform your Pokémon collection with these dazzling, mega-powerful forms that redefine battle strategy and rarity in the game.
Here’s the Fusion requirements, how their Adventure Effects work, and everything else you need to know about Necrozma’s alternative forms in Pokémon Go.
How to get Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma in Pokémon Go
To get Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma in Pokémon Go, you need to fuse Necrozma with Solgaleo and Lunala, respectively. This fusion requires 1,000 Solar Fusion Energy for Dusk Mane Necrozma or 1,000 Lunar Fusion Energy for Dawn Wings Necrozma, along with 30 Necrozma Candy and 30 Cosmog Candy. Fusion Energy can be earned by defeating Dusk Mane Necrozma or Dawn Wings Necrozma in special Raid Battles, such as those featured during Pokémon GO Fest 2024 and other related events. Once fused, the Necrozma forms remain until separated, which costs no additional resources.
Transforming Necrozma into either its Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings form requires them to undergo a process known as Fusion, where they will be combined with fellow Gen 7 Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo or Lunala.
- To get Dusk Mane Necrozma in Pokémon Go, you must fuse Necrozma with Solgaleo using 1,000 Solar Fusion Energy
- To get Dawn Wings Necrozma, in Pokémon Go, you must use Necrozma with Lunala using 1,000 Lunar Fusion Energy
As well as the above, the Fusion process also requires 30 Necrozma Candy and 30 Cosmog Candy. From there, the Solgaleo or Lunala used to fuse with Necrozma will be temporarily unavailable.
For those with a Go Fest Global ticket, know that by completing Sunday’s “The Dusk Settles”, you will be rewarded either Solgaleo or Lunala, and enough Fusion Energy to earn Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings. (If you don’t have the quest, make sure you have completed “The Dawn of a New Discovery” first, which will also grant you a Cosmog.)
Whether you have a paid ticket or not, on the Sunday, you’ll need to jump into raids against Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings with strong Necrozma counters if you want both forms in your collection.
Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma Adventure Effects, explained
Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma each have unique Adventure Effects in Pokémon Go that activate through their signature Charged Attacks, Sunsteel Strike and Moongeist Beam respectively. When you activate Dusk Mane Necrozma’s Sunsteel Strike Adventure Effect using 3,000 Stardust and 3 Necrozma Candy, it creates a sunlight-like effect for 10 minutes that attracts daytime Pokémon to your location and allows the evolution of Pokémon that normally require daytime conditions, regardless of the actual time. This effect can be extended up to 24 hours with additional resources but cannot be combined with other Incense or Adventure Effects. Similarly, Dawn Wings Necrozma’s Moongeist Beam triggers a nighttime effect that attracts nocturnal Pokémon and influences evolutions tied to night. These Adventure Effects enhance gameplay by altering spawn conditions and evolution possibilities, making them valuable tools for trainers exploring Pokémon Go.
As well as fleshing out your Pokémon collection, a perk for acquiring Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma is they come with a unique Adventure Effect. These are Charged moves that can be used outside of battle to give you temporary bonuses.
These Adventure Effect moves will be acquired automatically as part of the Fusion process. This is different to how acquiring Adventure Effect moves for Origin Forme Dialga and Origin Forme Palkia worked, which were only available by catching a version with that move in a raid (in other words, by chance).
The Adventure Effects for Necrozma’s two forms are as follows:
- Dusk Mane Necrozma learns Sunsteel Strike, which attracts Pokémon that appear in the day, and allows you to evolve Pokémon with daytime requirements
- Dawn Wings Necrozma learns Moongeist Beam, which attracts Pokémon that appear at night, and allows you to evolve Pokémon with night time requirements
When active, these Adventure Effects last for 10 minutes, and cost 3,000 Stardust and 3 Necrozma Candy per use. You can be extend their durations by spending more of the respective currencies for a further two hours at a time, up to 24 hours.
Can you unfuse Necrozma with Solgaleo or Lunala?
You can unfuse Necrozma from Solgaleo or Lunala at any time without any cost of Fusion Energy or Pokémon Candy. When separated, Necrozma retains any power-ups or levels gained while fused, while Solgaleo or Lunala remain unchanged from their previous state. The fused form remains until you choose to separate them, allowing you to switch back and forth between Necrozma’s regular form and its fused variants, Dusk Mane Necrozma or Dawn Wings Necrozma, as desired.
Yes, it is possible to reverse the Fusion process to turn Dusk Mane Necrozma back into Necrozma and Solgaelo, or Dawn Wings Necrozma into Necrozma and Lunala.
This process is free – but know you will have to spend the Energy and Candy costs again if you change you mind and want to refuse them.
What else do we know about Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings Fusion in Pokémon Go?
Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings Necrozma are unique Pokémon forms introduced in Pokémon GO through a fusion mechanic that combines Necrozma with either Solgaleo or Lunala, respectively. This fusion requires 1,000 Solar or Lunar Fusion Energy, 30 Necrozma Candy, and 30 Cosmog Candy. The fused forms retain their appearance and stats until the Trainer chooses to separate them, which costs no additional resources. Fusion Energy, a rare resource, can be earned by defeating these fused Necrozma forms in raids or completing special research tasks, particularly during Pokémon GO Fest events. These forms bring new Adventure Effects and powerful moves-Sunsteel Strike for Dusk Mane and Moongeist Beam for Dawn Wings-making them valuable additions for both PvP and PvE gameplay. Notably, these fused Pokémon cannot be traded or transferred to Pokémon HOME, emphasizing their unique status in the game.
As well as the above explainers, here’s some extra details and notes worth taking into account about the process:
- Dusk Mane Necrozma or Dawn Wings Necrozma cannot be traded with other players, or transferred to Pokémon Home. In other words, they are staying in your Pokémon Go account.
- For those looking to use Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings forms in battle, know it will take the base stats from the Necrozma you use, and does not take into account anything from Solgaleo or Lunala.
- Similarly, if you have a shiny Necrozma, then the Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings resulting from the Fusion will also be shiny. You can see a preview thanks to GabeBit08 on The Silph Road subreddit.
- If you wanted to know how Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings fare in Go Battle League / PvP, analysis by JRE47 on The Silph Road subreddit suggest both are big improvements over a base Necrozma, Solgaleo, or Lunala.
- As with other Adventure Effects, Sunsteel Strike or Moongeist Beam be used at the same time as regular Incense, Daily Adventure Incense, Meltan’s Mystery Box, or Gimmighoul’s Coin Bag. They can, however, be used alongside Mega Evolution or Primal Reversion.

How can I efficiently gather Fusion Energy during the Raid Day
To efficiently gather Fusion Energy during Necrozma Raid Day in Pokémon GO, focus on participating in as many Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings Necrozma raids as possible, since defeating these raid bosses rewards Solar and Lunar Fusion Energy respectively. Maximize your Fusion Energy gains by raiding with friends or local groups to speed up battles and increase rewards. Using tools like PoGoSkill’s virtual location changer can help you quickly move between raid locations and join active raid groups, boosting your raid participation and Fusion Energy collection. Additionally, maintaining high friendship levels with raid partners and controlling gyms can further increase the amount of Fusion Energy earned per raid. Prioritize saving raid passes and energy for these events and consider coordinating with other trainers to optimize your raid schedule for maximum Fusion Energy gain.
What are the best raid bosses to farm Fusion Energy quickly
The best raid bosses to farm Fusion Energy quickly in Pokémon GO are the specific Necrozma forms involved in fusion: Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma. Defeating Dusk Mane Necrozma raids rewards Solar Fusion Energy, while Dawn Wings Necrozma raids grant Lunar Fusion Energy. Participating in these raids during their respective Raid Days maximizes your Fusion Energy gains. Additionally, raid rewards can be influenced by factors such as raid speed, friendship level, and gym control, which can increase the amount of Fusion Energy earned per raid to roughly between 100 and 170 units. Teaming up with other trainers to efficiently complete these raids is key to farming Fusion Energy quickly.
