GO Hub Guide to Fusions in Pokémon GO
July 13, 2024
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.
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 seems that the newly discovered Solar Fusion Energy and Lunar Fusion Energy are key to taking advantage of fusion.
Fusing Necrozma with Solgaleo and Lunala
With enough Fusion Energy, Necrozma can be fused with either Solgaleo to become Dusk Mane Necrozma or Lunala to become Dawn Wings Necrozma.
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 a Necrozma, and a Solgaleo, or a Lunala in your Pokémon storage.
- Trainers can fuse Necrozma and Solgaleo using 1,000 Solar Fusion Energy, 30 Necrozma Candy, and 30 Cosmog Candy for a Dusk Mane Necrozma.
- Trainers can fuse Necrozma and Lunala using 1,000 Lunar Fusion Energy, 30 Necrozma Candy, and 30 Cosmog Candy for a Dawn Wings Necrozma.
Looking at the Necrozma Pokémon page, if you have the correct resources, you will be able to fuse your Necrozma. This will look like the image above.
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 again.
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.
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).
Some quick tips:
- 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.
- We do not currently know how much fusion energy you can earn per raid.
- Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings Necrozma raids can be completed remotely.
These fused Pokémon have featured attacks!
Dusk Mane Necrozma
Necrozma fused with Solgaleo into Dusk Mane Necrozma will know the Charged Attack Sunsteel Strike.
Sunsteel Strike Steel
- Trainer Battles: 135 power
- Gyms and raids: 230 power
Dawn Wings Necrozma
Necrozma fused with Lunala into Dawn Wings Necrozma will know the Charged Attack Moongeist Beam.
Moongeist Beam Ghost
- Trainer Battles: 135 power
- Gyms and raids: 230 power
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.
- 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)
- When Necrozma is fused, it keeps all the characteristics, including IVs, from the Necrozma, rather than pooling with Solgaleo/Lunala, so you’ll need to get everything you want on Necrozma (best buddy, level, lucky status, special background, shiny). Solgaleo/Lunala won’t have any bearing on Necrozma’s stats when fused.
- Same thing applies for Shiny status – shiny Necrozma will result in shiny Dawn Wings and Dusk Mane Necrozma.
- Fused Necrozma forms take up 1 slot for Necrozma & 1 slot for Solgaleo/Lunala, in total 2 Pokémon storage slots.
- 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.
