Niantic is rolling out the red carpet for Necrozma at Pokémon Go Fest 2024, bringing the Legendary to the game along with its fusion variants. Though the way you collect them all is a bit different than you might expect.
COMPLETE GUIDE to FUSIONS in Pokemon GO!
Starting at Go Fest 2024: Sendai on May 30, players will be able to encounter Necrozma in special event raids when it makes its debut. Additionally, the ability to fuse your captured Necrozma with Solgaleo or Lunala to obtain Dusk Mane Necrozma or Dawn Wings Necrozma will also be available. This is technically the first time a fusion mechanic like this has been added to Pokémon Go, despite Kyurem's fusions being accidentally pushed live in December, so there will also be a new method to obtain this Pokémon.
To fuse a Necrozma with your Solgaleo or Lunala, you’ll first need to collect 1,000 Solar Fusion Energy or Lunar Fusion Energy, which will pair with 30 Necrozma Candy and 30 Cosmog Candy. These new Energy types work similarly to Mega Energy or Primal Energy, in that they’re only used to fuse Necrozma with other Legendaries, with Niantic billing them as “very rare sources of power.” And the method for obtaining Solar and Lunar Energy will change throughout Go Fest’s summer event schedule.
To start, Solar Fusion Energy and Lunar Fusion Energy will only be available to players who participate in the Go Fest 2024 physical events in Sendai, Madrid, and New York City. There, it will be featured in branching Special Research as a reward. Once we reach Go Fest 2024: Global on July 13-14, Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma will join the five-star raid rotation and award their respective Fusion Energy when defeated.
