#800 Necrozma

“Necrozma (Japanese: ネクロズマ Necrozma) is a Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, Necrozma has the following three forms:

Necrozma is the game mascot of both Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, appearing on their boxarts as Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma, respectively. Necrozma, Solgaleo, and Lunala are often collectively referred to as the light trio by fans. It is associated with the guardian deities. It is related to the Ultra Beasts, but its grouping with them is however unconfirmed.

Necrozma is a vaguely humanoid Pokémon whose body appears to be constructed out of a black crystalline material. The black color is a result of impurities building up within it as a result of its deep slumber. The large protrusion attached to its head is its tail, which has a row of three large spikes along the top and is white in the back with a dark gray symbol resembling a star in the center. Its face is actually a prism-like object known as the brain prism, which possesses a collection of multicolored shapes that resemble eyes. While absorbing light, this brain prism glows white. Its thin arms have disproportionately large hands with three claws. Jutting out of the back of each hand is a whitish crystal that darkens toward the tip, and each elbow has a hook-like spike. Two large spikes jut from each shoulder and there is a row of smaller spikes along each side of its body. Its feet have three hook-like toes each.

Necrozma originates from Ultra Space and is capable of opening and traveling through Ultra Wormholes. This causes many to believe Necrozma is one of the Ultra Beast, however, different accounts refer to Necrozma as a “reminiscent of the Ultra Beasts” and “a creature almost like an Ultra Beast”. It once had the ability to give light in its original form, but lost this ability along its true form after being heavily injured by the Ultra Recon Squad‘s ancestors in an attempt to steal its light; Professor Kukui and Lillie theorize that the Sparkling Stones and the Z-Crystals used to perform Z-Moves are fragments of Necrozma’s body that it lost upon being injured and rained down into Alola. According to the Ultra Recon Squad, the light that radiates from Necrozma is the aura that surrounds the Trainer and Pokémon while performing a Z-Move and the aura surrounding a Totem Pokémon. This energy is consumed by Pokémon such as the Ultra Beasts and radiated by Pokémon such as Solgaleo and Lunala.

Necrozma displays extremely violent behavior due to the constant, maddening pain it suffers in its incomplete state. Desperate for the light it requires to sustain itself and regain its original form, Necrozma steals light from other beings and places. This behavior caused it to be feared as and known as a “pillager of light” in ancient times. Necrozma can shoot powerful lasers using the power of a prism. It can also attack its foes with a large pillar of light. When Necrozma absorbs light from a world, that world becomes shrouded in darkness until the stolen light is returned as seen temporarily in Alola and in Ultra Megalopolis. Necrozma loves Necrozma Treats made by Snacksworth, who once encountered and roared loudly to intimidate it in the past.

Necrozma is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the moves Prismatic Laser and Photon Geyser. It is also the only known Pokémon that can have Prism Armor as an Ability.

Necrozma has three additional forms: Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Ultra Necrozma.

Necrozma can take control of Solgaleo or Lunala by fusing with them, dominating their bodies and eclipsing their minds to assume its Dusk Mane Necrozma or Dawn Wings Necrozma forms, respectively. However, Necrozma is also able to coexist with its host willingly, regardless of fusion. Because Necrozma is forcibly absorbing their limitless light energy, Solgaleo and Lunala constantly glow while fused like in their Radiant Sun and Full Moon Phases. In both cases, the host’s body is covered in pieces of Necrozma’s body, which are arranged like armor, and Necrozma wields powers that exceed its respective host; it’s powerful enough to open multiple Ultra Wormholes at once across a large area. When fused to either Solgaleo or Lunala, Necrozma becomes uncontrollably vicious and constantly rampages, treating anything it sees as an enemy and brutally attacking them with either its claws or its lasers, which can cut through anything. Necrozma is capable of fusing with Solgaleo and Lunala without the need for N-Solarizer or N-Lunarizer, supposedly due to both Legendaries radiating the same aura it feeds on.

Dusk Mane Necrozma resembles an armored Solgaleo with Necrozma as body armor. Dusk Mane Necrozma has armor around its paws, head, and sides. Necrozma’s tail splits into two and attaches to the sides of Solgaleo’s torso and its large claws extend from Solgaleo’s back. The front feet have five black claws attached to them with two V-shaped crystals on top of it while the back foot has only three claws. It has a triangular helmet with a long, thin antenna on each side and Necrozma’s brain prism is prominently displayed. Solgaleo’s own eyes and nose are visible as bright, blue lights. The host’s tail gains three black spikes attached to each other, as well as three spikes under the chin. A structure similar to one of Necrozma’s legs extends from its back. Using the armor on its chest, it is able to propel itself by shooting black light.

Dusk Mane Necrozma and Solgaleo are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Sunsteel Strike. They are also the only known Pokémon capable of using the Z-Move Searing Sunraze Smash.

Dawn Wings Necrozma resembles an armored Lunala with Necrozma as body armor. Dawn Wings Necrozma has armor around its torso, head, and certain parts of its wings and tail. It also has a triangular helmet with the brain prism visible, as well as Lunala’s own eyes visible as glowing pink lights. Necrozma’s arms extend from the center of its chest. The armor surrounding its body has two large spikes jutting up from around its shoulders and four, glowing pink lights in the center. On its lower back are two thin, antennae-like growths extending downward. A structure similar to Necrozma’s tail extends from the center of its back, and like its Dusk Mane form, can be used as a form of propulsion. There are eleven crystalline spikes attached around the body, four each on the wings, and three on Lunala’s tail. These spines are capable of firing dark energy.

Dawn Wings Necrozma and Lunala are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Moongeist Beam. They are also the only known Pokémon capable of using the Z-Move Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom.

Necrozma can absorb an overwhelming amount of light energy and Z-Power, which can be obtained by taking control of a Solgaleo or a Lunala, by holding an Ultranecrozium Z or by sucking out the light of a world or of Z-Moves. With enough light and Z-Power absorbed, Necrozma’s body will split apart, its brain prism will explode and its light and pieces will form Necrozma again, transformed into its true, original, Ultra Form.

Ultra Necrozma is a colossal dragon mostly composed of pure light energy that it had stored from a great energy source, such as Solgaleo or Lunala, before its transformation. This body of light is supported by a sort of skeleton made from the various pieces of Necrozma’s crystalline body; these pieces take on a golden glow from the light, but they return to black without it. Its sheer size makes it the tallest known Psychic-type Pokémon. Its head is surrounded by several spikes and a pair of small wings, which causes it to resemble an eight-pointed star; there is also a small, lighter eight-pointed star on the back of its head. Its face is armored and has multicolored heterochromic eyes; the left eye is primarily red, while the right is mainly blue. It has two pairs of wings: one around its shoulders and one around its hips. While the wings themselves are made of light, the arm portions are made of its former legs and shoulders, respectively. Its former arms now cover its lower legs, and what was once its tail covers its chest. Finally, it has a long tail with a row of spikes along the top.

Necrozma is at its full power in this form, radiating energy that has all sorts of effects on living beings and even nature itself. Its body temperature exceeds 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (5,540 degrees Celsius); anything that it touches will melt from the extreme heat. It can fire laser beams from every part of its body, and these lasers can reach over 18 miles away, burning through everything in their path. While swinging its four wings around, Ultra Necrozma uses its superheated claws to tear its opponents to shreds. In this form, it is known as the “blinding one” due to its brilliant appearance. As seen in The Prism Between Light and Darkness!, when Necrozma uses up all its light, it reverts to its lightless form and enters into a deep slumber unless it absorbs more light.

Ultra Necrozma is the only known Pokémon capable of using the Z-Move Light That Burns the Sky. It is also the only known Pokémon that can have Neuroforce as an Ability.“-Bulbapedia.
