How to get Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings Necrozma with Fusion in Pokémon Go (2024)

Fusion allows you to transform Necrozma into one of two forms in Pokémon Go.

Debuting in Go Fest 2024, Necrozma can become Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma by combining with Solgaleo and Lunala respectively.

These forms also come with exclusive Adventure Effects, making them useful additions to your Pokémon collection.

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.

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

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?

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?

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.

On day two of Go Fest Global 2024, there’s a free quest for all players — “The Dawn of a New Discovery” for Cosmog — which then sees paid ticket holders unlock “The Dusk Settles” for Solgaleo or Lunala.
