Since their introduction at Pokémon GO Fest 2024, Dawn Wings Necrozma and Dusk Mane Necrozma have proven to be formidable contenders in both raid battles and the GO Battle League’s Master League. Trainers will have another opportunity to add these powerful Pokémon to their rosters during the upcoming Pokémon GO Necrozma Fusion Raid Day, scheduled for December 14, 2024, from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. local time. This event promises to be a great chance to earn Necrozma Candy, and trainers will have a higher probability of encountering Shiny Necrozma in raids—making it a potentially rewarding day for many players.
To facilitate more participation, trainers can earn up to five additional free Raid Passes by spinning Gym Photo Discs, allowing for a maximum of seven free passes each day. Furthermore, between December 13 at 5:00 p.m. and December 14 at 8:00 p.m. PST, the limit for Remote Raid Passes will increase to 20.
Trainers looking to maximize their experience on Fusion Raid Day can purchase an event ticket for $5.00 (or the equivalent in local currency), available in the in-game shop until December 14 at 5:00 p.m. local time. An event ticket comes with several advantages, including:
– Eight extra Raid Passes from Gym Photo Discs for a total of 15
– Enhanced chances of acquiring Rare Candy XL from Raid Battles
– A 50% increase in XP from Raid Battles
– Double Stardust from Raid Battles
After defeating either Dawn Wings Necrozma or Dusk Mane Necrozma, players will need to catch Necrozma, which can then be fused with Solgaleo or Lunala using 30 Necrozma Candy, 30 Cosmog Candy, and 1,000 Solar Fusion Energy or Lunar Fusion Energy. Defeating the respective Necrozma variants in raids will grant these Fusion Energies, along with Necrozma Candy itself.
Both fused forms, Dusk Mane Necrozma (Psychic/Steel) and Dawn Wings Necrozma (Psychic/Ghost), come with unique abilities that can attract specific Pokémon types depending on the time of day. Each can activate Adventure Effects with 3,000 Stardust and three Necrozma Candy, helping trainers catch rare Pokémon and benefiting from unique evolutions.
Dusk Mane Necrozma is one of the top Steel-type attackers in Pokémon GO, and its distinctive attack, Sunsteel Strike, sets it apart. Similarly, Dawn Wings Necrozma stands as the strongest Ghost-type attacker in the game, making both Pokémon exceptional choices for raids and the Master League.
For trainers keen to elevate their success during the Necrozma Fusion Raid Day, strategy guides for both Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings Necrozma will be available, providing tips on optimal team compositions and post-battle catching strategies.
Happy raiding to all trainers! Enjoy the thrill of the battle and the chance to enhance your Pokémon lineup!
This event marks an exciting opportunity to not only strengthen your roster but also participate in a vibrant community, showcasing the enjoyment and collaboration inherent in Pokémon GO.
