Necrozma<sup>(JPJapanese: ネクロズマ

Romaji: Necrozma)</sup> is a Psychic Legendary Pokémon Pokémon for Pokémon Sun and Moon. Its base form was revealed in the last Sun and Moon update before the game's launch though no name was given. Necrozma would later play a larger role and its other forms were introduced in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Its Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings forms are mascot legendaries in the game keeping the same typings as Solgaleo (Psychic/Steel) and Lunala (Psychic/Ghost) (those forms require N-Solarizer/N-Lunarizer), while its Ultra form, Psychic/Dragon type, when either Dusk Mane Necrozma or Dawn Wings Necrozma uses Ultra Burst via Ultranecrozium Z.

Behavior and Physiology

In its default form which is pure Psychic, 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. In Ultra Megalopolis, it is known as the Blinding One (Japanese: かがやきさま Radiant One). It once had the ability to give light, but lost this ability after being injured by ancestors of the Ultra Recon Squad in an attempt to steal its light; Professor Kukui and Lillie theorize that the Sparkling Stones used to perform Z-Moves are fragments of Necrozma's body that it lost upon this injury. 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 Totem Pokémon. This energy is consumed by other Pokémon such as Ultra Beasts. Necrozma displays extremely violent behavior due to the constant, maddening pain it suffers in its incomplete state, as it searches for the light it requires to sustain itself and regain its original form, going so far as to steal light from other beings and places. This behavior caused it to be feared as a "pillager of light" in ancient Alola. When Necrozma absorbs light from a world, that world becomes shrouded in darkness until the stolen light is returned.

Necrozma can take control of Solgaleo or Lunala by fusing with them, dominating their bodies and minds to assume its Dusk Mane Necrozma or Dawn Wings Necrozma forms, respectively. Because Necrozma is forcibly absorbing the limitless energy produced by their light, Solgaleo and Lunala are constantly glowing while fused. In both cases, the host's body is covered in parts of Necrozma's body, which is arranged like armor. When fused to either Solgaleo or Lunala, it becomes even more vicious to the point of going on an uncontrollable rampage. As a result, it brutally attacks anything it sees as a foe with either its claws or its lasers, which can cut through anything. As seen in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Necrozma is able to fuse with Solgaleo and Lunala without the need for N-Solarizer or N-Lunarizer.

Dusk Mane Necrozma

Dusk Mane Necrozma is Psychic/Steel, it 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.

Dawn Wings Necrozma

Dawn Wings Necrozma is Psychic/Ghost, 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.

Ultra Necrozma

Once it absorbs enough light and Z-Power, Necrozma can undergo a process called Ultra Burst to reclaim its true form: Ultra Necrozma which is Psychic/Dragon, a colossal dragon of pure light energy. Its size makes it the tallest Psychic-type. The various pieces of Necrozma's crystalline body are rearranged as a sort of "skeleton" for the rest of Ultra Necrozma's body. These pieces take on a golden glow from the light but return to black without it. 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 their 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. As seen in both the anime and climax of Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Ultra Necrozma can use Ultra Burst without the Ultranecrozium Z and/or fusion to regain its true form.

Necromza is at its full power when in the Ultra form. Ultra Necrozma's 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 its path.

Appearances

Necrozma can be encountered at Ten Carat Hill in the post game after catching all the Ultra Beasts in Pokémon Sun and Moon.

In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Necrozma played a central role and serving as the game mascot of these games. It used to be a powerful, benevolent deity before losing its power and form, now acting as a parasite, stealing light from other worlds and creatures to try and become complete again.

Super Smash Bros.

Necrozma also appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a Spirit.

In the anime

Necrozma in the anime

Despite Necrozma is not an Ultra Beast like Solgaleo and Lunala, the anime called Necrozma as UB: Black by the Aether Foundation, mistaking Necrozma for an Ultra Beast.

Necrozma appeared in Pokémon Evolutions, Necrozma battled Lunala and later fusing it to become Dawn Wings Necrozma.

Origin

Necrozma in its base form could be based on the concept of prisms and light refraction. It may also incorporate similarities, both literal and symbolic, to black dwarfs, black holes, or neutron stars. Its Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings forms may be based on the concept of solar and lunar eclipses, respectively. Its Ultra Necrozma form may be based on giant stars or supernovae. Its Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings forms retain Solgaleo's lion and Lunala's bat bases, respectively, while Ultra Necrozma resembles a four-winged wyvern. The fact that Necrozma transforms into a Dragon-type could be based on legends about the Moʻo.
