Pokémon Go Fusion, including how to get Solar and Lunar Fusion Energy explained

Fusion in Pokémon Go allows players to combine two Pokémon to create a unique creature. The two Pokémon involved in this mechanic are Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma, introduced as part of a special event. To utilize the Fusion feature, you will need at least one Necrozma, along with either a Solgaleo or Lunala. Additionally, you will require some specific resources, including a tablespoon of Necrozma Candy, a dash of Cosmog Candy, and either Solar or Lunar Fusion Energy.

Engaging in Fusion is worthwhile because it grants access to powerful moves known as Sunsteel Strike and Moongeist Beam. This guide will provide you with detailed instructions on how to fuse Necrozma, obtain Solar and Lunar Fusion Energy, and separate the fused forms.

How to Fuse Necrozma

To perform a Fusion in Pokémon Go, ensure you have a Necrozma and either Solgaleo or Lunala. It’s advisable to have both legendary Pokémon for versatility. Without at least one Necrozma and either Solgaleo or Lunala, you cannot proceed with the Fusion process.

Before you begin, decide which Fusion you wish to create. Fusing Necrozma with Solgaleo results in Dusk Mane Necrozma, while fusing with Lunala creates Dawn Wings Necrozma. Each of these Fusions possesses distinct types and Adventure Effects—Dusk Mane is Psychic and Steel-type, while Dawn Wings is Psychic and Ghost-type. They automatically learn their respective Adventure Effect attacks upon Fusion.

Here are the requirements for each Fusion:

• Dusk Mane Necrozma: 1,000 Solar Fusion Energy, 30 Necrozma Candy, and 30 Cosmog Candy
• Dawn Wings Necrozma: 1,000 Lunar Fusion Energy, 30 Necrozma Candy, and 30 Cosmog Candy

Necrozma Candy can be acquired by defeating Necrozma in raids, while Cosmog Candy is obtained by defeating either Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings Necrozma in raids. You can also earn additional Candy by using Rare Candy or by having Necrozma or any member of the Cosmog evolution line as your buddy. Keep in mind that to earn Candy through walking with a buddy, you will need to walk 20 km for a single piece of Candy due to their Legendary status.

Importantly, Fusion does not have a time limit, and you can have multiple Fusions of both types active simultaneously. Once you have gathered the necessary Pokémon and resources, follow these steps to conduct a Fusion:

1. Open your Pokémon Storage and select a Necrozma.

2. Navigate to its Summary page and choose the ‘Fuse’ option above ‘Power Up.’

3. Confirm your choice to fuse with either Solgaleo or Lunala.

Upon completion, your Necrozma will transform into the selected Fusion, allowing you to utilize its Adventure Effect and use it in battles.

How to Get Solar Fusion Energy and Lunar Fusion Energy

To conduct a Fusion in Pokémon Go, you will need Solar Fusion Energy for Dusk Mane Necrozma and Lunar Fusion Energy for Dawn Wings Necrozma.

Both types of Fusion Energy can be obtained by defeating specific Pokémon in raids. To gather Solar Fusion Energy, you need to defeat a Dusk Mane Necrozma in a raid, while for Lunar Fusion Energy, you must defeat Dawn Wings Necrozma. These Pokémon are quite powerful, so teaming up with other players or using Remote Raid Passes is recommended.

The amount of Fusion Energy earned from a raid can vary based on several factors, including your speed, Friendship level, and Gym control. Players have reported earning between 100 to 170 Fusion Energy from raids based on these conditions.

For those who participated in specific events, alternative methods to earn Fusion Energy may have been available through special quests or promotional codes released by the game developers.

Featured Attacks for Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma

Both Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma come equipped with unique featured attacks: Sunsteel Strike and Moongeist Beam, respectively. These are Charged Attacks that can be used in battles and also serve as Adventure Effects.

Here’s how much Power each attack has in various battle scenarios:

• Sunsteel Strike (Steel-type Charged Attack) – Dusk Mane Necrozma:
  • Trainer Battles: 135 Power
  • Gyms and Raids: 230 Power
• Moongeist Beam (Ghost-type Charged Attack) – Dawn Wings Necrozma:
  • Trainer Battles: 135 Power
  • Gyms and Raids: 230 Power

How to Separate Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma

Once fused, Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma will remain in their fused state until you decide to separate them. This is beneficial as it saves resources for future Fusions. However, if you wish to revert to their original forms, the process is straightforward.

To separate the fused Pokémon, simply follow these steps:

1. Go to the Summary page of either Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings Necrozma in your Pokémon Storage.

2. Look for the ‘Separate’ button located above the ‘Power Up’ option.

3. Confirm your choice to un-Fuse, and the Pokémon will revert to their original forms.

This feature allows for greater flexibility in utilizing your Pokémon and is user-friendly to encourage experimentation with different Fusion combinations.

With these instructions, you are now equipped to explore the Fusion mechanics in Pokémon Go and make the most of your Pokémon collection!
