Necrozma could be based on the concept of {{wp|prism}}s and {{wp|light refraction}}. This may tie to Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon being codenamed “ニジ” (Rainbow) as well as Hawaii (the hypothetical inspiration behind Alola) being referred to as the rainbow state. It may also incorporate similarities, both literal and symbolic, to {{wp|black dwarf}}s, {{wp|black hole}}s, or {{wp|neutron star}}s. This is also indicated by the star symbol on the back of its head. | Necrozma could be based on the concept of {{wp|prism}}s and {{wp|light refraction}}.

This is also indicated by the star symbol on the back of its head. Necrozma conceptually and visually may be inspired by various depictions of aliens across various forms of media. This is indicated by its unusually proportioned limbs, large head (indicating a larger “brain”), and its psychic type which is often associated with intelligence (for aliens are often depicted as more intelligent than humans in science fiction). It also remotely resembles a dragon’-'s skeleton or a fossil as implied by its appearance along with its Pokédex entry mentioning that it was "asleep underground." | ||
Necrozma's Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings forms may be based on the concept of {{wp|Solar eclipse|solar}} and {{wp|lunar eclipse}}s, respectively. The forms' alternate names in Japanese, 日食 ''nisshoku'' (solar eclipse) and 月食 ''gesshoku'' (lunar eclipse) can also be literally translated as "eating the sun/moon", reflecting how Necrozma absorbs Solgaleo or Lunala to assume those forms. Its Ultra Necrozma form may be based on {{wp|giant star}}s or {{wp|supernova}}e. Design-wise, Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma retain Solgaleo's {{wp|lion}} and Lunala's {{wp|bat}} bases, respectively, while Ultra Necrozma resembles a four-winged {{wp|wyvern}}. The fact that Necrozma transforms into a {{type|Dragon}} could be based on legends about the {{wp|Moʻo}}. | Necrozma's Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings forms may be based on the concept of {{wp|Solar eclipse|solar}} and {{wp|lunar eclipse}}s, respectively.
