Necrozma (game): Difference between revisions

'''{{p|Necrozma}}''' (Japanese: '''ネクロズマ''' ''Necrozma''), referred by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] as the '''Blinding One''' (Japanese: '''かがやきさま''' ''Radiant One'') and as the '''pillager of light''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|光|ひかり}}の{{ruby|略奪者|りゃくだつしゃ}}''' ''pillager of light'') is a [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] and a major character for in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. Known  in mythology, it serves as one of the main threats in the game, looking to take the light of the [[Alola]] [[region]].

In Alola's ancient history, Necrozma was once viewed as the "Blinding One" (Japanese: かがやきさま ''Radiant One'') whose light was scattered across [[Ultra Space]], going through [[Ultra Wormhole]]s and into the Alola region. This light, now known as [[Z-Power]], would pour through Ultra Wormholes and into other [[dimensions]], creating the energy used for [[Z-Moves]] and the aura surrounding that of the [[Ultra Beast]]s and [[Totem Pokémon]]. The people of [[Ultra Megalopolis]] attempted to gain control of Necrozma in order to recreate the light it shares. This injured Necrozma, causing it to become aggressive, transforming its body into a black prism-like shape putting the Pokémon in constant pain, seeking out the light that it once had. According to [[Professor Kukui]], pieces of its body were chipped off and scattered creating the [[Z-Crystal]]s and [[Sparkling Stone]]s that are used to form [[Z-Ring]]s and [[Z-Power Ring]]s found in Alola.

Necrozma, looking to devour Alola's light, had put the region into darkness. Necrozma was met by the [[guardian deities|guardian tapu]] and their [[Legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|UM}}, battling with them at [[Tapu Village]]. Necrozma had succeeded in this fight against the Legendary Pokémon, resulting in a transformation where Necrozma had taken over Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}}/Lunala{{sup/7|UM}}<nowiki/>'s light, turning it into Dusk Mane{{sup/7|US}}/Dawn Wings{{sup/7|UM}} Necrozma. Now dubbed the "pillager of light" by the king of Alola, the Tapu and a youth had fought against Necrozma, using the Z-Power from Z-Crystals and Sparkling Stones. This story had created the tradition of the young going on their [[island challenge]]. Information about Necrozma was erased from history and most, but not all, historical books written about the Pokémon were burned.

After the [[player]] has caught all the [[Ultra Beast]]s found in Alola, they will tell [[Anabel]] and [[Wicke]] at [[Aether Paradise]] about their work. [[Looker]] of the [[International Police]] comes into the room, notifying the group of an Ultra Beast that is colored black but was somehow refracting light like a prism. However, the International Police has stated that all the Ultra Beasts they have identified have been caught. The player goes to [[Ten Carat Hill]] to encounter the mysterious Pokémon, the same way they did with the Ultra Beasts. This Pokémon turns out to be the [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] Necrozma. If the player catches Necrozma, they can talk to Looker on {{rt|2|alola}}'s motel and he will look at Necrozma's [[Pokédex]] data. Looker notices that it matches perfectly with what he had seen before, but concludes it must just be a rare Pokémon.

While the encounter method is the same as the Ultra Beasts, Necrozma is unaffected by [[Beast Ball]]s, and its name appears during battle rather than displaying as ???, allowing it to be registered as seen in the [[Pokédex]].

Necrozma was being researched by the [[Aether Foundation]] and members of the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] under orders of the Aether Foundation's president, [[Lusamine]]. Lusamine had been told history about Necrozma, and it's escape from [[Megalo Tower]], hoping to prevent its appearance in Alola. In the process, her and the Ultra Recon Squad began research on a {{p|Cosmog}} who can create [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. With Cosmog's power, she can go into [[Ultra Space]] and encounter Necrozma on her own. Knowing that overuse of this power will harm the Cosmog, [[Lillie]] had taken [[Nebby]] away from [[Aether Paradise]] with Lusamine ordering the Ultra Recon Squad to track down the girl and Nebby. Throughout the story, the player will encounter two members of the Recon Squad who will provide them with information on Cosmog, Necrozma, and any relevant history between them and Alola.

Necrozma first appears in person once the player and Lillie make it to [[Poni Island|Poni]]'s altar. After the events of Lusamine using Nebby's power at Aether Paradise and leaving into Ultra Space, the two summon the [[Legendary Pokémon]] with Alola's ritual: by evolving Nebby into {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|UM}}. Lillie and the player are amazed by this, only to be interrupted by an Ultra Wormhole appearing behind them. [[Team Skull]]'s Boss, [[Guzma]] is dumped from the wormhole, followed by Lillie's mother, Lusamine. Lusamine warns Lillie to stay away from the monster, with Necrozma reaching through the Ultra Wormhole and making its way into Alola. Nebby takes action and fights against Necrozma, resulting in its defeat. Necrozma pins down Nebby and absorbs its light, transforming into [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Dusk Mane]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Dawn Wings]]{{sup/7|UM}} Necrozma. With light being drawn from Alola, Poni Island is covered in darkness.

The player fights against the now transformed Necrozma and wins. As a form of retreat, Necrozma summons more Ultra Wormholes across the Alola region, unleashing multiple [[Ultra Beast]]s and alerting the region's [[guardian deities|guardians]]. Necrozma returns into Ultra Megalopolis and attempts to revert back into its original state. Horrified at the events that just occurred, the group meets the Ultra Recon Squad, who provide information on where Necrozma had run off to and what should be done. The player is given the squadron's Lunala{{sup/7|US}}/Solgaleo{{sup/7|UM}} to traverse through Ultra Space and makes their way to Ultra Megalopolis. Being informed by two other members of the Ultra Recon Squad, the player is told that Necrozma is at Megalo Tower. They make their way up through the illuminated building where they see Necrozma going through [[Ultra Burst]], transforming into [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Ultra Necrozma]], and initiate a battle with it. Necrozma is engulfed with [[Z-Power]], illuminated by a yellow aura which raises all of its [[stat]]s. After a difficult fight with the member of the [[light trio]], Necrozma is defeated and light shines down on Alola once again. Nebby is freed from Necrozma's grasp and it goes home with the player.

Necrozma disappears, only to be discovered again by the player while traveling up [[Mount Lanakila]]. The weakened Necrozma is found in a crater, and seeks light, leaving the player the option to choose to activate a battle with a higher catch rate than it had in Sun and Moon. After the fight, Necrozma leaves a piece of [[Ultranecrozium Z]], which it can use to temporarily return to its Ultra Necrozma form through Ultra Burst. If caught [[Colress]] appears and provides the player with the [[N-Solarizer]] and [[N-Lunarizer]]. In the post-game, Lillie and Nebby can be found on [[Mahalo Trail]], who suggests that Necrozma would not suffer as much if it was closer to Nebby's light, and offers the Pokémon to the player.  

====Moves====

In Sun and Moon, Necrozma, Like all the [[Ultra Beast]]s, Necrozma will respawn immediately after its defeat and the player can re-encounter the Pokémon by walking into the tall grass a second time. Unlike the Ultra Beasts, there is no music indicating its presence, using the normal [[Ten Carat Hill]] track that plays in the location. Necrozma uses the "Battle! (Solgaleo/Lunala)" theme that also plays against {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}.

Necrozma cannot be [[shiny]] and all basic [[Poké Ball]] properties apply.

While Necrozma doesn't appear in person in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], [[Lusamine (Masters)|Lusamine]] references the Pokémon from the events based on Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. After thinking that Necrozma is a harmful Pokémon that could steal the light of the world, she realizes treating them with kindness is a better way to go about protecting them. Lusamine pairs up with a different {{p|Necrozma}} in this game, taking into account of her previous actions with the former Necrozma from Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

As a part of ''[[PE02|The Eclipse]],'' Necrozma is found coming through an Ultra Wormhole in a retelling of [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Moon]]'s plot. Necrozma initiates a fight with now fully evolved Nebby as a Lunala, and wins the brawl, resulting it's transformation into Dawn Wings Necrozma. The episode ends with a determined Lillie and {{ga|Selene}} ready to battle the Pokémon.
