Summary
- Necrozma and its fusions return in a Raid Day event on December 14 from 2-5 pm local time.
- Fusions require specific candy and energy, no cost to undo, with unique Adventure Effects.
Pokemon GO has announced that Necrozma and its fusions will return in a new Raid Day on December 14. This will be one of the first events of the next Pokemon GO season, giving players the chance to get some strong Pokemon that Niantic added this year.
Necrozma appeared for the first time during Pokemon GO Fest 2024 as a Special Research reward for players of the in-person events and in raids for trainers around the world. But that wasn't the only big news, as the devs confirmed the debut of Necrozma fusions in Pokemon GO, with Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings Necrozma becoming available during the GO Fest. And now, devs have big news related to them.
Necrozma and its fusions will return to Pokemon GO on the upcoming Raid Day on December 14 from 2 pm to 5 pm local time. Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma will appear more frequently in raids, and defeating them will give trainers a chance to catch Necrozma. From December 13-14, from 5 pm to 8 pm PST, the Remote Raid Pass limit will be 20, and players will receive up to five additional Raid Passes by spinning PokeStops. For $5, a ticket will be available, allowing them to get more Raid Passes, XP, Stardust, and a chance to earn Candy XL. The game's online store will sell an Ultra Box for $4.99 with an event ticket and a Premium Battle Pass.

There will be no energy or candy cost to undo the fusions. Each fusion will have an Adventure Effect, with Sunsteel Strike (Dusk Mane Nerozma) attracting daytime Pokemon, and Moongeist Bean (Dawn Wings Necrozma) attracting nighttime critters.
After revealing the title and dates, Niantic has revealed more details about Pokemon GO's Dual Destiny season.

During the new season, which ends in March 2025, trainers will see the debuts of Sinistea and Polteageist, new Shadow Raids, and more.
