Analysis
Necrozma, the star of GO Fest 2024, has arrived. It's a decent Psychic attacker, but the real treats are in its fused formes, Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma. These two formes are some of the most powerful attackers in the game, so be sure to grab them whenever possible. Base Necrozma itself unfortunately isn't spectacular.
Offense
- Psycho Cut and Future Sight can make Necrozma a respectable Psychic attacker.
- All of Necrozma's other options don't serve much purpose offensively.
Shadow Claw is Necrozma's superior Fast Attack, boasting good damage, additional coverage, and incredible energy generation. Psycho Cut is a good Fast Attack, but pales in comparison to Shadow Claw because its damage is lacking. Metal Claw is horrible in PvP.
Future Sight offers the highest raw DPE and is further backed by STAB.Dark Pulseis Necrozma's cheapest Charged Attack and also provides good coverage by hitting opposing Psychic- and Steel-type opponents harder than its other moves. Iron Head also has the same cost, but Steel tends to be worse offensive type than Dark. Outrage can be used as a surprise coverage move against Dragon-type Pokemon.
Necrozma is unobtainable in the Great League
