Pokédex notes
Necrozma is a Psychic-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO. National Dex #0800. Legendaries shine in Master League and 5-star raids when IVs and moves align.
Where in GO: Legendary raids, research breakthroughs, and GO Tour events
Invest tip: Confirm live move pool (Photon Geyser) before investing. Legendary candy is scarce. Shadow Necrozma (if available) needs Frustration removal first. Fusion forms have different typing and moves — check those spotlights when listed.
