Necrozma (Japanese:ネクロズマ Necrozma), referred to as the Blinding One (Japanese: かがやきさま Radiant One) by the Ultra Recon Squad, is a character introduced in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Known as the pillager of light (Japanese: 光の略奪者 pillager of light) in mythology, it serves as one of the main threats in the game, looking to take the light of the Alola region.
Core series
A Necrozma plays a small role in Sun and Moon. Whether this is the same Necrozma found in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon or a different one altogether is unknown.
After the player has caught all the Ultra Beasts 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 Necrozma. If the player catches Necrozma, they can talk to Looker on Route 2'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 Balls, and its name appears during battle rather than displaying as ???, allowing it to be registered as seen in the Pokédex.
Moves
Like the Ultra Beasts, 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 Solgaleo and Lunala.
In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Necrozma's role is much different, being the main species focus of the games, alongside Nebby.
Website Blurb: "Necrozma is wreathed in mystery and is thought to have come from another world in ancient times."
Background and pre-game
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 Wormholes 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 Beasts 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-Crystals and Sparkling Stones that are used to form Z-Rings and Z-Power Rings found in Alola.
Necrozma had attempted to recover this stolen light in Ultra Megalopolis and return to its original state, resulting in Ultra Megalopolis being shrouded in darkness. Necrozma was locked up in Megalo Tower for its violence, preventing it from escaping.
Necrozma, looking to devour Alola's light, had put the region into darkness. Necrozma was met by the guardian tapu and their Legendary Pokémon, SolgaleoUS/LunalaUM, 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 SolgaleoUS/LunalaUM's light, turning it into Dusk ManeUS/Dawn WingsUM 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. Information about Necrozma was erased from history and most, but not all, historical books written about the Pokémon were burned.
Moves
In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Necrozma cannot be caught until it is found at Mount Lanakila. Its catch rate is higher than it was in Sun and Moon.
- Altar of the SunneUS/Altar of the MooneUM
- Megalo Tower (Ultra Megalopolis)
Ultra Necrozma cannot be caught. Ultra Necrozma has all of its stats raised by 2 stages. Despite being Ultra Necrozma, it cannot use Z-Moves and lacks any Z-Crystals.
- Mount Lanakila
Necrozma will be holding an Ultranecrozium Z, as a result it's item cannot be swapped and is unaffected by the effects of moves like Knock Off. Necrozma cannot use Z-Moves or perform Ultra Burst due to not being fused with Solgaleo or Lunala. After its defeat, Necrozma will drop an piece of Ultranecrozium Z, allowing the player to add it to their collection of Z-Crystals.

The episode ends with a determined Lillie and Selene ready to battle the Pokémon.
