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.

Core series

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon

Prior to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon

In Alola's ancient history, Necrozma was once viewed as the "Blinding One", whose light was scattered across Ultra Space, going through Ultra Wormholes and into the Alola region. This light, now known as Z-Power or Ultra Aura, 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.

One day though, the ancient people of Ultra Megalopolis attempted to gain control of Necrozma in order to recreate the light it shares, this heavily injured it, causing it to lose its light and power, turning its prismatic body to become black and put the Pokémon in a constant pain, now 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.

Once Necrozma was injured, it attempted to recover its stolen light in Ultra Megalopolis and return to its original state, resulting in Ultra Megalopolis being shrouded in darkness, but Necrozma's plan was in vain, staying in its weakened, dark form. It was eventually locked up in the Megalo Tower for its violence by the ones who injured it in the first place.

Somehow, Necrozma managed to free itself and scape from the Megalo Tower, looking to devour Alola's light as well, had put the region into darkness. Necrozma was met by the guardian tapu and their Legendary Pokémon, Solgaleo^US/Lunala^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^US/Lunala^UM's light, turning it into Dusk Mane^US/Dawn Wings^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, defeating it and freeing Solgaleo^US/Lunala^UM. Information about Necrozma was erased from history and most, but not all, historical books written about the Pokémon were burned.

Main Story

During the main plot of Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, 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 informed about Necrozma's history, and its escape from Megalo Tower, hoping to prevent its appearance in Alola. In the process, she and the Ultra Recon Squad began research on a Cosmog who can create Ultra Wormholes. 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 them down. Throughout the story, the player will encounter two members of the Recon Squad who will provide them with information on Cosmog, Necrozma, and the relevant history between them and Alola.

Necrozma first appears in person once the player and Lillie make it to 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 Solgaleo^US/Lunala^UM. Lillie and the player are amazed by this, only to be interrupted by an Ultra Wormhole appearing before 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 Dusk Mane^US/Dawn Wings^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 Beasts and alerting the region's 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^US/Solgaleo^UM to traverse through Ultra Space and makes their way to Ultra Megaloplis. 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 Ultra Necrozma, and inititate a battle with it. Necrozma is engulfed with Z-Power, illuminated by a yellow aura which raises all of its stats. 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. 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.

Personality and characteristics

Necrozma was once a benevolent Pokémon that willingly shared it's light with many worlds, being known in the ancient time of Alola as the "Blinding One", but after being injured, it turned out to be in constant pain, travelling through several worlds, stealing their light attempting to regain its original form and power, not caring for the dimensions it ruins.
