Psychic gives Necrozma strong STAB coverage, and its stat spread wastes nothing on the offensive side. It needs some investment to avoid getting outsped. Part of the Gen 7 roster. Only weak to Bug, Ghost, and Dark.
Nothing fancy in Necrozma's spread. It leans mixed with Sp. Atk out front. And you'll get 3 Attack and Sp. Atk EVs per KO for it. Follows a slow 1.25M XP grind.
It looks somehow pained as it rages around in search of light, which serves as its energy. It’s apparently from another world.
Light is the source of its energy. If it isn’t devouring light, impurities build up in it and on it, and Necrozma darkens and stops moving.
Necrozma Weakness
VulnerableNecrozma is weak to Bug, Ghost, and Dark-type moves. Necrozma's overall bulk (97/101/89) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.
Necrozma is a powerhouse with 600 total stats as a Psychic legendary. Can't breed it, so you're locked to whatever you catch or receive.
How to Evolve
Necrozma runs a standard defensive wall set. Relaxed nature with max HP and Defense EVs shapes the build, while Colbur Berry brings extra utility. Prismarmor supports the kit from the background.
