Necrozma is one of the many Legendary Pokémon you can encounter while playing the mobile game Pokémon Go. Like many Legendary encounters, Necrozma can be added to your collection after catching it, but you'll want to equip it with the strongest attacks to teach it the best moveset.
Necrozma Arrives in Pokémon GO
You don’t have many options when it comes to selecting Necrozma’s moveset. The choices you do have are limited but important. If you don’t teach him the right options, he may not perform well in battle and you may not be able to take on the toughest challenges in Pokémon Go. We’ll explain which moves you should teach Necrozma to get the most out of him, and how to best use them while playing the mobile game.
When it comes to giving Necrozma the best moveset it can learn, you’ll want to teach it the quick move Shadow Claw and the charged moves Dark Pulse and Future Sight. As a Psychic-type, Necrozma is weak to Bug, Dark, and Ghost-type attacks but is resistant to Psychic and Fighting-type moves in Pokémon Go. It’s making its debut during the Pokémon Go Fest 2024 event and is expected to appear again in future raids.
For the fast move, Necrozma can learn Metal Claw, Psycho Cut, or Shadow Claw. While Psycho Cut is usually the go-to option for many Psychic-types, Shadow Claw is a fantastic choice. It's super effective against Ghost and Psychic-types, and makes Necrozma a counter to Pokémon it's normally resistant to. Metal Claw is useful at times, but it's not suited for Necrozma since it lacks the energy generation of Shadow Claw.
