Stats & Training
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
Necrozma is weak to Bug, Ghost, and Dark. Necrozma's overall bulk (97/101/89) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.
