Pokemon Go players have voiced concerns over a Legendary ‘mon’s future accessibility when it inevitably returns to the mobile game.
TheUltra Beastcould further be fused with Gen 7 Legendaries Solgaleo or Lunala to createDusk Mane and Dawn Wings Necrozmarespectively, though the resource required to do so has since become unobtainable.
Trainers who were unable to get enough Solar or Lunar Energy subsequently have to play the waiting game but for how long and in what form the content will return remains to be seen.
Lamenting their inability to hit the needed 1000 energy before Go Fest Global concluded onReddit, the conversation quickly turned to speculation over how Necrozma and the associatedSun and Moon‘mons would return.
“You can’t, you can try again next year or so when they return,” came one response to the author questioning if the currency was still available.
Referencingcontroversy over Mega Rayquazaonly being available in Elite Raids when the Ruby and Sapphire icon returned in June, one user believed they’d return “As in-person Elite Raids.”
“Yeah, that’s what I’m guessing too,” another agreed, while others were more critical. “It seems like a precedent was set recently with Mega Rayquaza and it seems clearer than ever that having location data is more valuable to Niantic than people spending coins on Remote Raid Passes,” they suggested.

The possibility of “Field Research tasks” granting only small amounts of Fusion Energy if “enough people request Niantic find new ways to gain energy” was also put forward.
Regardless of the method Niantic ultimately decides to use, it’s clear that plenty of playersweren’t able to accrue all the necessary resourcesto combine their own Necrozma before the event ended. Whether Trainers will have to wait an entire year to finish the process remains to be seen.
