Necrozma

Necrozma (ネクロズマ) is a -type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

Prism Form
Necrozma is a Pokémon whose body appears to be constructed out of black crystalline material; its disproportionately large arms have three claws jutting out of them, as well as a single large whitish crystal protruding backwards from each arm. Its small legs bend backwards like a bird's and have three toes each. However, it does not seem to use them as it can naturally levitate through unknown methods.

A single wing grows out of each of its shoulders, which resembles a hook. The large protrusion attached to its head is its tail, which is white in the back with a dark gray symbol resembling a star in the center.

This part of the tail absorbs light that it converts to lasers, and glows when it does. The sides of its head and the top of its tail are covered in spikes, and its face possesses a collection of multicolored shapes.

Dusk Mane
When Necrozma merges with Solgaleo, it takes control of its body and gets stronger. Necrozma is able to learn Sunsteel Strike in this form.

Dawn Wings
When Necrozma merges with Lunala, it takes control of its body and gets stronger. Necrozma is able to learn Moongeist Beam in this form.

Behaviour
Necrozma was discovered dwelling deep underground, where it had been asleep for ages. Due to the peculiar nature of its body, the power it wields, and the rumors that it came from another world in the distant past, it is speculated that it may be related to the Ultra Beasts, if it is not actually one itself; however, the International Police have no records of it ever emerging from an Ultra Wormhole so its classification is still uncertain.

Despite being pitch-black, it constantly refracts light like a prism.

Natural abilities
Necrozma has the ability to absorb light and refract it as its signature move, Prismatic Laser.

Locations
It can be found in the farthest hollow in Ten Carat Hill at Level 75 in the tall grass. It has a 1% chance of appearing.

By Tutoring
Necrozma doesn't know moves by tutoring.

Trivia

 * Its hinted that Necrozma might make an impact to the upcoming game, Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon
 * Like Ultra Beasts, all of Necrozma's base stats, as well as the level in which it learns moves, are all prime numbers.

Origin

 * Necrozma is based on the concept of prisms and how it reflects light. Necrozma is black in color possibly because some prisms absorb black and white light but reflect other colors.

Etymology

 * Its name is a combination of "necro", meaning death, "negro", Spanish for black and/or dark, "prism", a misspelling of "plasma", and "croma", a purity of light and color. It might also use letters from the word "penumbra" (a type of shade during an eclipse).
