Defeat Ultra Necrozma in Pokémon USUM with Dark or Steel-types. Learn Necrozma's attacks like Photon Geyser and get Poipole afterwards.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Ultra Necrozma has overwhelming offensive stats and Speed, and receives a boost to all stats, making it extremely oppressive. It can one-shot many Pokémon.
  2. 2
    Necrozma uses Photon Geyser and Dragon Pulse for massive damage, Smart Strike against Ice and Fairy-types, and Power Gem.
  3. 3
    Its Neuroforce Ability makes its super-effective attacks stronger.
  4. 4
    Dark-types are ideal to avoid Photon Geyser damage. Steel-types resist all of Necrozma’s attacks. Special tanks are also good.
  5. 5
    Warning: Use an X Sp. Def to boost your Pokémon’s Special Defense immediately.
  6. 6
    If your Pokémon can survive Photon Geyser, spam healing items until it runs out of PP (it has 5 PP).
  7. 7
    After Photon Geyser's PP is depleted, focus on dealing damage with Dragon Pulse and its other two moves. Necrozma cannot heal.
Tips
  • If you struggle to survive Necrozma's hits, leave Ultra Megapolis to train or devise another strategy.
  • Consider using Toxic to KO Necrozma within 6 turns. You need a Pokémon that can survive a hit to use Toxic.
  • Catch a Zorua from the grass in Trainer’s School. Teach it Toxic and place it at the front of your party.
  • Place a Fighting or Poison-type (like the traded Hawlucha from Route 2) in the last slot. When Zorua enters battle, it mimics the last Pokémon, causing Necrozma to use Photon Geyser on Zorua, which fails as Zorua is Dark-type. This gives you an opportunity to use Toxic.
  • Stall with Protect or other moves after using Toxic.

Afterwards, you’ll be brought back to the Altar of the Sunne/Moone. Captain Mina will visit and give you an invitation to her island trial. You can accept to travel to Seafolk Village or go there yourself.

Having visited Ultra Megapolis, you can tell the young boy in the Royal Avenue park (east of the Pokémon Center) five tales of courage. After telling him the fifth tale, he will challenge you to a Pokémon battle.

Youngster Kenway uses a Level 48 Lycanroc (Midday), a Rock-type with exceptional Attack and Speed. It uses Stone Edge, Crunch, Rock Climb, and Scary Face.
