Fusion Energy in Pokémon GO comes from Fusion Raids and Special Research, with different energy types depending on the fusion you want. For Necrozma, you need Solar Fusion Energy for Solgaleo and Lunar Fusion Energy for Lunala; Niantic says Fusion Energy can be earned through Special Research and Fusion Raids, and you also need enough Candy for both Pokémon.

How to get it

  • Complete Fusion Raids. Niantic lists Fusion Raids as a source of Fusion Energy.
  • Finish Special Research. Niantic also says Special Research can award Fusion Energy.
  • Use the correct energy type. Solar Fusion Energy is for Solgaleo fusion, and Lunar Fusion Energy is for Lunala fusion.

What players were seeing

Public guides from the 2024 GO Fest coverage said Fusion Energy was first available through in-person GO Fest research and later through global GO Fest raid content, which matched the rollout around Necrozma fusions.

Practical tip

If you’re trying to fuse Necrozma, make sure you already have the needed partner Pokémon and enough Candy, because energy alone is not enough to complete the fusion. Niantic’s support page says you need sufficient Candy for both Pokémon plus the required Fusion Energy.
