Its body is composed of black crystalline material and features unusually large arms. Distinctive golden hooks protrude from each shoulder where its wings are attached, setting it apart from other variants.

Thus, we will explore the most effective techniques for defeating this formidable Pokemon in Pokemon Go.
Dusk Mane Necrozma in Pokémon Go
At level 50, Dusk Mane Necrozma is a unique Pokémon with both Psychic and Ghost types. Its maximum CP stands at an impressive 4623. Be wary, though, as this creature is susceptible to attacks from Dark and Ghost-type foes, suffering a double weakness against them. Mark your calendars for the second day of Pokémon Go Fest 2024: Global, where both Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma will make their worldwide debuts.
Regardless of your skill level, consider entering the fray with a group of three or more companions. If you lack effective counterstrategies or if you’re relatively inexperienced, opt for a larger team of five to seven players instead.

The most effective attacks in Dusk Mane Necrozma’s move repertoire are the moves Psycho Cut and Sunsteel Strike. These moves have a damage per second (DPS) of 24.77 and a total damage output (TDO) of 868.53.
