Pokémon Go is gearing up to introduce a brand new gameplay feature inspired by the traditional Pokémon series: Pokémon Fusion. Recent data mining efforts have uncovered references to this fusion concept within the app, thanks to the diligent team at PokéMiners. These findings strongly indicate not only how the fusion mechanic might function but also which Pokémon will be eligible for this new feature.
The idea of fusion, where one Pokémon temporarily merges with another, promises to be an enjoyable innovation. With the upcoming appearance of Necrozma at Go Fest 2024—recently revealed by developer Niantic during this week’s solar eclipse—it seems the perfect time for such a feature to be added. Necrozma’s participation has been officially confirmed, and players will be able to encounter this extraordinary Pokémon during the summer’s Go Fest events through raid battles.
Unique among Pokémon, Necrozma is capable of fusing with certain species to significantly enhance its power. Specifically, it can merge with the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo or Lunala from Pokémon Sun and Moon, resulting in forms known as Duskmane Necrozma and Dawnwing Necrozma.
The recent files linked to Pokémon Go also hint at the introduction of new resources labeled as Lunar or Solar Fusion Energy, which appear necessary for initiating the Fusion process. It is possible that these resources could be obtained through raids for Solgaleo and Lunala, functioning similarly to the current system for Mega Raids and Mega Energy—although this remains speculative.
Interestingly, the data mining revealed two additional Pokémon poised to participate in fusion. The first is Kyurem, already available in the game, which has the ability to fuse with either Zekrom or Reshiram. The second is Calyrex, which, although not yet released, will be able to fuse with either Glastrier or Spectrier.
Last year, there was an inadvertent early release of fused versions of Kyurem, a mistake that Niantic quickly rectified after it came to light.
As for the highly anticipated Go Fest 2024, the events will launch in Sendai, Japan, from May 30 to June 2, followed by festivities in Madrid from June 14 to June 16. The exciting tour will then move to New York City from July 5 to July 7, before concluding with a global finale for all players on July 13 and 14.
With these new developments, Pokémon Go enthusiasts have much to look forward to in the coming months, particularly with the introduction of the Pokémon Fusion mechanic that could reshape gameplay experiences. Stay tuned for updates, as Pokémon GO frequently changes!
