  1. It needs light to survive, and it goes on a rampage seeking it out. Its laser beams will cut anything to pieces.

    Shield
  2. It survives by absorbing light. After a long time spent slumbering underground, impurities accumulated within it, causing its body to darken.

    Sword
  3. Light is the source of its energy. If it isn’t devouring light, impurities build up in it and on it, and Necrozma darkens and stops moving.

    Ultra Moon
  4. It looks somehow pained as it rages around in search of light, which serves as its energy. It’s apparently from another world.

    Ultra Sun
  5. Light is apparently the source of its energy. It has an extraordinarily vicious disposition and is constantly firing off laser beams.

    Moon
  6. Reminiscent of the Ultra Beasts, this life-form, apparently asleep underground, is thought to have come from another world in ancient times.
