The Pokemon GO Dusk Mane Necrozma Raid is one of the boss fights that is impossible to solo. However, you can defeat this raid boss with a team of two trainers, provided they are fully prepared for the fight. This Pokemon boasts a high defense stat with no double weakness, making it fairly tricky to defeat. This means you only need one friend with you to win.

You can take on the challenge along with your fellow trainers during the Pokemon GO Necrozma Fusion Raid Day on December 14, 2024. The event starts at 2:00 and goes until 5:00 PM local time.

If you plan on taking the challenge with your friends, here is a Pokemon GO Dusk Mane Necrozma Raid Guide.

Why You Can’t Solo Defeat Dusk Mane Necrozma Raid Boss

There are several reasons why taking on the Dusk Mane Necrozma raid boss solo is impossible. Here are a few:

  • Dusk Mane Necrozma has no exploitable double weakness due to being a Steel- and Psychic-type Pokemon. This makes it harder to defeat than other raid bosses like his other counterpart, Dawn Wings Necrozma.
  • It has high defensive stats with a base Defense of 220 and a massive HP of 15,000, impossible to diminish within 300 seconds.
  • Aside from high defense and HP, this Pokemon also slaps hard with a 277 base attack stat. This means you will be wasting a lot of time healing or reviving your units instead of focusing on dealing more damage.

How Many Trainers Needed To Defeat Pokemon GO Dusk Mane Necrozma Raid Boss

You may not be able to defeat this raid boss alone, but you only need one more trainer to work with you to defeat the Dusk Mane Necrozma raid boss. However, this requires both of you to be fully prepared and bring in your best units.

Weather Condition Boosts

You don’t need a weather boost to defeat a boss raid. However, they can significantly improve your chances of winning as they boost your Pokemon’s attack types:

  • Sunny or Clear weather increases the power of Ground and Fire-type attacks, for Pokemon like Groudon and Mega Charizard Y.
  • Foggy Weather can boost Dark-type attacks, that is good if you’re using Pokemon like Mega or Shadow Tyranitar.
