It looks like the emergence of both Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma in Pokémon GO has resulted in the discovery of two new Adventure Effects. Today, we're going to take a closer look into what these new Adventure Effects.
Before that, a quick recap. Adventure Effects are powerful Pokémon attacks which can be activated outside of battle. These give temporary bonus effects and help trainers on their adventure. The new Adventure Effects happen when Dusk Mane Necrozma uses Sunsteel Strike and when Dawn Wings Necrozma uses Moongeist Beam.
Sunsteel Strike
To obtain the Adventure Effect known as Sunsteel Strike, trainers need to fuse Necrozma with Solgaleo into Dusk Mane Necrozma. To activate Sunsteel Strike, trainers need to use 3,000 Stardust and 3 Necrozma Candy. Once activated, they get to harnesses the power of sunlight for 10 minutes. During this period, Pokémon which typically appear during daytime are going to be attracted to the location of the trainer, much like the effect of Incense. In addition, Pokémon which can only evolve during daytime can evolve at any time while this Adventure Effect is active.
Trainers can extend the duration of the Adventure Effect in increments of 10 minutes by making use of more Stardust and Necrozma Candy. The timer can be extended for a maximum of two hours each time trainers tap Use. Trainers can tap Use again to add additional time, for up to 24 hours total.
By the way, Sunsteel Strike can't be active at the same time as another Adventure Effect, an Incense, a Daily Adventure Incense, the Mystery Box, or the Coin Bag.
Moongeist Beam
To get the Moongeist Beam Adventure Effect, trainers have to fuse Necrozma with Lunala to get Dawn Wings Necrozma. To activate the Adventure Effect trainers need to spend 3,000 Stardust and 3 Necrozma Candy. This allows trainers to utilize the power of moonlight for 10 minutes. During this period Pokémon that typically appear during nighttime are going to be attracted to the trainer's location. It pretty much acts like an Incense. Meanwhile, Pokémon which only evolve during nighttime can evolve at any time while this Adventure Effect is active.
The duration of the Moongeist Beam's Adventure Effect can also be extended similar to the Sunsteel Strike. It also can't be active at the same time as another Adventure Effect, an Incense, a Daily Adventure Incense, the Mystery Box, or the Coin Bag.
Pokémon GO is available on mobile platforms and can be downloaded free through the App Store and Google Play.
