==Biology==
Necrozma is a vaguely humanoid whose body appears to be constructed out of a black crystalline material. Necrozma's body is primarily prismatic and black due to the amount of impurities in its system. The large protrusion attached to its head is its tail, which has a row of three large spikes along the top and is white in the back with a dark gray symbol resembling a eight-pointed star in the center. Its face is actually a prism-like object known as the "brain prism", which possesses a collection of multicolored shapes that resemble eyes. While absorbing light, this brain prism glows white.Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon: The Official Alola Region Pokédex & Postgame Adventure Guide Its thin arms have disproportionately large hands with three claws. Jutting out of the back of each hand is a whitish crystal that darkens toward the tip, and each elbow has a hook-like spike. Two large spikes jut from each shoulder and there is a row of smaller spikes along each side of its body. Its feet have three hook-like toes each.
Necrozma originates from Ultra Space and is capable of opening and traveling through Ultra Wormholes. This causes many to believe Necrozma is one of the Ultra Beasts, however, different accounts refer to Necrozma as a "reminiscent of the Ultra Beasts" and "a creature almost like an Ultra Beast". It once had the ability to give light in its original form, but lost this ability along its true form after being heavily injured by the Ultra Recon Squad's ancestors in an attempt to steal its light; Professor Kukui and Lillie theorize that the Sparkling Stones and the Z-Crystals used to perform Z-Moves are fragments of Necrozma's body that it lost upon being injured and rained down into Alola. According to the Ultra Recon Squad, the light that radiates from Necrozma is the aura that surrounds the Trainer and Pokémon while performing a Z-Move and the aura surrounding a Totem Pokémon. This energy is consumed by Pokémon such as the Ultra Beasts and radiated by Pokémon such as and .
Necrozma displays extremely violent behavior due to the constant, maddening pain it suffers in its incomplete state. Desperate for the light it requires to sustain itself and regain its original form, Necrozma steals light from other beings and places. This behavior caused it to be feared as and known as a "pillager of light" in ancient times. Its black coloration is a result of impurities building up within it as a result of its deep slumber. Necrozma can . These lasers are powerful enough to blast through anything it hits.| Necrozma (Archived) It can also attack its foes with . Using its tail, it is able to propel itself by shooting black light from it. When Necrozma absorbs light from a world, that world becomes shrouded in darkness until the stolen light is returned as seen temporarily in Alola and in Ultra Megalopolis. In , the Aether Foundation confused Necrozma for an Ultra Beast and gave it a code name, "UB: Black". As seen in Filling the Light with Darkness, Necrozma is capable of absorbing a world's Ultra Aura, which causes adults to become more tired and lose motivation. Necrozma loves Necrozma Treats made by Snacksworth, who once encountered and roared loudly to intimidate it in the past.

===Forms===
Necrozma has three additional forms: Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Ultra Necrozma.
Necrozma can take control of or by fusing with them, dominating their bodies and eclipsing their minds to assume its Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings forms, respectively. However, Necrozma is also able to coexist with its host willingly, regardless of : "It doesn't seem like Necrozma or Solgaleo are suffering in their current state.
I suppose now that they have the light of our sync stone, they're able to coexist peacefully."(Pokémon Masters EX)Lillie"<player>, I know this may be sudden, but I hope you will consider what I ask of you. I want to entrust Nebby to you. I think Nebby should be with . From what I've heard, Necrozma would not suffer as much or ache so for the light if it can remain close to Nebby..."(Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon). Because Necrozma is forcibly absorbing their limitless light energy, Solgaleo and Lunala constantly glow while fused like in their Radiant Sun and Full Moon Phases. In both cases, the host's body is covered in pieces of Necrozma's body, which are arranged like armor, and Necrozma wields powers that exceed its respective host; it's powerful enough to open multiple Ultra Wormholes at once across a large area. When fused to either Solgaleo or Lunala, Necrozma becomes uncontrollably vicious and constantly rampages, treating anything it sees as an enemy and brutally attacking them with either its claws or its lasers, which can cut through anything. Necrozma is capable of fusing with Solgaleo and Lunala without the need for N-Solarizer or N-Lunarizer, supposedly due to both Legendary Pokémon radiating the same aura it feeds on.

;Ultra Necrozma
When Necrozma absorbs overwhelming amounts of light energy and Z-Power, it undergoes Ultra Burst, which causes it to split apart and then reform into its true form, Ultra Necrozma. It can achieve this by taking control of a or a while holding an Ultranecrozium Z. Alternatively, it can transform into Ultra Necrozma by absorbing Z-Power directly from Z-Moves (as seen in Securing the Future!) or by absorbing the Ultranecrozium Z (as seen in Transcend!! Ultra Necrozma!).
Ultra Necrozma is a colossal dragon Pokémon, composed mostly of pure light energy that it had stored from a great energy source before its transformation. This body of light is supported by a sort of skeleton made from the various pieces of Necrozma's crystalline body; these pieces take on a golden glow from the light, but they return to black without it. Its sheer size makes it the tallest known Pokémon. Its head is surrounded by several spikes and a pair of small wings, which causes it to resemble an eight-pointed star; there is also a small, lighter eight-pointed star on the back of its head. Its face is armored and has multicolored eyes; the left eye is primarily red, while the right is mainly blue. The patterns around its eyes resemble the Ultranecrozium Z. It has two pairs of wings: one around its shoulders and one around its hips. While the wings themselves are made of light, the arm portions are made of its former legs and shoulders, respectively. Its former arms now cover its lower legs, and what was once its tail covers its chest. Finally, it has a long tail with a row of spikes along the top.
Necrozma is at its full power in this form, radiating energy that has all sorts of effects on living beings and even nature itself. Its body temperature exceeds 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (5,540 degrees Celsius); anything that it touches will melt from the extreme heat. It can fire laser beams from every part of its body, and these lasers can reach over 18 miles away, burning through everything in their path.Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon site | Ultra Necrozma While swinging its four wings around, Ultra Necrozma uses its superheated claws to tear its opponents to shreds. In this form, it is known as the "blinding one" due to its brilliant appearance. As seen in The Prism Between Light and Darkness!, when Ultra Necrozma uses up all its light, it reverts to its lightless form and enters into a deep slumber unless it absorbs more light.

Necrozma's concept and design may be inspired by multiple depictions of aliens across various forms of media. This is indicated by its unusually proportioned limbs, large head, and type, which is often associated with intelligence, for aliens are often depicted to have more intellect than humans in science fiction. It also remotely resembles a dragon's skeleton, which could correlate to its Pokédex entry in mentioning that it has spent a long time "slumbering underground."

The forms' alternate names in Japanese, 日食 nisshoku (solar eclipse) and 月食 gesshoku (lunar eclipse) can also be literally translated as "eating the sun/moon", reflecting how Necrozma absorbs Solgaleo or Lunala to assume those forms.

====Name origin====
Necrozma may be a combination of νεκρός nekrós (Ancient Greek for dead), 黒 kuro (black), and πρῖσμα prîsma (Ancient Greek for prism) or plasma (state of matter most commonly found in stars). It may also involve , an experiment made to search for extraterrestrial life.
