Where to Catch Necrozma in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon
In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Necrozma is no longer randomly encountered in grassy fields. To catch this powerful Ultra Beast, you must first reach the final trial and complete all the island trials. After completing these tasks, you’ll be led to Mount Lanakila, the location of the Pokémon League. Once there, you’ll gain access to a crater where Necrozma awaits.
Preparing for the Battle
Before you attempt to catch Necrozma, make sure you are fully prepared. Necrozma is an extremely powerful Pokémon and can easily knock out your team if you’re not careful. Here’s what you should do before heading into battle:
- Stock Up on Ultra Balls: Necrozma has a high catch rate, so you’ll want plenty of Ultra Balls on hand.
- Save Your Game: This will allow you to reload if things go wrong during the battle.
- Bring Status Effect Moves: A status move like Sleep or Paralyze will help weaken Necrozma, making it easier to catch.
Battle Strategy
To start the battle, approach Necrozma’s body in the crater and interact with it. This will trigger the encounter. Necrozma is a Psychic type with a high Special Attack, so be sure to bring Pokémon with high defenses or resistances to Psychic-type moves. Once the battle begins, use your status effect move to weaken Necrozma, then start tossing your Ultra Balls.
Post-Battle
After successfully catching Necrozma, you will receive several important items:
- Ultranecrozium Z
- N-Solarizer (in Ultra Sun)
- N-Lunarizer (in Ultra Moon)
These items will allow you to access Necrozma’s special forms and further enhance its abilities, adding to your roster of powerful Pokémon!
Catching Necrozma can be a challenging task, but with the right preparation and strategy, you’ll soon have this powerful Ultra Beast on your team. Be sure to save frequently and use status effects to your advantage!

all it took me was my Incinaroar at level 89 and 1 ultra ball. i used fire charge and it brought Necrosma straight to red and he only did like 50 damage to me with powergem.
I caught it with hp in the yellow, a paralysis, and ONE normal pokéball. I honestly couldn’t relieve how easy it was to catch
easy for me, but I’ve been really lucky in this game. Dwindled health down to red with primarina lvl 70 and then used one ultra ball.
Just use a quick ball I got necrozma first try
“Catching Necrozma can be a bit tough…make sure you have a number of Ultra Balls in your inventory”
It’s actually coded in to the game to be very easy to catch. I reset the encounter many times and the most it took me was 5 pokeballs
What if you deafeated him? Am I never going to get one?
If you defeat it, you’ll never get one again.

You can also leave it at 1 HP and throw only ONE Beast Ball to catch it.
