The Fusion Energy resources are the main ingredient to complete your fusion of Dusk Mane Necrozma or Dawn Wings Necromza. There are a handful of other items you also need to complete these transformations in Pokémon Go, but Fusion Energy is likely the most difficult resource to find. You want to make sure to log into Pokémon Go during the second day of Pokémon Go Fest 2024 to make sure to grab this research.

There are five pages of tasks for you to work through with this Special Research. As a Special Research, so long as you have it on your account, there’s no time limit to complete it. You can work your way through these objectives at any pace you want while playing Pokémon Go, but you might get the most out of them if you do it during the Pokémon Go Fest 2024 event.

If you do not have a Pokémon Go Fest 2024 ticket on your account, don’t expect to see this Special Research available. You’ll also want to keep in mind if you’d rather go for Dusk Mane Necromza or Dawn Wings Necromza, and you need Solar Fusion Energy or Lunar Fusion Energy.
