News: CoroCoro reveals identity of the legendary forms

[PlatinumDude]

Guess my theories of the new mascots being Solgaleo/Lunala + Necrozma fusions was right, but was wrong on who dominates the fusion (Necrozma dominates both). I always thought that both were Solgaleo and Lunala were wearing Necrozma parts as armor, but Necrozma simply possesses them.

Anyway, Necrozma has a pretty wonky movepool, having random attacks like (Night) Slash and Stealth Rock. The Dusk Mane version could look something like this, assuming Necrozma has access to its entire movepool plus Sunsteel Strike and that its Attack is greatly increased with the merge:
-Stealth Rock
-Psycho Cut/Zen Headbutt
-Sunsteel Strike
-Earthquake
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Leftovers

Now the question is, will these forms stay pure Psychic like Necrozma's original form (you know, like how Black and White Kyurem kept regular Kyurem's typing) or will it take the Steel and Ghost types from Solgaleo and Lunala?

As for abilities, I would like to see it take on Solgaleo and Lunala's own abilities, much like how Black and White Kyurem inherited Zekrom and Reshiram's abilities.

I prefer Prism Armor. It is a lot better as it decreases the power of super effective moves. As for types, i don't mind either way.

For some reason, I can see them having new abilities with Dusk Mane Necrozma having Prism Body, a fusion between Prism Armor and Full Metal Body while Dawn Wings Necrozma can have Prism Shield, a fusion between Prism Armor and Shadow Shield. I think one reason for this is because it could follow the ORAS formula of adding moves and abilities in the game that weren't in the original Sun and Moon.

Types confirmed for Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma as Psychic/Steel and Psychic/Ghost respectively.

Looks like I was spot-on with my prediction that they'd inherit Solgaleo and Lunala's own types!
