There are several hidden bonuses in Pokemon GO Necrozma Fusion Raid Day that were not announced by Niantic before the event. It takes place from 2 - 5 pm local time on December 14, 2024. These were discovered by players in New Zealand, where the event went live first. Trainers in many parts of Europe and the Americas can still enjoy them.
The event itself is exciting, as it gives trainers, who missed out on Pokemon GO Fest 2024, the chance to get their hands on Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings Necrozma — two of the most powerful PvE attackers in the title. The hidden bonuses in Pokemon GO Necrozma Fusion Raid Day make it even better.
Let's get right into it!

What hidden bonuses are available in Pokemon GO Necrozma Fusion Raid Day?
Players can enjoy the following hidden bonuses in Pokemon GO Necrozma Fusion Raid Day:
- Necrozma Raids refresh every 30 minutes: This means you can participate in approximately five-to-six raids in a single Gym throughout the three-hour event.
- All trainers get Beast Balls instead of Premier Balls: Instead of offering the generic Premier Balls that are common to all raids, you get Beast Balls — the number depends on the amount of time taken to win the challenge. These are special Poke Balls that have a 20x higher Catch Rate than Premier Balls.
- Cosmog Candy is a reward: One of the main resources needed to complete Necrozma Fusions in Pokemon GO is Cosmog Candy. There is no easy way of getting this resource other than walking your Buddy outside of events. This being one of the rewards makes achieving the Fusions much more accessible for players who missed GO Fest 2024.
- Fusion Energy is proportional to the number of Beast Balls you receive: This is less of a hidden bonus, as it is a known fact; the longer you take to beat the raid, the lower the amount of Energy you receive.

It is important to note here, that these hidden bonuses in Pokemon GO Necrozma Fusion Raid Day will only be available to players during the event hours in the area where the raid is taking place and applies to Remote Raids as well.
