Is Dawn Wings Necrozma with Moongeist Beam worth it in Pokemon GO Battle League?

Yes, Dawn Wings Necrozma with Moongeist Beam is worth using in Pokemon GO Battle League. Moongeist Beam is a Ghost-type Charged Attack that deals base 135 damage (162 with STAB) at 65 energy. It also comes without any self-debuffs. This puts it in a similar league as Origin Pulse and Precipice Blades in terms of damage-to-energy ratio.

What makes Dawn Wings Necrozma such a menace in GO Battle League's Master League is the sheer coverage that a Ghost-type nuke move has in the format. Among the top 50 picks in the format, only five creatures — Meloetta, Ursaluna, Zarude, Yveltal, and Hydreigon — resist the move. Combine that with Dawn Wing Necrozma's massive 245+ Attack, and there are few Pocket Monsters that can survive a Moongeist Beam hit.

Is Dawn Wings Necrozma with Moongeist Beam worth it in Pokemon GO Gyms and raid battles?

Yes, Dawn Wings Necrozma with Moongeist Beam is worth using in Pokemon GO Gyms and raid battles. In PvE, the move has a base damage output of 230 and costs 100 energy. It has an animation duration of 3.1 seconds, bringing its DPS stat to 74.19.

When equipped with Shadow Claw and Moongeist Beam, Dawn Wings Necrozma emerges head and shoulders above Mega Gengar as the best Ghost-type attacker in Pokemon GO. Despite not having the benefits of Mega Evolution going for it, the creature is your best pick against all raids and Gym battles that are weak to Ghost-type damage.

How to get Dawn Wings Necrozma with Moongeist Beam in Pokemon GO?

Presently, there is only one way to get Moongeist Beam Dawn Wings Necrozma — fusing a Lunala with a Necrozma using 1,000 Lunar Fusion Energy, 30 Cosmog Candy, and 30 Necrozma Candy. You can get Lunar Fusion Energy by defeating Pokemon GO Dawn Wings Necrozma raids.

Despite being an exclusive move, it is not something you can teach using an Elite Charged TM. This makes it more like Spacial Rend Palkia than Origin Pulse Kyogre.
