From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Necrozma (Japanese: ネクロズマ Necrozma) is a Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Necrozma is a Pokémon whose body appears to be constructed out of black crystalline material; its disproportionately large arms have three claws jutting out of them, as well as a single large whitish crystal protruding backwards from each arm. Its small legs bend backwards like a bird's and have three toes each. However, it does not seem to use them as it can naturally levitate through unknown methods. A single spine juts out of each of its shoulders like a hook. Its head and torso are covered in spikes, and it possesses a collection of multicolored shapes in the center of its head where a face should be. The back of its head is white, with a dark gray symbol resembling a star in the center.
Necrozma was discovered dwelling deep underground, where it had been asleep for ages. Due to the peculiar nature of its body, the power it wields, and the rumors that it came from another world in the distant past, it is speculated that it may be related to the Ultra Beasts if not actually one itself; however, the International Police have no records of it ever emerging from an Ultra Wormhole so its classification is still uncertain. Despite being pitch-black, it constantly refracts light like a prism. Light acts as the source of its energy, and it can concentrate this light to perform its signature move, Prismatic Laser. It is known to be incredibly vicious, firing off laser beams at anything around it.

Evolution
Trivia
Origin
Necrozma could be based off the concept of prisms and light refraction. Given the first part of its name ("necro"), its black coloration, and the star symbol on the back of its head, it could also be based off a black dwarf (which is a theoretical "dead star"), or given its ability to absorb light, it could also be based off a black hole (which is formed from a collapsed star).
Name origin
Necrozma may be a combination of νεκρός nekrós (Ancient Greek for death), 黒 kuro (black), and Prisma (German, Portuguese and Dutch for prism).
