“Twilight is falling” is a special investigation mission in Pokemon go as part of Day 2 of Pokémon Go Fest Global 2024.
This quest will be unlocked once you complete Sunday’s free Cosmog research quest, “The Dawn of a New Discovery.” Please note that while the Cosmog quest is free for all players, “The Dusk Settles” is only for Go Fest Global ticket holders. (Ticket holders can also receive Marshadow’s “A Shadowy Caper” quest if they log in during event hours on Saturday.)
“The Dusk Settles” gives you one of the Cosmog evolutions (Solgaleo or Lunala), a Necrozma, and enough Solar or Lunar Fusion Energy to fuse your chosen legendary character with Necrozma to earn Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings Necrozma.
Below you will find all the steps for the Pokemon go Special Investigation Assignments “A Shadowy Caper”.
Special Investigation Mission ‘A Shadowy Caper’
Once you have purchased a Go Fest Global 2024 ticket and logged in, Pokemon go on Sunday, July 14th between 10:00 and 18:00, you will unlock this special research. Once you have done that, there is no deadline for completing the following steps:

- If you choose “Basking in the Radiance”, you will get a Solgaleo, an Espeon with a scarf and Solar Fusion Energy, enough to fully fuse it with Necrozma.

‘The Dusk Settles’ chooses a path outcome: Should you choose Solgaleo or Lunala?

After step one of the special research “The Dusk Settles” you will be promoted with a choice between Solgaleo and Lunala: “Baking in the Radiance” or “Hidden in the Umbra?”
This research will give you enough goods to get one of Necrozma’s special forms, so just pick the form you want the most.
First, know the stats of Dusk Mane or Dawn Wing Necrozma comes from the Necrozma, not the Solgaleo or Lunala you fuse it with, so you don’t have to worry about making a choice based on stats.
Secondly, each Necrozma form has Adventure Effects (similar to Sinnoh Tour’s Origin Forme Dialga and Palkia):
- Dusk Mane Necrozma learns Sunsteel Strike, which attracts Pokémon that appear during the day and allows you to evolve Pokémon with day requirements
- Dawn Wings Necrozma learns Moongeist Beam, which attracts Pokémon that appear at night and allows you to evolve Pokémon with nighttime requirements
If you mainly play at a certain time of day and have trouble evolving specific Pokémon, could be choose based on this.
Thirdly, regarding PvE, Both Dusk Mane and Dawn Wing Necrozma are very powerful, topping the charts for steel and ghost types respectively. Ghost-type moves are super effective against ghost and psychic types, and steel-type moves are super effective against rock, ice, and fairy types. That said, there are a ton of psychic types to fight in raids, but it’s not like steel-type moves have no use. It’s a tough call!
Does not matter what, Your choice does not mean you cannot have the other form. You just got a Cosmog from the Cosmog research, and a handful of candy, so you can attack the side you didn’t choose (the Necrozma counters apply to both forms) to collect the opposite Fusion Energy, and also get the opposite form.
In short: don’t worry too much, just choose the one you want right away.
All done? There’s still plenty to do during Go Fest 2024 – including following the habitat schedule, acquiring Solar and Lunar Fusion Energy, and effectively combating raids with strong Necrozma counters. For ticket holders, there’s also Marshadow’s “A Shadowy Caper” quest to complete for those who logged in on Saturday.
