Instead, Necrozma lost its light when it exhausted its power protecting Poipole and Naganadel's world from a meteor. Necrozma's backstory makes no mention of Ultra Megalopolis, the ancient populace of which were the catalyst for the Legendary Pokémon's vicious nature and pillaging of light.This even extends to Gladion, who is Team Skull's enforcer in the games but is unaffiliated with and even hostile towards the villainous gang in the anime.
