Pokémon GO Debuts Legendary Duo for Tour: Unova Event

Pokémon GO Tour: Unova Event Brings Black and White Kyurem

Get ready, Pokémon GO trainers! Black and White Kyurem are finally arriving in Pokémon GO as part of the global GO Tour: Unova event, taking place March 1st and 2nd. These highly anticipated Legendary Pokémon will be available in raids, offering players a chance to catch both their standard and shiny forms. The event also features special in-game backgrounds inspired by the original Pokémon Black and White games.

The arrival of Black and White Kyurem fulfills a long-standing wish for many fans. While a surprise early release occurred in 2023, their official inclusion in the GO Tour: Unova event is a significant addition to the game's roster. Their powerful potential to reshape the game's meta has generated considerable excitement within the community.

The GO Tour: Unova event, running from 10 AM to 6 PM local time on March 1st and 2nd, focuses on the Unova region, making Kyurem's appearance a fitting addition. Beyond simply catching them, trainers can also fuse Kyurem with other Legendary Pokémon.

Fusion Mechanics:

  • Black Kyurem: Fuse with Zekrom using 1,000 Volt Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Zekrom Candy. Learns the move Freeze Shock.
  • White Kyurem: Fuse with Reshiram using 1,000 Blaze Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Reshiram Candy. Learns the move Ice Burn.

The required Fusion Energy is obtained by defeating Kyurem in raids. These fused forms persist until manually separated, a process that incurs no cost.

Event Bonuses:

In addition to the Legendary Pokémon and fusion mechanics, the event includes two special backgrounds themed after Pokémon Black and White. Unlocking both requires fusing both Black and White Kyurem with their respective partners. A unique third background is awarded for completing both fusions.

With the GO Tour: Unova event fast approaching, trainers have just weeks to prepare for this exciting addition to the Pokémon GO experience.
