Pokemon Go Unova Tour Features Black and White Kyurem

Pokémon GO Tour: Unova Introduces Black and White Kyurem and Shiny Meloetta

Get ready, trainers! Black and White Kyurem are finally arriving in Pokémon GO as part of the Pokémon GO Tour: Unova event, alongside the highly anticipated Shiny Meloetta. This guide will detail how to capture and fuse these powerful Legendary Pokémon.

Legendary Pokémon Debut

Following the December 2024 announcement, Niantic has confirmed the arrival of Black Kyurem, White Kyurem, and Shiny Meloetta in February 2025. From February 21st to 23rd, attendees of the in-person events in New Taipei City, Taiwan, and Los Angeles, USA, will have the chance to encounter and fuse Kyurem.

Capturing and Fusing Kyurem

To obtain base Kyurem, players must defeat either Black or White Kyurem in five-star raids. Once captured, Kyurem can be fused with either Zekrom (for Black Kyurem) or Reshiram (for White Kyurem), unlocking powerful new attacks: Freeze Shock (Black Kyurem) and Ice Burn (White Kyurem).

Here's the breakdown of fusion requirements:

• Black Kyurem: 1,000 Volt Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Zekrom Candy
• White Kyurem: 1,000 Blaze Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Reshiram Candy

Fusion Energy is earned by defeating Black or White Kyurem in raids. Reversing the fusion process back to base Kyurem requires no resources. Increased Shiny rates for Kyurem, Reshiram, and Zekrom will also be in effect during the event.

Global Event and Shiny Meloetta

Trainers unable to attend the in-person events can still participate in the Pokémon GO Tour: Unova – Global event from March 1st to 2nd. This free event is open to all players.

For the first time ever, Shiny Meloetta will be available! Ticket holders attending the in-person events can complete a Masterwork Research task to encounter this elusive Pokémon. The Masterwork Research will not expire, allowing players to complete it at their own pace.

Unova Region Legendaries

Kyurem, Reshiram, Zekrom, and Meloetta originally appeared in Pokémon Black and White, the fifth generation of Pokémon games set in the Unova region. Black and White Kyurem's alternate forms, capable of learning Ice Burn and Freeze Shock, debuted in Pokémon Black and White 2. This event brings the complete Unova experience to Pokémon GO.
