Legendary Pokémon Debut at Pokémon GO

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

The arrival of Black and White Kyurem has been a long-awaited event for many fans, particularly given their potential to significantly impact the game's competitive landscape. These legendary Pokémon were briefly and unexpectedly available in 2023, fueling anticipation for their official release.

During the GO Tour: Unova event (10 AM to 6 PM local time), trainers can participate in raids to encounter Black and White Kyurem. Furthermore, the event allows for the fusion of these Pokémon with Zekrom and Reshiram, respectively.

Fusion Mechanics:

  • Black Kyurem: Fusion with Zekrom requires 1,000 Volt Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Zekrom Candy. The resulting fusion learns the move Freeze Shock.
  • White Kyurem: Fusion with Reshiram requires 1,000 Blaze Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Reshiram Candy. The resulting fusion learns the move Ice Burn.

The fusion is reversible at no cost. The necessary Fusion Energy is obtained by defeating Kyurem in raids.

Beyond the legendary Pokémon, the GO Tour: Unova event offers two unique backgrounds themed after Pokémon Black and White. Completing both fusions unlocks a third, exclusive background. With the event just weeks away, trainers can look forward to a thrilling weekend filled with exciting challenges and rewarding catches.
