Unova Legendaries Debut in Pokémon GO Tour

Summary

• Black and White Kyurem are joining Pokémon GO as part of the global GO Tour: Unova event on March 1st and 2nd.
• These legendary Pokémon will appear in raids, with shiny versions available.
• Special event backgrounds inspired by Pokémon Black and White will also be available.

Niantic has announced the highly anticipated arrival of Black and White Kyurem in Pokémon GO, as part of the GO Tour: Unova event. These Pokémon have been long-awaited by fans, who anticipate a significant impact on the game's meta.

Black and White Kyurem are among the most popular legendary Pokémon in the franchise. A surprise accidental release in 2023 briefly fueled excitement, but subsequent delays led to some disappointment. Thankfully, their official debut is imminent.

Niantic's recent announcement confirms the inclusion of Black and White Kyurem in the GO Tour: Unova event. The event's focus on the Unova region (featured in Pokémon Black and White) makes their appearance a fitting addition. Players can encounter them in raids, with a chance to catch shiny variants. The global GO Tour: Unova event runs March 1st and 2nd, from 10 AM to 6 PM local time.

Black and White Kyurem: Fusion and Beyond

Similar to last year's Necrozma fusion, players can fuse Kyurem. Black Kyurem fuses with Zekrom using 1,000 Volt Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Zekrom Candy. White Kyurem fuses with Reshiram using 1,000 Blaze Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Reshiram Candy. These fusions are reversible at no cost. The required energy is obtained by defeating Kyurem in raids.

Fused forms gain new attacks: Black Kyurem learns Freeze Shock, while White Kyurem learns Ice Burn. Two special event backgrounds, inspired by Pokémon Black and White, will also be available. Unlocking both requires fusing both Black and White Kyurem, granting access to a unique third background. With the GO Tour: Unova event just weeks away, fans can soon experience this exciting new content.
