Pokemon GO Announces Two Legendary Debuts for the Tour: Unova Event

Pokemon GO Tour: Unova Brings Black and White Kyurem!

Get ready, 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 a chance to catch their 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 has been a long-awaited moment for many players. While a surprise early release occurred in 2023, their official debut within a themed event makes perfect sense, given the Unova region focus. The excitement is palpable, as these powerful Pokémon are poised to significantly impact the game's competitive landscape.

Niantic's announcement confirms the appearance of Black and White Kyurem in raids during the GO Tour: Unova event (March 1st and 2nd, 10 AM to 6 PM local time). Shiny hunting is on!

Fusion Frenzy:

Similar to last year's Necrozma fusion, players can fuse Kyurem with other Legendary Pokémon:

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

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

Event Exclusives:

Two unique backgrounds, themed after Pokémon Black and White, will be awarded during the event. Fusing both Black and White Kyurem unlocks all three backgrounds.

With the GO Tour: Unova event fast approaching, trainers should prepare for an exciting weekend of raids, fusions, and exclusive rewards!
