Pokémon GO Legendary Duo Debuts at Unova Event

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 in-game backgrounds inspired by the classic Pokémon Black and White games.

The arrival of Black and White Kyurem fulfills a long-standing wish for many Pokémon GO players. These legendary Pokémon have been highly sought after, and their introduction is expected to significantly impact the game's competitive landscape. While a surprise early release occurred in 2023, their official debut within the Unova-themed event makes perfect sense.

The GO Tour: Unova event runs globally from 10 AM to 6 PM local time on March 1st and 2nd. During this period, trainers can participate in raids to encounter Black and White Kyurem.

Fusion Frenzy:

Similar to last year's Necrozma fusion event, Pokémon GO will allow players to fuse Kyurem with other legendary Pokémon. Black Kyurem can be fused with Zekrom, requiring 1,000 Volt Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Zekrom Candy. White Kyurem can be fused with Reshiram, requiring 1,000 Blaze Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Reshiram Candy. These fusions are reversible at no cost. The necessary Fusion Energy is earned by defeating Kyurem in raids.

The fused forms boast unique attacks: Black Kyurem (fused with Zekrom) learns Freeze Shock, while White Kyurem (fused with Reshiram) learns Ice Burn.

Event Bonuses:

To celebrate the event, two special backgrounds inspired by Pokémon Black and White will be available. Unlocking both requires fusing both Black and White Kyurem with their respective partners, granting access to a third, unique background.

With the GO Tour: Unova event just around the corner, trainers have a limited-time opportunity to add these powerful Pokémon and exclusive rewards to their collections.
