Legendary Pokemon Debut in Unova Event for Pokemon GO

Pokemon GO Tour: Unova Brings Black and White Kyurem!

Get ready, Pokémon GO trainers! Black and White Kyurem are finally arriving in Pokémon GO as part of the global GO Tour: Unova event, running March 1st and 2nd. These highly anticipated Legendary Pokémon will be appearing 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 original Pokémon Black and White games.

The arrival of Black and White Kyurem has been a long time coming, generating considerable excitement among fans. While a surprise early release occurred in 2023, their official debut within a dedicated event solidifies their place in the Pokémon GO world and promises to significantly impact the game's competitive landscape. Their popularity within the franchise makes this addition particularly significant.

Niantic's announcement confirms the appearance of Black and White Kyurem during the GO Tour: Unova event, perfectly themed to the Unova region. The event runs from 10 AM to 6 PM local time on March 1st and 2nd.

Fusion Frenzy: Kyurem's Transformations

Similar to last year's Necrozma fusion event, trainers 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 exclusive move Freeze Shock.
• White Kyurem: Fuse with Reshiram using 1,000 Blaze Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Reshiram Candy. Learns the exclusive move Ice Burn.

Fusion Energy is earned by defeating Kyurem in raids. Separating the fused forms is free.

Event Bonuses: Exclusive Backgrounds

Complete the fusion process with either Black or White Kyurem to unlock unique backgrounds themed after Pokémon Black and White. Unlocking both fusions grants access to a third, even more special background.

With the GO Tour: Unova event just around the corner, trainers have a few short weeks to prepare for the arrival of Black and White Kyurem and all the exciting new content!
