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

Pokémon GO Tour: Unova Event 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, taking place March 1st and 2nd. These highly anticipated Legendary Pokémon will be available in raids, offering players a chance to catch both their standard and shiny forms. The event also includes 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 fans. Their potential impact on the game's meta has generated considerable excitement. While a surprise early release occurred in 2023, their official debut within the Unova-themed event is perfectly timed.

Niantic's announcement confirms the Legendary duo's appearance during the event's timeframe (10 AM to 6 PM local time). Beyond simply catching them in raids, trainers can also participate in fusion events.

Kyurem Fusion:

Similar to last year's Necrozma fusion, players can fuse Black Kyurem with Zekrom (requiring 1,000 Volt Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Zekrom Candy) and White Kyurem with Reshiram (using 1,000 Blaze Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Reshiram Candy). These fusions grant access to unique attacks (Freeze Shock for Black Kyurem's fusion, Ice Burn for White Kyurem's fusion) and are easily reversible. The necessary Fusion Energy is earned by defeating Kyurem in raids.

Event Bonuses:

The GO Tour: Unova event also features two special backgrounds themed after Pokémon Black and White. Successfully fusing either Black or White Kyurem unlocks one background, with a bonus third background awarded for completing both fusions.

With the event just weeks away, trainers should prepare for an exciting weekend filled with new challenges and rewards!
