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

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 legendary Pokémon will be available in raids, with a chance to snag their shiny forms! Plus, celebrate with event-exclusive backgrounds inspired by Pokémon Black and White.

The highly anticipated arrival of Black and White Kyurem follows months of speculation and excitement. Their potential to significantly impact the game's meta has kept trainers on the edge of their seats. While a surprise early release occurred in 2023, their official debut during GO Tour: Unova is a welcome confirmation.

Niantic's announcement confirms the legendary duo's appearance in raids during the Unova-themed event. This thematic tie-in makes their inclusion a perfect fit. Trainers will have the opportunity to catch both Black and White Kyurem, including their elusive shiny counterparts. Mark your calendars: the global event runs March 1st and 2nd, 10 AM to 6 PM local time.

Fusion Frenzy: Kyurem's Transformations

Similar to last year's Necrozma fusion, trainers can fuse Kyurem with other legendary Pokémon! Black Kyurem combines with Zekrom using 1,000 Volt Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Zekrom Candy, learning the powerful Freeze Shock attack. White Kyurem fuses with Reshiram, requiring 1,000 Blaze Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Reshiram Candy, and gains the Ice Burn attack. These fusions are reversible at no cost. The necessary Fusion Energy is earned by defeating Kyurem in raids.

Exclusive Event Rewards: Snag Those Backgrounds!

Beyond the legendary Pokémon, the GO Tour: Unova event offers two special backgrounds themed after Pokémon Black and White. Unlock these by fusing Black Kyurem with Zekrom or White Kyurem with Reshiram. Unlocking both fusions grants access to a third, unique background!

With the GO Tour: Unova event just around the corner, trainers have much to look forward to. Prepare for an exciting weekend of raids, fusions, and exclusive rewards!
