Pokémon Go Tour: Unova Debuts Black and White Kyurem with New Adventure Effects

The legendary Black Kyurem and White Kyurem are set to make their debut during the Pokémon Go Tour: Unova – Global, bringing with them exciting new Adventure Effects that enhance your gameplay outside of battles. Don't miss out on using the Tour Pass to maximize your earnings and enjoy the full potential of these unique features.

Black Kyurem's Freeze Shock envelops the area in electrically charged ice for 10 minutes, immobilizing wild Pokémon and making them much easier to catch. On the other hand, White Kyurem's Ice Burn slows down the target ring during encounters, simplifying the challenge of landing those coveted Excellent Throws. Both effects can be extended in 10-minute increments, up to two hours at a time, with a maximum duration of 24 hours.

During the event, you can challenge Black Kyurem and White Kyurem in five-star raids to gather Fusion Energy. Once you fuse Zekrom or Reshiram with a Kyurem that knows Glaciate, it will replace Glaciate with either Freeze Shock or Ice Burn. Remember, these moves revert to Glaciate when the Pokémon are separated. It's important to note that currently, Kyurem cannot learn these moves through Charged TM or Elite Charged TM.

As part of the event, you'll have the opportunity to choose between two event badges: the Black Version (Reshiram) or the White Version (Zekrom). Opting for the Black Version means Kyurem encountered after defeating Black Kyurem will know Glaciate, and you'll receive Reshiram-themed Special Research rewards. Choosing the White Version will grant you Zekrom-themed Special Research rewards, and Kyurem encountered post-defeat of White Kyurem will also know Glaciate.

To enhance your event experience, make sure to use the Tour Pass, which unlocks additional rewards and boosts your Adventure Effects. You can earn Tour Points by catching Pokémon, participating in raids, and hatching Eggs, or you can accelerate your progress with quick Pass Tasks. Reaching Major Milestones will increase your Catch XP and extend the duration of Freeze Shock or Ice Burn.

For those looking for the ultimate experience, consider upgrading to the Tour Pass Deluxe. This premium version offers an instant encounter with Victini, additional event-themed encounters, an exclusive avatar item, and the new Lucky Trinket. The Lucky Trinket is a one-time-use item that allows you to become Lucky Friends with a chosen friend from your Friend List, enhancing your next trade.

The Pokémon Go Tour: Unova – Global event is scheduled to run from February 24th to March 2nd. Don't miss your chance to dive into this exciting adventure and make the most of these unique opportunities.
