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, 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 original Pokémon Black and White games.

The arrival of Black and White Kyurem fulfills a long-standing wish for many players. While a surprise early release occurred in 2023, their official debut within a themed event is a significant moment for the Pokémon GO community. Their inclusion promises to significantly impact the game's competitive landscape.

Niantic's announcement confirms the legendary Pokémon's appearance during the Unova-focused event. This thematic tie-in makes their inclusion perfectly fitting. The event runs globally from 10 AM to 6 PM local time on March 1st and 2nd.

Fusion and New Moves:

Similar to last year's Necrozma fusion event, trainers can fuse Kyurem with other legendary Pokémon. Black Kyurem can be combined with Zekrom using 1,000 Volt Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Zekrom Candy, learning the move Freeze Shock. White Kyurem fuses with Reshiram using 1,000 Blaze Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Reshiram Candy, learning Ice Burn. These fusions are reversible at no cost. The required fusion energy is obtained by defeating Kyurem in raids.

Event Bonuses:

In addition to the legendary Pokémon and their fusions, the GO Tour: Unova event will offer two special backgrounds themed after Pokémon Black and White. Completing both fusions unlocks all three unique backgrounds.

With the event just weeks away, Pokémon GO players can anticipate exciting new additions to their collection and a chance to reshape their gameplay strategies.
