Niantic has announced the highly anticipated arrival of Black and White Kyurem in Pokémon GO, as part of the GO Tour: Unova event. Their release has been eagerly awaited by fans, as these Pokémon have the potential to significantly impact the game's meta.
Black and White Kyurem are among the most popular legendary Pokémon in the franchise's history. While a surprise accidental release occurred in 2023, fueling speculation, subsequent events left many fans disheartened. Now, their official debut is finally here.
Niantic's recent announcement confirms the addition of Black and White Kyurem to Pokémon GO during the GO Tour: Unova event. The event's focus on the Unova region (featured in Pokémon Black and White) makes their appearance a fitting addition. Players can encounter Black and White Kyurem in raids, with a chance to catch their shiny variants. The global GO Tour: Unova event runs March 1st and 2nd, from 10 AM to 6 PM local time.
Black and White Kyurem: Fusion and Beyond
Similar to last year's Necrozma fusion, players can fuse Kyurem. Black Kyurem fuses with Zekrom using 1,000 Volt Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Zekrom Candy. White Kyurem fuses with Reshiram using 1,000 Blaze Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Reshiram Candy. These fusions persist until manually separated (at no cost). The required energy is obtained by defeating Kyurem in raids.
These fused forms boast new attacks: Black Kyurem's fusion learns Freeze Shock, while White Kyurem's learns Ice Burn. The event also offers special backgrounds inspired by Pokémon Black and White. Fusing Black Kyurem with Zekrom or White Kyurem with Reshiram unlocks a background; unlocking both yields a unique third background. With the GO Tour: Unova event just weeks away, Pokémon GO players can soon experience this exciting new content.
