Black and White Kyurem Debut at Pokémon Go Tour: Unova Global Event

The legendary Black Kyurem and White Kyurem are making their much-anticipated debut during the Pokémon Go Tour: Unova – Global. These powerful Pokémon come with unique Adventure Effects that can significantly enhance your catching experience outside of battle. Don't miss out on utilizing the Tour Pass to maximize your earnings throughout the event.

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

During the event, you can challenge Black Kyurem and White Kyurem in five-star raids to gather Fusion Energy. This energy is crucial for fusing Zekrom or Reshiram with a Kyurem that knows Glaciate, which will then replace Glaciate with either Freeze Shock or Ice Burn. When the Pokémon are separated, the moves will revert back to Glaciate. It's important to note that Kyurem cannot learn these moves through Charged TM or Elite Charged TM at the moment.

You'll have the opportunity to choose between two event badges: Black Version (Reshiram) or 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, with Kyurem encountered after defeating White Kyurem also knowing Glaciate.

To enhance your event experience, make sure to use the Tour Pass, which unlocks various rewards and boosts your Adventure Effects. You can collect Tour Points by catching Pokémon, completing raids, and hatching Eggs, or 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 even more benefits, consider upgrading to the Tour Pass Deluxe. This premium version offers an immediate encounter with Victini, additional event-themed encounters, an avatar item, and the new Lucky Trinket. The Lucky Trinket is a one-time-use item that allows you to become Lucky Friends with someone from your Friend List, thereby enhancing your next trade.

Mark your calendars for the Pokémon Go Tour: Unova – Global, which runs from February 24th to March 2nd. Get ready to immerse yourself in this exciting event and leverage the powerful effects of Black Kyurem and White Kyurem to enhance your Pokémon Go experience.
