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 battle. Make sure to leverage the Tour Pass to maximize your earnings throughout the event.
Black Kyurem's Freeze Shock ability envelops wild Pokémon in electrically charged ice for 10 minutes, immobilizing them and making them easier to catch. On the other hand, White Kyurem's Ice Burn slows down the target ring during encounters, facilitating the execution of Excellent Throws. Both effects can be extended in 10-minute increments, up to two hours at a time, with a maximum total duration of 24 hours.
During the event, you can challenge Black Kyurem and White Kyurem in five-star raids to gather Fusion Energy. By fusing Zekrom or Reshiram with a Kyurem that knows Glaciate, you'll unlock Freeze Shock or Ice Burn, which will replace Glaciate. These moves will revert back to Glaciate once the Pokémon are separated. Note that currently, Kyurem cannot learn these moves through Charged TM or Elite Charged TM.
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, with Kyurem encountered after defeating White Kyurem also knowing Glaciate.
To enhance your progression, utilize the Tour Pass, which unlocks various rewards and amplifies your Adventure Effects. Earn Tour Points by catching Pokémon, participating in raids, and hatching Eggs, or accelerate your progress with quick Pass Tasks. Reaching Major Milestones will boost your Catch XP and extend the duration of Freeze Shock or Ice Burn.
For those seeking the ultimate experience, 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, enhancing your next trade.
The Pokémon Go Tour: Unova – Global event will take place from February 24th to March 2nd.
