To obtain base Kyurem, players must defeat either Black or White Kyurem in five-star raids. Then, Kyurem can be fused with either Zekrom or Reshiram:

Fusion Energies are earned by defeating Black or White Kyurem in raids. Reverting Kyurem to its base form is free. Shiny Kyurem, Reshiram, and Zekrom will have increased encounter rates during the event.

A global event, Pokémon GO Tour: Unova - Global, will run from March 1st to 2nd, offering free access to these Pokémon for all players.

Shiny Meloetta's Grand Entrance

Shiny Meloetta debuts in Pokémon GO! In-person event attendees can complete a Masterwork Research to encounter this Pokémon. The research doesn't expire, allowing players to complete it at their own pace.

Iconic Unova Legendaries

Kyurem, Reshiram, Zekrom, and Meloetta originated in Pokémon Black and White, the fifth generation of Pokémon games. Kyurem's alternate forms, with their unique moves (Ice Burn and Freeze Shock), were introduced in Pokémon Black and White 2. This event brings a complete Unova experience to Pokémon GO.
