Pokémon Go Tour: Unova Debuts Black and White Kyurem with New Adventure Effects

The legendary Pokémon Black Kyurem and White Kyurem are set to make their much-anticipated debut during the Pokémon Go Tour: Unova – Global event. These powerful Pokémon come with exciting new Adventure Effects that enhance your gameplay outside of battles. To maximize your earnings, don't forget to utilize the Tour Pass.

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, aiding you in achieving those coveted Excellent Throws. Both effects can be extended in 10-minute increments, up to a maximum of two hours at a time, with a total duration of 24 hours.

During the event, you'll have the opportunity to challenge Black Kyurem and White Kyurem in five-star raids to gather Fusion Energy. Once you fuse Zekrom or Reshiram with a Kyurem that knows Glaciate, the moves Freeze Shock or Ice Burn will replace Glaciate. These moves will revert back to Glaciate once the Pokémon are separated. It's important to note that currently, Kyurem cannot learn these moves through Charged TM or Elite Charged TM.

Participants can choose between two event badges: the Black Version, which features Reshiram, or the White Version, which features Zekrom. If you opt for the Black Version, 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 post-battle against White Kyurem also knowing Glaciate.

To enhance your progression, 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. Achieving Major Milestones will increase your Catch XP and extend the duration of Freeze Shock or Ice Burn.

For those looking for maximum benefits, consider upgrading to the Tour Pass Deluxe. This premium version offers immediate encounters with Victini, more 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 a chosen friend from your Friend List, enhancing your next trade.

The Pokémon Go Tour: Unova – Global event will run from February 24th to March 2nd, offering a thrilling experience for all Pokémon trainers.
