Black and White Kyurem Debut
Following the December 2024 announcement, Niantic confirmed the arrival of Black Kyurem, White Kyurem, and Shiny Meloetta for the February 2025 Unova Tour. From February 21st to 23rd, 2025, attendees in New Taipei City, Taiwan, and Los Angeles, USA, can participate in five-star raids to capture Kyurem.
Kyurem Fusion
Captured Kyurem can then be fused with either Zekrom or Reshiram:
- Black Kyurem: Requires 1,000 Volt Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Zekrom Candy.
- White Kyurem: Requires 1,000 Blaze Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Reshiram Candy.
Fusion Energy is earned by defeating Black or White Kyurem in raids. Reversion to the base form is free. Increased shiny rates for Kyurem, Reshiram, and Zekrom are also in effect during the event.
A global event, Pokémon GO Tour: Unova - Global, runs March 1st-2nd, 2025, offering free access to these legendary Pokémon for all players.
Shiny Meloetta Arrives!
Shiny Meloetta makes its Pokémon GO debut! In-person event attendees can complete a Masterwork Research to encounter it. This research doesn't expire, allowing completion at players' convenience.
Iconic Unova Legendaries
Kyurem, Reshiram, Zekrom, and Meloetta originated in Pokémon Black and White. Black and White 2 introduced Kyurem's alternate forms, capable of learning Ice Burn and Freeze Shock, mirroring their Pokémon GO counterparts. This limited-time event brings the complete Unova experience to Pokémon GO.
