Pokemon Go Unova Tour Features Black and White Kyurem

Get Ready for the Pokémon GO Tour: Unova! Black and White Kyurem Debut!

Black Kyurem and White Kyurem are finally arriving in Pokémon GO during the Pokémon GO Tour: Unova, alongside a Shiny Meloetta! Learn how to capture and fuse these legendary Pokémon below.

Legendary Pokémon Debut

Following the December 2024 announcement of the Unova Tour (February 2025), Niantic has revealed the exciting addition of Black Kyurem, White Kyurem, and Shiny Meloetta. From February 21st to 23rd, 2025, attendees of the in-person events in New Taipei City, Taiwan, and Los Angeles, USA, can participate in special raids and fusion events.

Catching and Fusing Kyurem

To obtain Kyurem, players must defeat either Black or White Kyurem in five-star raids. Once caught, Kyurem can 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 Energies are earned by defeating Black or White Kyurem in raids. Reversing the fusion process is free. Increased Shiny rates for Kyurem, Reshiram, and Zekrom will also be available during the event.

Global Event and Shiny Meloetta

For those unable to attend the in-person events, a ticket-free global event, Pokémon GO Tour: Unova - Global, will run from March 1st to 2nd, 2025.

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

Unova Region Legendaries

Kyurem, Reshiram, Zekrom, and Meloetta originally appeared in Pokémon Black and White, the fifth generation of Pokémon games set in the Unova region. 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 lets players fully explore the Unova region's legendary Pokémon.
