Exciting News: Black and White Kyurem Coming to Pokémon GO!
- Mark your calendars! Black and White Kyurem will debut in Pokémon GO during the global GO Tour: Unova on March 1 and 2.
- These legendary Pokémon will appear in raids, and trainers will have the opportunity to catch shiny variants.
- Participating players can earn exclusive backgrounds inspired by the Pokémon Black and White games.
Niantic has excitingly confirmed that the long-anticipated Black and White Kyurem will arrive in Pokémon GO as part of the upcoming GO Tour: Unova event. Fans have speculated about their inclusion for quite some time, making this an eagerly awaited update that could significantly influence the game’s competitive landscape.
Revered as two of the most iconic legendary Pokémon in franchise history, Black and White Kyurem’s arrival has been on players’ wishlists. Niantic sparked speculation in 2023 by inadvertently releasing these Pokémon within the game. Although this initially fueled hopes for an earlier release, players found themselves disheartened when Kyurem was absent from subsequent events. Fortunately, the wait is almost over, as trainers will soon have the chance to obtain both the White and Black versions.
Event Details: GO Tour – Unova
In a recent announcement via social media, Niantic detailed the debut of both legendary Pokémon during the GO Tour: Unova event. This event will highlight the Unova region, celebrated in the original Pokémon Black and White games. From March 1 to 2, between 10 AM and 6 PM local time, trainers will find Black and White Kyurem featured prominently in raids, with shiny versions also available for capture.

Fusion Mechanics with Black and White Kyurem
Similar to the fusion mechanics introduced in the previous event featuring Necrozma, players will now be able to fuse Black and White Kyurem with their respective counterparts. Specifically, trainers can combine Black Kyurem with Zekrom using the following resources:
- 1,000 Volt Fusion Energy
- 30 Kyurem Candy
- 30 Zekrom Candy
Similarly, White Kyurem can be fused with Reshiram by utilizing:
- 1,000 Blaze Fusion Energy
- 30 Kyurem Candy
- 30 Reshiram Candy
This fusion will remain until the players decide to separate the Pokémon, a process that will be free of charge. The necessary fusion energy can be collected by defeating Kyurem in raids.
Exclusive Backgrounds and Move Sets
Fusions will also introduce unique moves—Black Kyurem will gain access to Freeze Shock, while White Kyurem will learn Ice Burn. The event will feature two distinct backgrounds inspired by the essence of Pokémon Black and White. Players fusing a Black Kyurem with Zekrom or a White Kyurem with Reshiram will unlock these backgrounds, along with an additional unique background for those who successfully fuse both forms.
As the GO Tour: Unova event approaches, trainers are sure to be excited about the incoming content. Get ready for an unforgettable experience filled with legendary Pokémon and exclusive rewards!
