Kyurem's Alternate Forms Debut

Following the December 2024 announcement of the February 2025 Unova Tour, Niantic has revealed the highly anticipated arrival 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, will have the chance to catch and fuse Kyurem into its Black and White forms. Capturing the base Kyurem requires defeating either Black or White Kyurem in five-star raids.

Once you've caught a Kyurem, you can fuse it with either Zekrom or Reshiram. Fusion unlocks powerful new attacks: Freeze Shock (Black Kyurem) and Ice Burn (White Kyurem). Here's the breakdown of fusion requirements:

• Black Kyurem: 1,000 Volt Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Zekrom Candy
• White Kyurem: 1,000 Blaze Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Reshiram Candy

Fusion Energies are earned by defeating Black or White Kyurem in raids. Reversion to the base Kyurem form requires no Fusion Energy or Candy. Shiny Kyurem, Reshiram, and Zekrom will also have increased encounter rates during the event.

For those unable to attend the in-person events, the Pokémon GO Tour: Unova – Global event will run from March 1st to 2nd, 2025, and is free for all players!

Meloetta, the Melody Pokémon, Joins the Celebration!

Shiny Meloetta makes its Pokémon GO debut! In-person event ticket holders can complete a Masterwork Research to encounter this Pokémon. While the in-person event is short, the Masterwork Research will not expire, allowing players to complete it at their own pace.

Iconic Legendaries from Pokémon Black and White 2

Kyurem, Reshiram, Zekrom, and Meloetta originally appeared in Pokémon Black and White, the fifth generation of Pokémon games featuring the Unova region. The Tao Trio's alternate forms are available for a limited time in February (in-person events) and globally in March, offering a complete Unova experience in Pokémon GO!
