New Legendary Pokémon in Pokémon GO

Black and White Kyurem's Grand Entrance

Following last December's announcement, Niantic has revealed the exciting addition of Black Kyurem, White Kyurem, and Shiny Meloetta to the February 2025 Unova Tour event.

From February 21st to 23rd, 2025, attendees in New Taipei City, Taiwan, and Los Angeles, USA, can participate in five-star raids to catch Kyurem and then fuse it into its Black or White forms.

Fusion requires catching a base Kyurem and then combining it with either Zekrom or Reshiram. This unlocks powerful new moves: Freeze Shock (Black Kyurem) and Ice Burn (White Kyurem). Here's the breakdown:

• 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 Energy is earned by defeating Black or White Kyurem in raids. Reversing the fusion process is free. Shiny Kyurem, Reshiram, and Zekrom will also have increased encounter rates during the event.

The global event, Pokémon GO Tour: Unova – Global, runs from March 1st to 2nd, 2025, and is open to all players without requiring a ticket.

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 melodious Pokémon. The research doesn't expire, allowing players to complete it at their own pace.
