Get Ready for the Pokémon GO Tour: Unova! Black and White Kyurem and Shiny Meloetta Arrive!

Prepare for the highly anticipated arrival of Black Kyurem and White Kyurem in Pokémon GO! These legendary Pokémon are making their debut alongside a Shiny Meloetta during the Pokémon GO Tour: Unova event. This guide will detail how to capture and fuse these powerful Pokémon.

Legendary Pokémon Debut

Following the December 2024 announcement of the February 2025 Unova Tour, 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, will have the unique opportunity to capture and fuse Kyurem into its alternative forms.

To obtain base Kyurem, players must conquer Black or White Kyurem in challenging five-star raids.

Kyurem Fusion: Black and White

Once you've captured Kyurem, the fusion process begins! Choose your path: fuse with Zekrom to create Black Kyurem, or Reshiram for White Kyurem. Each fusion unlocks powerful new attacks: Freeze Shock (Black) and Ice Burn (White).

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 is free of charge. Plus, enjoy increased Shiny rates for Kyurem, Reshiram, and Zekrom during the event!

Global Event and Shiny Meloetta

Can't make it to the in-person events? Don't worry! The Pokémon GO Tour: Unova – Global event runs from March 1st to 2nd, 2025, and is free for all trainers!

Shiny Meloetta is also making its debut! Ticket holders attending the in-person events can complete a Masterwork Research to encounter this melodious Pokémon. The research doesn't expire, allowing for completion at your own pace.

A Blast from the Past: Pokémon Black and White 2

Kyurem, Reshiram, Zekrom, and Meloetta originally appeared in Pokémon Black and White, the fifth generation of Pokémon games set in the Unova region. Their alternate forms, featuring Ice Burn and Freeze Shock, were introduced in Pokémon Black and White 2. Now, trainers can experience the full power of the Unova legendary Pokémon in Pokémon GO! Don't miss this limited-time opportunity!
