The legendary Pokémon, Black Kyurem and White Kyurem, are set to make their grand entrance during the Pokémon Go Tour: Unova – Global event. With their debut comes exciting new Adventure Effects that can enhance your gameplay outside of battle. To maximize your earnings, make sure to utilize the Tour Pass.
Black Kyurem's Freeze Shock ability envelops wild Pokémon in electrically charged ice for 10 minutes, rendering them motionless and easier to catch. On the other hand, White Kyurem's Ice Burn slows down the target ring during encounters, making it simpler to achieve those coveted Excellent Throws. Both effects can be extended in 10-minute increments, up to two hours at a time, with a maximum total duration of 24 hours.
Throughout the event, you'll have the opportunity to challenge Black Kyurem and White Kyurem in five-star raids to gather Fusion Energy. Once you fuse Zekrom or Reshiram with a Kyurem that knows Glaciate, the moves Freeze Shock or Ice Burn will replace Glaciate. These moves will revert back to Glaciate once the Pokémon are separated. It's worth noting that Kyurem cannot learn these new moves using Charged TM or Elite Charged TM at the moment.
Participants can also select between two event badges: Black Version (Reshiram) or White Version (Zekrom). Choosing the Black Version means that any Kyurem you encounter after defeating Black Kyurem will know Glaciate, and you'll receive Reshiram-themed Special Research rewards. Opting for the White Version grants Zekrom-themed Special Research rewards, and Kyurem encountered after defeating White Kyurem will also know Glaciate.
For those looking to progress more efficiently, the Tour Pass is invaluable. It unlocks additional rewards and enhances your Adventure Effects. You can earn Tour Points by catching Pokémon, completing raids, and hatching Eggs. Alternatively, you can accelerate your progress with quick Pass Tasks. Reaching Major Milestones will increase your Catch XP and extend the duration of Freeze Shock or Ice Burn.
For those seeking the ultimate experience, consider upgrading to the Tour Pass Deluxe. This premium version provides immediate access to an encounter with Victini, more event-themed encounters, an exclusive avatar item, and the new Lucky Trinket. The Lucky Trinket is a one-time-use item that allows you to become Lucky Friends with someone from your Friend List, enhancing your next trade.
Mark your calendars: the Pokémon Go Tour: Unova – Global event will take place from February 24th to March 2nd.
