Summary
- A leak suggests new Adventure Effects are coming to Pokémon GO with the release of Black and White Kyurem.
- White Kyurem's Ice Burn slows target rings during Pokémon encounters.
- Black Kyurem's Freeze Shock paralyzes Pokémon during encounters.
A Pokémon GO leak hints at exciting new Adventure Effects arriving alongside the highly anticipated debut of Black and White Kyurem in early March 2025. These Legendary Pokémon, the fusion of Kyurem with Zekrom and Reshiram respectively, are finally making their way to the game following the confirmed appearance at the GO Tour: Unova event on March 1st and 2nd. This leak from Pokeminers suggests these powerful Pokémon will bring with them significant gameplay advantages.
The leak details two new Adventure Effects: "Ice Burn," associated with White Kyurem, and "Freeze Shock," linked to Black Kyurem. These temporary bonuses will significantly aid in catching Pokémon. Ice Burn slows the target ring during encounters, increasing the chances of successful Great or Excellent throws. Freeze Shock, on the other hand, completely paralyzes the target Pokémon, preventing it from escaping or interfering with the catch attempt.
Pokémon GO Leak Reveals New Adventure Effects for Black and White Kyurem
- White Kyurem: Ice Burn (slows target ring during encounters)
- Black Kyurem: Freeze Shock (paralyzes Pokémon during encounters)
Beyond the Adventure Effects, the leak also mentions a "Lucky Trinket" item. This item would instantly grant Lucky Friend status with another player who is already at Great Friend level or higher, although the effect is temporary, lasting only a few hours. This could prove incredibly useful given the rarity of achieving Lucky Friend status for guaranteed Lucky trades.
While the GO Tour: Unova event is still some time away, the Pokémon GO excitement continues! The Corviknight evolution line arrives on January 21st during the Steely Resolve event, alongside five-star raids featuring Deoxys and Dialga. Don't forget the Dynamax versions of the Legendary Bird Trio, available in Max Raids from January 20th to February 3rd.
