Legendary Pokémon Arrive in Pokémon GO

Black and White Kyurem's Grand Entrance

Following December 2024's announcement of the February 2025 Unova Tour, Niantic has revealed exciting new details. Black Kyurem, White Kyurem, and Shiny Meloetta will make their Pokémon GO debuts!

From February 21st to 23rd, 2025, attendees of the in-person events in New Taipei City, Taiwan, and Los Angeles, USA, can capture and fuse Kyurem into its powerful Black and White forms. To begin, trainers must defeat Black or White Kyurem in five-star raids to obtain the base Kyurem.

Once you've caught Kyurem, the fusion process begins! Choose to fuse it with either Zekrom (for Black Kyurem) or Reshiram (for White Kyurem). This fusion unlocks unique attacks: Freeze Shock (Black Kyurem) and Ice Burn (White Kyurem).

Here's what you'll need:

• 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

Earn Fusion Energy by conquering Black or White Kyurem in raids. Reversing the fusion back to base Kyurem requires no energy or candy. Plus, enjoy increased chances of encountering Shiny Kyurem, Reshiram, and Zekrom during the event!

Can't make it to Taiwan or Los Angeles? Don't worry! The Pokémon GO Tour: Unova - Global event runs from March 1st to 2nd, 2025, and is free for all players.

Meloetta, the Melody Pokémon, Joins the Celebration

In addition to Kyurem's alternate forms, Shiny Meloetta makes its Pokémon GO debut! In-person event ticket holders can complete a Masterwork Research task to encounter this enchanting Pokémon. Don't worry about time constraints; the Masterwork Research doesn't expire.

Iconic Legendaries from Pokémon Black and White 2

Kyurem, Reshiram, Zekrom, and Meloetta originally appeared in Pokémon Black and White, the fifth generation of the main series games featuring the Unova region. The first three are obtainable during the main storyline, while Meloetta is a post-game reward. Pokémon Black and White 2 introduced Kyurem's alternate forms, each learning unique attacks (Ice Burn and Freeze Shock), mirroring their Pokémon GO counterparts.
