New Legendary Pokémon in Pokémon GO

Black and White Kyurem's Grand Entrance

Following the December 2024 announcement of the February 2025 Unova Tour, Niantic has revealed exciting additions: 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 chance to catch 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 your path: fuse with Zekrom for Black Kyurem, or Reshiram for White Kyurem. Fusion unlocks exclusive attacks: Freeze Shock (Black Kyurem) and Ice Burn (White Kyurem). Here's the breakdown:

• Black Kyurem: 1,000 Volt Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, 30 Zekrom Candy
• White Kyurem: 1,000 Blaze Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, 30 Reshiram Candy

Earn Fusion Energy by conquering Black or White Kyurem in raids. Reversion to base Kyurem is free (no energy or candy cost). Plus, enjoy increased Shiny rates for Kyurem, Reshiram, and Zekrom during the event!

For those unable to attend the in-person events, a global event, Pokémon GO Tour: Unova – Global, will run from March 1st to 2nd, 2025. This event is free for all players!

Meloetta, the Melody Pokémon, Joins the Celebration!

Adding to the excitement, Shiny Meloetta makes its Pokémon GO debut! In-person event ticket holders can complete a Masterwork Research to encounter this melodious Pokémon. Don't worry about time constraints; the Masterwork Research won'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 games set in 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, capable of learning Ice Burn and Freeze Shock – just like their Pokémon GO counterparts!

With the Tao Trio's alternate forms arriving in Pokémon GO for a limited time in February and globally in March, the Unova adventure is complete!
