What’s New

Black Kyurem and White Kyurem make their Pokémon GO debuts with Pokémon fusion!

Does anyone feel a chill in the air? Black Kyurem and White Kyurem will make their Pokémon GO debuts during Pokémon GO Tour: Unova! Ticket-holding Trainers at Pokémon GO Tour: Unova – Los Angeles will be some of the first to experience these forms of Kyurem through a phenomenon known as Pokémon fusion.

On your ticketed park day at Rose Bowl Stadium, you’ll have a chance to learn more about these forms of Kyurem in your event-exclusive Special Research story.

On March 1, 2025, Black Kyurem and White Kyurem will make their worldwide debuts for all Trainers in raids during Pokémon GO Tour: Unova – Global!

Learn more about the global event here.

Black Kyurem and White Kyurem will make their Pokémon GO debuts in five-star raids during Pokémon GO Tour: Unova!

Pokémon fusion is the ability to combine certain Pokémon into a single, more powerful form with an altered appearance. By using DNA Splicers, Kyurem can fuse with Zekrom using Volt Fusion Energy to become Black Kyurem, or it can fuse with Reshiram using Blaze Fusion Energy to become White Kyurem.

Black Kyurem and White Kyurem cannot be traded, transferred to the professor, or transferred to Pokémon HOME.

Trainers will have the opportunity to catch Kyurem* in its unfused form after defeating Black Kyurem or White Kyurem in raids.

Black Kyurem

Trainers can fuse Kyurem and Zekrom using 1,000 Volt Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Zekrom Candy.

White Kyurem

Trainers can fuse Kyurem and Reshiram using 1,000 Blaze Fusion Energy, 30 Kyurem Candy, and 30 Reshiram Candy.

Fused Kyurem will remain in this form until their Trainer separates them. Separating will not cost any Fusion Energy or Pokémon Candy.

*If you’re lucky, you might encounter a Shiny one!

A new appearance isn’t the only thing that happens when Pokémon fuse! When you fuse a Kyurem that knows the Charged Attack Glaciate with Zekrom or Reshiram, Glaciate will transform into a new attack!

Black Kyurem’s Freeze Shock

After fusing Zekrom with a Kyurem that knows the Charged Attack Glaciate, Glaciate will transform into the Charged Attack Freeze Shock. Freeze Shock will change back to Glaciate when Zekrom is separated from Kyurem.

White Kyurem’s Ice Burn

After fusing Reshiram with a Kyurem that knows the Charged Attack Glaciate, Glaciate will transform into the Charged Attack Ice Burn. Ice Burn will change back to Glaciate when Reshiram is separated from Kyurem.

*Smeargle that appear via surprise encounters in GO Snapshot can learn attacks from the Pokémon they appear with, but Smeargle can’t learn Freeze Shock or Ice Burn.

Volt Fusion Energy and Blaze Fusion Energy are very rare sources of power that can fuse Kyurem into its powerful alternate forms.

Trainers can obtain early access to Volt Fusion Energy and Blaze Fusion Energy after defeating Black Kyurem or White Kyurem in raids at this year’s in-person Pokémon GO Tour events in Los Angeles and New Taipei City.*

Starting with Pokémon GO Tour: Unova – Global, all Trainers will be able to earn Volt Fusion Energy or Blaze Fusion Energy by defeating Black Kyurem or White Kyurem in raids.

Discover new enigma Field Research during Pokémon GO Tour: Unova!

Throughout the city, a limited number of PokéStops may just give you enigma Field Research when you spin them—complete these tasks for encounters with the following Pokémon, who are guaranteed to have a Special Background.

Research

There’s two sides to every story…

When Professor Willow gets word of strange sightings across the world, a question arises: Could Reshiram or Zekrom be tied to these occurrences? Ticket-holding Trainers in Los Angeles can take part in an exclusive Special Research story, available to claim during their ticketed session at Rose Bowl Stadium!

Trainers in Los Angeles will also have access to the event’s Special Research story during Pokémon GO Tour: Unova – Global, taking place the following weekend.

Test your Unova knowledge in a park-wide trivia challenge!

Are you a force to be reckoned with? New Timed Research experiences will be available to ticket-holding Trainers while at Rose Bowl Stadium, awarding encounters with Incarnate Forme Tornadus, Incarnate Forme Thundurus, and Incarnate Forme Landorus!

Decipher clues about Pokémon in each habitat, and spin the corresponding PokéStops to progress in your research. Stuck on a clue? Try checking your Pokédex!

Please note that Timed Research expires. The tasks associated with these Timed Research opportunities must be completed and their rewards must be claimed before 5:00 p.m. PST on your ticketed event day at the venue. Trainers will only be allowed access to Rose Bowl Stadium and Brookside Golf Course to complete these Timed Researches during their ticketed event day.
