Every February, Pokémon Go surprises its players with the annual Go Tour, featuring a different region from the Pokémon franchise. This time, the spotlight is on the Unova region.
As Unova takes center stage, the legendary fusion Pokémon from this region is making its global debut—Black and White Kyurem. Known for being a powerful force, this legendary Pokémon is highly sought after, and here’s how you can obtain it.
1. How to obtain Black Kyurem in Pokemon Go?
Players can get a Black Kyurem in Pokemon Go by fusing Zekrom with Base Form Kyurem using Volt Fusion Energy. To get Base Form Kyurem and Zekrom, players must participate in the respective raid battles to defeat and catch them successfully.
During the Pokémon GO Tour: Unova event (to be held on March 1 and March 2), Black Kyurem will be featured as a five-star raid boss. If you successfully defeat Black Kyurem in these raids, you’ll have the chance to catch Kyurem in its base form.
2. How to fuse Kyurem with Zekrom?
After defeating Black Kyurem in raids, trainers will receive Volt Fusion Energy, which is crucial for the fusion process. Once you have enough Volt Fusion Energy and Candies, you can fuse both Pokémon.
The following resources are required to fuse Kyurem and Zekrom-
- 1,000 Volt Fusion Energy
- 30 Kyurem Candies
- 30 Zekrom Candies
3. Is there a shiny Black Kyurem in Pokemon Go?
If players have a shiny Kyurem and fuse it with Zekrom, they will obtain a shiny Black Kyurem. It’s important to note that Zekrom does not need to be shiny for this fusion to produce a shiny Black Kyurem.
When you defeat Black Kyurem in raids, you can encounter and catch a regular Kyurem, which can be shiny. The chances of finding a shiny Kyurem are about 1 in 20 or 5% chance per raid.
