New Pokemon GO Leak Hints at Adventure Effects for Black and White Kyurem
A recent leak from Pokeminers suggests exciting new additions to Pokémon GO with the arrival of Black and White Kyurem in early March 2025. These Legendary Pokémon, the fusions of Kyurem with Zekrom and Reshiram respectively, will debut during the GO Tour: Unova event (March 1st and 2nd). The leak points to two new Adventure Effects:
-
Ice Burn (White Kyurem): This effect slows the target ring during Pokémon encounters, improving the chances of landing Great or Excellent throws.
-
Freeze Shock (Black Kyurem): This effect temporarily paralyzes the encountered Pokémon, preventing it from moving or knocking away Poké Balls.
These temporary bonuses could prove invaluable for catching challenging Pokémon.
The leak also reveals a potential new item: the "Lucky Trinket." This item would instantly grant Lucky Friend status with another player (provided they are already Great Friends or Best Friends), lasting for a limited time. This could be a game-changer, as achieving Lucky Friend status is usually a matter of chance.
Beyond Kyurem, other events are on the horizon:
-
Steely Resolve Event (January 21st): The Corviknight evolution line arrives. Five-star raids will feature Deoxys and Dialga.
-
Dynamax Legendary Bird Trio Raids (January 20th - February 3rd): Players can challenge Dynamax versions of the Legendary Birds.
With the GO Tour: Unova event still some time away, these leaks offer a tantalizing preview of what's to come in Pokémon GO.
