Pokemon GO Leak Teases New Adventure Effects

Summary

• A leak suggests new Adventure Effects are coming to Pokémon GO with the release of Black and White Kyurem.
• White Kyurem's Ice Burn slows target rings during Pokémon encounters.
• Black Kyurem's Freeze Shock paralyzes Pokémon during encounters.

A Pokémon GO leak hints at exciting new Adventure Effects arriving alongside the debut of Black and White Kyurem in early March 2025. These Legendary Pokémon, resulting from Kyurem's fusion with Zekrom or Reshiram (already in Pokémon GO), will finally appear during the GO Tour: Unova event on March 1st and 2nd. The leak, originating from Pokeminers, reveals "Ice Burn" for White Kyurem, slowing target rings for easier catches, and "Freeze Shock" for Black Kyurem, temporarily paralyzing Pokémon. These effects offer significant advantages in catching challenging Pokémon.

Pokémon GO Leak Reveals New Adventure Effects for Black and White Kyurem

• White Kyurem: Ice Burn (slows target rings during encounters)
• Black Kyurem: Freeze Shock (paralyzes Pokémon during encounters)

Beyond the Adventure Effects, the leak also mentions a "Lucky Trinket" item, enabling instant Lucky Friend status with Great Friends or higher for a limited time. This is a significant boon, as achieving Lucky Friend status is typically rare, even for long-time Best Friends.

While the GO Tour: Unova event is still some time off, the Corviknight evolution line arrives January 21st during the Steely Resolve event, alongside Deoxys and Dialga in five-star raids. Additionally, Dynamax versions of the Legendary Bird Trio are available in Max Raids from January 20th to February 3rd.
