Pokémon GO Leak Hints at New Adventure Effects for Black and White Kyurem
A recent Pokémon GO leak suggests exciting new additions tied to the upcoming arrival of Black and White Kyurem. These Legendary Pokémon, slated for release in early March 2025 during the GO Tour: Unova event, are rumored to introduce unique Adventure Effects.
Specifically, data miners at Pokeminers uncovered two new effects:
-
White Kyurem's Ice Burn: This effect temporarily slows the target ring during Pokémon encounters, significantly improving the chances of landing Great or Excellent throws.
-
Black Kyurem's Freeze Shock: This effect paralyzes the encountered Pokémon, preventing it from fending off Poké Balls or moving around the screen.
These temporary bonuses would prove invaluable for capturing challenging Pokémon.
The leak also revealed a potentially game-changing item: the Lucky Trinket. This item allows players to instantly become Lucky Friends with another player, provided they are already Great Friends or better. While the effect is temporary (lasting only a few hours), the ability to guarantee a Lucky Trade, a typically rare occurrence, adds a significant strategic advantage.
While the GO Tour: Unova event remains some time off, Pokémon GO players have much to look forward to in the coming weeks. The Corviknight evolution line arrives on January 21st during the Steely Resolve event, alongside five-star raids featuring Deoxys and Dialga. Additionally, Dynamax versions of the Legendary Bird Trio are available in Max Raids from January 20th to February 3rd.
