Pokemon GO Leak Teases New Adventure Effects

Summary

• A leak suggests new Adventure Effects are coming to Pokémon GO with the arrival 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 tied to the upcoming release 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 debut during the GO Tour: Unova event on March 1st and 2nd. The leak, from Pokeminers, reveals "Ice Burn" for White Kyurem, slowing the target ring for easier catches, and "Freeze Shock" for Black Kyurem, temporarily paralyzing the Pokémon. These Adventure Effects, temporary bonuses activated by specific Pokémon, offer significant advantages in catching challenging creatures.

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

• White Kyurem: Ice Burn (slows target ring 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 (for Great Friends or higher) for a limited time. This could prove invaluable, as achieving Lucky Friend status remains rare, even for long-time Best Friends, significantly improving the chances of successful Lucky Trades.

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