Summary

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, formed by Kyurem's fusion with Zekrom or Reshiram (already in Pokémon GO), are finally joining the game during the GO Tour: Unova event on March 1st and 2nd. This leak from Pokeminers reveals two effects: "Ice Burn," linked to White Kyurem, slows the target ring during catches, improving accuracy; and "Freeze Shock," associated with Black Kyurem, temporarily paralyzes the Pokémon, making capture significantly easier.
