Summary
- New Adventure Effects could be coming to Pokemon GO, according to a leak.
- White Kyurem's Ice Burn slows down the target ring in Pokemon encounters.
- Black Kyurem's Freeze Shock paralyzes Pokemon during encounters.
A recent leak suggests that Pokemon GO is set to introduce new Adventure Effects with the arrival of Black and White Kyurem in early March 2025. These powerful Legendary Pokemon, resulting from the fusion of Kyurem with either Zekrom or Reshiram, will make their debut during the upcoming GO Tour: Unova event on March 1 and 2.
In the world of Pokemon, Black and White Kyurem have been eagerly awaited by fans, and now Niantic has confirmed their addition to the AR game. Alongside their introduction, a leak from Pokeminers hints at two new Adventure Effects: "Ice Burn" and "Freeze Shock." These effects are tied to White Kyurem and Black Kyurem, respectively. Adventure Effects in Pokemon GO are special abilities that provide temporary bonuses to players when activated by specific Pokemon.
According to the leak, Ice Burn, associated with White Kyurem, would slow down the target ring during Pokemon encounters, making it easier to achieve Great or Excellent throws. On the other hand, Freeze Shock, linked to Black Kyurem, would paralyze the Pokemon, preventing it from knocking back a Pokeball or moving around the screen, which could be extremely helpful when trying to catch elusive Pokemon.

In addition to the new Adventure Effects, the leak also mentions a new item called the "Lucky Trinket." This item would allow players to instantly become Lucky Friends with another user, provided they are already Great Friends or higher. However, the effect is time-limited, lasting only a few hours. Achieving Lucky Friends status is rare even among Best Friends, making the Lucky Trinket a valuable tool for ensuring Lucky trades.
While the GO Tour: Unova event is still a few months away, Pokemon GO fans have other exciting updates to look forward to. The evolution line for Corviknight will debut during the Steely Resolve event on January 21. Five-star Raids featuring Deoxys and Dialga will also be available. Additionally, Pokemon GO has announced Dynamax versions of the Legendary Bird Trio, available in Max Raids from January 20 to February 3, giving players a chance to engage in these special battles.
