Pokémon GO Tour: Unova event is just around the corner, and trainers are excited to catch Black Kyurem and White Kyurem, the two new Legendary Pokémon making their debut in the game. To help trainers prepare for the event, we've put together a guide on how to battle against Black Kyurem and White Kyurem, their Adventure Effects, and how to choose between Reshiram and Zekrom. Black Kyurem and White Kyurem are Dragon- and Ice-type Pokémon, making them vulnerable to Fighting-, Rock-, Dragon-, Steel-, and Fairy-type attacks. When selecting Pokémon for your Kyurem Raid Battle lineup, it's essential to choose Pokémon that have a Fast Attack and a Charged Attack of one of these types to deal as much damage as possible.

Trainers can use the Adventure Effects of Black Kyurem and White Kyurem to their advantage. Black Kyurem's Adventure Effect, Freeze Shock, casts electrically charged ice for 10 minutes, making it easier to catch Pokémon. White Kyurem's Adventure Effect, Ice Burn, activates a chilling energy for 10 minutes, making it easier to land Excellent Throws. Trainers can extend the duration of these Adventure Effects by ranking up their Tour Pass. The Tour Pass is a free, limited-time progression track during Pokémon GO Tour: Unova that offers ranked rewards and bonuses. By completing Pass Tasks and collecting Tour Points, trainers can earn rewards, increase their rank, and improve their event bonuses.

When it comes to choosing between Reshiram and Zekrom, trainers should consider the meta and the usefulness of the two Pokémon. Black Kyurem is the #2 best ice-type attacker in the game and the #4 best dragon-type attacker in the game, making it a great choice for raids. White Kyurem, on the other hand, is the #1 ice-type attacker, making it a great choice for taking down dragon-types. In terms of Go Battle League, Black Kyurem is #2 and White Kyurem is #5 as the top Pokémon for Master League. Trainers should also consider the Adventure Effects of each Pokémon, as Black Kyurem's Freeze Shock increases catch rate by 25%, while White Kyurem's Ice Burn increases catch rate by 50%.

Here are some key points to consider when choosing between Reshiram and Zekrom: * Black Kyurem is a great choice for raids and Go Battle League * White Kyurem is a great choice for taking down dragon-types * Black Kyurem's Freeze Shock increases catch rate by 25% * White Kyurem's Ice Burn increases catch rate by 50% * The stats of Black and White Kyurem are based on the Kyurem, not the Reshiram or Zekrom. Trainers can also use the following Pokémon to battle against Black Kyurem and White Kyurem: * Lucario / Mega Lucario (Fighting/Steel) * Conkeldurr / Shadow Conkeldurr (Fighting) * Dusk Mane Necrozma (Psychic/Steel) * Metagross / Shadow Metagross (Steel/Psychic) * Dialga / Shadow Dialga (Steel/Dragon) * Excadrill / Shadow Excadrill (Ground/Steel) * Rayquaza / Mega Rayquaza (Flying/Dragon) * Latios / Mega Latios (Dragon/Psychic) * Palkia / Shadow Palkia (Water/Dragon) * Gardevoir / Shadow Gardevoir / Mega Gardevoir (Fairy/Psychic) * Terrakion (Rock/Fighting) * Gigalith (Rock) Trainers should also keep in mind that the color of the Black Version is tied to the white-colored legendary Reshiram, while the White Version is tied to the black-colored legendary Zekrom.

Overall, the choice between Reshiram and Zekrom depends on the trainer's playstyle and preferences. With the right strategy and Pokémon, trainers can take down Black Kyurem and White Kyurem and add them to their collection. The Pokémon GO Tour: Unova event is a great opportunity for trainers to catch these two new Legendary Pokémon and experience the new Adventure Effects and raid battles. Don't miss out on this exciting event and get ready to catch 'em all!
