New Pokemon GO Leak Reveals Adventure Effects

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, which are fusions of Kyurem with either Zekrom or Reshiram, will debut during the upcoming GO Tour: Unova event on March 1 and 2. Adventure Effects are temporary bonuses activated by specific Pokemon, and the leak hints at two new effects: Ice Burn linked to White Kyurem and Freeze Shock linked to Black Kyurem.

According to the leak from Pokeminers, Ice Burn will slow down the target ring during Pokemon encounters, making it easier for players to achieve Great or Excellent throws. On the other hand, Freeze Shock will completely paralyze a Pokemon, preventing it from knocking back a Pokeball or moving around the screen, which could be particularly useful for catching elusive Pokemon.

• White Kyurem: Ice Burn, slows down the target ring during Pokemon encounters
• Black Kyurem: Freeze Shock, paralyzes Pokemon during encounters

In addition to these exciting new 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 at least Great Friends. The effect is time-limited, lasting only a few hours, but it could be a valuable tool for players aiming to secure Lucky trades, which are rare even among Best Friends.

While the GO Tour: Unova event is still months away, Pokemon GO enthusiasts have more immediate events to look forward to. The Corviknight evolution line will be introduced during the Steely Resolve event on January 21, with five-star Raids featuring Deoxys and Dialga. Additionally, from January 20 to February 3, players can participate in Max Raids to encounter the Dynamax versions of the Legendary Bird Trio.
