During the two day event on Mar💞ch 1 and 2, players everywhere will be able to benefit from the following bonuses and features:

  • Egg hatch distance halved
  • 50% trading discount
  • Six Special Trades allowed per day
  • Unova-region Pokémon spawn rate increases
  • Themed Pokémon in Eggs
  • Themed Pokémon in Raid Battles
  • Exclusive attacks available
  • Themed Field Research

On top of that, players will have another chance to obtain a Kyurem that knows the special Charged Attack Glaciate. This attack was only previously availablꦇe either during the Holiday 2022 event, or if you 🍨used a TM to teach the attack. 

During the Unova Global event, players will be able to select between one of 🔥two paths of a Special Research task, which they can then complete to unlock rewards and perks specifiཧc to that path:

Black Version (Reshiram)White Version (Zekrom)
Reshiram-themed Special Research rewardsZekrom-themed Special Research rewards
All Kyurem obtained from Black Kyurem raids will know GlaciateAll Kyurem obtained from White Kyurem raids will known Glaciate

This is important because fusing a Kyurem t♛hat knows this attack with either Reshiram or Zekrom will result in the White or Black Kyurem knowing an exclusive attack. 

For more information on Black and White Kyurem, check out our dedicated guide to ob🃏taining either (or both) of them.
