Pokémon GO Tour: Unova Global: All in-game bonuses and features

The perks just keep on coming

No PokĂ©mon GO event would be complete without a handful of perks and bonuses designed to make players want to dive in and start catching PokĂ©mon. The Unova Global event is no different, and there are several bonuses worth noting.

This event is absolutely crammed with new Pokémon to catch, Research Tasks to work through, Raids to battle through, and of course the ever-important addition of Black and White Kyurem. You’re definitely going to be busy during and after the two-day Unova Global event, but what are the perks of playing during those two days?

During the two day event on March 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 PokĂ©mon spawn rate increases
  • Themed PokĂ©mon in Eggs
  • Themed PokĂ©mon 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 available 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 specific 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 that 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 obtaining either (or both) of them.
