CARDEX BACKGROUND

About this Pokémon form

Black Kyurem arises from the union of Kyurem and Zekrom. In Pokémon GO, this joining requires a particular Volt Fusion Energy; the two Pokémon then remain together until their Trainer separates them. This form also transforms an icy Kyurem attack into Freeze Shock, combining cold with an electrical manifestation.

Background on this form in the video games; this card’s attacks, edition and finish remain distinct.

A detail worth noticing

Freeze Shock's Adventure Effect can be used outside battle in Pokémon GO. Electrically charged ice temporarily prevents encountered Pokémon from moving, making them easier to catch. This mobile-game mechanic is distinct from the attack text on a Black Kyurem card.
