White Kyurem is finally here in Pokémon GO.
White Kyurem is appearing in Pokémon GO Raids across the Unova Tour, first in-person in Los Angeles and New Taipei City then globally on Mar. 1 and 2.
This will be a really important Pokémon to take on. It has a lot of potential in both PvP and Raids. Only by defeating either Black or White Kyurem can you get the Fusion Energy you need to add these Pokémon to your collection.
So, here is everything you need to know when battling White Kyurem in Pokémon GO.
Best White Kyurem counters in Pokémon GO:
White Kyurem has a weakness to Dragon, Fairy, Fighting, Rock and Steel-type attacks. It then has a resistance to Electric, Grass and Water-type attacks.
Here are the best Pokémon to use when battling White Kyurem in Pokémon GO:
 Dusk Mane Necrozma Metal Claw & Sunsteel Strike |  Mega Lucario Force Palm & Aura Sphere |  Mega Rayquaza Dragon Tail & Breaking Swipe |  Mega Gardevoir Charm & Dazzling Gleam |  Mega Garchomp Dragon Tail & Outrage |  Origin Forme Dialga Metal Claw & Roar of Time |  Mega Heracross Counter & Close Combat |  Metagross Bullet Punch & Meteor Mash |  Terrakion Double Kick & Sacred Sword |  Dawn Wings Necrozma Metal Claw & Moongeist Beam |  Lucario Force Palm & Aura Sphere |  Dialga Metal Claw & Draco Meteor |
Helpfully, a lot of the best White Kyurem counters have been in Pokémon GO recently. The Necrozma Fusion forms appeared in a special Raid Day, we had Beldum Community Day Classic for Metagross, and Origin Forme Dialga appeared in the GO Wild Area event.
Additionally, Mega Garchomp is currently in Mega Raids, with Pokémon like Mega Heracross and Mega Lucario having special Raid Days not too long ago.
That should mean all Trainers can get a team together for these White Kyurem Pokémon GO Raids.

Yes, you can get a Shiny White Kyurem in Pokémon GO. It will take the shiny status from Kyurem, not Reshiram.
