Pokémon GO deletes the black and white Kyurem – This is how trainers are compensated

earthpressnews

There was a big problem with black and white Kyurem in Pokémon GO. Now developer Niantic says how it will be handled.

What was the problem? Most recently there was an accidental release in Pokémon GO.

  • Some trainers received a Black or White Kyurem encounter as a reward in the PvP Battle League.
  • These powerful special forms don’t actually exist in the game yet – only the normal, weaker Kyurem.
  • As a result, Niantic blocked the special forms in the battle league, but also reported that they were taking a closer look at it.

    • Now Niantic has decided: the two monsters will be deleted. But there is compensation for affected players.

    This is how Pokémon GO deals with the black and white Kyurem

    This is what Niantic says: The developers reported via the Niantic support channel that the two monsters will be removed because it was a bug. To this end, Niantic said: “We will be contacting the trainers who were recently affected by this and will offer in-game compensation as an expression of our apology” (via X.com).

    Niantic also apologizes for “the confusion and inconvenience,” said another post.

    What does the compensation look like? Some affected trainers have already posted what compensation they received for the problem (via reddit). It is composed of:

  • 250 Kyurem Candies
  • 5 star pieces
  • 5 lucky eggs
  • 250,000 Stardust

    • What’s next for Kyurem? You can no longer get the black and white Kyurem again. It can be assumed that a proper release of both will be forthcoming at some point – but it looks as if that time has not yet come for Niantic.

    According to the current status, there is only the standard Kyurem to catch for now. This is still in raids until December 23, 2023.
