Captain LagbeardIf you’ve ever thought, “Wow, my Kyurem isn’t quite annoying enough to power up,” congratulations—Niantic heard you! Now, to get the supercharged version, you need two magical resources: Volt Fusion Energy and Blaze Fusion Energy.
And no, they don’t just fall out of the sky like a missed Poké Ball.
These ultra-rare power-ups are mostly found through Kyurem raids, because what’s Pokémon Go without forcing you into another Legendary Raid addiction?
But don’t worry, Niantic is also giving out free codes—if you’re willing to play their little subscription-boosting game. Let’s break it all down.
Niantic’s Free Codes: The Digital Scavenger Hunt No One Asked For
Niantic, in their infinite wisdom, has decided to hold Fusion Energy hostage behind—you guessed it—social media clout.
If their Pokémon Go YouTube channels gain 2,000 subscribers per day from February 24-27, they’ll “graciously” release codes for free Fusion Energy.
Here’s the current lineup of free codes for the desperate among us:
- February 25 Code: WJ5DFWASCL65W (50 Volt Fusion Energy)
That’s it. That’s all we’ve got so far. But hey, if you enjoy refreshing Twitter in hopes of another 50 Energy drop, go for it!
(We’ll update this article when Niantic drops more breadcrumbs.)
Other Ways to Get Fusion Energy (If You Enjoy Suffering)
If you’d rather not beg for scraps through social media, there are other ways to farm Fusion Energy. They just require—you know—actually playing the game.
1. Kyurem Raids: Because of Course
Your best bet at getting Fusion Energy is through Black Kyurem and White Kyurem raids.
But brace yourself: these aren’t your average, “casually tap the screen and win” kind of battles.
- Defeat Black Kyurem → Get Volt Fusion Energy
- Defeat White Kyurem → Get Blaze Fusion Energy
Seems simple, right? Well, considering these are Legendary Raids, you’ll need a team of well-prepared Trainers, perfect counters, and at least three existential crises along the way.
2. Special Research: “It’s Not Over Yet” (And It Might Never Be)
On March 1 at 10 a.m. local time, Niantic will drop a new Special Research task. Completing it will bless you with 1,000 Fusion Energy for the Kyurem fusion of your choice.
This sounds great, except we all know Niantic doesn’t just hand out rewards without making you jump through flaming hoops first.
Expect tasks like “Spin 500 PokéStops while blindfolded” or “Catch 75 Unovan Pidoves in a row without throwing your phone.”
3. Go Tour: Unova (March 1-2): The Grand Fusion Cash Grab
If you thought Pokémon Go Tour: Unova was just a fun little event, think again.
This is your last shot at farming Fusion Energy before Kyurem fusions become a thing of the past—or at least, locked behind another paywall.
During this event, you’ll have to:
- Raid Black Kyurem and White Kyurem until your fingers fall off.
- Complete event tasks that definitely won’t be easy or fun.
If you were lucky enough to attend the in-person Go Tour: Unova events in Los Angeles or Taipei, congrats! You’re ahead of the curve. The rest of us? We’re out here grinding.
Final Thoughts: Niantic Wins Again
So there you have it—your roadmap to obtaining Kyurem’s super-duper-ultra-fancy fused forms.
Whether you get your Fusion Energy through raids, research, or Niantic’s social media bribery scheme, one thing’s for sure: it won’t be easy.
But hey, at least when you finally get your hands on that fused Kyurem, you’ll have earned it.
Or, at the very least, you’ll have lost a few brain cells and a whole lot of Raid Passes.
Good luck, Trainers! And remember: if all else fails, just blame RNG.
