As summer approaches, Pokémon Go enthusiasts have much to look forward to, especially with the exciting announcements for the upcoming Pokémon Go Fest this June in Jersey City. One of the most anticipated reveals is the introduction of new forms for the beloved Pokémon, Zacian and Zamazenta.
These Warrior Pokémon are set to receive stunning new Crowned Forms, powered by the innovative Crowned Sword Energy and Crowned Shield Energy. Trainers will have the opportunity to harness these energies to transform Zacian into Crowned Sword Zacian and Zamazenta into Crowned Shield Zamazenta, enhancing their battle capabilities.
To showcase the strength of these new forms, trainers will be able to utilize both Zacian and Zamazenta in Max Battles, even though they typically can't Dynamax or Gigantamax. Their formidable special moves, Behemoth Blade and Behemoth Bash, will make them highly competitive in these battles.
The Pokémon Go Fests in Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris will be the initial locations where trainers can encounter Zacian and Zamazenta in five-star raids before they become available to the wider player base. Participants will also have the chance to challenge the Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta in these raids.
