As summer approaches, Pokémon Go enthusiasts are buzzing with excitement over the latest announcements for the upcoming Pokémon Go Fest in June, set to take place in Jersey City. The highlight of the event is undoubtedly the debut of new forms for the beloved Pokémon, Zacian and Zamazenta!
These Warrior Pokémon are set to receive exciting 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, respectively.
To showcase the prowess of these new forms, players will be able to utilize both Zacian and Zamazenta in Max Battles, despite their usual inability to Dynamax and Gigantamax. Additionally, their formidable special moves, Behemoth Blade and Behemoth Bash, will make them formidable competitors in these battles.
The Pokémon Go Fests in Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris will offer the first opportunities for trainers to encounter Zacian and Zamazenta in five-star raids before they become available to the broader player base. Participants will also have the chance to challenge the new Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta in five-star raids.
