As summer approaches, Pokémon Go enthusiasts have much to look forward to, especially with the upcoming Pokémon Go Fest this June in Jersey City. One of the most exciting announcements is the introduction of new forms for the beloved Pokémon, Zacian and Zamazenta. These Warrior Pokémon will debut in their impressive Crowned Forms, utilizing the newly introduced Crowned Sword Energy and Crowned Shield Energy. Trainers will have the opportunity to transform Zacian into Crowned Sword Zacian and Zamazenta into Crowned Shield Zamazenta, enhancing their gameplay experience.
The power of these new forms will be showcased in Max Battles, where both Zacian and Zamazenta can participate despite their usual inability to Dynamax and Gigantamax. Their formidable special moves, Behemoth Blade and Behemoth Bash, will make them fierce competitors in these battles.
The Pokémon Go Fests in Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris will be the initial venues where trainers can encounter Zacian and Zamazenta in five-star raids. These events will also offer the chance to challenge Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta in five-star raids. Tickets for this year's Pokémon Go Fest are still available, but they're selling fast, so be sure to secure yours quickly.
