As summer approaches, excitement builds around the upcoming Pokémon Go Fest scheduled for June in Jersey City. The event promises a thrilling reveal: new forms for the beloved Pokémon Zacian and Zamazenta. These Warrior Pokémon will showcase their new Crowned Forms, powered by the innovative Crowned Sword Energy and Crowned Shield Energy. Trainers will have the opportunity to transform their Zacian into Crowned Sword Zacian and their Zamazenta into Crowned Shield Zamazenta, enhancing their battle capabilities significantly.
One of the most exciting aspects of these new forms is their ability to participate in Max Battles. Despite not typically being able to Dynamax or Gigantamax, both Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta can join in these battles, wielding powerful special moves like Behemoth Blade and Behemoth Bash, making them formidable competitors.
**Festa!** 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. Following their debut at these events, they will become available to a broader audience. Additionally, attendees will have the exclusive chance to challenge Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta in five-star raids.
