As summer approaches, Pokémon Go enthusiasts have much to look forward to, especially with the upcoming Pokémon Go Fest set for June in Jersey City. The highlight of this event is undoubtedly the introduction of new forms for the beloved Pokémon, Zacian and Zamazenta. These Warrior Pokémon will debut their new Crowned Forms, powered by Crowned Sword Energy and Crowned Shield Energy, respectively. Trainers will have the opportunity to transform Zacian into Crowned Sword Zacian and Zamazenta into Crowned Shield Zamazenta, adding a fresh dynamic to their gameplay.
The power of these new forms will be showcased in Max Battles, where both Zacian and Zamazenta can participate, despite typically not being able to Dynamax or Gigantamax. Their formidable special moves, Behemoth Blade for Zacian and Behemoth Bash for Zamazenta, will make them fierce competitors in these battles.
**Festa!** The excitement doesn't stop there. At Pokémon Go Fests in Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris, trainers will have their first chance to encounter Zacian and Zamazenta in five-star raids. These events will also offer the opportunity to challenge Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta in five-star raids, making these fests a must-attend for any dedicated player.
