With summer on the horizon, 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 thrilling updates 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, respectively.

To showcase the might of these new forms, Pokémon Go is allowing players 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 fierce competitors in these max 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 before they become available to the broader player community. Participants will also have the chance to challenge Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta in these five-star raids.
