New Forms for Fan-Favorite Pokémon at Summer Fest

As summer approaches, Pokémon Go enthusiasts have much to look forward to, especially with the exciting announcements for Pokémon Go Fest this June 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 will be introduced in their impressive Crowned Forms, powered by the newly introduced Crowned Sword Energy and Crowned Shield Energy. Trainers can harness these energies to transform Zacian into Crowned Sword Zacian and Zamazenta into Crowned Shield Zamazenta, enhancing their battle prowess significantly.

The new forms are not just for show; they bring formidable power to the battlefield. Both Zacian and Zamazenta can be used in Max Battles, despite not being able to Dynamax or Gigantamax. Their special moves, Behemoth Blade for Zacian and Behemoth Bash for Zamazenta, make them formidable competitors in these intense battles. This addition promises to shake up the competitive scene within Pokémon Go.

The Pokémon Go Fests in Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris will serve as the initial venues where trainers can encounter Zacian and Zamazenta in five-star raids. These events will also offer the unique opportunity to challenge the Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta in five-star raids. Tickets for Pokémon Go Fest are still available, but they're selling fast, so don't miss out on this chance to be among the first to experience these new forms.
