New Forms for Fan-Favorite Pokémon at Summer Fest

As summer approaches, Pokémon Go enthusiasts have a thrilling announcement to look forward to: the upcoming Pokémon Go Fest in June, set to take place in Jersey City. The highlight of the event? The debut of new forms for the beloved Pokémon, Zacian and Zamazenta!

These Warrior Pokémon are set to receive stunning new Crowned Forms, powered by the newly introduced Crowned Sword Energy and Crowned Shield Energy. Trainers will have the opportunity to harness these energies to transform their Zacian and Zamazenta into Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta, respectively.

To showcase the prowess of these new forms, both Zacian and Zamazenta will be eligible for use in Max Battles, despite their usual inability to Dynamax and 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. These events will also provide the exclusive opportunity to challenge the Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta in five-star raids.

Tickets for this year's Pokémon Go Fest are still available, so act quickly if you want to join the excitement. Curious about what to expect? Our own Jupiter Hadley provided a firsthand account of last year's Pokémon Go Fest, offering a glimpse into the experience.
