As summer approaches, Pokémon Go enthusiasts have much to look forward to, especially with the announcement of the upcoming 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 are set to receive exciting 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 Zacian into Crowned Sword Zacian and Zamazenta into Crowned Shield Zamazenta, respectively.
To showcase the prowess of these new forms, both Zacian and Zamazenta will be available for use in Max Battles, despite their usual inability to Dynamax or Gigantamax. Additionally, their formidable special moves, Behemoth Blade and Behemoth Bash, will make them formidable competitors in max battles.
**Festa!** The Pokémon Go Fests in Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris will be the first venues where trainers can encounter Zacian and Zamazenta in five-star raids. These events will also offer the chance to challenge Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta in five-star raids before they become available to the broader player base.
Tickets for this year's Pokémon Go Fest are still available, but they're going fast. For a glimpse of what to expect, check out Jupiter Hadley's firsthand account from last year's event, which provides a detailed look at the excitement and activities at Pokémon Go Fest.
