With summer fast approaching, Pokémon Go has made a splashy announcement in line with the excitement of the upcoming Pokémon Go Fest set to take place this June in Jersey City. Among the most exciting reveals? The debut of brand-new forms for two fan-favourites—Zacian and Zamazenta!

These legendary Warrior Pokémon are evolving further with the introduction of their striking Crowned Forms. By obtaining the new Crowned Sword Energy and Crowned Shield Energy, trainers can transform Zacian into Crowned Sword Zacian and Zamazenta into Crowned Shield Zamazenta.

To highlight their immense power, both Crowned forms can now be used in Max Battles—despite typically being unable to Dynamax or Gigantamax. This marks a significant shift in gameplay potential! And let’s not forget their devastating signature moves: Behemoth Blade and Behemoth Bash. These monstrous attacks make them serious contenders in high-level Max Battle competitions.

Festa!
The Pokémon Go Fests in Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris will be the first locations where trainers can encounter Zacian and Zamazenta in five-star raids before they become widely available. Additionally, attendees will have the rare opportunity to challenge Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta in five-star raid battles—making these events must-attend experiences for any serious trainer.

Tickets for Pokémon Go Fest 2025 are still available, so time is of the essence if you're hoping to secure your spot. Wondering what the event has in store? Last year’s coverage by Jupiter Hadley gives a detailed look at what you can expect from this immersive, real-world Pokémon adventure.
