New Forms for Fan-Favorite Pokémon at Summer Fest

by Gabriella May 17,2025

With summer on the horizon, Pokémon Go enthusiasts have much to look forward to, especially with the upcoming Pokémon Go Fest set to take place in June in Jersey City. One of the most exciting announcements is the introduction of new forms for the beloved Pokémon, Zacian and Zamazenta. These Warrior Pokémon will be debuting their powerful Crowned Forms at the festival, utilizing the newly introduced Crowned Sword Energy and Crowned Shield Energy. Trainers will have the opportunity to transform Zacian into Crowned Sword Zacian and Zamazenta into Crowned Shield Zamazenta, enhancing their battle capabilities.

These new forms are not just for show; they pack a punch in Max Battles. Despite not being able to Dynamax or Gigantamax, both Zacian and Zamazenta in their Crowned Forms can participate in these battles, showcasing their strength with special moves like Behemoth Blade and Behemoth Bash. These moves make them formidable competitors in the arena.

Festa!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 offer the chance to battle the Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta in five-star raids, making them a must-attend for any serious Pokémon Go player. Tickets for this year's Pokémon Go Fest are still available, so act fast to secure your spot.
