Get Ready for Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Crowned Sword and Crowned Shield Forms Unveiled!
Exciting developments continue to unfold in the world of Pokémon GO, and the upcoming Pokémon GO Fest 2025 is set to elevate the experience to new heights! Among the most thrilling announcements are the highly anticipated debuts of the Warrior Pokémon, Zacian and Zamazenta, in their Crowned Sword and Crowned Shield forms. This transformation allows these iconic Pokémon to harness new powers, making them formidable allies in battles.
Discover the Power of Zacian and Zamazenta
Starting at Pokémon GO Fest 2025, trainers will witness Zacian and Zamazenta reaching unprecedented levels of strength. For the first time, players will have the opportunity to evolve these Pokémon into their Crowned Sword and Crowned Shield forms. When transformed, Zacian will have access to the powerful signature move known as Behemoth Blade, while Zamazenta will gain the skill Behemoth Bash. This is a game-changing moment for trainers eager to boost their battle strategies during the event and beyond.
Pokémon Debuts and Special Research Opportunities
At Pokémon GO Fest 2025, trainers can expect to see both Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta making their debuts. This event will be a significant moment in the Pokémon GO universe, as trainers will be able to utilize a newly discovered energy type to evolve Zacian and Zamazenta into their powerful forms.
Trainers hoping to encounter these remarkable Pokémon may also get lucky and find a Shiny version! This adds an extra layer of excitement for those attending the event.
Unlocking Crowned Sword and Crowned Shield Energy
Crowned Sword Energy and Crowned Shield Energy are unique items that allow trainers to transform Zacian and Zamazenta into their respective forms. These sources of energy are quite rare and can be obtained in several ways. At the in-person Pokémon GO Fest events held in cities like Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris, trainers can gain early access to Crowned Sword Energy or Crowned Shield Energy through branching Special Research tasks.
Following the in-person events, Trainers worldwide will have the chance to earn these energies by defeating Crowned Sword Zacian or Crowned Shield Zamazenta in Raid Battles or by completing ticketed Special Research during the Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global event.
Transforming Your Pokémon: A New Level of Strategy
To evolve Zacian into Crowned Sword Zacian, trainers need to have 1,000 units of Crowned Sword Energy, provided that Zacian already knows the Charged Attack Iron Head. Similarly, Zamazenta can be transformed into Crowned Shield Zamazenta using the same amount of Crowned Shield Energy, given that it knows Iron Head.
One important detail to keep in mind is that once a trainer successfully transforms their Zacian or Zamazenta, they can switch between forms as many times as they wish without needing to use additional energy. However, while in their Crowned forms, these Pokémon cannot be traded or transferred to Pokémon HOME, which adds an element of strategy to their use in battles.
Signature Moves and Battle Mechanics
When Zacian transforms into Crowned Sword Zacian, its Charged Attack Iron Head will upgrade to the devastating Behemoth Blade. On the other hand, Zamazenta will upgrade from Iron Head to Behemoth Bash upon its transformation into Crowned Shield Zamazenta. These moves are not only powerful but also add a significant tactical advantage in battles.
In addition to their signature moves, both Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta can participate in Max Battles, a feature that allows trainers to engage in high-stakes encounters. This is particularly exciting because, despite not being able to Dynamax or Gigantamax, these Pokémon can still deliver powerful attacks during Max Battles.
Max Battles: New Horizons for Trainers
The introduction of Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta to Max Battles opens up new possibilities for trainers. With their signature moves, players can strategize and take on powerful Max Pokémon in an innovative way. Both Zacian and Zamazenta can enhance their moves, Behemoth Blade and Behemoth Bash, to inflict even more damage in these challenging scenarios.
Furthermore, trainers will have the opportunity to unlock additional moves, such as Guard and Spirit attacks, specifically for use in Max Battles. Trainers who successfully unlock the Guard move for Crowned Shield Zamazenta will discover even more of the Warrior Pokémon’s capabilities in battle.
Pokémon GO Fest 2025: A Global Celebration
As Pokémon GO Fest 2025 approaches, trainers can look forward to engaging with Zacian and Zamazenta in five-star raids. These exciting raids will occur during both the in-person Pokémon GO Fest events and the subsequent global event, giving trainers ample opportunity to experience the power of these legendary Pokémon firsthand.
Be sure to keep an eye out for the specific dates and locations of the events. As always, trainers are encouraged to observe their surroundings and follow local health guidelines while participating in the festivities.
