Pokémon Summer Fest Unveils New Variants

• Pokémon Go introduces exciting new Crowned Forms for legendary Pokémon Zacian and Zamazenta
• These special forms will make their first appearance during June's Pokémon Go Fest events
• Trainers can utilize these powerful forms in Max Raid Battles despite their typical non-Dynamax nature

As summer approaches, Pokémon Go enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the upcoming Pokémon Go Fest in Jersey City this June. The most thrilling announcement reveals brand-new transformations for beloved Legendary Pokémon Zacian and Zamazenta.

The Warrior Pokémon will receive Crowned Forms powered by innovative Crowned Sword Energy and Crowned Shield Energy. Players can harness these energies to evolve Zacian into Crowned Sword Form and Zamazenta into Crowned Shield Form.

Demonstrating their enhanced power, these forms become usable in Max Raid Battles - remarkable since these Pokémon normally can't Dynamax or Gigantamax. Their signature moves Behemoth Blade and Behemoth Bash further establish their dominance in these specialized battles.

Participants at Pokémon Go Fest events in Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris will enjoy exclusive early access to Zacian and Zamazenta through five-star raids before global availability. These events also present opportunities to battle Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta in challenging five-star raids.

Tickets for this year's Pokémon Go Fest remain available, but interested trainers should act quickly. Curious about the experience? Last year, our reporter Jupiter Hadley provided firsthand insights into the Pokémon Go Fest celebrations.
