Summer Fest Reveals New Fan-Favorite Pokémon Forms

As summer approaches, Pokémon Go has exciting news to share about the upcoming Go Fest in Jersey City this June, with the most anticipated reveal being brand new forms for fan-favorite Legendaries Zacian and Zamazenta.

Legendary Warriors Gain Crowned Forms

The regal Warrior Pokémon will receive transformative Crowned Forms powered by the newly introduced Crowned Sword Energy and Crowned Shield Energy. Trainers can use these special items to evolve Zacian into Crowned Sword Zacian and Zamazenta into Crowned Shield Zamazenta.

These formidable new forms pack serious power - for the first time ever, both Pokémon will be usable in Max Battles despite their typical inability to Dynamax. The creatures' enhanced special moves Behemoth Blade and Behemoth Bash cement them as competitive contenders in these battles.

Pokémon Go Fest Exclusives

Attendees of the Pokémon Go Fests in Osaka, Jersey City and Paris will get first access to these Legendaries through five-star raids before they're available to all players. The in-person events also offer exclusive chances to battle both Crowned Form Pokémon in special raids.

Tickets remain available for this year's Pokémon Go Fest, but interested trainers should act quickly. Curious what the experience entails? Check out our firsthand coverage from last year's event for insights.
