2025-06-25 11:08:11

Niantic has announced groundbreaking new Adventure Effects for the legendary Pokemon Zacian and Zamazenta, which will make their debut during the highly anticipated Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Global event. This marks the grand finale of the most significant celebration in the Pokemon GO annual calendar, bringing together trainers worldwide for an immersive augmented reality experience.

Zacian first appeared in Pokemon GO during the 2021 Ultra Unlock Part 3: Sword and Shield event, with its Shiny variant following in 2024 at the Legendary Heroes event. Meanwhile, Zamazenta made its initial debut alongside Zacian in 2021, with its Shiny form becoming available during the 2024 Galarian Expedition event. The Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta forms, complete with their Shiny variants, were introduced during Pokemon GO Fest 2025, offering trainers new ways to experience these powerful Legendary Pokemon.

The newly announced Adventure Effects bring innovative gameplay mechanics to these fan-favorite Pokemon. To activate Zacian's special ability, trainers must first have it in its Crowned Sword form. This transformation changes its Charged Attack from Iron Head to the devastating Behemoth Blade. The Behemoth Blade Adventure Effect can then be activated at a cost of 5,000 Stardust and five Zacian Candy, providing a six-minute attack boost for the player's team during Raids and Max Battles.

Similarly, Zamazenta's Adventure Effect requires its Crowned Shield form, which replaces Iron Head with the defensive powerhouse Behemoth Bash. For the same resource investment of 5,000 Stardust and five Zamazenta Candy, trainers can activate a six-minute defense boost for their entire team in Raid and Max Battle scenarios. These complementary effects create exciting new strategic possibilities for coordinated team play.

GO Fest 2025: Global participants will have exclusive opportunities to battle both Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta in challenging five-star Raids. Victorious trainers will earn special Crowned Sword Energy from Zacian encounters and Crowned Shield Energy from Zamazenta battles. The event also features encounters with the original Hero of Many Battles forms of these Legendary Pokemon, completing the collection experience for dedicated trainers.
