Pokémon Go Fest 2025 Features Zacian and Zamazenta with Special Raids and Quests

Crowned Shield Zamazenta is a formidable Tier 5 legendary raid boss in Pokémon GO, known for its potential to be shiny. Although trainers cannot catch the Crowned Shield form during the raid, they will encounter the Hero of Many Battles form, which can later transform into the Crowned Shield form. Trainers should be aware that Zamazenta can be defeated with the right strategy; ideally, it can be taken down by 3 highly skilled trainers, but a safer approach would involve assembling a team of around 46 experienced players to ensure victory.

The encounter is influenced by weather conditions, specifically Cloudy weather, which boosts Zamazenta's Fighting type. Trainers should prepare with counters consisting of strong Psychic, Flying, and Fairy-type Pokémon. Additionally, Zamazenta is a strong Fighting-type Legendary with a diverse move set, but none of its moves are particularly difficult to counter. After gathering enough Crowned Shield Energy, players can transform the Hero of Many Battles Zamazenta into the Crowned Shield Zamazenta by using 1,000 energy, provided it knows the Charged Attack Iron Head. Once transformed, Zamazenta's Charged Attack will switch to Behemoth Bash, a Steel-type move that is its signature attack. This comprehensive understanding of Zamazenta's capabilities and transformation process will aid trainers in effectively battling this legendary Pokémon.
