Pokémon Go - The new Pokémon Zacian and Zamazenta
As part of the third and final Hyper Bonus event, Pokémon GO players can once again look forward to new and extraordinary monsters. The Mischief Pokémon Hoopa throws out its rings, creating a spatial structure that allows the first Pokémon of Generation 8 to appear on our mobile devices. Not only will Raffle and its evolution Slurpoon, and Wooloo and its evolution Duscoul, enter our world, but also Legendary Pokémon. But that's not all! The highlight of the Hyper Bonus event is definitely the arrival of the two Legendary Pokémon Zacian and Zamazenta , who will appear in their heroic Warrior forms. You can learn everything about these Legendary monsters and how to best catch them in this article.
The legendary Zacian
You probably know Zacian from the cover of the game Pokémon Sword. The large, four-legged fairy-type monster has existed since the 8th generation of games. His stature is largely reminiscent of that of a wolf. Its fur is predominantly blue, interrupted by some red, gold, light beige and black areas. On the sides and on its long, bushy tail, the fur is strikingly red in color.
The head of the Pokémon is adorned with a magnificent headdress. In addition, Zacian has wings, which, however, are often barely visible. When the monster unfolds its wings, you can see the golden color of the wings. The 3 pointed, black claws on his paws and his clear, piercing eyes are also particularly noticeable.
Zacian's change of form
Just like other legendary Pokémon, Zacian has neither a pre-evolution nor an evolution. However, the monster is able to change its form. To do this, it simply needs to hold the Rusty Sword. Then, at the start of a battle, it can transform into its "King of the Sword" form.
Once Zacian takes this form, not only do its stats increase, but it also takes the form of steel. His Iron Skull attack is replaced by the powerful Gigantic Slash attack. So it can do even more damage to its opponents in battle.
Catch Zacian in Pokémon GO
As part of the 3rd Hyperbonus event, Zacian will appear on our earth for a short period of time. From August 20, 2021 to August 26, 2021 you have the chance to catch the legendary monster on your mobile device. The event starts and ends at 10:00 a.m.
Zacian will appear in his heroic warrior form in the raids. You will immediately see that the legendary monster is noticeably worn out. Even so, you shouldn't support it. To catch it, it makes sense to use poison-type and steel-type attacks. Zacian has a noticeable weakness against these attacks.
How strong is Zacian?
In its heroic warrior form, which it will appear in in Pokémon GO, Zacian possesses solid attack stats. Its defense stats are also decent. Its weakness, however, lies in its stamina, which is only average. In its "King of Swords" form, the Pokémon has significantly better stats.
Zacian's maximum strength in the raid is given by gamepress as 2.188 WP. With a weather bonus, its strength can increase to 2.735 WP. As soon as you train the monster to level 50, it can have a maximum strength of 4.329 WP.
In the games Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, Zacian is able to learn many different attacks. However, it is not yet known which attacks it can learn in Pokémon GO. Here you have to wait until the hyperbonus event finally begins.
The legendary Zamazenta
The legendary Shield-type Pokémon Zamazenta is the counterpart to Zacian and adorns the cover of Pokémon Shield. Just like Zacian, it has existed since the 8th generation of games. In terms of appearance, too, it is very similar to Zacian's basic physique. Zamazenta is 2,9 meters tall and also moves on four legs.
In contrast to Zacian, however, his body covering is dark red. The red areas of his body may be covered by a hard tissue that protects zamazenta in battle. There are red, thorn-like appendages on his forehead and back.
The head of the monster is surrounded by dark blue fur. There is a bushy, blue, plait-like head on his head. The fur on its long tail is also blue. His paws are each provided with 4 impressive, black claws. There is also another claw-like appendage on each of its hind legs.
Zamazentas change of form
Just like Zacian, Zamazenta has no advance or further development. With the help of the rusty shield, however, it can change its shape. If you give him the shield, zamazenta expands his ruff and certain areas of his face. So the Pokémon can create an impressive, golden shield to better themselves
protection. This shield consists of individual plates that shield his neck, chest and flanks from attacks.
In this "King of the Shield" form, Zamazenta's stats are not only increased, but it also becomes a Steel type. Just like with Zacian, its Iron Head attack is replaced by Giant Strike.
Catch Zamazenta in Pokémon GO
Right after Zacian appears on our earth, Zamazenta will visit our world. You can catch it from August 26, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. to September 01, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. Zamazenta will also appear in the raids in its heroic warrior form, but in a noticeably worn-out state.
You have the best chance of catching it if you use psychological, flight and fairy-type attacks against the monster.
How strong is zamazenta?
According to gamepress, Zamazenta can be expected to be as strong as its counterpart Zacian. But here, too, you can only speculate about your exact moveset at the moment.
Zamazenta's maximum strength is also said to be the same as Zacian's . However, in his "King of the Shield" form, his stats will improve significantly, especially his defense. This form of Zamazenta, just like Zacian's "King of the Sword" form, cannot yet be captured in the game.
