Crowned Shield Zamazenta Pokémon GO Raid Guide, hundo CP and counters

Crowned Shield Zamazenta is rolling out worldwide during Pokémon GO Fest: Global. It will appear in Five-Star Raids on Saturday, June 28 letting Trainers get Crowned Shield energy. Any Crowned Shield Zamazenta will revert to their Heros of Many Battles forms when caught, and you'll need 1000 Energy to revert them back to their more powerful form.

Crowned Shield Zamazenta is one of the very best Pokémon in Pokémon GO. It has huge Raid power as a Steel-type Raid Attacker, and it can also be used in Max Battles. In addition, this Pokémon is currently really useful in Master League PvP thanks to its huge array of resistances.

Here's everything you need to know before battling Crowned Shield Zamazenta in Pokémon GO.

Crowned Shield Zamazenta has a weakness to Fighting, Fire and Ground-type attacks. It has a huge array of resistances, including triple resistances to Bug, Poison and Rock-type attacks so avoid those sort of moves.

Here are the best Pokémon to use when battling Crowned Shield Zamazenta.

There are a lot of great options for this Raid, so getting a team to take on Crowned Shield Zamazenta in Pokémon GO shouldn't be too hard for most Trainers. This also includes some more common Pokémon, like Chandelure, that can be evolved from Pokémon that spawn in the wild.

The very best options, like often, are Mega Pokémon. Mega Lucario and Primal Groudon are some of the strongest counters to use here. Helpfully, we've seen Groudon in Raids recently and Mega Lucario not too long ago either.

Reshiram, Blacephalon and Heatran have all also been in Raids this year and they stand up as some of the best non-Mega options to use to bulk out your team. Volcarona, Keldeo and Therian Landorus are also handy options. However, not all Trainers will have Keldeo in Pokémon GO.

Yes, after debuting last year, Zamazenta can be shiny in Pokémon GO and that means Crowned Shield Zamazenta can also be shiny.

Mega Evolutions can help you get more candy and XL candy with every catch. Having a mega level 3 active that boosts candy for Fighting-types will give you an extra 2 candy per catch, as well as a 25% bonus to your XL candy chance.

Here are the Pokémon you can Mega Evolve to get more Zamazenta candy:

Crowned Shield Zamazenta is pretty powerful, so you'll need a few Trainers to take it down. Thankfully, with the Remote Raid Limit removed across GO Fest Global, recruiting some extra help should be easy.

You'll need between four and six Trainers to beat this Raid if you have good counters. For lower level players, look for at least a group of eight.

After the Raid you encounter the standard form of Zamazenta. Here are the hundo CP values to look out for after the Raid:

Weather boost can help you save candy, get better IVs and benefit from power boosts on your team. Here are the weather effects to keep an eye on when taking on these raids.
