Crowned Sword Zacian Pokémon GO Raid Guide, hundo CP and weakness

Crowned Sword Zacian is rolling out worldwide during Pokémon GO Fest: Global. It will appear in Five-Star Raids on Sunday, June 20 letting Trainers get Crowned Sword energy. Any Crowned Sword Zacian will revert to their Heroes of Many Battles forms when caught, and you'll need 1000 Energy to revert them back to their more powerful form.

Crowned Shield Zacian, like Crowned Sword 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 too. 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 Sword Zacian has a weakness to Fire and Ground-type attacks in Pokémon GO. It has an absolutely massive resistance to Dragon-type attacks, so avoid those as best you can. Dragon-type moves will only do 25% of their usual damage against Crowned Sword Zacian.

Here are the best Pokémon to use when battling Crowned Sword Zacian in Pokémon GO.

Just like for Crowned Shield Zamazenta, there are some great options to take on this Raid in Pokémon GO. This includes some powerful Mega Evolutions, but also some more common and budget options.

The overall best Pokémon to use against Crowned Sword Zacian in Pokémon GO is Primal Groudon. Other great options include Mega Blaziken and Mega Y Charizard. Of course, you can only have one Mega or Primal Pokémon at a time. So, that means you'll need some of the other good options including Blacephalon and Reshiram. Both Pokémon have appeared lately.

More budget options include Delphox and Skeledirge. You will need the special Community Day moves for these Pokémon to be impactful. However, Fuecoco Community Day wasn't very long ago so most Trainers should have a good Skeledirge and the candy to power it up if needed.

Yes, the standard form Zacian you encounter after the Raid can be shiny, so Crowned Sword Zacian can also be shiny in Pokémon GO.

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