Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta are now available to add to your Pokémon Go collection using a form change mechanic!

While the process of transforming a Pokémon might remind you of the Fusion feature in Pokémon Go, changing Zacian and Zamazenta’s forms is slightly different. The key distinction is that you only need one Pokémon to obtain either Crowned Sword Zacian or Crowned Shield Zamazenta. However, if you want both forms, you’ll need two separate Pokémon.

Let's explore how to switch Zacian and Zamazenta between forms, so you can successfully obtain Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta in Pokémon Go.

How to get Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta

To acquire Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta in Pokémon Go, you must transform the form of a Hero of Many Battles Zacian and/or Zamazenta, provided you have the correct amount of Crowned Sword Energy or Crowned Shield Energy. Additionally, your base Zacian or Zamazenta must know a specific move before transformation…

Here are the full requirements for obtaining both forms:

• Crowned Sword Zacian - 1,000 Crowned Sword Energy and a Hero of Many Battles Zacian who knows Iron Head (Charged Attack)
• Crowned Shield Zamazenta - 1,000 Crowned Shield Energy and a Hero of Many Battles Zamazenta who knows Iron Head (Charged Attack)

We also have a complete guide detailing how to collect Crowned Sword and Shield Energy. You can verify whether your Zacian or Zamazenta knows Iron Head by checking their dedicated page in your Pokémon Storage. Scroll down to view their moveset and confirm if Iron Head is included.

Once you're ready to proceed with the form change, tap the 'Change Form' option located beneath the 'Power Up' button for the selected Pokémon. This will bring up a screen showing how the transformation affects their stats. After confirming with 'Change Form', your Pokémon will be transformed!

You can now use either Crowned Sword Zacian or Crowned Shield Zamazenta in battles. This includes Max Raids, which is especially useful when facing off against Gigantamax opponents.

An added bonus: once you’ve changed a particular Zacian or Zamazenta’s form for the first time, you won’t need to spend additional Crowned Sword or Shield Energy again for that same Pokémon. From then on, you can freely switch it between its Hero of Many Battles and Crowned forms. Please note, however, that this benefit applies only to the transformed Zacian and Zamazenta—any new ones will still require the energy cost.

Also, bear in mind that neither Zacian nor Zamazenta can be transferred to Pokémon Home while in their Crowned forms.
