Hero Zamazenta

The Hero of Many Battles, Zamazenta, is a Tier 5 legendary raid boss in Pokémon GO, and it can be shiny! Zamazenta, along with Zacian, is among the two cover legendaries of the Pokémon Sword and Shield games. It can be caught with the following CP values:

• 2100 – 2188 CP at Level 20, no weather boost
• 2625 – 2735 CP at Level 25 with Cloudy weather boost

With pure Fighting typing, Zamazenta is boosted by Cloudy weather, and its counters include strong Psychic, Flying, and Fairy type Pokémon. With strong counters, Zamazenta can be duo’d in ideal weather conditions and high-level counters. But, to be safe, 4-5 high-level trainers can get the job done easily.

The Hero of Many Battles form of Zamazenta can be form changed into the Crowned Shield form of Zamazenta. Let’s check out the best raid counters to make quick work of Zamazenta!

How to get the Crowned Shield form of Zamazenta

With enough Crowned Shield Energy, a Zamazenta that knows the Charged Attack Iron Head can be transformed to become a Crowned Shield Zamazenta. Trainers can transform Hero of Many Battles Zamazenta using 1,000 Crowned Shield Energy as long as it knows the Charged Attack Iron Head.

Pokémon	Requirement	Evolution
Zamazenta knows Iron Head	1000× Crowned Shield Energy	Crowned Shield Zamazenta

When Zamazenta becomes Crowned Shield Zamazenta, its Charged Attack Iron Head will change to the Charged Attack Behemoth Bash. Behemoth Bash is a Steel typed Charge Attack that is the Signature attack of Zamazenta.

All the best, Trainers!
