Everything You Need To Know About The Final Pokemon Go Ultra Unlock This Year

Legendary duo Zacian and Zamazenta from the Galar region in Sword and Shield are coming to the mobile game Pokemon Go later this month.

Making their debut in Pokemon Go, eighth-generation Zacian and Zamazenta were both introduced in 2019s Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield for the Nintendo Switch. Members of the Galar region, Zacian is a Fairy/Steel type, and Zamazenta is a Fighting/Steel type.

Zacian and Zamazenta’s arrival will excite fans!

Neither of these Legendary Pokemon can evolve, however, they do both have second forms. Zacian will activate the Crowned Sword when armed with a Rusted Sword. Zamazenta will activate the Crowned Shield when armed with a Rusted Shield. The activated power-up for the Legendary duo is known as the “Hero of Many Battle” form.

Zacian and Zamazenta will be in their “Hero of Many Battle” forms and are part of the third and final Ultra Unlock event “Sword and Shield.” The final Ultra Unlock for this year will also feature other Pokemon from the Galar region.
