In Pokémon GO, the king form of Zamazenta appears again today. We will show you what you need to pay attention to.
When does the king form of Zamazenta appear? Just like it was yesterday with Zacian, Zamazenta will also receive a raid hour today from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. During this time, the “King of the Shield” form of the Pokémon appears, and you can earn energy for the form change.
Important: All day long, the standard form of Zamazenta also appears in raids. However, you won’t earn energy for the form change! So be careful if your main focus is on energy. It is only available during the raid hour.
Also important: There were issues with energy during yesterday’s king form Zacian raids if challenged through remote raids, when entering the battle outside your own raid hour (via Reddit). So it’s best to plan your raids today really only during the raid hour if you want the energy.

How strong is Zamazenta, King of the Shield, in Pokémon GO?
The short answer: Quite strong. Because it has some uses.
- First of all, it is usable in Dynamax battles and shines there especially as a strong defender.
- It has an adventure effect, which improves the defense of your other Pokémon in raid and dynamax battles.
- It is, like Zacian, among the top steel attackers in raids.
- And according to current rankings from PvPoke, it is currently the strongest Pokémon in the master league.
Therefore, catching the Shield King is definitely worthwhile. The only problem here is that you need 1,000 units of energy to transform Zamazenta into its more powerful form. This will require some raids. However, if you’re just a little short on energy because you didn’t quite make it during the last GO Fest, you have a good opportunity to catch it today.
Otherwise in Pokémon GO: Currently, everything revolves around the Dynamax feature, and this weekend marks the climax: The “Dyna-Finale” brings the opportunity to challenge Endless Dynamax Endynalos in gigantic battles. However, this will be anything but easy. Therefore, you can make good use of strong attackers like Zacian and Zamazenta in their special forms. You can read more about the Dyna-Finale here.
