Like it’s duo partner Zamazenta, Zacian has two forms – Hero of Many Battles and Crowned Sword. Currently you can only capture Zacian in its Hero of Many Battles form, so make sure you know Zacian’s counters and weaknesses.

Zacian, like most legendary Pokémon, appears in five-star raids, so you will need to team up with other trainers to ensure its defeat. Thankfully, a Remote Raid pass will allow you to join this battle from afar.

Everything we know about Zacian

Together, Zacian and Zamazenta make up the Hero duo from the Galar region, with each one being a mascot for either Pokémon Sword and Shield.

The story of the Hero duo – the pair resting in the Slumbering Weald until Galar’s time of need – takes clear inspiration from the tale of how King Arthur may one day return to save the British Isles.

This Arthurian connection is deepened when you consider the possibility that Zacian could be inspired by Excalibur, Arthur’s legendary sword.

In the Pokémon Shield entry for the Crowned Sword version of Zacian, the sword is described as having the ability to cut through anything and referred to as the ‘Fairy King’s Sword,’ which seem to be direct references to the mythical king and his blade.

Good luck catching Zacian in Pokémon Go!
