Key Takeaways

  • Shiny Zacian debuts in Pokemon GO event.
  • Galarian Weezing returns to Pokemon GO with the chance for shiny variants, adding a unique twist to battles.

As a seasoned Pokemon GO trainer with years of experience under my belt, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming Legendary Heroes event! The return of Galarian Weezing and the debut of shiny Zacian are truly the icing on the cake after an otherwise lackluster year.

For the very first time, the radiant Pokemon Zacian, named Shiny Zacian, will make its debut in Pokemon GO during an upcoming Legendary Heroes event. Furthermore, Niantic has announced that Galarian Weezing, initially introduced to Pokemon GO back in 2019, will reappear in a special event commemorating the launch of Pokemon Sword and Shield.

In Generation 8, Zacian is a unique Fairy-type Pokemon that doesn’t undergo evolution, but rather transforms into its Crowned Sword form when holding the Rusted Sword. Accompanying Zacian is Zamazenta, forming the Legendary duo of Galar, a region where players were first introduced to regional forms. Interestingly, one of the creatures that has acquired new forms is Koffing, which metamorphoses into Galarian Weezing, a creature adorned with two heads wearing long top hats and mustaches resembling clouds.

Hey there fellow gamers! Exciting news just dropped for us Pokémon GO enthusiasts: starting September 26th at 10 am local time and running until October 1st at 8 pm, we’ve got the Legendary Heroes event happening! That means the elusive shiny Zacian will be making an appearance in five-star raids, with a lucky catch potentially revealing its shimmering form.
