How many successful raids are needed to get Crowned Sword Zacian and Shield Zamazenta in Pokemon GO?

The Pokemon GO Fest 2025 Global will give all players a chance to obtain Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta on Saturday, June 28, 2025, and Sunday, June 29, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM local time. During this time on both days, both Crowned Shield Zamazenta and Crowned Sword Zacian will appear in 5-star raids. Defeating them will give you some Crowned Energy, which you can then use to get the hero forms of these Pokemon.

The amount of Crowned Energy that you get depends on various factors, like the total time taken during the raid and also the amount of damage that you have done. This article explains the minimum and maximum number of successful raids to get one Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta each in Pokemon GO.

Minimum and maximum number of raids to get Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta in Pokemon GO

You will need to win a minimum of eight Crowned Sword Zacian raids and eight Crowned Shield Zamazenta raids to get one hero legendary of each type in Pokemon GO. As mentioned earlier, the amount of Crowned Energy that you get depends on how fast the entire raid was won, and how much damage you have contributed in the raid.

The minimum number mentioned above (eight) is based on the assumption that you had won each raid in the least amount of time, while also dealing a substantial amount of damage yourself to the raid bosses.

However, you might need to complete a maximum of 13 raids of each Hero Pokemon to amass enough Crowned Sword Energy and Crowned Shield Energy in Pokemon GO. If you take a lot of time to complete each raid, or if you do less damage, you will get a reduced number of Crowned Energy. As such, you will need to do more raids to get the required amount to get the hero forms.

On average, you are likely to receive 100-110 Crowned Energy per raid. Hence, the average number of raids that you need to complete will be 10 each for both Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta in Pokemon GO.

How much Crowned Energy do you need to get one Crowned Sword Zacian and one Crowned Shield Zamazenta in Pokemon GO?

To get one Crowned Sword Zacian, you will need 1000 Crowned Sword Energy in Pokemon GO. Similarly, you will need 1000 Crowned Shield Energy to get one Crowned Shield Zamazenta.

In both cases, your Zacian and Zamazenta must also know the Charged Attack Iron Head to use the Crowned Energy and gain their hero forms.

How much Crowned Energy do you get for completing Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Sword Zamazenta raids?

You will get a minimum of 80 Crowned Sword or Shield Energy from the Zacian Sword and Zamazenta Shield raids respectively in Pokemon GO. You will generally get this if the raid takes too long to complete, or if you do very less damage.

On the other hand, you can get as much as 140 Crowned Sword or Shield Energy per raid if you complete them very fast while also doing a lot of damage in Pokemon GO.
