Crown Clash Event Shakes Up Pokémon GO with Kingambit, Shadow Dialga, and Shiny Opportunities!

Get ready, trainers! The world of Pokémon GO is buzzing with activity thanks to the ongoing Crown Clash event and the explosive arrival of Team Rocket's Taken Over mini-event. This event introduces the majestic Kingambit, shadow Pokemon with an addition of shadow Dialga along with an increased chance to get the Shiny Kingambit. Here’s a breakdown of everything you need to know to make the most of this limited-time celebration.

Kingambit's Royal Debut

The highlight of the Crown Clash event is undoubtedly the debut of Kingambit, the final evolution of Pawniard. Originating from Gen 9, this Dark- and Steel-type Pokémon brings a regal flair to the game. Trainers can evolve their Bisharp into Kingambit by defeating 15 Dark- or Steel-type Pokémon in Raid Battles while Bisharp is set as their Buddy. Don't miss the chance to add this powerful warrior to your team!

Shiny Hunting Made Easier?

For collectors, the Crown Clash event offers a boosted chance to snag a Shiny Pawniard, with odds around 1 in 64! This makes acquiring a Shiny Kingambit significantly easier than many other Shiny Pokémon. Focus on 1-star raids and wild encounters during the event to maximize your chances.

Crowned Collection Challenge

The Crowned Collection Challenge is available until May 18th, offering a range of rewards for catching specific Pokémon. This challenge includes catching (or evolving) Pokémon like Snivy, Piplup, Slakoth, Combee, Slowpoke and Litleo. Completing the challenge grants 10,000 XP, 5,000 Stardust, and a Pawniard encounter! Focus on event-exclusive research tasks to find these Pokémon more easily.

Team Rocket's Shadowy Takeover

Adding to the excitement, Team Rocket is back with the Crown Clash: Taken Over event from May 14th to May 18th. This event introduces Shadow Dialga, a formidable addition to Team Rocket's arsenal. Complete the Special Research quest to earn a Super Rocket Radar and battle Giovanni for a chance to catch this legendary Shadow Pokémon.

Event Bonuses and Raids

During the Crown Clash event, enjoy bonuses like double Evolution XP and increased shiny odds for Crown Nidoqueen, Crown Nidoking, Slowpoke, Combee, and Litleo. Raids feature a variety of Pokémon, including Sneasel, Crown Nidoqueen, Tapu Fini, Klink, Crown Nidoking, and Uxie (later Mesprit and Azelf). Don't miss the 1-star Raids which are a good way to come across Shiny Pawniard.

Shadow Raids and New Shadow Pokémon

Alongside Shadow Dialga's debut, new Shadow Pokémon such as Shadow Slakoth, Shadow Inkay, Shadow Tyrunt, and Shadow Amaura will be appearing more frequently. One-star Shadow Raids feature Magnemite, Murkrow, Cyndaquil, and Spoink, while three-star raids include Lapras, Piloswine, and Gurdurr.

Final Thoughts

The Crown Clash event in Pokémon GO is packed with exciting opportunities, from catching the newly released Kingambit to battling Team Rocket and hunting for Shiny Pokémon. With boosted Shiny odds, event-exclusive research tasks, and Team Rocket's return, there's something for every trainer to enjoy.
