Kingambit Joins Pokémon Go in Crown Clash Event Next Month

As you immerse yourself in the Sweet Discoveries event, get ready for the regal festivities of the upcoming Crown Clash event in Pokémon Go. Mark your calendars for May 10th to 18th, when you'll have the opportunity to evolve the formidable Kingambit, adorn your Pokémon with crowns, and snag plenty of shinies, all while earning bonus XP for evolving.

Kingambit, the Big Blade Pokémon, is set to make its grand debut during the Crown Clash event. To add this powerhouse to your team, you'll need to evolve Bisharp, but here's the catch: Bisharp must be your buddy, and you'll need to defeat 15 Dark- or Steel-type Pokémon in Raid Battles. Bisharp doesn't need to fight; just bring it along to accumulate those victories.

Adding to the royal celebration are two new costumed Pokémon – Nidoqueen and Nidoking, both sporting dazzling crowns. If luck is on your side, you might even encounter their Shiny variants. These majestic creatures will headline the three-star raids, while the one-star raids will feature Sneasel, Klink, and Pawniard.

The wild will be bustling with activity too. Keep an eye out for frequent spawns like Slowpoke (which may reward you with a King’s Rock), Slakoth, Piplup, Combee, Snivy, and Litleo. Pawniard will also appear more often, giving you additional chances to catch this elusive Pokémon.

With double XP for evolving Pokémon, it's the perfect time to tackle your evolution backlog. Engage in event-themed Field Research tasks and a catch-and-evolve Collection Challenge to earn extra XP, Stardust, and another opportunity to capture Pawniard. Trainers at Level 31 and above will even receive guaranteed Candy XL for evolutions upon completing the challenge.

Don't overlook PokéStops, where event-themed Showcases will allow you to flaunt your crown-worthy catches. And to enhance your experience, the Pokémon Go Web Store offers a variety of deals to help you prepare for this thrilling event.
