Kingambit Joins Pokémon Go in Crown Clash Event Next Month

As you wrap up the Sweet Discoveries event, get ready for the regal festivities of the Crown Clash event in Pokémon Go, set to dazzle from May 10th to 18th. This event promises not only a royal showdown but also the debut of the formidable Kingambit, alongside costumed versions of Nidoqueen and Nidoking, and a treasure trove of other rewards.

Kingambit, known as the Big Blade Pokémon, is making its grand entrance during the Crown Clash. To add this powerful Pokémon to your roster, you'll need to evolve Bisharp. But here's the catch: Bisharp must be your buddy, and you'll need to triumph over 15 Dark- or Steel-type Pokémon in Raid Battles. Don't worry, Bisharp doesn't need to fight; just bring it along and collect those victories.

Adding to the royal flair, Nidoqueen and Nidoking will strut their stuff in new crown costumes. Keep your eyes peeled for their Shiny variants, which might just make an appearance. These crowned monarchs will headline three-star raids, while one-star raids will feature Sneasel, Klink, and Pawniard.

In the wild, you'll encounter frequent spawns like Slowpoke (which could lead you to a King’s Rock), Slakoth, Piplup, Combee, Snivy, and Litleo. Pawniard will also make more frequent appearances, if luck is on your side.

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 chance at 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 give you the chance to flaunt your crown-worthy catches. And to prepare for this event, the Pokémon Go Web Store is brimming with deals that will help you gear up for the Crown Clash.
