How to Find (& Catch) Zekrom in Pokémon GO | Screen Rant
Zekrom is a Legendary Pokemon from the Unova region and has made an appearance in Pokemon Go. This guide will help players locate and capture this Pokemon. Pokemon Go changed the world when it released back in 2016. News headlines and businesses all around the world could not stop talking about how popular Pokemon Go was. Back then, the game was a broken mess, crashing during essential moments and having a hard time staying alive on player's smartphones. Now, the game has been properly optimized to prevent any further issues. Not only that, but new Pokemon are added every year from newer generations. Here's how players can capture Zekrom in Pokemon Go.
Zekrom originates from Pokemon Black and White, the fifth generation of Pokemon and the final generation to release on the Nintendo 3DS. These entries did something bold by allowing players to capture new Pokemon from the Unova region. Any older Pokemon were limited to the post-game, meaning every player's team was full of new Pokemon only (unless the player trades for older Pokemon). This allowed trainers to build bonds with a new generation of Pokemon by letting go of older generations. Zekrom is one of the box legendaries of the fifth generation. Here's how players can find their own in Pokemon Go.
Zekrom can only be captured by participating in a Raid Battle. Since Zekrom is so powerful, the raid is 5-stars, meaning players will need to team up to bring it down. The legendary Pokemon that appear in Raid Battles cycle almost every week, so make sure to pay attention to when Zekrom makes its grand return. Here's what players should do to prepare for this battle.
- Bring a Fairy, Dragon, Ground, or Ice-type Pokemon.
- Players will need at least 7 other trainers to comfortably win this battle. Any less will be nearly impossible.
- Playing with friends of the same team (Valor, Mystic, Instinct) will provide the player with more Premier Balls.
- Playing with non-friends of the same team will provide the player with more Premier Balls.
- Always curve the ball when throwing it, this increases the catch rate.
- Wait until its attack animation is almost over to throw the ball.
- Use Golden Razz Berries.
Repeat this process until Zekrom is yours.
Zekrom is incredibly powerful, giving off the most damage out of any other Electric-type in the game. Pokemon Go did so much to change its gameplay once the situation surrounding COVID-19 occurred. This includes increasing the range to reach gyms and PokeStops, new items, and a Remote Raid Battle item. The game continues to thrive during these trying times. It is still one of the best mobile games on the market.
Pokemon Go is available now on iOS and Android.
