As you prepare for the Sweet Discoveries event, Pokémon Go is gearing up for the regal Crown Clash event, set to take place from May 10th to 18th. This royal occasion offers a prime opportunity to evolve the powerful Kingambit, adorn your Pokémon with crowns, and hunt for shiny variants while earning bonus XP through evolutions.

Kingambit, known as the Big Blade Pokémon, will make its grand entrance during the Crown Clash event. To add Kingambit to your collection, you must evolve Bisharp, but with a unique twist: Bisharp needs to be set as your buddy, and you must defeat 15 Dark- or Steel-type Pokémon in Raid Battles. Bisharp doesn't need to participate in the battles; simply having it as your buddy while you win those Raids will suffice.

Adding to the excitement, costumed versions of Nidoqueen and Nidoking will debut, each donning majestic crowns. Keep an eye out for their Shiny forms, which might just appear if luck is on your side. These crowned Pokémon will feature prominently in three-star raids, while one-star raids will include Sneasel, Klink, and Pawniard.

The wild will be bustling with activity during the event. You'll encounter frequent spawns of Pokémon like Slowpoke (which could lead to a King’s Rock), Slakoth, Piplup, Combee, Snivy, and Litleo. Pawniard will also appear more often, giving you additional chances to catch this valuable Pokémon.

With double XP for evolving Pokémon, now'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 more chances at Pawniard. Trainers at Level 31 and above will 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. To fully prepare for this event, take advantage of the special deals available at the Pokémon Go Web Store.
