Hop's Zacian exJourney Together #176 Pokémon Card

Zacian is a legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII, native to the Galar region. Known as the "Warrior Pokémon," it is revered as a hero who saved Galar from a grave threat alongside Zamazenta. Zacian has two forms: Hero of Many Battles, its standard appearance, and Crowned Sword, where it wields a massive, glowing sword in its mouth. While its primary typing in the games is Fairy, its Crowned Sword form adds Steel as a secondary type, making it a formidable opponent. Zacian's diet and behavior are largely mystical, believed to be a protector of the land, sleeping for centuries until its aid is needed once more. Its role in the Pokémon games, particularly Pokémon Sword and Shield, is central to the main storyline, where it helps defeat the Darkest Day. In the anime, Zacian, along with Zamazenta, plays a significant part in pivotal battles, showcasing its immense power and unwavering bravery. Its cultural significance in the Pokémon world is profound, symbolizing heroism, strength, and the enduring spirit of Galar. Zacian does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon. Its type matchups are generally strong against Fighting, Dragon, and Dark types, while being weak to Poison and Steel types in its Fairy form.
