Zekrom is back in Pokemon Go for the first time since 2021. This Pokemon will be available for a limited time, so this is your opportunity to catch a shiny Zekrom.
Zekrom is a dual Dragon and Electric type from the Unova region. It is part of the Tao Trio with Reshiram and Kyurem. Zekrom doesn’t have an evolution. Zekrom appeared on Pokemon Go for the first time in June of 2020 and was available for three weeks.
Zekrom returned to Pokemon Go in July of 2021 as part of the Pokemon Go Fest that year. It became available a second time in 2021, this time in December for two weeks. During this appearance, Pokemon Go added shiny Zekrom to the game.
Now, Zekrom is making a comeback for a limited time. Every time a Legendary is featured, it should be treated like the final chance to get it. Chances are it won’t return to the game for at least 12 months.
