Today, we are covering a Pokémon introduced in the eighth generation. Known as a legendary hero, this Pokémon absorbs metal particles, transforming them into a weapon it uses to battle. This Pokémon has slumbered for many years. Some say it's Zamazenta's elder sister-others say the two Pokémon are rivals. Now armed with a weapon it used in ancient times, this Pokémon needs only a single strike to fell even Gigantamax Pokémon. Able to cut down anything with a single strike, it became known as the Fairy King's Sword, and it inspired awe in friend and foe alike. So, here it is, the seventy-third entry, Zacian

Until Next Time, See Ya
