How do you catch Zacian in Pokémon GO?

This Pokémon, and its partner legendary Zamazenta, are found in Five-Star Raids and can only be taken down with a team of trainers. Players should look for the signature blue legendary Raid egg that signifies a powerful Pokémon's presence. This legendary is a Fairy-type which gives it some great resistances and makes it more difficult to defeat. Players should choose their team, and moves, carefully when facing off against Zacian.
