Zygarde (Japanese: ジガルデ Zygarde) is a Dragon/Ground Legendary Pokémon in the Pokémon Adventures manga.
History
Zygarde was first alluded in the X & Y arc, by Blue when he notes if the power of "Z" could stop Xerneas and Yveltal. It was later silhouetted and mentioned by name by Diantha when she and Blue were conversing on the crisis happening in Kalos. Diantha plans on seeking out Zygarde, with the help of Korrina and Gurkinn, which Blue agrees to help. It first physically appears behind the Sundial of Anistar City, where it startles a few Spritzee and disappears afterwards.
Later it is revealed from Xerosic's flashback, when AZ escaped from Team Flare’s HQ during the clash between Xerneas and Yveltal, he mentioned that their plan will fail because of the Watcher of Kalos will appear when the order is disrupted, calling the Watcher as Z. Xerosic figures out that he was referring to Zygarde, with little information of it, he sent Essentia out to find and capture it. Meanwhile at Anistar City, as Essentia looses control of Xerneas, Zygarde shows up and begins Essentia decides that it is more important to focus on Zygarde. She uses her Trevenant to trap it with tree roots, Zygarde attempted to retaliate by summoning the forces of nature and absorbing them into its body. At that moment Blue and Diantha approaches, but witnesses Essentia successfully capturing Zygarde. Doing so left it completely defenseless, allowing Essentia to easily capture it and escape. Essentia leaves, with Zygarde captured. Blue then explains to the others about Z's key role in helping to win the fight against Team Flare.
Zygarde was later placed in Emma's box. After Lysandre uses a special device to completely control Essentia, it was retrieved and started battling. At the Pokémon Village, Lysandre plans to use Zygarde to battle against X, Blue, and Blaine. As it battled Mewtwo, X had his Marisso smash Essentia's helmet in the hopes that it may sever Lysandre's connection to Zygarde.
Lysandre continues ordering Emma to have Zygarde attack. Emma does so and uses it to defeat Blaine and Mewtwo. Cassius soon arrives and tells Emma that she doesn't need to work with Team Flare and has his Gourgeist destroy Lysandre's controller, breaking his connection to Zygarde. Now freed, Emma attempts to have Zygarde attack Lysandre, only for his Gyarados to attack her. He takes Zygarde's Poké Ball, thus making it under his to command, using it to attack with another Land's Wrath, causing everyone to be sent flying. After Lysandre loses his Mega Ring, X returns with his entire team sent out. Though he is impressed by his feat of Mega Evolving his entire team, Lysandre is unfazed by X's attempt and sends Zygarde to battle X's Mega-Evolved team. It continues to fight X's team as Emma notices green blobs breaking off from its body, remembering that Zygarde absorb it into its body while in Anistar. At that moment, as Xerneas and Yveltal are returning into their dormant forms, Zygard begins to disintegrate, and X hits it with a combined attack from his team. This resulted in Zygarde exploding into millions of green blobs, and Lysandre begins to fall.
