'''Zygarde''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジガルデ''' ''Zygarde'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].
'''Zygarde''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジガルデ''' ''Zygarde'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].
 
While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has three [[#Form data|forms]]: '''Zygarde 10% Forme''', '''Zygarde 50% Forme''', and '''Zygarde Complete Forme'''.
 
Additionally, there are two basic components of Zygarde: '''[[Zygarde Core]]s''', which act as the brains of Zygarde, and '''[[Zygarde Cell]]s''', which compose Zygarde's forms and are non-sentient. Neither Zygarde Cores nor Zygarde Cells can use [[move]]s or are useful in battles by themselves. They are stored inside a [[Zygarde Cube]].


While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it has the following three [[List of Pokémon with form differences|Formes]], which all retain Zygarde's Dragon/Ground typing:
Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}. The Zygarde Cells, Zygarde Cores, Zygarde 10% Forme, and Zygarde Complete Forme were revealed in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine and later introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.  
* '''Zygarde 10% Forme''', which resembles a dog.
* '''Zygarde 50% Forme''', the Forme found in {{pkmn|X and Y|X, Y}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire}}, which resembles a snake.
* '''Zygarde Complete Forme''', which is humanoid.


Along with these Formes are two basic components of Zygarde; '''Zygarde Cores''', which act as the brains of Zygarde; and '''Zygarde Cells''', which cannot think and comprise Zygarde's Formes.
A [[Squishy|Zygarde Core]] played an important role in the {{pkmn|anime}}'s ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY|XY&Z]]'' arc.


Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in Pokémon X and Y. Zygarde Cell, Zygarde Core, Zygarde 10% Forme, and Zygarde Complete Forme were announced in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine.
Zygarde, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.


==Biology==
==Biology==
Zygarde 50% Forme has a serpent-like body with a green and black pattern on it. There are black frills on the back of its head like a frilled lizard. Its eyes comprise four green hexagons like the compound eyes of of an insect. More green hexagons are on the front and back of its frills. The hexagons on its eyes and frills can glow. Its tail is flat and is black on top and green on the bottom. Its tail ends with five separate green tendrils. It is said to monitor the ecosystem, and if the ecosystem falls into disarray, it appears and reveals its power.
Zygarde is a green and black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose form depends on the percentage of [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s it has gathered together. Zygarde's Cores and Cells do not have the power to battle alone and can only fight when combined to form Zygarde. Zygarde serves as the protector of the planet's ecosystem. Zygarde is shown to be capable of [[Land's Wrath (move)|gathering the energy of the land]] and focus it on its foes, damaging them. It has the ability to divide its cells from its body temporarily, using them as weapons, either as {{m|Thousand Arrows|arrows}} or {{m|Thousand Waves|waves}}. Zygarde usually stays out of the sight of others. It has been referred to as a guardian of the ecosystem<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: :''"It is said this Legendary Pokémon is a guardian of the ecosystem."''</ref>. Zygarde keeps a close watch on the planet and on its two counterparts {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}, ensuring the equilibrium of the planet and the cycle of life and death are kept in check. Normally, Zygarde avoids getting involved in conflicts unless the ecosystem is in grave danger. As seen in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', should Zygarde be affected by outside influence, its color changes from green to red, as depicted in the episode ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]''.


Zygarde Complete Forme has a large, humanoid body with a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's body. It has two similar appendages protruding from each of its shoulders. On each of these appendages is a hexagon and an undulating pattern; on its right side, these are colored blue, and on its left side they are colored red. It has multiple white protrusions on its body: three on each hand, one on each knee, and one and the front of its feet. Above its lower abdomen is a large, round section which is either its chest or its head. Upon this, there is a zig-zagging pattern which fades from blue to white to red. Above this pattern are two green marks. Above this round section is a protrusion shaped like a crown, with three white hexagonal marks above four horizontal ones, the uppermost white one having a very thin diamond shape through it. Directly above this mark is a final green hexagon. These hexagons appear similar to jewels within the "crown". Surrounding this is are triangular protrusions connected by another upside-down triangle which is jagged at the top. Zygarde Complete Forme is said to exceed both {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}} in power, possessing 100% of its total cells. Zygarde only enters Complete Forme when the Zygarde Core believes it is outmatched.
Zygarde is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Land's Wrath}}, {{m|Thousand Arrows}}, {{m|Thousand Waves}}, and {{m|Core Enforcer}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Aura Break}} and {{a|Power Construct}} as its {{Abilities}}.


Zygarde 10% Forme has a relatively small, mostly black canine body with a green "scarf" that continues beyond the neck. Its muzzle is black at the top and green elsewhere. Its eyes are white hexagons with a black outline and no discernable pupils; directly above the eyes are two small green hexagons which resemble eyebrows. On its forehead is a very thin, white ellipse. Its "scarf" is entirely green with a small red hexagon connected to the bottom. On each of its legs are hexagonal protrusions, all the same color black as the legs themselves. On the front two legs, there are two. On the back legs are three protrusions, and on the left leg is a particularly long one made up of two hexagons. On each of its hind legs is another hexagonal shape, with a noticeable gap before a small square protrusion above it. Zygarde 10% Forme possesses 10% of Zygarde's total cells. It has razor-sharp teeth and can reach speeds up to {{tt|60 mph|100 km/h}}.
===Forms===
Zygarde has three forms: Zygarde 10% Forme, Zygarde 50% Forme, and Zygarde Complete Forme, which are composed of [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s.


Zygarde Core is a part of the mind of Zygarde, and has a small and leafy-green gelatinous body comprised of a large, round head, a moderately-sized body, and a thin, hook-shaped bottom section which may be a tail. Its head is rounded except for a protruding, beak-shaped area at the bottom front which may be a nose or a mouth. Within its head is a single, oval eye which has a smaller black, oval pupil within it. Beside this eye is another white, semi-elliptic shape which may be a second eye. Within its midsection is a nearly regular hexagon. There are two Zygarde Cores, one composed of a red hexagon and one composed of a blue hexagon. They are self-aware and can communicate via telepathy, monitoring the ecosystem around them. Zygarde Cores get their energy through {{wp|photosynthesis}}.

Zygarde Cells make up Zygarde, and appears very similar to the Zygarde Core. Unlike the Core, it is flat, has a green pupil, and has a darker green, more elongated hexagon within its midsection. Unlike the Cores' hook-like bottom section, the Cells have a long and more noticeably tail-like back-end. Zygarde Cells are unable to think and incapable of using [[move]]s.
;Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells
[[File:Zygarde Core SM concept art.png|thumb|left|200px|Zyagrde Cores are individuals who can combine with Zygarde Cells to make a whole being]]
Zygarde Cores are the brain of the Zygarde, and a Zygarde may contain up to five Cores. A Zygarde Core is a small, green Pokémon with a gelatinous body. It has a large, round head with a beak-shaped protrusion on the front, a thin, hook-shaped tail, and a red hexagon suspended in its body. Within its head is a single eye with a black pupil; beside this eye is another white oval that may be a second eye.  


Zygarde is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Land's Wrath}}.
The Zygarde Core remains in watch of the region, usually living in caves. The Cores have their own will and are sometimes able to act on their own. The Zygarde Core can form and control both the body and the Zygarde Cells through a command.<ref name=CoresCells>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Zygarde’s Cores and Cells] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160814031551/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ archive])</ref> Zygarde Cores are capable of absorbing sunlight to regain their strength, can speak telepathically, communicate with other Cores, and use the Cells to observe the ecosystem, as depicted in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[XY095|Love Strikes! Eevee, Yikes!]]''.


==In the anime==
Zygarde Cells make up every other part of Zygarde and appear nearly identical to the Zygarde Core. Unlike the Core, it has a flat body and head. It has a green pupil, a simpler, unhooked tail, and a darker green, more elongated hexagon within its midsection.

===Major appearances===
Zygarde Cells tend to be scattered around the region. The Zygarde Cells form the rest of Zygarde's body and are only able to act on the Core's orders.<ref name=CoresCells/> The Zygarde Cells allows the Zygarde Core to observe the ecosystem, as depicted in ''Love Strikes! Eevee, Yikes!''. The Cells have the ability to fly, allowing them to reach a Zygarde Core.  
===={{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Zygarde}}====
=====[[Puni-chan]]=====
Zygarde is a major target of [[Team Flare]] in the anime. Zygarde Cells and one of its Cores made their anime debuts in [[SS035]]. Thanks to the help of [[Mairin]]'s Chespin, Chespie, the Core managed to escape [[Lysandre Labs]], and came across {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in [[XY093]]. {{an|Bonnie}} was immediately taken with the unidentified Pokémon, and was nicknamed ''[[Puni-chan]]'' by {{an|Bonnie}}. It currently travels in Bonnie's bag, alongside {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}.


Puni-chan later transformed into 10% Forme after being separated from Bonnie and the others to defend itself against [[Bryony]] and her subordinates.

====={{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Z-2}}=====
;10% Forme
A Zygarde known by the code name '''Z-2''' by Team Flare appeared as a 50% Forme Zygarde in [[XY093]]. It managed to escape Team Flare by using {{m|Land's Wrath}}. <!--It will reappear as a blue Zygarde core in a future episode.-->
[[File:Zygarde 10 Percent SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Zyagrde 10% resembles a canine and has impressive speed, it contaisn one core.]]
Zygarde 10% Forme has a relatively small canine body. It is primarily black with a green collar and a leash-like extension on its neck. Additional green markings include two hexagon markings on its chest, a small hexagon over each eye, the area around its mouth, and its front left paw. There is an elongated, red hexagon marking attached to the collar marking. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils and there is a thin, white line on its forehead. On each of its legs are hexagonal extensions: two on the back of each elbow, one behind each knee, and two on each hip. One of the hip extensions is longer than the other on each hip. Zygarde 10% Forme also has razor-sharp teeth.


===Minor appearances===
10% Zygarde is created when a Zygarde Core combines with only a tenth of the total Zygarde Cells. The 10% Forme is skilled at close range combat. It is also capable of running at speeds greater than 60 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour). A single Core acts as the brain for the 10% form. This allows it to take action separately from Zygarde's 50% Forme, which comprises its main body, for a short time before separating.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ Pokémon Sun and Moon Site | Zygarde 10% Forme] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143708/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ archive])</ref>
Zygarde Cells made their main series debut in [[XY093]].
{{left clear}}


Zygarde Complete Forme will make its anime debut in [[XY097]] in a dream.
;50% Forme
[[File:Encountering Zygarde XY.png|thumb|left|<!-- This is an APNG, do not edit the size or it won't animate-->Encountering {{fd|Zygarde|Zygarde 50% Forme}} in Pokémon X and Y]]
Zygarde 50% Forme has a serpentine body with green and black markings. Most of its back, head, and neck are black, while the underbelly and the tip of its tail are green. Its eyes are made of four green hexagons, similar to an insect with {{wp|compound eye}}s, and there is a thin, white line down the center of its face. Across the back of its neck is a large frill made of five long, flat protrusions that each have two small, green hexagons on them. There are three short tendrils on either side of its chest; they are black on the right and green on the left. Its tail also ends in five tendrils. It has many small, green hexagon markings on its body capable of glowing.  


===Pokédex entries===
The 50% Forme of Zygarde is formed from half of its Cores and Cells reuniting. Zygarde is thought to monitor those who destroy the ecosystem from deep within its cave. This form of Zygarde is known to be both ruthless and merciless, destroying anyone who stands in its way. Zygarde can summon and control massive roots, which it can use to attack and cover areas, as depicted in the episode ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]''. In the same episode, it is shown to affect the weather by changing the sky to the color red.

==In the manga==
;Complete Forme
===In the Pokémon  Adventures manga===
[[File:Zygarde Complete SM concept art.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Complete Forme Zygarde's complex biology]]
Zygarde was first alluded in the {{chap|X & Y}}, by {{adv|Blue}} when he notes if the power of "Z" could stop {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. It was later silhouetted in it's 50% Forme 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.
Zygarde Complete Forme has a large, humanoid body with a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's body. There are several flat protrusions around its head and triangular protrusions around its neck. These protrusions create a crown shape. On its face are three white hexagonal marks: one in the middle of its forehead with a line through it and two that act as eyes. There are an additional five green hexagons on its face: four along the bottom and one in the middle of a short protrusion on top. Each shoulder has two serpentine wings protruding from it. The wings all have an undulating pattern and a hexagon near the tip: blue on the right side and red on the left. There are multiple white protrusions on its body: three on each hand acting as claws, one on each knee, and one and the front of each foot. Additionally, there are green hexagons surrounding its wrists and two under the white protrusions on its knees and feet. Its abdomen has a vertical, hexagonal pattern with a thin, white line on either side. Across its chest is a thin, zigzagging opening that fades between five colors: red, orange, white, cyan, and blue.


==In the TCG==
The Complete Forme of Zygarde is formed when 100% of its Cells and Cores come together. Zygarde Complete Forme contains separate Cores for each of its wings and its tail. In this case, each Core can make decisions and act independently of the others.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Zygarde Complete Forme] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143718/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ archive])</ref> In ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', Zygarde is shown capable of using the mouths of its tail and wings to propel itself, by shooting beams out of them. In the same episode, Zygarde Complete Forme is shown to restore an unbalanced ecosystem and weather back to normal. The opening on its chest can radiate enough energy to destroy everything around it. This form only appears to neutralize threats to the ecosystems or in response to an imbalance caused by Xerneas or Yveltal.

===Form data===
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s also appear in the story of the [[Generation VII]] games, but they are not catchable Pokémon or registered in the Pokédex; they make up Zygarde's forms and are not forms themselves.
 
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde's only form was 50% Forme (unnamed at the time).
 
Since [[Generation VII]], all three forms are available. Zygarde's 10% Forme and 50% Forme can be changed with the help of external tools: the [[Reassembly Unit]] and the Zygarde Cube. Zygarde can enter its Complete Forme during battle, and only if it has the Ability Power Construct.
 
The 10% Forme and 50% Forme of Zygarde can have the {{Abilities}} {{a|Aura Break}} or {{a|Power Construct}}. Internally, these are all separate forms. This makes it impossible to switch Zygarde's Ability with [[Ability Capsule]]s or [[Ability Patch]]es; the [[Reassembly Unit]] or the [[Zygarde Cube]] must be used instead.
 
;Zygarde with {{a|Aura Break}}
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde could only have Aura Break and had no forms.
 
In [[Generation VII]], a Zygarde with Aura Break could be transformed by the [[Reassembly Unit]]. This machine could create a 10% or 50% Zygarde with Aura Break or upgrade a 10% Zygarde with Aura Break to 50%; it could also upgrade either to a 50% Zygarde with Power Construct.
 
Since [[Generation VIII]], the [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change form" function can change Zygarde with Aura Break between 10% Forme and 50% Forme. Its "Change Ability" function can also change its Ability to Power Construct.
 
;Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}
The [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change Forme"{{sup/7|SMUSUM}}/"Change form" function can change Zygarde with Power Construct between 10% Forme and 50% Forme. Since [[Generation VIII]], its "Change Ability" function can also change its Ability to Aura Break.
 
Any Zygarde with Power Construct will change to Complete Forme in battle if its [[HP]] drops below half. At the end of battle, a Complete Forme Zygarde will return to its original form with the same HP it ended the battle with (within its original form's maximum HP).

===Main series===
[[File:Z2 50 Percent Forme.png|thumb|250px|Zygarde 50% Forme in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Squishy]]=====
Zygarde is a major target of [[Team Flare]] in the anime. Zygarde Cells and one of its Cores debuted in ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]''. With the help of [[Mairin]]'s {{p|Chespin}}, [[Chespie]], this Core managed to escape [[Lysandre Labs]], and it subsequently came across {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]''. {{an|Bonnie}} was immediately taken with it and [[nickname]]d it "Squishy". It traveled in Bonnie's bag alongside {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. Squishy later transformed into its 10% and 50% Formes to defend itself against [[Bryony]] and her subordinates, thus marking the debut of both forms. In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', when Alva used his laser weapon onto the [[Azoth Kingdom]], it transformed into its Complete Forme to protect the kingdom, thus marking the form's debut.
Squishy is known by the code name '''Z1''' by Team Flare.
=====[[Z2]]=====
A Zygarde known by the code name '''Z2''' by Team Flare appeared as a 50% Forme Zygarde in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]''. It managed to escape Team Flare by using {{m|Land's Wrath}}. It appeared as a Zygarde Core during ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', being contacted by [[Squishy]].
Unlike Squishy's red core, Z2 has a blue core.
=====Other=====
A Zygarde appeared in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where it was seen in its 10% Forme. In the flashback, it destroyed the kingdom ruled by [[Veofum]] with {{m|Land's Wrath}}.
A {{Shiny}} 10% Forme Zygarde appeared in [[HZ045]], under the ownership of [[Gibeon]].
====Minor appearances====
Zygarde's Complete Forme's first appearance in the anime was in ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', where it appeared in a dream.
A Zygarde appeared in its 50% Forme in the opening sequence of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Zygarde (Adventures)}}
Zygarde debuted in ''[[PS584|Hawlucha Attacks]]''. It first appeared in [[Anistar City]], where it was {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Emma|Essentia]]. It was later used by her against [[Team Flare]]'s enemies at [[Pokémon Village]]. Eventually, she started to rebel, prompting [[Lysandre]] to take direct control of Zygarde. When [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} reverted to their dormant forms, Zygarde lost the need to keep itself active and disintegrated.
Zygarde also played a notable role in the {{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}. Having been sent to [[Alola]] to find it, [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] hired {{adv|Sun}} to gather the Zygarde Cells and Cores scattered around Alola. During the climax of the chapter, Zygarde used the Reassembly Unit on {{rt|16|Alola}} to transform into its Complete Forme, before joining the battle against {{adv|Necrozma}} at [[Mount Lanakila]].

===Origin===
===Origin===
Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance is based on a serpent in the shape of the letter Z. It may also draw inspiration from the sea serpent {{wp|Jörmungandr}} and the dragon {{wp|Níðhöggr}}. According to the {{wp|Prose Edda}}, Jörmungandr is a child of {{wp|Loki}} who was tossed into the great ocean that encircles {{wp|Midgard}} by {{wp|Odin}}. The serpent grew so large that he was able to surround the earth and grasp his own tail. As a result, he  received the name of the Midgard Serpent or the World Serpent. When Jörmungandr lets go of his tail, the world will end. {{wp|Níðhöggr}} is the dragon from the {{wp|Poetic Edda}} which resides at the bottom of the world tree {{wp|Yggdrasill}} and gnaws at its roots. Níðhöggr is identified as both a dragon and a serpent in the {{wp|Skáldskaparmál}} section of the {{wp|Prose Edda}}. The patterns spread across Zygarde 50% Forme's body are very similar to {{wp|ribose}} and {{wp|deoxyribose}} molecules. Its tail's shape is possibly based on {{wp|base pair}} {{wp|codons}}, the essential building blocks of the {{wp|DNA}} {{wp|double helix}}.
Zygarde's 10%, 50%, and Complete Formes may be inspired in part by the three children of {{wp|Loki}} and {{wp|Angrboða}} in {{wp|Norse mythology}}: {{wp|Fenrir}}, {{wp|Jörmungandr}}, and {{wp|Hel (being)|Hel}}.


Zygarde 10% Forme appears to be based on {{wp|Fenrir}}, one of the children of Loki. In Norse mythology, Fenrir is a monstrous wolf which was foretold to bring the gods great trouble and harm. Because of this, the gods prepared three {{wp|Legcuffs|fetters}} to bind him. Only the last of the shackles, {{wp|Gleipnir}}, a ribbon-like binding created by dwarfs, could hold him. The green scarf-like object around Zygarde 10% Forme's neck could be based on Gleipnir, which is said to hold until {{wp|Ragnarök}}. Zygarde 10% Forme's razor sharp teeth may be an allusion to Fenrir biting off the right hand of {{wp|Týr}}, who courageously placed it in the Fenrir's jaws at his request, a false pledge of good faith meant to trick Fenrir. This Forme could also be based on {{wp|Garmr}}, the dog of Hel and watchdog that guards Hel's gate. Zygarde 10% Forme's appearance resembles a {{wp|Doberman Pinscher}}.
Zygarde 10% Forme may be based on the wolf Fenrir. The green leash-like object around its neck could be based on {{wp|Gleipnir}}, the rope that binds Fenrir. Its left front paw has a different color from the others, being green instead of black, which is possibly a reference to Fenrir biting off the god {{wp|Týr}}'s right hand in reprisal for being bound by him. This Forme could also draw inspiration from {{wp|Garmr}}, the watchdog that guards {{wp|Hel (location)|Helheim}}'s gate. In appearance, it resembles a {{wp|Dobermann|Doberman Pinscher}}.


Zygarde Complete Forme is possibly based on {{wp|Hel (being)|Hel}}, the ruler of {{wp|Hel (location)|Helheim}}, the realm of the dead in Nordic myth. Along with Jörmungandr and Fenrir, Hel is a child of Loki. Most incarnations depict her as a half alive and half dead being, which may have inspired Zygarde's theme of the balance between life and death. The uppermost section on Zygarde Complete Forme resembles a crown with jewels embedded within it, which may be a reference to Hel's title of Queen Hel in {{wp|Bartholomeus saga postola}}. It is also possible that the Complete Forme is based on Loki himself. Loki, like Fenrir and Jörmungandr, fights a god during Ragnarok and is ultimately killed. The colors on Complete Forme's chest match the colors of the real-world {{wp|flag of France}}, the country which inspired the [[region]] of [[Kalos]]. The red and blue markings on either side of Zygarde Complete Forme may represent Yveltal and Xerneas, as this Forme exceeds both of their powers.
Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance is based on a serpent in the shape of the letter Z. It may also draw inspiration from Jörmungandr, a sea serpent that encircles the earth; and {{wp|Níðhöggr}}, a dragon that gnaws at the roots of {{wp|Yggdrasil}}, the world tree. Jörmungandr is said to “dwell in the world sea, encircling the Earth (Midgard),” which may allude to  Zygarde’s partial Ground typing (“Earth”) and the 50% Forme being the middle forme (“Midgard”). Its flat shape and wriggling movement may be inspired by the {{wp|tsuchinoko}}, a Japanese cryptid, and its snakelike appearance may be inspired by {{wp|nāga}}, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures.  


Zygarde Cell and Zygarde Core are based on cells. Both look similar to {{wp|flatworm}}s, specifically those in the genus {{wp|planaria}}. Their appearances resemble the wide body of the {{wp|Tsuchinoko}}. The hexagons on them could represent a cell's membranes.
Zygarde Complete Forme may be based on Hel, the ruler of {{wp|Helheim}}, the realm of the dead in Nordic myth. The colors on its Complete Forme's chest match the colors of the real-world {{wp|flag of France}}, the country which inspired the [[region]] of [[Kalos]]. These three colors match Kalos' pentagonal emblem that is split between three sections matching each section of Kalos' sub regions: blue on the left depcting Coastal Kalos, red on the right depecting Mountain Kalos, and white in the middle depicting central Kalos. The blue and red colors also match the colors of {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Design-wise, it resembles a humanoid {{wp|Mecha anime and manga|giant mecha}} despite its organic basis; its light-up technological appearance, "transforming"/"combining" gimmick, and the face-like pattern on its chest are all tropes commonly used for fictional mecha.


The order of Zygarde's 10%, 50%, and Complete Forme mirrors how powerful their counterpart is: Fenrir and Jörmungandr being below gods, and Hel or Loki being on equal-footing with the gods.
Zygarde Cell and Zygarde Core may be based on cells as well as {{wp|flatworm}}s (specifically {{wp|Planarian|planaria}}) and single-celled organisms such as {{wp|slime mold}}s and members of ''{{wp|Euglena}}''. Some planarians' {{wp|Simple eye in invertebrates#Ocelli|ocelli}} also resemble eyes, which may have inspired the designs for the Cell and Core Zygarde. The hexagons within them may represent a {{wp|cell nucleus}}.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Zygarde comes from the letter {{wp|Z}}. It may be derived from ζυγωτός ''zygōtos'' (Greek for ''joined''), ''zygote'', and ''garde'' (French for ''guard''), and ''zygōtos'' and ''midgard'' (Old Norse: ''Miðgarðr'').
Zygarde begins with the letter {{wp|Z}}, following the pattern established by {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. It may also be derived from ζυγωτός ''zygōtos'' (Greek for joined) or ''zygote'', ''garde'' (French for guard), and ''garðr'' (Old Norse for enclosure; realm).

Zygarde (Japanese: ジガルデ Zygarde) is a dual-type Dragon/Ground Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has three forms: Zygarde 10% Forme, Zygarde 50% Forme, and Zygarde Complete Forme.

Additionally, there are two basic components of Zygarde: Zygarde Cores, which act as the brains of Zygarde, and Zygarde Cells, which compose Zygarde's forms and are non-sentient. Neither Zygarde Cores nor Zygarde Cells can use moves or are useful in battles by themselves. They are stored inside a Zygarde Cube.

Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in Pokémon X and Y. The Zygarde Cells, Zygarde Cores, Zygarde 10% Forme, and Zygarde Complete Forme were revealed in the October 2015 issue of CoroCoro magazine and later introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon.

A Zygarde Core played an important role in the anime's XY&Z arc.

Zygarde, Xerneas, and Yveltal are often collectively referred to as the Aura trio by fans.

Biology

Zygarde is a green and black Pokémon whose form depends on the percentage of Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells it has gathered together. Zygarde's Cores and Cells do not have the power to battle alone and can only fight when combined to form Zygarde. Zygarde serves as the protector of the planet's ecosystem. Zygarde is shown to be capable of gathering the energy of the land and focus it on its foes, damaging them. It has the ability to divide its cells from its body temporarily, using them as weapons, either as arrows or waves. Zygarde usually stays out of the sight of others. It has been referred to as a guardian of the ecosystem[1]. Zygarde keeps a close watch on the planet and on its two counterparts Xerneas and Yveltal, ensuring the equilibrium of the planet and the cycle of life and death are kept in check. Normally, Zygarde avoids getting involved in conflicts unless the ecosystem is in grave danger. As seen in Pokémon the Series, should Zygarde be affected by outside influence, its color changes from green to red, as depicted in the episode Down to the Fiery Finish!.

Zygarde is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the moves Land's Wrath, Thousand Arrows, Thousand Waves, and Core Enforcer. It is also the only known Pokémon that can have Aura Break and Power Construct as its Abilities.

Forms

Zygarde has three forms: Zygarde 10% Forme, Zygarde 50% Forme, and Zygarde Complete Forme, which are composed of Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells.

Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells
Zyagrde Cores are individuals who can combine with Zygarde Cells to make a whole being

Zygarde Cores are the brain of the Zygarde, and a Zygarde may contain up to five Cores. A Zygarde Core is a small, green Pokémon with a gelatinous body. It has a large, round head with a beak-shaped protrusion on the front, a thin, hook-shaped tail, and a red hexagon suspended in its body. Within its head is a single eye with a black pupil; beside this eye is another white oval that may be a second eye.

The Zygarde Core remains in watch of the region, usually living in caves. The Cores have their own will and are sometimes able to act on their own. The Zygarde Core can form and control both the body and the Zygarde Cells through a command.[2] Zygarde Cores are capable of absorbing sunlight to regain their strength, can speak telepathically, communicate with other Cores, and use the Cells to observe the ecosystem, as depicted in the Pokémon the Series episode Love Strikes! Eevee, Yikes!.

Zygarde Cells make up every other part of Zygarde and appear nearly identical to the Zygarde Core. Unlike the Core, it has a flat body and head. It has a green pupil, a simpler, unhooked tail, and a darker green, more elongated hexagon within its midsection.

Zygarde Cells tend to be scattered around the region. The Zygarde Cells form the rest of Zygarde's body and are only able to act on the Core's orders.[2] The Zygarde Cells allows the Zygarde Core to observe the ecosystem, as depicted in Love Strikes! Eevee, Yikes!. The Cells have the ability to fly, allowing them to reach a Zygarde Core.

10% Forme
Zyagrde 10% resembles a canine and has impressive speed, it contaisn one core.

Zygarde 10% Forme has a relatively small canine body. It is primarily black with a green collar and a leash-like extension on its neck. Additional green markings include two hexagon markings on its chest, a small hexagon over each eye, the area around its mouth, and its front left paw. There is an elongated, red hexagon marking attached to the collar marking. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils and there is a thin, white line on its forehead. On each of its legs are hexagonal extensions: two on the back of each elbow, one behind each knee, and two on each hip. One of the hip extensions is longer than the other on each hip. Zygarde 10% Forme also has razor-sharp teeth.

10% Zygarde is created when a Zygarde Core combines with only a tenth of the total Zygarde Cells. The 10% Forme is skilled at close range combat. It is also capable of running at speeds greater than 60 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour). A single Core acts as the brain for the 10% form. This allows it to take action separately from Zygarde's 50% Forme, which comprises its main body, for a short time before separating.[3]

50% Forme
Encountering Zygarde 50% Forme in Pokémon X and Y

Zygarde 50% Forme has a serpentine body with green and black markings. Most of its back, head, and neck are black, while the underbelly and the tip of its tail are green. Its eyes are made of four green hexagons, similar to an insect with compound eyes, and there is a thin, white line down the center of its face. Across the back of its neck is a large frill made of five long, flat protrusions that each have two small, green hexagons on them. There are three short tendrils on either side of its chest; they are black on the right and green on the left. Its tail also ends in five tendrils. It has many small, green hexagon markings on its body capable of glowing.

The 50% Forme of Zygarde is formed from half of its Cores and Cells reuniting. Zygarde is thought to monitor those who destroy the ecosystem from deep within its cave. This form of Zygarde is known to be both ruthless and merciless, destroying anyone who stands in its way. Zygarde can summon and control massive roots, which it can use to attack and cover areas, as depicted in the episode Down to the Fiery Finish!. In the same episode, it is shown to affect the weather by changing the sky to the color red.

Complete Forme
Complete Forme Zygarde's complex biology

Zygarde Complete Forme has a large, humanoid body with a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's body. There are several flat protrusions around its head and triangular protrusions around its neck. These protrusions create a crown shape. On its face are three white hexagonal marks: one in the middle of its forehead with a line through it and two that act as eyes. There are an additional five green hexagons on its face: four along the bottom and one in the middle of a short protrusion on top. Each shoulder has two serpentine wings protruding from it. The wings all have an undulating pattern and a hexagon near the tip: blue on the right side and red on the left. There are multiple white protrusions on its body: three on each hand acting as claws, one on each knee, and one and the front of each foot. Additionally, there are green hexagons surrounding its wrists and two under the white protrusions on its knees and feet. Its abdomen has a vertical, hexagonal pattern with a thin, white line on either side. Across its chest is a thin, zigzagging opening that fades between five colors: red, orange, white, cyan, and blue.

The Complete Forme of Zygarde is formed when 100% of its Cells and Cores come together. Zygarde Complete Forme contains separate Cores for each of its wings and its tail. In this case, each Core can make decisions and act independently of the others.[4] In Forming a More Perfect Union!, Zygarde is shown capable of using the mouths of its tail and wings to propel itself, by shooting beams out of them. In the same episode, Zygarde Complete Forme is shown to restore an unbalanced ecosystem and weather back to normal. The opening on its chest can radiate enough energy to destroy everything around it. This form only appears to neutralize threats to the ecosystems or in response to an imbalance caused by Xerneas or Yveltal.

Form data

Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. Zygarde Cells and Zygarde Cores also appear in the story of the Generation VII games, but they are not catchable Pokémon or registered in the Pokédex; they make up Zygarde's forms and are not forms themselves.

In Generation VI, Zygarde's only form was 50% Forme (unnamed at the time).

Since Generation VII, all three forms are available. Zygarde's 10% Forme and 50% Forme can be changed with the help of external tools: the Reassembly Unit and the Zygarde Cube. Zygarde can enter its Complete Forme during battle, and only if it has the Ability Power Construct.

The 10% Forme and 50% Forme of Zygarde can have the Abilities Aura Break or Power Construct. Internally, these are all separate forms. This makes it impossible to switch Zygarde's Ability with Ability Capsules or Ability Patches; the Reassembly Unit or the Zygarde Cube must be used instead.

Zygarde with Aura Break

In Generation VI, Zygarde could only have Aura Break and had no forms.

In Generation VII, a Zygarde with Aura Break could be transformed by the Reassembly Unit. This machine could create a 10% or 50% Zygarde with Aura Break or upgrade a 10% Zygarde with Aura Break to 50%; it could also upgrade either to a 50% Zygarde with Power Construct.

Since Generation VIII, the Zygarde Cube's "Change form" function can change Zygarde with Aura Break between 10% Forme and 50% Forme. Its "Change Ability" function can also change its Ability to Power Construct.

Zygarde with Power Construct

The Zygarde Cube's "Change Forme"SMUSUM/"Change form" function can change Zygarde with Power Construct between 10% Forme and 50% Forme. Since Generation VIII, its "Change Ability" function can also change its Ability to Aura Break.

Any Zygarde with Power Construct will change to Complete Forme in battle if its HP drops below half. At the end of battle, a Complete Forme Zygarde will return to its original form with the same HP it ended the battle with (within its original form's maximum HP).

Major appearances

Squishy

Zygarde is a major target of Team Flare in the anime. Zygarde Cells and one of its Cores debuted in Mega Evolution Special IV. With the help of Mairin's Chespin, Chespie, this Core managed to escape Lysandre Labs, and it subsequently came across Ash and his friends in From A to Z!. Bonnie was immediately taken with it and nicknamed it "Squishy". It traveled in Bonnie's bag alongside Dedenne. Squishy later transformed into its 10% and 50% Formes to defend itself against Bryony and her subordinates, thus marking the debut of both forms. In Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel, when Alva used his laser weapon onto the Azoth Kingdom, it transformed into its Complete Forme to protect the kingdom, thus marking the form's debut.

Squishy is known by the code name Z1 by Team Flare.

Z2

A Zygarde known by the code name Z2 by Team Flare appeared as a 50% Forme Zygarde in From A to Z!. It managed to escape Team Flare by using Land's Wrath. It appeared as a Zygarde Core during Meeting at Terminus Cave!, being contacted by Squishy.

Unlike Squishy's red core, Z2 has a blue core.

Other

A Zygarde appeared in The Legend of X, Y, and Z! during a flashback, where it was seen in its 10% Forme. In the flashback, it destroyed the kingdom ruled by Veofum with Land's Wrath.

Minor appearances

Zygarde's Complete Forme's first appearance in the anime was in Dream a Little Dream from Me!, where it appeared in a dream.

Pokémon Adventures

Main article: Zygarde (Adventures)

Zygarde debuted in Hawlucha Attacks. It first appeared in Anistar City, where it was caught by Essentia. It was later used by her against Team Flare's enemies at Pokémon Village. Eventually, she started to rebel, prompting Lysandre to take direct control of Zygarde. When Xerneas and Yveltal reverted to their dormant forms, Zygarde lost the need to keep itself active and disintegrated.

Zygarde also played a notable role in the Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon arc. Having been sent to Alola to find it, Dexio and Sina hired Sun to gather the Zygarde Cells and Cores scattered around Alola. During the climax of the chapter, Zygarde used the Reassembly Unit on Route 16 to transform into its Complete Forme, before joining the battle against Necrozma at Mount Lanakila.

Trivia

Origin

Zygarde's 10%, 50%, and Complete Formes may be inspired in part by the three children of Loki and Angrboða in Norse mythology: Fenrir, Jörmungandr, and Hel.

Zygarde 10% Forme may be based on the wolf Fenrir. The green leash-like object around its neck could be based on Gleipnir, the rope that binds Fenrir. Its left front paw has a different color from the others, being green instead of black, which is possibly a reference to Fenrir biting off the god Týr's right hand in reprisal for being bound by him. This Forme could also draw inspiration from Garmr, the watchdog that guards Helheim's gate. In appearance, it resembles a Doberman Pinscher.

Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance is based on a serpent in the shape of the letter Z. It may also draw inspiration from Jörmungandr, a sea serpent that encircles the earth; and Níðhöggr, a dragon that gnaws at the roots of Yggdrasil, the world tree. Jörmungandr is said to “dwell in the world sea, encircling the Earth (Midgard),” which may allude to Zygarde’s partial Ground typing (“Earth”) and the 50% Forme being the middle forme (“Midgard”). Its flat shape and wriggling movement may be inspired by the tsuchinoko, a Japanese cryptid, and its snakelike appearance may be inspired by nāga, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures.

Zygarde Complete Forme may be based on Hel, the ruler of Helheim, the realm of the dead in Nordic myth. The colors on its Complete Forme's chest match the colors of the real-world flag of France, the country which inspired the region of Kalos. These three colors match Kalos' pentagonal emblem that is split between three sections matching each section of Kalos' sub regions: blue on the left depcting Coastal Kalos, red on the right depecting Mountain Kalos, and white in the middle depicting central Kalos. The blue and red colors also match the colors of Xerneas and Yveltal. Design-wise, it resembles a humanoid giant mecha despite its organic basis; its light-up technological appearance, "transforming"/"combining" gimmick, and the face-like pattern on its chest are all tropes commonly used for fictional mecha.

Zygarde Cell and Zygarde Core may be based on cells as well as flatworms (specifically planaria) and single-celled organisms such as slime molds and members of Euglena. Some planarians' ocelli also resemble eyes, which may have inspired the designs for the Cell and Core Zygarde. The hexagons within them may represent a cell nucleus.

Name origin

Zygarde begins with the letter Z, following the pattern established by Xerneas and Yveltal. It may also be derived from ζυγωτός zygōtos (Greek for joined) or zygote, garde (French for guard), and garðr (Old Norse for enclosure; realm).
