'''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]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has three main [[#Form data|forms]]: '''10% Forme''', '''50% Forme''', and '''Complete Forme'''. Zygarde, exclusively in its Complete Forme, can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Zygarde''' using the [[Zygardite]]. All forms of Zygarde are composed of '''[[Zygarde Core]]s''' and '''[[Zygarde Cell]]s'''.<br />
<br />
Zygarde can switch between its 10% and 50% Formes at the [[Reassembly Unit]] or with the [[Zygarde Cube]]. If its [[Ability]] is {{a|Power Construct}} and its [[HP]] drops below half, then Zygarde in either form will change into its Complete Forme. <small>(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data&rarr;Form data]] for these details.)</small><br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}, having no name originally. Zygarde 10% Forme and Zygarde Complete Forme, as well as the Zygarde Cells and Zygarde Cores, were revealed in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine and later introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Mega Zygarde was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
{{ga|Zygarde}} plays a [[Game mascot|central role]] in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, serving as one of the game's key figures. A [[Squishy|Zygarde Core]] plays an important role in the ''[[S19|XY&Z]]'' arc of {{aniseries|XY}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
Zygarde is a green and black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} composed of smaller units known as [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s, who collectively define its appearance and power by assembling in different percentages. In all of Zygarde's forms, the various Cores and Cells are represented as green and black hexagons that glow when it attacks. It has also been shown to be able to fly in all of its forms.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the guardian of the [[Pokémon world]]'s ecosystem, firmly believing that it has a duty to protect it,<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: ''"It is said this [[Legendary Pokémon]] is a guardian of the ecosystem."''</ref><ref name="50%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20171003202529mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ archived])</ref><ref name="50%ZA">[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde50 Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> and is responsible for monitoring it for abnormalities from caves such as [[Kalos]]'s [[Terminus Cave]] and [[Alola]]'s [[Resolution Cave]]. It is described as a being that seeks to correct excess, find moderation, and restore balance. Zygarde can {{a|Aura Break|reverse}} the effects of {{p|Xerneas}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{p|Yveltal}}'s {{a|Dark Aura}}, thus ensuring the equilibrium of the cycle of life and death are kept in check.<ref>''"[[Kalos]]ian Legends: {{p|Xerneas}}, the Life Pokémon, and {{p|Yveltal}}, the Destruction Pokémon, both hail from the beautiful Kalos [[region]]. While they stand in opposition, the Order Pokémon Zygarde is said to help keep the ecosystem in equilibrium."'' - ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]]'', page 282</ref> Normally, it avoids getting involved in conflicts unless the ecosystem is in grave danger.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon! | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> It is also known to ask for [[human]]s to assist it in protecting the ecosystem when necessary, but can still be wary of those it does not trust. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Z". In the animated series, a Zygarde Core and two Zygarde in their 50% Forme have had the green coloration on their bodies changed to red as a result of the influence of [[Team Flare]]'s [[Mega Evolution]] energy weapon; moreover, all of their formes were depicted as capable of [[Talking Pokémon|human speech]] via telepathy.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]]s {{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}}.<br />
<br />
===Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells===<br />
{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#FFF; margin: 0 5px; float:right"<br />
| class="roundy" width="50%" style="background:#{{unknown color light}}; padding:5px" | {{color2|000|Zygarde Core}}<br>[[File:718Zygarde-Core.png|100px]]<br />

|}<br />
Physically, a [[Zygarde Core]] and a [[Zygarde Cell]] are almost identical. Both are small, green, cell-like blobs that resemble a {{wp|planarian}}. Their bodies are gelatinous, semitranslucent, and can be segmented into three sections: a large, round head, an abdomen with a colored hexagon, and a stubby tail. They have two eyes, though one is larger and has a pupil, and can stand on their tail (a trait most associated with the Core). The difference between a Core and a Cell is subtle: Cores have a black pupil and a red hexagon embedded inside their abdomen, while these are both green on Cells.<br />
<br />
On their own, neither Cores nor Cells have the power to battle, needing to assemble in order to take action. The Cells exist in far greater numbers than the Cores, therefore making up the majority of any given form of Zygarde. However, they lack wills of their own and can only act in accordance to the orders of a Core. The Cores act as Zygarde's brains,<ref name=CoresCells>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ Zygarde's Cores and Cells | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160814031551/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ archived])</ref> and there can be up to five of them. It can also use its Cells for [[move|attacks]], such as raining them down like {{m|Thousand Arrows|arrows}} or scattering them throughout the ground in {{m|Thousand Waves|waves}} before they're recalled into its body. When Zygarde exhausts all of its power, it splits back into individual Cores and Cells and scatters all over the world, reaching even far-off lands. While in this state, they absorb the native power of said lands and may request assistance from [[human]]s in order to reassemble.<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"When Zygarde used up its strength protecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from the light of [[ultimate weapon]]... its parts scattered to far-off places, absorbing the power of those lands and seeking [[human]]s who would give it aid."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> As seen in various media, Zygarde Cells demonstrate some form of will of their own and are capable of moving independently, without a Zygarde Core commanding them.<br />
<br />
===Forms===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme, which are composed of Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells. Zygarde Complete Forme can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde.<br />

====10% Forme====<br />
[[File:Zygarde 10 Percent SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Concept art of Zygarde's 10% Forme]]<br />
Zygarde 10% Forme is a relatively small {{wp|Canis|canine}} Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, though its neck, muzzle, mouth, eyebrows, and left front paw are green. Additionally, it has two green hexagons on its chest and a single one on its rear. From its neck, a green ribbon-like extension comes out, next to an elongated red hexagon, giving the impression of a leash and dog tag, respectively. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils, and there is a thin white line on its forehead. Its mouth is fitted with razor-sharp fangs. On each of its legs are black 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.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme is assumed in cases of emergency, created when it calls and gathers a tenth of its Cells across the land when it needs to fight. Because only a single Core serves as its brain, it cannot maintain this form indefinitely, and it will eventually fall apart. Nonethless, it is skilled at close range combat, overwhelming and quickly defeating its opponents by leaping at their chests and sinking its fangs into them. It is also capable of running at speeds greater than 60 mph (100 km/h).<ref name="10%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143708/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde10 Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Concept art of Zygarde 10% Forme shows that it can wrap its "leash" around the arm of someone it trusts.<br />
{{left clear}}<br />
<br />
====50% Forme====<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme is a large {{wp|Snake|serpentine}} Pokémon. 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 several small, green hexagons on its body that occasionally glow white.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 50% Forme is the result of half of its Cells and up to 3 Cores reuniting, and is considered its main form. Its power is capable of overwhelming anyone who stands in its way, but it is only at half of its full potential, and an equal amount of power waits to be assembled out in the world. There are rumors that an even greater power lies hidden within it, as it is capable of {{a|Power Construct|changing}} to a more powerful form when battling those who threaten the ecosystem.<ref name="10%SunMoon"/><ref name="50%ZA"/><ref name="50%SunMoon"/> The 50% Forme is known to be both ruthless and merciless to its foes. Its frill can be shown vibrating as it attacks. As seen in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Zygarde 50% Forme can summon and control massive roots for attacks and covering areas.<br />
<br />
====Complete Forme====<br />
Zygarde Complete Form is a large, humanoid Pokémon. 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 mouth that when opened, reveals five hexagons colored red, orange, white, cyan, and blue, respectively. It has a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's.<br />
<br />
The Complete Forme is Zygarde's perfected state, created when 100% of its Cells and Cores are gathered. In this form, Zygarde can fight at full power and complete its duty of protecting the ecosystem by suppressing those who willingly endanger it. Zygarde Complete Forme contains 5 Cores, one for each of its wings and its tail. Despite all of them being in a single body, each Core can make decisions and act independently of the others. The orifice on its chest can radiate enough high-powered energy to destroy everything around it. Zygarde Complete Forme can freely change the shapes of the four wings and tail for a variety of roles.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160715204745/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde-complete Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Notably, the tip of its wings can form snake-like heads that can be used to attack with energy beams, propel itself, and restore an unbalanced ecosystem back to normal, as seen in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. It has also been shown to form a green, protective barrier to shield itself and its allies. The Complete Forme is only used to neutralize huge threats to the ecosystem, such as [[Lysandre]]'s [[Giant Rock]], the [[Laquium|Laquium Core]], the [[ultimate weapon]], [[Ultra Burst|Ultra]] {{Adv|Necrozma}}, and {{DL|Ange|Hyperrogue Ange Floette}}. It is powerful enough to overwhelm even {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />

<br />
====Mega Zygarde====<br />
Overall, Mega Zygarde retains most of Zygarde Complete Forme's humanoid structure, but the Cells composing its body have been strategically relocated. Notably, it has lost most, if not all, of the hexagons composing Zygarde Complete Forme's lower body, arms, and wings, exposing its light green body. As a result of this, Mega Zygarde has completely lost its wings, having seemingly replaced them with six smaller arm-like structures. On its legs, only the three hexagons on each knee remain, though they changed from symmetrical white and green to asymmetrical black and white. The lower part of Zygarde Complete Forme's chest, starting from the multicolored mouth, has also opened, giving the impression it has ripped into strands of black hexagons similar to tree roots. The green, eye-like patterns on its chest now have each a differently colored hexagon on them (one red, one blue). Underneath the chest plate, a series of five white hexagons cover the true body. White, chain-like hexagonal patterns run down Mega Zygarde's uncovered torso, arms, and legs, as well as on its back and under its feet. Its arms don't end in hands, but split into three hexagonal digits. Mega Zygarde's headpiece and tail remain mostly unchanged from its base form, only having lost the green hexagons on its face and having more of those on its tail. Its crown is lit up by a green flame, and its eyes are green as well.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is said to be born as a result of people's emotions during an unprecedented crisis, allowing it to calm the situation with its unmatched power. Its defining feature is the giant cannon held above Mega Zygarde's head by its six smaller arms. The cannon has a cylindrical shape, somewhat resembling a tree trunk, decorated with several shapes and lines similar to Zygarde 10% Forme's leash. The cannon is mostly black, with dark blue and dark red patches circling its length. At the cannon's muzzle, there is a pink symbol resembling a cross between an "X" and a "Y" surrounded by red, blue, and pink lines. Its interior features a circle, three hexagons, and a central circle, while its back has a dark green hexagon at the center. When Mega Zygarde attacks with its cannon, the muzzle pattern shines in the shape of an "X", "Y", and "Z" before opening up, unleashing a {{m|Nihil Light|beam of light that defies nature itself}}, which has been likened to the [[Z-Move]]s found in the [[Alola]] [[region]].<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"And now that I think of it... The moves that Zygarde used when it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]—they reminded me of [[Z-Moves]], like those used in the [[Alola]] region."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> This attack was powerful enough to overpower Hyperrogue Ange Floette's powered-up {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which threatened to annihilate all of [[Lumiose City]], as well as to break through the [[Laquium]] Core's defenses and heavily damage it, as seen in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]''. Mega Zygarde has been referred to as "Lumiose's Guardian"<ref>[[Research Task (HOME)|Kalos Region Tasks]]</ref> due to it saving Lumiose City from Hyperrogue Ange Floette.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is the only known Pokémon capable of using the move {{m|Nihil Light}}, an upgraded version of Core Enforcer.<br />

===Form data===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s appear in the story in some games, but they are not catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and are not included in the [[Pokédex]]; they make up Zygarde's forms and are not forms themselves.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde's only form is its 50% Forme, which was unnamed at the time. The 10% Forme and Complete Forme were introduced to the games in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. It can switch between its 10% Forme and 50% Forme using the [[Reassembly Unit]] or the [[Zygarde Cube]], and can enter its Complete Forme in {{pkmn|battle}} if it has {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme and 50% Forme can have {{a|Aura Break}} or Power Construct as their [[Ability]]. Internally, Zygarde's Ability difference is itself a separate form. This makes it impossible to change Zygarde's Ability with [[Ability Capsule]]s or [[Ability Patch]]es; the Reassembly Unit or the Zygarde Cube must be used instead.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Aura Break}}<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde can only have {{a|Aura Break}} as an [[Ability]] and has no other forms.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VII]], a Zygarde with Aura Break can be transformed by the [[Reassembly Unit]]. This machine can create a 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break or change a 10% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break to a 50% Forme Zygarde. It can also change either to a 50% Forme Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}<br />
The [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change form" function ("Change Forme" in Generation VII) 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.<br />
<br />
Any Zygarde with Power Construct will change to Complete Forme in battle if its [[HP]] drops below half. When the battle ends, it returns to its original form with the same HP it ended the battle with (within its original form's maximum HP).<br />
<br />
Zygarde has a unique form change animation when changing to its Complete Forme, which shows Zygarde Cells (represented by green hexagons) gathering to change its form.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], due to the lack of Abilities, the distinction between Zygarde with Aura Break and Zygarde with Power Construct does not exist. Instead, any 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde will change into Complete Forme when its HP is reduced to half or less, increasing its maximum HP and gaining current HP equal to the amount of maximum HP gained. If Zygarde's HP is reduced below the threshold while it is using a [[move]], it will transform when the move finishes. Zygarde is invulnerable while changing into Complete Forme. It will change back to its previous form if it is recalled while out of battle, retaining the HP it had at that time; if this is above the maximum HP of its original form, its HP will become equal to its maximum HP.<br />

Zygarde's [[base stats]] differ between its three forms. Additionally, it can only [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] when it is in its Complete Forme. If it knows the move {{m|Core Enforcer}} when it Mega Evolves, the move will be replaced with {{m|Nihil Light}} until the Mega Evolution ends.<br />

===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Zygarde (Adventures)}}<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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 arc, 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]] alongside {{adv|Solgaleo}} and {{DL|Nebby|Pokémon Adventures|Lunala}}.<br />

* Zygarde is the only Pokémon: <br />
** That has two standard {{Abilities}}, but does not have a [[Hidden Ability]].<br />
** Able to change forms that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]].<br />
** Whose [[base stat]] total increases by 70 points when Mega Evolving, rather than by at least 100 points.<br />
* Zygarde Complete Forme and Mega Zygarde are [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|the only Pokémon]] with [[base stat total]]s of 708 and 778, respectively.<br />

<br />
===Origin===<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance may be 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 {{t|Ground}} type ("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 {{wp|yokai}}, often described as being snake-like. The "crown" behind it makes it resemble depictions of {{wp|Shesha}}.<br />
<br />
According to model sheet of Zygarde Complete Forme for {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it may also form a stylized letter Z when it lifts its cape over its head to attack. This forme of Zygarde 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 depicting [[List of Pokémon by Coastal Kalos Pokédex number|Coastal Kalos]], red on the right depicting [[List of Pokémon by Mountain Kalos Pokédex number|Mountain Kalos]], and white in the middle depicting [[List of Pokémon by Central Kalos Pokédex number|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.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde's cannon might be based on either a railgun or a laser cannon. As Mega Zygarde is styled after its Complete Forme, it may also resemble a stylized Z and a mech, with its cannon posed where the "head" of the Z is placed. Similarly, many of its hexagonal patterns are also blue and red, representative of Xerneas and Yveltal, justified the X, Y and Z markings on the front of its cannon.<br />
<br />
[[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s may be based on cells or other single-celled organisms, such as {{wp|slime mold}}s and members of ''{{wp|Euglena}}'', as well as {{wp|flatworm}}s (specifically {{wp|planarian}}). The hexagons within them may represent a {{wp|cell nucleus}}. The concept of the different forms of Zygarde being composed of smaller individuals useless by themselves may be based off {{wp|Colony (biology|colonial organisms}}. Zygarde's themes of the ecological balance of life may be thematically inspired by {{wp|zygote}}s, a type of cell that forms first development stage of an animal's life span. Zygarde's [[Form|forme change]] from its snake-like appearance in 50% Forme into its human-like Complete Forme may be inspired by {{wp|nāga}}, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures that may feature human-like qualities.<br />

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 ''{{wp|zygote}}'', ''garde'' (French for "guard"), and ''garðr'' (Old Norse for enclosure; realm).<br />

'''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]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has three main [[#Form data|forms]]: '''10% Forme''', '''50% Forme''', and '''Complete Forme'''. Zygarde, exclusively in its Complete Forme, can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Zygarde''' using the [[Zygardite]]. All forms of Zygarde are composed of '''[[Zygarde Core]]s''' and '''[[Zygarde Cell]]s'''.<br />
<br />
Zygarde can switch between its 10% and 50% Formes at the [[Reassembly Unit]] or with the [[Zygarde Cube]]. If its [[Ability]] is {{a|Power Construct}} and its [[HP]] drops below half, then Zygarde in either form will change into its Complete Forme. <small>(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data&rarr;Form data]] for these details.)</small><br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}, having no name originally. Zygarde 10% Forme and Zygarde Complete Forme, as well as the Zygarde Cells and Zygarde Cores, were revealed in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine and later introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Mega Zygarde was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
{{ga|Zygarde}} plays a [[Game mascot|central role]] in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, serving as one of the game's key figures. A [[Squishy|Zygarde Core]] plays an important role in the ''[[S19|XY&Z]]'' arc of {{aniseries|XY}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
Zygarde is a green and black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} composed of smaller units known as [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s, who collectively define its appearance and power by assembling in different percentages. In all of Zygarde's forms, the various Cores and Cells are represented as green and black hexagons that glow when it attacks. It has also been shown to be able to fly in all of its forms.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the guardian of the [[Pokémon world]]'s ecosystem, firmly believing that it has a duty to protect it,<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: ''"It is said this [[Legendary Pokémon]] is a guardian of the ecosystem."''</ref><ref name="50%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20171003202529mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ archived])</ref><ref name="50%ZA">[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde50 Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> and is responsible for monitoring it for abnormalities from caves such as [[Kalos]]'s [[Terminus Cave]] and [[Alola]]'s [[Resolution Cave]]. It is described as a being that seeks to correct excess, find moderation, and restore balance. Zygarde can {{a|Aura Break|reverse}} the effects of {{p|Xerneas}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{p|Yveltal}}'s {{a|Dark Aura}}, thus ensuring the equilibrium of the cycle of life and death are kept in check.<ref>''"[[Kalos]]ian Legends: {{p|Xerneas}}, the Life Pokémon, and {{p|Yveltal}}, the Destruction Pokémon, both hail from the beautiful Kalos [[region]]. While they stand in opposition, the Order Pokémon Zygarde is said to help keep the ecosystem in equilibrium."'' - ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]]'', page 282</ref> Normally, it avoids getting involved in conflicts unless the ecosystem is in grave danger.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon! | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> It is also known to ask for [[human]]s to assist it in protecting the ecosystem when necessary, but can still be wary of those it does not trust. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Z". In the animated series, a Zygarde Core and two Zygarde in their 50% Forme have had the green coloration on their bodies changed to red as a result of the influence of [[Team Flare]]'s [[Mega Evolution]] energy weapon; moreover, all of their formes were depicted as capable of [[Talking Pokémon|human speech]] via telepathy.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]]s {{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}}.<br />
<br />
===Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells===<br />
Physically, a [[Zygarde Core]] and a [[Zygarde Cell]] are almost identical. Both are small, green, cell-like blobs that resemble a {{wp|planarian}}. Their bodies are gelatinous, semitranslucent, and can be segmented into three sections: a large, round head, an abdomen with a colored hexagon, and a stubby tail. They have two eyes, though one is larger and has a pupil, and can stand on their tail (a trait most associated with the Core). The difference between a Core and a Cell is subtle: Cores have a black pupil and a red hexagon embedded inside their abdomen, while these are both green on Cells.<br />
<br />
On their own, neither Cores nor Cells have the power to battle, needing to assemble in order to take action. The Cells exist in far greater numbers than the Cores, therefore making up the majority of any given form of Zygarde. However, they lack wills of their own and can only act in accordance to the orders of a Core. The Cores act as Zygarde's brains,<ref name=CoresCells>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ Zygarde's Cores and Cells | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160814031551/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ archived])</ref> and there can be up to five of them. It can also use its Cells for [[move|attacks]], such as raining them down like {{m|Thousand Arrows|arrows}} or scattering them throughout the ground in {{m|Thousand Waves|waves}} before they're recalled into its body. When Zygarde exhausts all of its power, it splits back into individual Cores and Cells and scatters all over the world, reaching even far-off lands. While in this state, they absorb the native power of said lands and may request assistance from [[human]]s in order to reassemble.<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"When Zygarde used up its strength protecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from the light of [[ultimate weapon]]... its parts scattered to far-off places, absorbing the power of those lands and seeking [[human]]s who would give it aid."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> As seen in various media, Zygarde Cells demonstrate some form of will of their own and are capable of moving independently, without a Zygarde Core commanding them.<br />

<br />
===Forms===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme, which are composed of Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells. Zygarde Complete Forme can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde.<br />

====10% Forme====<br />
[[File:Zygarde 10 Percent SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Concept art of Zygarde's 10% Forme]]<br />
Zygarde 10% Forme is a relatively small {{wp|Canis|canine}} Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, though its neck, muzzle, mouth, eyebrows, and left front paw are green. Additionally, it has two green hexagons on its chest and a single one on its rear. From its neck, a green ribbon-like extension comes out, next to an elongated red hexagon, giving the impression of a leash and dog tag, respectively. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils, and there is a thin white line on its forehead. Its mouth is fitted with razor-sharp fangs. On each of its legs are black 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.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme is assumed in cases of emergency, created when it calls and gathers a tenth of its Cells across the land when it needs to fight. Because only a single Core serves as its brain, it cannot maintain this form indefinitely, and it will eventually fall apart. Nonethless, it is skilled at close range combat, overwhelming and quickly defeating its opponents by leaping at their chests and sinking its fangs into them. It is also capable of running at speeds greater than 60 mph (100 km/h).<ref name="10%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143708/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde10 Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Concept art of Zygarde 10% Forme shows that it can wrap its "leash" around the arm of someone it trusts.<br />
{{left clear}}<br />
<br />
====50% Forme====<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme is a large {{wp|Snake|serpentine}} Pokémon. 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 several small, green hexagons on its body that occasionally glow white.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 50% Forme is the result of half of its Cells and up to 3 Cores reuniting, and is considered its main form. Its power is capable of overwhelming anyone who stands in its way, but it is only at half of its full potential, and an equal amount of power waits to be assembled out in the world. There are rumors that an even greater power lies hidden within it, as it is capable of {{a|Power Construct|changing}} to a more powerful form when battling those who threaten the ecosystem.<ref name="10%SunMoon"/><ref name="50%ZA"/><ref name="50%SunMoon"/> The 50% Forme is known to be both ruthless and merciless to its foes. Its frill can be shown vibrating as it attacks. As seen in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Zygarde 50% Forme can summon and control massive roots for attacks and covering areas.<br />
<br />
====Complete Forme====<br />
Zygarde Complete Form is a large, humanoid Pokémon. 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 mouth that when opened, reveals five hexagons colored red, orange, white, cyan, and blue, respectively. It has a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's.<br />
<br />
The Complete Forme is Zygarde's perfected state, created when 100% of its Cells and Cores are gathered. In this form, Zygarde can fight at full power and complete its duty of protecting the ecosystem by suppressing those who willingly endanger it. Zygarde Complete Forme contains 5 Cores, one for each of its wings and its tail. Despite all of them being in a single body, each Core can make decisions and act independently of the others. The orifice on its chest can radiate enough high-powered energy to destroy everything around it. Zygarde Complete Forme can freely change the shapes of the four wings and tail for a variety of roles.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160715204745/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde-complete Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Notably, the tip of its wings can form snake-like heads that can be used to attack with energy beams, propel itself, and restore an unbalanced ecosystem back to normal, as seen in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. It has also been shown to form a green, protective barrier to shield itself and its allies. The Complete Forme is only used to neutralize huge threats to the ecosystem, such as [[Lysandre]]'s [[Giant Rock]], the [[Laquium|Laquium Core]], the [[ultimate weapon]], [[Ultra Burst|Ultra]] {{Adv|Necrozma}}, and {{DL|Ange|Hyperrogue Ange Floette}}. It is powerful enough to overwhelm even {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />

<br />
====Mega Zygarde====<br />
Overall, Mega Zygarde retains most of Zygarde Complete Forme's humanoid structure, but the Cells composing its body have been strategically relocated. Notably, it has lost most, if not all, of the hexagons composing Zygarde Complete Forme's lower body, arms, and wings, exposing its light green body. As a result of this, Mega Zygarde has completely lost its wings, having seemingly replaced them with six smaller arm-like structures. On its legs, only the three hexagons on each knee remain, though they changed from symmetrical white and green to asymmetrical black and white. The lower part of Zygarde Complete Forme's chest, starting from the multicolored mouth, has also opened, giving the impression it has ripped into strands of black hexagons similar to tree roots. The green, eye-like patterns on its chest now have each a differently colored hexagon on them (one red, one blue). Underneath the chest plate, a series of five white hexagons cover the true body. White, chain-like hexagonal patterns run down Mega Zygarde's uncovered torso, arms, and legs, as well as on its back and under its feet. Its arms don't end in hands, but split into three hexagonal digits. Mega Zygarde's headpiece and tail remain mostly unchanged from its base form, only having lost the green hexagons on its face and having more of those on its tail. Its crown is lit up by a green flame, and its eyes are green as well.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is said to be born as a result of people's emotions during an unprecedented crisis, allowing it to calm the situation with its unmatched power. Its defining feature is the giant cannon held above Mega Zygarde's head by its six smaller arms. The cannon has a cylindrical shape, somewhat resembling a tree trunk, decorated with several shapes and lines similar to Zygarde 10% Forme's leash. The cannon is mostly black, with dark blue and dark red patches circling its length. At the cannon's muzzle, there is a pink symbol resembling a cross between an "X" and a "Y" surrounded by red, blue, and pink lines. Its interior features a circle, three hexagons, and a central circle, while its back has a dark green hexagon at the center. When Mega Zygarde attacks with its cannon, the muzzle pattern shines in the shape of an "X", "Y", and "Z" before opening up, unleashing a {{m|Nihil Light|beam of light that defies nature itself}}, which has been likened to the [[Z-Move]]s found in the [[Alola]] [[region]].<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"And now that I think of it... The moves that Zygarde used when it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]—they reminded me of [[Z-Moves]], like those used in the [[Alola]] region."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> This attack was powerful enough to overpower Hyperrogue Ange Floette's powered-up {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which threatened to annihilate all of [[Lumiose City]], as well as to break through the [[Laquium]] Core's defenses and heavily damage it, as seen in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]''. Mega Zygarde has been referred to as "Lumiose's Guardian"<ref>[[Research Task (HOME)|Kalos Region Tasks]]</ref> due to it saving Lumiose City from Hyperrogue Ange Floette.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is the only known Pokémon capable of using the move {{m|Nihil Light}}, an upgraded version of Core Enforcer.<br />

===Form data===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s appear in the story in some games, but they are not catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and are not included in the [[Pokédex]]; they make up Zygarde's forms and are not forms themselves.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde's only form is its 50% Forme, which was unnamed at the time. The 10% Forme and Complete Forme were introduced to the games in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. It can switch between its 10% Forme and 50% Forme using the [[Reassembly Unit]] or the [[Zygarde Cube]], and can enter its Complete Forme in {{pkmn|battle}} if it has {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme and 50% Forme can have {{a|Aura Break}} or Power Construct as their [[Ability]]. Internally, Zygarde's Ability difference is itself a separate form. This makes it impossible to change Zygarde's Ability with [[Ability Capsule]]s or [[Ability Patch]]es; the Reassembly Unit or the Zygarde Cube must be used instead.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Aura Break}}<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde can only have {{a|Aura Break}} as an [[Ability]] and has no other forms.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VII]], a Zygarde with Aura Break can be transformed by the [[Reassembly Unit]]. This machine can create a 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break or change a 10% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break to a 50% Forme Zygarde. It can also change either to a 50% Forme Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}<br />
The [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change form" function ("Change Forme" in Generation VII) 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.<br />
<br />
Any Zygarde with Power Construct will change to Complete Forme in battle if its [[HP]] drops below half. When the battle ends, it returns to its original form with the same HP it ended the battle with (within its original form's maximum HP).<br />
<br />
Zygarde has a unique form change animation when changing to its Complete Forme, which shows Zygarde Cells (represented by green hexagons) gathering to change its form.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], due to the lack of Abilities, the distinction between Zygarde with Aura Break and Zygarde with Power Construct does not exist. Instead, any 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde will change into Complete Forme when its HP is reduced to half or less, increasing its maximum HP and gaining current HP equal to the amount of maximum HP gained. If Zygarde's HP is reduced below the threshold while it is using a [[move]], it will transform when the move finishes. Zygarde is invulnerable while changing into Complete Forme. It will change back to its previous form if it is recalled while out of battle, retaining the HP it had at that time; if this is above the maximum HP of its original form, its HP will become equal to its maximum HP.<br />

<br />
Zygarde's [[base stats]] differ between its three forms. Additionally, it can only [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] when it is in its Complete Forme. If it knows the move {{m|Core Enforcer}} when it Mega Evolves, the move will be replaced with {{m|Nihil Light}} until the Mega Evolution ends.<br />

[[File:Z2 50 Percent Forme.png|thumb|250px|Zygarde 50% Forme in {{aniseries|XY}}]]<br />
===Main series===<br />
====Major appearances====<br />
Zygarde is a major target of [[Team Flare]] in {{aniseries|XY}}. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core|Cores]] debuted in ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]''.<br />
<br />
=====[[Squishy]]=====<br />
With the help of [[Mairin]]'s {{p|Chespin}}, [[Chespie]], a Zygarde 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}}. In ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', Squishy transformed into its 10% and 50% Formes to defend itself against [[Bryony]] and her subordinates, thus marking the debut of 10% Forme. In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', when [[Alva]] used his laser weapon onto the [[Nebel Plateau]], it transformed into its Complete Forme to protect it, thus marking the form's debut. Squishy is known by the code name '''Z1''' by Team Flare.<br />
<br />
=====[[Z2]]=====<br />
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]]. It was captured by Team Flare and corrupted by their [[Mega Evolution]] weapon to help them clean the planet of humans. Unlike Squishy's red core, Z2 has a blue core.<br />
[[File:White Zygarde 50 Percent Forme.png|thumb|250px|{{Shiny}} Zygarde 50% Forme in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]<br />
<br />
=====[[White Zygarde]]=====<br />
In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', [[Gibeon]] was revealed to own a {{Shiny}} Zygarde 10% Forme. It regained access to its 50% Forme in ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', when it reunited with the [[Zygarde Cell|Cells]] it had lost in [[Laqua]]. In the [[HZ088|next episode]], it disassembled and abandoned Gibeon. A year later, [[Amethio]] was given a [[Zygarde Cube]], gathered the remaining Zygarde Cells, assembled a Zygarde 50% Forme, and {{pkmn2|caught}} it prior to ''[[HZ125|Battle for the Six Heroes!]]''. In ''[[HZ134|One Step Closer]]'', it assumed its Complete Forme after reuniting with the Cells left in Laqua. It is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]. It was released in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]'' to heal Laqua back to its original state.<br />
<br />
=====Other=====<br />
A Zygarde appeared in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where it was seen in its 50% Forme. When [[Veofum]] ordered his men to burn {{p|Xerneas}} after his plan to use its power failed, Zygarde appeared and destroyed his kingdom with {{m|Land's Wrath}}.<br />
<br />
====Minor appearances====<br />
Zygarde's Complete Forme's first appearance in the animated series was in ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', where it appeared in a dream.<br />
<br />
A Zygarde appeared in its 50% Forme in the opening sequence of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.<br />

===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Zygarde (Adventures)}}<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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 arc, 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]] alongside {{adv|Solgaleo}} and {{DL|Nebby|Pokémon Adventures|Lunala}}.<br />

<br />
===Origin===<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance may be 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 {{t|Ground}} type ("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 {{wp|yokai}}, often described as being snake-like. The "crown" behind it makes it resemble depictions of {{wp|Shesha}}.<br />
<br />
According to model sheet of Zygarde Complete Forme for {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it may also form a stylized letter Z when it lifts its cape over its head to attack. This forme of Zygarde 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 depicting [[List of Pokémon by Coastal Kalos Pokédex number|Coastal Kalos]], red on the right depicting [[List of Pokémon by Mountain Kalos Pokédex number|Mountain Kalos]], and white in the middle depicting [[List of Pokémon by Central Kalos Pokédex number|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.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde's cannon might be based on either a railgun or a laser cannon. As Mega Zygarde is styled after its Complete Forme, it may also resemble a stylized Z and a mech, with its cannon posed where the "head" of the Z is placed. Similarly, many of its hexagonal patterns are also blue and red, representative of Xerneas and Yveltal, justified the X, Y and Z markings on the front of its cannon.<br />
<br />
[[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s may be based on cells or other single-celled organisms, such as {{wp|slime mold}}s and members of ''{{wp|Euglena}}'', as well as {{wp|flatworm}}s (specifically {{wp|planarian}}). The hexagons within them may represent a {{wp|cell nucleus}}. The concept of the different forms of Zygarde being composed of smaller individuals useless by themselves may be based off {{wp|Colony (biology|colonial organisms}}. Zygarde's themes of the ecological balance of life may be thematically inspired by {{wp|zygote}}s, a type of cell that forms first development stage of an animal's life span. Zygarde's [[Form|forme change]] from its snake-like appearance in 50% Forme into its human-like Complete Forme may be inspired by {{wp|nāga}}, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures that may feature human-like qualities.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
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 ''{{wp|zygote}}'', ''garde'' (French for "guard"), and ''garðr'' (Old Norse for enclosure; realm).<br />

'''Liko''' (Japanese: '''リコ''' ''Liko'') is one of the protagonists of {{aniseries|HZ}} alongside her friend [[Roy]],<ref>https://pokemon.gamespress.com/Pokemon-Reveals-Pokemon-Horizons-The-Series-as-Official-Title-of-Next-</ref> succeeding [[Ash Ketchum]] and his {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{aniseries|PTS}} as the protagonists of the [[Pokémon animated series]]. She is also the main character of various {{pkmn|manga}} based on the animated series.<br />
<br />
She is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Cabo Poco]] whose goal is to understand Pokémon better. She owned a mysterious pendant that was given to her by [[Diana|her grandmother]] and was [[HZ024|later]] revealed to be a hibernating {{an|Terapagos}}. Her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] was a {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} that she received at [[Indigo Academy]]. Liko also [[HZ003|eventually]] becomes a member of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].<br />
<br />
==In animation==<br />
===History===<br />
====Pre-series====<br />
[[File:Young Liko.png|250px|thumb|left|Young Liko]]<br />
Liko was born in the [[Paldea]] [[region]] and grew up in [[Cabo Poco]] with her parents, [[Alex]] and [[Lucca]]. Her grandmother, [[Diana]], was also an important part of her childhood, with Liko hearing stories of the adventures and journeys she went through around the world. After being accepted into [[Indigo Academy]], Liko was given a mysterious pendant by Diana, which she said would be important to her in the future.<br />
<br />
===={{aniseries|HZ}}====<br />
[[File:Liko pendant power.png|250px|thumb|Liko awakening her [[Pagogo|pendant]] for the first time]]<br />
Liko debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. She enrolled in Indigo Academy at the [[Kanto]] region, where she formed a friendship with her roommate [[Ann]] and received her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]], a {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}. During the next few days, Liko worked hard to strengthen her bond with Sprigatito by learning more about her and make the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}} listen to her instructions in {{pkmn|battle}}, but to little avail.<br />
<br />
One day, a young man named [[Amethio]] introduced himself to her, supposedly as her grandmother's representative, and asked her for the pendant. Quickly distrusting his intentions, Liko attempted to run away from him and [[Zirc|his]] [[Onia|teammates]], but eventually got cornered by the group, who called themselves [[Explorers]]. However, before any violent confrontation could begin, [[Friede]] swooped in on his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} and started battling [[Amethio's Ceruledge]]. A stray {{m|Psycho Cut}} nearly hit Liko as she tried to escape, but her pendant activated in time and protected her from the attack.<br />
<br />
In the [[HZ002|next episode]], Liko noticed the presence of {{an|Terapagos|a mysterious Pokémon}} during the activation of the pendant's power. After being rescued by Friede, Liko and Sprigatito were taken aboard his airship, the [[Brave Olivine]], where they were introduced to the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Not long after, the ship was attacked by the Explorers, who almost coerced Liko to go with them, had Sprigatito not encouraged her to stand tall. Liko had her partner unleash a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the forcefield around the Wing Deck, but she got blown overboard in the process, which allowed the Explorers to capture her before fleeing.<br />
[[File:Liko Rising Volt Tacklers.png|250px|thumb|left|Liko joining the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]]]<br />
In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Liko discovered that [[Lucca|her mother]] had hired the Rising Volt Tacklers to protect her. The group soon reached the city where the Explorers were last seen. After running an errand for [[Mollie]] at the city's [[Pokémon Center]], she followed the sound of [[Murdock's Rockruff]]'s barking and discovered that [[Murdock]] and Friede had found Onia. She and Friede chased Onia back to the Explorers' hideout, where Friede engaged Amethio in a battle, allowing her and Rockruff to locate Sprigatito. Feeling she could trust them, Liko decided to join the Rising Volt Tacklers in their travels to find out more about the mysteries surrounding her pendant and the Explorers, officially becoming a member of the group.<br />
<br />
In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', it was revealed that Liko had signed up for online classes and would be attending school virtually. After doing some chores, Liko found out that {{p|Fuecoco}} had fallen off the Brave Olivine and went out to look for him. During the search, they came upon an open tree stump with eaten {{Berries}} and were mistakenly accused of eating them by the [[wild Pokémon]]. As they were being chased, Liko's pendant started to glow, and soon they were found by [[Roy]], who helped them escape. The wild Pokémon, however, did not give up on their hunt and successfully captured them. After being rescued by Friede, Liko and Roy gathered Berries for the wild Pokémon as an apology gift, and she soon waved goodbye to her new friend.<br />
[[File:Rayquaza staring at Liko.png|thumb|250px|Liko meeting the [[Black Rayquaza]]]]<br />
They did not depart for long, however, as the Rising Volt Tacklers were startled awake [[HZ005|during the middle of the night]] when Roy snuck on the ship and got shocked by [[Captain Pikachu]]. He wanted to see his friend Fuecoco once more, but, despite searching all over the Brave Olivine, couldn't find it. In the next day, the Explorers launched an assault on the Rising Volt Tacklers. Despite her own nervousness, Liko managed to defeat Onia all by herself. As she arrived on the beach, she was assaulted by Amethio's {{p|Corviknight}}, nearly getting hit before [[HZ006|her pendant activated again]], projecting another barrier to protect her. Liko and Roy called Sprigatito and Fuecoco to fight Amethio's Ceruledge, but it proved to be too powerful for them. Then, Liko's pendant and Roy's [[Ancient Poké Ball]] reacted in unison, and from the Poké Ball emerged a [[Black Rayquaza]]. After forcing the Explorers to retreat, Rayquaza briefly stared at Liko before flying away. She decided to keep looking into her pendant's mystery alongside Roy and the Rising Volt Tacklers as they headed off towards [[Paldea]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Liko was challenged by Roy to a battle, but it was called off when their Pokémon tired themselves into a draw. Shortly after, Friede downloaded the Rising Volt Tacklers app on their [[Rotom Phone]]s and suggested they visit [[Dot]] to see if she had any info on the Black Rayquaza, but weren't able to talk to her. Frustrated, they asked Friede for some special training, which he accepted. In order for them to win, they had to land a hit on Captain Pikachu, but, despite figuring out the pattern of his {{m|Double Team}}, weren't able to. After a break, Liko and Roy battled against each other once more—this time, there was a clear winner, as Sprigatito managed to overcome the type disadvantage and defeat {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}. This battle was the first step for the new Rising Volt Tacklers to get closer to Dot, who let them know the Black Rayquaza was in Paldea. Realizing that Dot is just shy around others, like she is, Liko decided to learn more about her in hopes of becoming friends with her. In the [[HZ008|next episode]], Liko accepted Roy's pleading to watch over the Brave Olivine in his place, as she already was planning to watch a livestream by Nidothing, her favorite content creator. By the time she had done her chores, she decided to bring Dot the lunch that Murdock had prepared for her. Once at her door, Liko faintly heard Nidothing's background music and, assuming Dot to be a Nidothing fan like herself, tried to bond with Dot over this shared interest, but to no avail. During the livestream, Nidothing—who, unbeknownst to Liko, was actually Dot in a costume—read and responded a comment about the whole situation left by her, who was quick to follow the streamer's advice.<br />
[[File:Liko and Alex.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and [[Alex|her father]]]]<br />
In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers landed in Paldea. Before heading to her home in [[Cabo Poco]], Liko guided Roy and Friede as they toured around [[Mesagoza]]. After Friede failed to get a hold of her mother, Liko suggested visiting [[Alex|her father]], which quickly made her feel uneasy after realizing that her journey could soon be over. At home, she overheard her father talking to Friede about how he was worrying about her being by herself. After a sleepless night back at the Brave Olivine, and a run-in with a wild {{p|Lechonk}}, she told her father that she still wanted to be a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers and travel the world with them. Her father accepted her wishes and told them about the sightings of a mysterious Pokémon over [[Artazon]]. In the [[HZ010|next episode]], Liko and Roy went to the city, where they met the {{pkmn|Champion}}-ranked {{pkmn|Trainer}} {{an|Nemona}} and the local {{type|Grass}} [[Gym Leader]] [[Brassius]]. During their time together, they learned that Brassius saw the Black Rayquaza flying over [[Arboliva's Forest]] and decided to make it their next destination.<br />
[[File:Liko Sprigatito Rotom hypnotized.png|thumb|200px|Liko and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} having their memories erased by [[Spinel]]'s {{p|Beheeyem}}]]<br />
As [[HZ011|they reached the forest]], Liko and Roy discovered that part of it had burned down after a lightning strike started a wildfire. After looking around, Liko found an injured {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Wooper}}, but the local wild Pokémon were distrustful of her and took Wooper to a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}}, which started attacking Liko and Roy until Mollie had finished treating the Poison Fish Pokémon's injuries. In the [[HZ012|following episode]], Liko led a successful group effort to replant the part of the forest that had burned down. Suddenly, Liko's pendant started to glow and briefly transformed into the mysterious Pokémon again, following which Arboliva returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and allowed Liko to take it under her care. At the end of the day, Liko decided she wanted to see her grandmother in the hopes of learning more about the pendant.<br />
<br />
In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', Liko and the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to have a [[picnic]] while the ship was undergoing an automatic inspection. During that leisure period, feeling that Dot and [[Ludlow]] were missing out, Liko enlisted Murdock's help in making an indoor picnic for them. Later, Liko was shocked to see that Dot sent her a picture of Nidothing and Ludlow having a good time. In her naivety, Liko did not correlate Dot and Nidothing as the same person, instead concluding that it was all part of Dot's plan to make her happy. In the ''[[HZ014|next episode]]'', Liko went to [[Levincia]] alone after seeing an advertisement for the [[Spicy Herba Mystica]] spice that Murdock wanted. Unbeknownst to her, this was a trap set up by [[Spinel]] to lure her away. Spinel used his {{p|Beheeyem}} to erase Liko's memories, specifically the ones involving the Rising Volt Tacklers, and effortlessly stole her pendant. <br />
[[File:Liko Roy Dot Paldean first partners.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko, [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] battling the [[Explorers]]]]<br />
In ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', Dot staged a collaboration with {{an|Iono}} in order to find out Liko's whereabouts. By the time her memory fully recovered, Liko had reunited with Roy, Friede, and Dot, the latter she met in person for the first time. Realizing that Spinel was still in Paldea, the group was determined to retrieve the stolen pendant back. In the ''[[HZ016|next episode]]'', Liko, Roy, and Dot went searching for Spinel in order to get the pendant back. Once Dot located Spinel's whereabouts, Liko and Roy teamed up with her to battle the Explorers Admin. They managed to take down Spinel's {{p|Magneton}} and Beheeyem, only to be quickly overwhelmed by his {{p|Umbreon}}. Despite this, Liko's determination to keep battling caused the pendant to glow brightly, forcing Spinel out of his hiding spot and allowing Sprigatito the chance to retrieve it. Liko and the others escaped with Arboliva's help and reunited with the other Rising Volt Tacklers. Later, Dot finally confessed to Liko about her secret identity as Nidothing, much to Liko's shock.<br />
[[File:Liko holding Hatenna.png|thumb|250px|Liko catches {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} as her second Pokémon]]<br />
In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', Liko arrived at [[Motostoke Stadium]] with Roy in order to gather information about the Black Rayquaza from [[Motostoke]] Gym Leader [[Kabu]]. Kabu tested their resolve through a training contest to master their Pokémon's basic moves, followed by a [[Multi Battle]] against himself and his apprentice {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}. Although Liko did her best throughout her training, she yielded to Roy during their contest when she saw how he had improved, and felt it best to forfeit against Wakaba to help her qualify as a {{tc|Gym Trainer}}. When this only upset Sprigatito and Wakaba, however, Kabu helped Liko understand her lack of consideration for their feelings, and she apologized to them both. After the training, Liko and Roy learned from Kabu that Rayquaza was spotted heading towards the [[Galar Mine]]. In the [[HZ021|next episode]], while heading to the Galar Mine, Liko, Roy, and Friede had to seek shelter from the rain and they found a wild {{p|Hatenna}}. Liko felt that something wasn't right with her and brought Hatenna back to the Brave Olivine so Mollie could check her out. Mollie deduced she was just feeling down, so Liko volunteered to look after Hatenna, but she ran away after sensing Dot's strong emotions. Liko, Roy, and Dot sought Hatenna all over the airship, with Liko eventually finding her on the observation deck. She told Hatenna that she also liked to come there as well because it was quiet and peaceful, which led them to bond. After the weather cleared up, Liko attempted to return Hatenna to the wild, but Sprigatito convinced the Calm Pokémon not to go and she ran back into Liko's arms. Realizing that Hatenna wanted to go with her, Friede gave her a Poké Ball and Liko happily {{pkmn2|caught}} {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}}, adding her to her [[party|team]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Liko, Roy, and Friede arrived at the Galar Mine, but the former two got separated from Friede. While trying to find the Black Rayquaza, the two encountered the Explorers again in the process. During the battle, Liko and Roy met a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball, which got her to realize that it was one of Lucius's Pokémon. Unfortunately, they were forced to retreat when Moltres proved to be too strong and Captain Pikachu was injured as they left the mine. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Liko and Roy arrived at the Pokémon Center in Motostoke where they reunited with Friede and agreed to battle Moltres again. After finding Moltres again at the Galar Mine, Liko battled the [[Legendary Pokémon]] once more in order to calm it down. After Moltres calmed down, Liko's pendant started to glow and briefly transformed into the mysterious Pokémon again, following which the Moltres returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and allowed Liko to take it under her care.<br />
[[File:Liko Lucius Belt.png|thumb|left|200px|Liko wearing [[Lucius]]'s belt]]<br />
In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Liko with Roy and Friede arrived in [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find the [[ancient castle]] that her grandmother was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Liko and her friends were able to find her grandmother. Liko introduced her grandmother to her friends Roy and Friede, as well as Sprigatito and Hatenna as her Pokémon partners. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Liko and Roy tried to escape the Explorers, but they were forced to battle Onia and Zirc, which was interrupted by the arrival of [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]]. After the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived, Liko, her grandmother and her friends were able to escape.<br />
<br />
In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', Liko joined her friends and Ludlow in finding a {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}, who happened to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, after they got a lead from a ship crew that saw the Transport Pokémon. Fortunately, Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ludlow were able to find Lapras, but they failed to get her to come out, as she was covered by the {{m|Mist}} and two Pokémon appeared on the ship. When Friede devised a plan to get Lapras back, Liko and Roy stayed on the deck to wait for the Transport Pokémon. Thanks to Friede and Captain Pikachu, Liko and Roy saw it with battle scars and other various Pokémon on a {{p|Wailord}}, who also had scars as well. In the [[HZ032|next episode]], Liko joined Roy and Friede in going after Lapras and, after convincing her that they were friends, Lapras returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and Liko took it under her care. However, before setting off, Liko and her friends witnessed the Black Rayquaza arriving at their location.<br />
<br />
In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Liko witnessed Terapagos {{a|Tera Shift|transform}} in order to battle the Black Rayquaza after it defeated Amethio. After Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza left, Liko stayed by its side while it recovered. Liko and Roy then had a training battle with Diana, and won when Sprigatito managed to land a hit on her {{p|Arcanine}}. In the [[HZ034|next episode]], Liko and Roy overheard Diana's intentions to continue traveling alone. They decided to organize a surprise farewell party for her. Through the help of their teammates, Liko and Roy surprised Diana with the party, which she appreciated. Before leaving, Diana gave Liko her adventure log and then the Rising Volt Tacklers resumed their search for the remaining [[Six Heroes]]. However, Liko was informed by Friede that they were heading back to Paldea first in order to gain information on Terapagos.<br />
<br />
In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Liko and Roy arrived at Coral, Sidian, and [[Chalce]]'s location in an attempt to stop them from using a machine capable of recreating Terapagos's energy to summon the Black Rayquaza. While Dot worked on a shutdown program for the machine, Liko and Roy used their Pokémon to keep the Explorers distracted. Their efforts worked, but after Dot shut the machine down, Coral lost her temper and commanded her {{p|Glalie}} to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The attack collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, creating an explosion powerful enough to blast the Sky High Pokémon directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine. In the ''[[HZ045|next episode]]'', the ship was safely docked while the Explorers retreated, realizing their operation was a failure. Hoping to convey Terapagos's desire to reach [[Laqua]], Liko, Roy, Friede, and Dot challenged Rayquaza to a battle, which it readily accepted. Amethio later joined the fray and teamed up with Friede, with them Terastallizing Ceruledge and Charizard, respectively, but both were eventually defeated by a devastating {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Liko and Roy confronted Rayquaza next, but despite Sprigatito evolving into Floragato and Fuecoco learning {{m|Flame Charge}}, they were unable to do much against the Sky High Pokémon. After Rayquaza took off, the Rising Volt Tacklers regrouped. While the Brave Olivine underwent repairs, Liko, Roy and Dot decided to become stronger by learning how to use the Terastal phenomenon as well.<br />
[[File:Liko and Lucca.png|thumb|250px|Liko and [[Lucca|her mother]]]]<br />
In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Liko, Dot, and Roy were enrolled in [[Naranja Academy]] as part of the [[Tera Training]] course. They each received a [[Tera Orb]] and were tasked with battling the Paldea [[Gym Leader]]s as part of their Tera Training. To Liko's surprise, [[Katy]] was chosen as her opponent. Liko then reunites with Ann and decided to have a [[rematch]] against her. Through her quick thinking, Liko was able to win the battle and promised Ann that they'll battle each other again one day. Later, Liko and her friends set off for her battle against Katy in [[Cortondo]]. In the ''[[HZ047|next episode]]'', Liko, Roy, and Dot arrived in Cortondo, where they encountered Murdock working part-time at the Patisserie Soapberry. They also found Katy being yelled at by Coral, who was furious because she arrived too late to buy sweets. Katy only had time to take on one challenger that day, so she had Liko and Coral face off in a baking competition to see who she would battle. With the matcha cake they made, Liko and Floragato won the competition while Coral lost and was kicked out for her volatile behavior. Later, during her battle with Katy, Liko Terastallized Floragato into a {{type|Grass}}, but they were defeated when Katy's {{Tera}} {{t|Bug}} {{p|Teddiursa}}, Teddy, used a powered-up {{m|Fury Cutter}}. Despite the loss, Liko still passed her assessment for using Terastal at the appropriate moment. Afterwards, Liko and her friends prepared to head to Artazon for Roy's battle with Brassius.<br />
<br />
In ''[[HZ053|Hatenna and the Otherworldly]]'', Liko, Roy, and Dot encountered a group of the {{p|Mankey}} evolutionary line. While Liko and the others fended off the horde of angry Pokémon, Hatenna discovered that they were enraged after losing access to their food storage. By working with their Pokémon, Liko's group successfully built a rope bridge for their new friends to climb on. Overjoyed at being able to access their food again, the Mankey family accidentally caused a boulder to fall on their berry supply, angering them all over again. Tired of all the fighting, Hatenna evolved into {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} and used her newly learned {{m|Brutal Swing}} to defeat the three {{p|Annihilape}} that were attacking each other. Afterward, the Mankey family apologized for their actions and shared their food with Liko's group.<br />
[[File:Liko and her friends.png|thumb|left|250px|Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ann at Naranja Academy]]<br />
In ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]'', Liko was paired with Katy for an aptitude match against [[Rika]] of the Paldea [[Elite Four]]. During the battle, Liko became frustrated, comparing herself with the other Trainers and thinking she couldn't keep up, a feeling that was building up inside her even before the battle begun. Katy and Rika supported her their own ways, pointing out her mind was seemingly everywhere at once. The Elite Four member also left her wondering about what Pokémon battles are about, and Liko found out her answer as the battle went on, recognizing that being immersed in a battle allows for a Trainer to know what their Pokémon feels and vowing to take battles as seriously as her Floragato has ever taken. In the end, Liko and Katy still lost, with the student becoming emotional and shedding bitter tears for having engaged more intimately with the battle. Later, she was approached by [[Grusha]], who briefly made a comment about her before leaving with [[Geeta]]. While she did not know who he was, she would eventually find out once the pairings for the next module of the Tera Training [[HZ057|were revealed]], as he was assigned as the Gym Leader she would have to face.<br />
[[File:Liko and Amethio talking.png|250px|thumb|Liko and [[Amethio]] opening up to each other]]<br />
In ''[[HZ063|Ice Battle! Cold-Eyed Grusha]]'', Liko, Roy, and Dot arrived at [[Glaseado Gym]] for her Tera Training test against Grusha. After learning about his past as a professional snowboarder, Liko was determined to receive approval from the Gym Leader. The battle, however, did not go according to her plans, as {{p|Cetitan}}'s bulk and {{p|Altaria}}'s aerial attacks, combined with a massive type disadvantage, proved to be too much for her team, leading to Liko failing her test, with Grusha not acknowledging her in spite of her loss and refusing to give her a second chance. In the ''[[HZ064|next episode]]'', the trio decided to visit {{DL|Ten Sights of Paldea|Paldea's Highest Peak}}, wanting to cheer Liko up. Along the way, she was unknowingly deviated from her friends by [[Chalce]]'s {{p|Medicham}} and ran by chance into Amethio, who seized the opportunity to take Terapagos. This time, however, Liko and Floragato put up a fight and even forced Amethio into Terastallizing Ceruledge, which made her think back to her recent loss and hesitate. The battle was interrupted by Spinel, who tested the effects of the [[Laquium|Treasure of Eternity]] on his {{p|Umbreon}}, causing it to enter a rampaging state that allowed it to easily triumph over Ceruledge. Angered, Terapagos transformed into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}} and destroyed the crystal, purifying Umbreon in the process. Demanding answers as to what they just witnessed, Liko and Amethio chased after the fleeing Spinel, only to be lured into a nearby cave and be trapped inside. In the [[HZ065|following episode]], as the air grew colder, they gathered around a campfire and opened up to each other, learning about each other's goals and reflecting on the similarities of their journeys. Liko even pondered if the Rising Volt Tacklers and the Explorers could work together to reach the end goal they shared, but Amethio quickly discarded the idea, claiming the paths they take are too different. Eventually, they managed to create an opening in the ceiling and escape, with him warning her about Spinel before parting ways. Later, Liko reunited with her friends and Friede and told them about the Treasure of Eternity. Before heading down the mountain, the children visited Paldea's Highest Peak and snapped a group [[photo]].<br />
[[File:HZ067.png|250px|left|thumb|Liko battling Roy in the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]]]]<br />
In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', the trio returned to Naranja Academy, where the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]] was announced, allowing those who failed the Tera Training to Terastallize one last time before the course officially ended. As the tournament was underway, Dot informed Liko and Roy that the Explorers had infiltrated the academy's systems to steal data on Terapagos. They split up, and Liko ended up finding and confronting Sidian at the academy's rooftop; unbeknownst to them, Grusha watched their battle from afar. In order to protect Terapagos and the school, Liko Terastallized Floragato, granting her enough power to defeat her opponent. Sidian acknowledged Liko's strength before leaving, and Grusha finally revealed himself, telling her to meet him at the principal's office, where [[Clavell]] and Geeta were also at. While Liko thought she was in trouble for Terastallizing outside of the Tera Training, they actually commended her for her actions, with the Gym Leader even changing his previous assessment to a passing grade. With one more student having passed their usage test, the tournament's battle pairings changed accordingly, with Liko and Roy [[HZ067|being set to battle each other next]]. After a couple of switches, both {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} and Hattrem were down, leaving only their first partner Pokémon remaining. Encouraged by the collective chanting of his Trainer, [[Ryme]], and the crowd, Roy's Fuecoco evolved into {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}. Then, Liko and Roy both Terastallized their Pokémon, but Crocalor prevailed and defeated Floragato, making Roy the winner.<br />
<br />
Following the end of the Tera Training course, Liko, Roy, and Dot reunited with the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]''. After receiving Lucius's belt back from Friede, Liko was challenged by Lucius's Arboliva, who wanted to test her strength as a Trainer at the end of her Tera Training. After exchanging a couple of attacks, Liko Terastallized Floragato and had her use an enhanced {{m|Magical Leaf}}, which Arboliva withstood, but still seemed content with their growth before returning to its Poké Ball soon after. <br />
<br />
Before they left Naranja Academy, [[Raifort]] informed them about [[Briar]], a Terapagos researcher currently stationed in the land of [[Kitakami]], so the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head there next. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede arrived at the [[Crystal Pool]] in ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', where Briar was at, according to [[Carmine]]. After calming a wild Terastallized {{p|Milotic}} down, Liko's group and Briar discussed about Terapagos, its forms, and its connection to [[Area Zero]]. Once night fell, Briar suggested using the Crystal Pool's special properties and Terapagos's memories about Lucius to summon him and find some answers, but nothing happened. Afterward, they bid farewell to Briar and returned to the Brave Olivine, without any leads regarding Terapagos or the Six Heroes until Dot ran into [[Perrin]], a photographer who snapped a photo of [[Lucius's Kleavor]] in [[Tengu Mountain]], though she couldn't remember the exact place.<br />
<br />
Liko, Roy, Dot, Friede, and Perrin arrived in Tengu Mountain in ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]''. Following an encounter with a pack of wild {{p|Houndour}} and {{p|Houndoom}}, Liko was separated from the others and came across various scratches in the terrain, which she attributed to Kleavor. Using Hattrem's ability to sense emotions, Liko was able to ascertain that Kleavor wasn't angry and that the markings weren't meant as a warning sign. Eventually, the group reunited near a {{p|Dugtrio}}-shaped rock, where Dot identified Perrin's photo had been taken. In the [[HZ073|following episode]], once Liko and the others successfully tracked Kleavor down, Lapras emerged from her Poké Ball to greet her old friend. Liko and Lapras asked Kleavor to join them on their quest, to which it responded by entering a nearby cave. Liko, Roy, and Dot traversed the cave, eventually finding Kleavor waiting for them inside a bamboo grove. Realizing Kleavor aimed to test their might, Liko and the others accepted its challenge and sent out their Pokémon to face it. After a long battle over various terrains, Kleavor emerged victorious over Liko, Roy, and Dot's Terastallized Pokémon, but still acknowledged their strength and decided to return to its Ancient Poké Ball.<br />
<br />
In ''[[HZ074|The Three Explorers]]'', Liko reunited with Diana, who had successfully obtained more information on Lucius. Before telling everyone what she had learned, Diana challenged her granddaughter to a battle, which eventually ended in Liko's victory. Afterward, Diana told the Rising Volt Tacklers about how Lucius founded the original Explorers alongside his comrades, [[Rystal]] and [[Gibeon]]. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede took Diana to the Crystal Pool, where they successfully used its power to summon Rystal's spirit. There, they learned that Terapagos was actually Rystal's partner Pokémon and that she and Lucius are Liko's great-great-grandparents. Rystal [[HZ075|then proceeded]] to tell everyone how she met Lucius, how the original Explorers came to be, and what happened after they made it to Laqua, which ended up with Gibeon seemingly falling to his death and Lucius being sealed inside Laqua to prevent the Laquium from threatening the world's balance. When it was time for Rystal to return to her original time, she entrusted Terapagos to Liko, stating that she was its partner now. Liko comforted Terapagos, who was sad to see its original Trainer leave. With a Poké Ball she received from Friede, Liko caught Terapagos and adopted the nickname "[[Pagogo]]" from Rystal. Afterward, Diana bid farewell to Liko and the others and went on her own travels.<br />
<br />
After following leads from [[Wy-Yes]] and [[Siskel]], the Rising Volt Tacklers found what was presumed to be Lucius's {{p|Entei}} in ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', in an archipelago off the [[Olivine City]] coast. Although they failed to defeat it, Entei still recognized their strength, but was revealed to be a [[wild Pokémon]] unrelated to the Six Heroes.<br />
<br />
The Rising Volt Tacklers' search for Lucius's Entei led them to Paldea's {{pal|Pokémon League}} building in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', after Briar notified them about recent sightings of an Entei in Area Zero. In order for Liko, Roy, and Dot to be granted access to the area, they were tasked with defeating Geeta's Pokémon, consisting of a {{p|Glimmora}} and two {{p|Glimmet}}, in a battle. In the end, only Floragato and Glimmora remained, with Liko's Pokémon barely managing to win thanks to {{a|Overgrow}} activating. Having been granted permission, the children searched around Area Zero for Entei alongside Friede and Briar until it decided to appear before them in ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', revealing itself to actually be a {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. Eventually, after an intense battle, the Rising Volt Tacklers earned Gouging Fire's trust. In the [[HZ082|following episode]], the children and Friede battled once more against the Black Rayquaza after it had been summoned to Area Zero by the other heroes. Despite putting up a tough fight, Rayquaza was still able to endure their assault and retaliate, leaving only Roy's Crocalor and Pagogo, in its Terastal Form, standing. After being hit by a Dragon Ascent, Pagogo chose to share its [[Terastal energy]] with Crocalor, allowing it to Terastallize and weaken Rayquaza enough for it to go inside its Ancient Poké Ball.<br />
[[File:Lucius and Liko HZ089.png|250px|thumb|Lucius entrusting his dream to Liko]]<br />
With the Six Heroes gathered, the Rising Volt Tacklers headed towards Laqua, guided by Rayquaza. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede finally arrived there in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'' and were ambushed by the Explorers, who were following them for a while. Once again, Liko faced off against Sidian and was able to gain the upper hand without resorting to Terastallization even when her opponent did it. When Zirc and Onia arrived in ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', the young Rising Volt Tacklers were able to proceed to Laqua's previously sealed off area, where they discovered that Lucius was still alive. While Pagogo and Six Heroes gathered power to purify Laqua of Laquium, the children, alongside Amethio, Terastallized their main Pokémon in preparation for a showdown against [[Gibeon]] and the [[White Zygarde]]. The battle begun in the [[HZ088|following episode]] and was initially very one-sided, with the Order Pokémon being so powerful that they weren't able to deal notable damage even when exploiting a weakness. With a {{m|Land's Wrath}}, Zygarde defeated Crocalor and Quaxwell, and left Floragato and Ceruledge on their last legs. Refusing to give up, Liko encouraged Floragato to stand tall as well in order to protect their friends, which was the push necessary for her to evolve into {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}. For a final assault, she teamed up with Ceruledge, and managed to knock Zygarde down with her newly learned {{m|Flower Trick}}. At this moment, Zygarde forfeited the battle, revealing it was actually testing the strength and resolve of Liko and her friends all along, before disassembling and abandoning Gibeon due to his actions.<br />
<br />
In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', after Pagogo, in its Stellar Form, purified Laqua with the help of the Six Heroes, Liko witnessed Lucius fading away and promised to keep looking after Pagogo. Though the situation seemed over, Spinel used some Laquium mist he had stored on the Six Heroes, causing them to go berserk, except for Rayquaza. The rampaging heroes began attacking both friend and foe, causing the earth below everyone to become unstable and collapse. Rayquaza shielded Liko and the others with its body before urging them to flee the area. With Roy's Kilowattrel and Friede's Charizard, the group was able to reach the Brave Olivine, but soon faced a heavy loss when Friede and his Charizard were blown off by the heavy winds, leaving their fate unknown. <br />
[[File:Liko new outfit.png|250px|thumb|left|Liko deciding to go on a new journey with Roy]]<br />
Liko and the others eventually returned to Mount Pericarp to look for Friede, only to find that Exceed had the area blocked off. With Spinel framing Laqua's destruction on the Rising Volt Tacklers, the group decided to lay low and go their separate ways, with Liko initially returning home. In the year following these events however, Liko couldn't stay at home in Paldea because of Spinel's actions, and she ended up returning to Indigo Academy in Kanto. Fortunately, Liko was able to have a regular life at Indigo Academy because nobody, except Ann, knew she was a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers.<br />
<br />
[[HZ090|One]] [[HZ091|year]] after ''Where the Adventure Leads'', Liko reunited with Roy, who revealed that he and Dot discovered that Laquium was still affecting Pokémon worldwide, and told her that he needed her help. However, between being accustomed to Indigo Academy, Pagogo not coming out of its Poké Ball in the last year, and not wanting everyone there to know she was a Rising Volt Tackler, Liko refused, but apologized to Roy. Although, seeing Roy battling Ann and realizing that her three best friends were always moving ahead, Liko decided to have a battle with Roy. Liko gave it her all, but lost to Roy once again. Despite the loss, Liko with her newfound confidence decided to join Roy and Dot in exposing the truth about the events at Laqua in order to clear the Rising Volt Tacklers' name.<br />
<br />
In ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', while Liko, Roy, and [[Ult]] battle two Laquium-enhanced {{P|Steelix}}, when Liko was about to be attacked by both, Pagogo finally awakened from its Poké Ball to protect her with its energy barrier, proceeding to change into its Terastal Form and purify the Laquium affecting the two Steelix, much to Liko's joy.<br />
<br />
In ''[[HZ094|The Pokémon Center Lady]]'', Liko and Roy met Mollie, who was working at her family's Pokémon Center. Liko then sent Meowscarada to battle a Laquium-enhanced {{p|Vileplume}}, but she got badly poisoned, opting to switch for Hattrem instead. Liko Terastallized her for the first time to deal more powerful attacks, with Hattrem learning {{m|Healing Wish}} to cure Vileplume. In the [[HZ095|next episode]], Liko and Roy went to an Exceed facility after their battle with Vileplume, figuring it might have something to do with its Laquium infection. She and Roy then battled Coral and Sidian, only to be defeated by their Laquium-enhanced opponents before either of them could Terastallize their Partner Pokémon. Afterwards, both Trainers were saved by Ult, who managed to hold the Explorers off and help them escape after Coral recklessly commanded Glalie to use Self-Destruct. Liko and Roy, now joined by Ult, then proceeded on traveling to a new destination ahead.<br />
[[File:Dot Liko Roy Ult.png|thumb|250px|Liko, Roy, and Dot reforming the Rising Volt Tacklers with Ult joining them]]<br />
In ''[[HZ098|Reunion in Cortondo]]'', Liko and the others reunited with Murdock and Dot at the Patisserie Soapberry. Upon being told the children were reforming the Rising Volt Tacklers, Murdock grew concerned for their safety. To help relieve Murdock's worries, Katy challenged Liko to a rematch, using her {{p|Ursaring}}, Teddy, to battle Pagogo. Despite Katy using Terastallization again, Pagogo eventually emerged victorious, proving to Murdock how much Liko had grown over the past year. Liko, Roy, and Dot decided that if they wanted to prevent Strong Spheres from being released to the public, they would need the Brave Olivine as a faster means of transportation. Murdock explained that when everyone went their separate ways, [[Orla]] said she would dismantle the airship. Roy and Ult then suggested having her build a new Brave Olivine for them to fly on. With Dot joining the group, Liko and the others set off to meet with Orla in [[Galar]]. In the [[HZ099|next episode]], Liko and the others visited Orla at [[Karna]]'s [[Karna's Poké Ball factory|Poké Ball factory]]. While trying to convince Orla to aid them, Liko and the group find out through Ult that Karna had been hired to manufacture shells for the Strong Spheres, oblivious to what they truly were. Two Exceed employees came to pick up their order, but when Ult denied them, the Explorers members [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]] stepped in to take them by force. In the [[HZ100|following episode]], Liko, Roy, Ult, and Dot teamed up to battle Indi and Rubina's Laquium-enhanced {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}. By exploiting a weakness caused by the Laquium's effect, Liko and the others emerged victorious, forcing Indi and Rubina to retreat.<br />
<br />
Later, after Orla had been convinced to fly on the airship once again, Liko and the others pitched in to help clean and repair the Brave Olivine. Once they were done, Mollie, Murdock, and Ludlow arrived to join as well. To everyone else's surprise, Ult proudly stated he would be joining the Rising Volt Tacklers as their newest member. As they prepared to take off, Dot discovered a message from Friede revealing to everyone that he was alive and well, but was in hiding from the Explorers.<br />
<br />
In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ult met with Geeta and Clavell at Naranja Academy to discuss Laquium and how Exceed was exploiting its power for their own gain. They then talked about the same subject with [[Jacq]], who promised to do his own investigation on how Laquium affects Pokémon. In the [[HZ102|next episode]], while doing research on Laquium Signs in [[South Province (Area Three)]] with the others, Liko encountered a student named {{OBP|Pepper|HZ102}}, whose partner {{p|Scovillain}} had gone missing. Later, she came across a scared and injured group of Pokémon being attacked by Pepper's Scovillain, which had been affected by Laquium and went on a rampage. Seeing a wild {{p|Happiny}} about to be attack by Scovillain, Liko went to protect the Playhouse Pokémon, but the {{p|Charcadet}} she had met [[HZ057|one year earlier]] rescued them. Also, after seeing Liko risk herself to protect its friends, Charcadet teamed up with Pagogo to battle and purify Scovillain, returning it to its senses. Once Scovillain and Pepper were reunited, Liko said goodbye to {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}}, only for it to request that she let it join her team, which Liko happily accepted.<br />
[[File:Amethio and Liko HZ104.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko reunites with Amethio]]<br />
In ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]'', Liko attended a Nidothing and Iono fan meeting in Levincia. While waiting for the event to begin, she and the others came across Zirc and Onia. Upon learning that Zirc was a fellow Nidothing fan but lost his ticket to the event, Liko agreed to help find it. Everyone tracked the ticket to a nearby beach, where it ended up stuck to a wild {{p|Wugtrio}}. Together, Liko and the others battled Wugtrio, giving Zirc's {{p|Rhydon}} the opportunity to retrieve the ticket. Later, after the event finished, Zirc and Onia approached Liko and revealed that Amethio went missing sometime after the incident at Laqua. To Liko's surprise, Zirc and Onia personally requested that she help them locate Amethio's whereabouts. In the [[HZ104|next episode]], Liko accompanied Zirc and Onia to [[Amethio's mansion]] where she found out more about his past. With a picture of Amethio when he was younger and help from [[Cervantis]], Liko, Zirc and Onia found him on an island near Levincia. After telling Amethio everything that had happened in the past year, Liko had a battle with him when her Charcadet wanted to battle his Ceruledge, which was called off. In the end, Liko and Charcadet's determination motivated both Amethio and his Ceruledge to fight against Spinel once again. Liko and Amethio then parted ways.<br />
<br />
In ''[[HZ108|Taking the Next Steps]]'', Liko was reunited with her grandmother Diana, who informed everyone about a possible method to have Pagogo fully eradicate the Laquium. After being informed about Spinel capturing the remaining Six Heroes, Diana noticed Liko's newly-caught Charcadet and challenged her to a [[Double Battle]] to test her skills. While Meowscarada was defeated by a {{m|Flare Blitz}} from Diana's Arcanine, Charcadet defeated Wash {{p|Rotom}} before falling to Arcanine shortly afterwards. Once the battle concluded, Diana discussed with the Rising Volt Tacklers about finding the location of the remaining Six Heroes at an Exceed facility, with Liko suggesting they get answers from Cervantis. In the [[HZ109|next episode]], Liko received an email from Cervantis, who requested the Rising Volt Tacklers come meet him in person at an Exceed distribution center. Shortly after they arrived, Liko, Roy, and Ult found out the message was a fake sent by Spinel to lure them out. In the [[HZ110|following episode]], Indi and Rubina used Super Strong Spheres to further empower the captured Six Heroes and made them battle Liko and the others. Liko had Pagogo purify the Laquium afflicting the Six Heroes, only for it to be quickly taken out when the Explorers just used the Super Strong Spheres on the heroes a second time.<br />
[[File:Liko and her Pokémon HZ116.png|thumb|250px|Liko and her Pokémon trainning at Blueberry Academy]] <br />
In ''[[HZ111|Better, Farther, Stronger!]]'', Liko and her friends continued struggling against the rampaging heroes. Despite the timely assistance by Amethio and Zygarde, the battle still resulted in a complete defeat for the Rising Volt Tacklers. Exhausted, the effects of the Super Strong Spheres wore off on the Six Heroes, whose unconscious bodies were taken away by the Explorers. After bidding farewell to Amethio, [[Hamber]], and Cervantis, Liko and the others received a call from Briar, who suggested that they come meet her at [[Blueberry Academy]]. Realizing that Blueberry Academy is a school that specializes in Pokémon battling, Liko and her friends decided it would be the perfect location to train for their next encounter with the Explorers.<br />
<br />
In ''[[HZ118|Liko and Hattrem, Bonded by Happiness!]]'', Liko and her Pokémon, except Pagogo, joined Ann and her party with Ditto Block Hunting [[Blueberry Quest]] in the [[Terarium]]. Liko previously thought Hattrem was holding herself back for the sake of Meowscarada and Charcadet, however, after Ann told Liko about her relationship with her older and younger sibling, Liko realized Hattrem wasn't holding herself back at all, but that she was doing what she wanted to do all along because it made her happy. After a heartfelt moment with Hattrem over making sandwiches, Liko confessed that she was happy she met Hattrem and apologized for not realizing Hattrem's intentions before, making her cry tears of joy and triggered her evolution into {{p|Hatterene}}. The next day, Liko and her party were having breakfast when Dot and Roy entered informing her that Briar had acquired new data on Terapagos.<br />
<br />
In ''[[HZ124|Operation Infiltration!]]'', Liko and her friends infiltrated the Explorers HQ to rescue the remaining Six Heroes. Liko and Dot tried to hack through the back door but were caught by Indi and Rubina. After Amethio and his Ceruledge showed up in time, Liko battle alongside them in a tag team against Indi and Rubina. Liko and Amethio both worked well as a team, with her Charcadet eventually evolving into {{p|Armarouge}} mid-battle, defeating the Explorers' two {{p|Salamence}} with its new {{m|Armor Cannon}} move, forcing Indi and Rubina to retreat. Liko and her friends then snuck into the HQ to rescue the remaining Six Heroes, only to be led into a trap set by Spinel, with Liko and her friends facing against each of the remaining Six Heroes and Explores Admins one on one. In the [[HZ125|next episode]], Liko used her Meowscarada and Hatterene against Lucius's Kleavor. After Hatterene got knocked out, Liko had Meowscarada use her invisible flower stems to trap Kleavor and unleashed a massive Magical Leaf, defeating the Axe Pokémon.<br />
<br />
In ''[[HZ126|Strong Bonds, Can't Lose!]]'', Liko battled [[Dash]] under the condition that if she lost the usage of Strong Sphere would be unbanned on Naranja Academy's ground, after she and her group convinced Geeta alongside Clavell to do so. Fortunately, Liko won her battle and was able to help Dash realize that using Strong Sphere would only cause pain for her {{p|Swanna}}. In the [[HZ127|next episode]], Liko used her Armarouge to battle against Ann's Samurott, with both trainers Terastallizing their Pokémon. After a series of attacks both Pokémon were knocked out, resulting in a draw.<br />
[[File:Liko Meowscarada Hatterene.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and her two Tera type Pokémon, Meowscarada and Hatterene]]<br />
In ''[[HZ133|The Final Battle Is Near]]'', Liko went with Ann, Captain Pikachu, and Diana on the latter's Arcanine to go further in Laqua while Dot, Nemona, and Penny stayed behind to battle the Explorers. In the [[HZ134|next episode]], Liko, Ann, Captain Pikachu, and Diana meet up with Amethio, Onia, and Zirc, as they worked together to help the Laquium affected Pokémon when Spinel activated his upgraded Laquium-activating machines. After Captain Pikachu destroyed the machines and Pagogo purified the Laquium from the Pokémon with Zygarde, Onia, and Zirc taking them to safety, Liko, Ann, and Diana meet up with their friends. Liko and the group then encounter Spinel, Rubina, and Indi.<br />
<br />
In ''[[HZ135|The Core Awakens]]'', Liko and her friends start erasing the Laquium Core, but the Explorers got in the way, even defeating Penny's {{p|Sylveon}} in the process. However, Liko and the group became surprised when Coral turned against Spinel and used her {{p|Scream Tail}}, nicknamed Screamypuff, to take Sylveon's place. Liko and the group became even more surprised when Chalce and Sidian also turned against Spinel as they with Coral decided to team up with the heroes in order to stop him for good. During the process to remove Laquium, Spinel merged with its Core, casuing it to awaken, much to Liko and the group's shock. Liko and the group tried to fight it, but it was too strong. However, they refused to give up and found out that the middle of the Laquium Core was the weak point that they needed to hit. In the [[HZ136|following episode]], Liko watched Roy and Amethio use their Mega-Evolved Legendary Pokémon to destroy the Laquium Core's defenses. Liko then battled Spinel in order to stop him from attacking Pagogo, where she emerged victorious. She then witnessed Pagogo purifying the Laquium Core for good. After the threat with Laquium was over, Liko said farewell to Pagogo, as it decided to stay at Laqua with the Six Heroes and Zygarde to restore the land. Later, Liko decided to remain with the Rising Volt Tacklers and go on new adventures with her friends/teammates, as they are now free to fly into the sky without worry, after having their name clear with the public.<br />
<br />
===Character===<br />
[[File:Liko bashfulness.png|thumb|250px|Liko's social anxiety]]<br />
Liko is a kind, soft-spoken, and polite girl who doesn't do well in stressful situations. She seems to be studious when it comes to learning how to build a bond with Pokémon and is rather insightful, being able to spot behavioral patterns with ease, such as [[Captain Pikachu]]'s during the [[HZ007|special training]]. She has also been shown to be cautious about trusting others, as she quickly realized something was amiss when [[Amethio]] presented himself as a representative of her grandmother, [[Diana]], and she was initially unsure about the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] since [[Friede]] took her to their [[Brave Olivine|airship]] without providing her with any information about what was happening. However, after seeing the Rising Volt Tacklers willing to protect her and help rescue {{p|Sprigatito}} from the [[Explorers]], Liko came to trust them. Despite her intelligence, Liko has also been shown to be gullible and naïve on occasion, mainly when it comes to realizing that Nidothing and [[Dot]] are the same person until she is told the truth in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]''. Liko can also be clumsy and has a tendency to lose her balance, stumble, or fall down on occasion. <br />
<br />
Liko is a big fan of Nidothing and watches her videos, where she posts comments under the username '''Sprigatito Love''' (Japanese: '''ニャオハ大好きっ子''' ''{{tt|Nyahoja|Sprigatito}} Superfan''). Although she now knows that Nidothing and Dot are the same person, Liko openly treats them both as individual people. She even goes to the point of trying to believe that Nidothing is just Nidothing and nobody is inside the costume, as seen in ''[[HZ039|Tinkatink's Ideal Hammer]]'' and ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]''. She gets excited to meet others who are also Nidothing fans, such as [[Yuno]] and [[Litten Smitten]], and when she finds out that those she knows are a fan of her as well, such as [[Zirc]].<br />
<br />
She appears to be adept at drawing, as it is common for her to do so when she writes in her [[Rotom Phone|diary]] about her day. As revealed in ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', Liko gets her drawing skills from her father, [[Alex]]. Liko is also good at painting, as seen in ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Flame and Art]]'', when she makes a drawing of {{p|Arboliva}} with her Pokémon's help. In addition, Liko is a good observer and has been seen writing down her observations in her Rotom Phone.<br />
<br />
Liko has been shown to be a bit bashful and socially anxious around new people. In ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', after seeing that other [[Indigo Academy]] students also liked Nidothing, Liko thought about striking up a conversation with them but was unable to voice her thoughts. On occasions when this initial barrier is overcome, however, Liko can easily make friends, quickly befriending [[Ann]] and [[Roy]] after meeting them. Liko's kindness, compassion, and her willingness to help others encourages many people around her and earns their friendship, as was seen in ''[[HZ008|The Door That Never Opens]]'', when she was able to get the initially reserved Dot to open up more by bringing her lunch and inviting her to watch Nidothing's livestream after hearing the streamer's background music from the other girl's room. This was shown again in ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]'', when Liko helped the often brash and awkward [[Ult]] to become more comfortable with the group, and understand the concept of working as a team. Even some former enemies have eventually been drawn in by her compassionate nature as time progressed, as seen during ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]'' when Zirc and [[Onia]] asked her to help them find Amethio. In addition, Liko has shown an interest in helping people and Pokémon with their romantic problems.<br />
<br />
When she hears or sees something that excites her, she claps her hands together, as shown in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', after discovering that she has actually met a [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Liko is shown to not be a picky eater, telling [[Murdock]] in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'' that she'll eat anything. Liko also knows how to cook [[curry]], as seen in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', when she made some for her friends to try, and they enjoyed it. She is also able to make other food, as she made pancakes for the group in ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]''. In addition, Liko has a habit of keeping her emotions to herself, which Ann pointed out in ''[[HZ118|Liko and Hattrem, Bonded by Happiness!]]''. However, Liko can be emotional, as seen in ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]'', when she cries for the first time after losing a battle against [[Rika]]. Sometimes, Liko can be hard on herself when she doesn't accomplish something, which leads her to doubt herself, but quickly cheers up through the assurances and motivation from her friends.<br />
<br />
[[File:Liko and Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko playing with Pokémon during a picnic]]<br />
Liko cares very much about Pokémon and loves them with all her heart. She has also shown to prioritize their safety, as demonstrated in ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'', where she attempted to surrender herself to the Explorers so that the Rising Volt Tacklers' Pokémon wouldn't get hurt. Liko will do anything to protect Pokémon, especially her own, from danger, even to the point of being reckless in order to do so, as shown in ''[[HZ026|Terapagos's Adventure]]'', when she attempted to save [[Pagogo]] from falling off the Brave Olivine, which would have led her to fall off as well if not for her grandmother and her {{p|Arcanine}}. This was shown again in ''[[HZ102|The Knight in the Ruins]]'', when she went to protect a wild {{p|Happiny}} from getting attacked by a [[Laquium]]-afflicted {{p|Scovillain}}, but both were saved by a wild {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}} that she met a [[HZ057|year earlier]], as it decided to become one of her Pokémon partners after witnessing her compassion for them. She often feels happy and excited when meeting new Pokémon in general, in stark contrast to her usual bashfulness with new people. Her declaration of love for Pokémon in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]'' further strengths her resolve about not needing Laquium as she acknowledges she can feel the bonds with her Pokémon partners, something that [[Spinel]] cannot understand despite Liko calling him out saying that he did once love {{p|Umbreon}} allowing for her evolution to which Spinel declines, unable to comprehend and dismissing it leading to his defeat.<br />
<br />
Though Liko can be timid and uncertain of her abilities, especially in dangerous situations, she has shown a brave side when supported by those around her, people and Pokémon alike, as seen in episodes such as ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'' and ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', after Sprigatito, and later Roy and Dot, encouraged her to stand tall against the Explorers, and ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'', when she reminded Roy and herself about what they as Trainers could do with Pokémon by their side. However, throughout her journey, Liko becomes more confident in herself, showing more of her courageous side and less of her fearful side. Liko also developed a never-giving-up attitude, having took to heart Amethio's words of letting a setback stop her from achieving her goals in ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', and even repeated them to Amethio himself in ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'' when his own confidence was brought low by the last year's events. Her courage and determination has inspired her Pokémon to do the same, as her Sprigatito evolves into Floragato in ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'' then into {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} in ''[[HZ088|The Earthshaking White Zygarde]]'' because of her resolve. <br />
<br />
Liko has a calm disposition and is very approachable, as shown in ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', when she was able to approach a shy and seclusive {{p|Hatenna}} she met near the [[Galar Mine]], as it led them to bond and the Calm Pokémon becoming one of her Pokémon partners thanks to her calm emotions. She also has a stubborn streak, which her grandmother described to her Sprigatito in ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]''. In addition, Liko seems to be a good secret keeper, as she helps Dot maintain her identity as Nidothing and decided to not tell a group of [[Snap Boys|photographers]] that she saw a wild {{p|Palafin}} transform into its hero form in ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]''.<br />
[[File:Liko and Ann.png|thumb|250px|Liko and Ann]]<br />
Ever since being assigned to the observation deck on the Brave Olivine in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Liko came to enjoy hanging out there because it was peaceful and quiet, as she would go there in order to get away from whatever was troubling her. Liko often tries to prioritize the happiness of other people before her own, but this sometimes ends up having the opposite effect due to her not properly considering their feelings. This tendency, along with a lack of a goal, resulted in Liko's own development and growth as a Trainer stagnating due to having very little ambition of her own. However, in ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', Liko decided that she wants to be a Trainer that understands how Pokémon feel. Liko has also learned to not hold back in a Pokémon battle and should give her all no matter who the opponent is. In addition, Liko has come to enjoy battling and wants to become stronger in order to protect those she cares about. Liko's true strength shines through when she is fighting for others, especially for her friends and family, which [[Grusha]] points out in ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]''.<br />
<br />
Liko shares a great relationship with her family and is supportive of them. During her time with her grandmother, Liko became much closer with her, as she came to enjoy spending time with her. Liko is also used to having her family busy, due to her parents working and her grandmother traveling. Ever since the events in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Liko came to admire Friede for his selflessness and compassion for others, and is impressed with his skills as a Pokémon Trainer and [[Pokémon Professor|Professor]]. Although, Liko seemed to have picked up Friede's tendency to forget to give important details, as seen in ''[[HZ074|The Three Explorers]]''. In addition to Friede, Liko has a close relationship with the rest of her teammates. However, out of all her teammates, Liko shares a remarkable relationship with Roy and Dot, as they are her best friends and mostly hangs out with them. Liko also has a close friendship with Ann, even keeping in touch with her whenever she could, especially before or after class at Indigo Academy. Although, Liko tries to protect Ann and doesn't want her dear friend to get hurt, but eventually accepted her decision of wanting to help her, as shown in ''[[HZ127|The Training Royale!]]''.<br />
[[File:Amethio and Liko.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and Amethio]]<br />
At first, Liko saw Amethio as her enemy due to being a member of the Explorers and his attempts to kidnap her. However, during the events in ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', Liko starts to see Amethio differently when he saved her from getting hurt during a battle against the [[Black Rayquaza]]. Liko further sees Amethio differently in ''[[HZ067|Liko and Amethio]]'' when they opened up to each other, which led her to bonding with him. Ever since, Liko trusts Amethio and comes to care about him, even helping Onia and Zirc find him when they informed her about his disappearances after the events in Laqua. Upon being informed of the [[HZ075|Explorers origins]], Liko quickly accepted her great-great grandparents [[Lucius]] and [[Rystal]]'s history with Amethio's grandfather [[Gibeon]]. Liko and Amethio have also shown to work well together in battle, as seen in ''[[HZ111|Better, Farther, Stronger!]]'' and ''[[HZ124|Operation Infiltration!]]''.<br />
<br />
She is very appreciative and supportive to those around her, especially her Pokémon, as seen in ''[[HZ118|Liko and Hattrem, Bonded by Happiness!]]'', when she at first thought her {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} was holding herself back for the sake of the rest of her party and not doing what she wanted to do, but she soon realizes that wasn't the case at all and that Hattrem was doing what she wanted to do; helping other Pokémon as she had since she was a Hatenna, making Liko apologize for not realizing it sooner and thanking Hattrem, being grateful that she met her. This was shown again in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]'' when Liko supported Pagogo's choice to stay in Laqua with the Six Heroes and the White Zygarde to rebuild the land and protect it, thanking Pagogo for everything they've done together since they first met and promising to come visit one day.<br />
<br />
[[HZ089|Upon losing Friede]], Pagogo not coming out of its Poké Ball, and the Rising Volt Tacklers disbanding after being framed by Spinel, Liko's confidence took a hit and she hid her affiliation from her classmates, with Ann being the only one who knew. Despite her own talent, she also lets Ann become the ace of Indigo Academy, contributing to her feelings of renewed stagnation over the year. In addition, Liko has avoided everything associated with the Rising Volt Tacklers to hide the pain of what she went through, even going to the point of not staying in contact with Roy and Dot or watching her Nidothing videos. Although, Liko's other reason for not staying in contact with Roy and Dot was because she thought they were mad at her for agreeing with the older members of the Rising Volt Tacklers decision to disband the team instead of them in staying as a group, as revealed in ''[[HZ094|The Pokémon Center Lady]]''. However, upon reuniting with Roy and finding out that he came to ask her for help in reviving the Rising Volt Tacklers with Dot, Liko realizes that her two best friends never stopped caring about her and didn't held her decision in letting the Rising Volt Tacklers disband against her. She also realizes that Roy, Dot, and Ann are always moving forward with their Pokémon partners, which inspired her to do the same, as she cuts loose in her battle against Roy in ''[[HZ091|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part Two)]]'' and reveals to her classmates that she is a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers.<br />
<br />
After regaining her confidences and with a newfound resolve to move forward for herself, Liko is now determined to reclaim her agency and clear the Rising Volt Tacklers' name, while returning to traveling with both her best friends and Pokémon, in hopes of one day being able to soar the skies on the Brave Olivine with her friends once more. Her wish soon starts coming true not just when the Rising Volt Tacklers are officially re-formed in ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'' with the addition of a new friend and teammate in Ult, but also with the discovery that Friede is still alive but in hiding. Liko also works with Roy, Dot, and Captain Pikachu in making decisions during Friede's absences. When Friede returned in ''[[HZ121|The Catcher in the Sky]]'', Liko comes to [[HZ122|accept]] in being a founding member of the reformed Rising Volt Tacklers, but knows that her best friends, Pokémon, and the rest of her teammates are there to assist her in her time of need. After having their name clear with the public in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]'', Liko and her teammates took some time off until meeting up with Friede in the [[HZ137|next episode]], where she alongside Roy, Dot, and Ult have their interest in traveling revived. During their new adventures, Liko with her teammates get a new friend and member in [[Navi]].<br />
<br />
Although still compassionate, Liko has become much more serious in dealing with situations, especially in dealing with the Explorers, and less afraid of what people think of her. She also refuses to back down, even when she is pushed into a wall, and would get back up, as seen in ''[[HZ135|The Core Awakens]]'' when she refused to give up against the Laquium Core after Spinel merged with it and their plan appeared to be ruined. Liko is much more adventurous than she was when she first started out as a Trainer. She is also no longer feels stressed out in situations and is able to interact with people without getting shy or nervous, as seen in [[HZ142]] when she quickly befriended Navi. During her training at [[Blueberry Academy]], Liko learns to get the facts before jumping to conclusions and open up in expressing her emotions. She has also became more open in interacting with people and is<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
[[File:Liko team.png|thumb|200px|Liko's current [[party]]]]<br />
Liko's team mostly consist of Pokémon who are, in some way, related to strong emotions, tying it to her goal of learning more about the feelings of Pokémon. As Liko matured as a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, so did her ability to recognize and deal with the emotional necessities of her Pokémon, which can be most clearly seen in her history with {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}. Her team has also shown to have a strong bond with each other, as they look out for one another. In addition, Meowscarada has occasionally been seen carrying {{TP|Liko|Hatterene}} during her first two [[evolution]]ary stages, and when [[Pagogo]] was with them had {{TP|Liko|Armarouge}}, as a Charcadet, ride its back. Her Pokémon all have Liko's compassion, loyalty, and reckless nature, as they would do anything to protect anyone in danger, especially their Trainer and each other.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, her Pokémon seemed to take on a particular role on the team as they developed: Meowscarada and Hatterene are Liko's main {{pkmn|battle}}rs, while Armarouge is a secondary battler. Additionally, Hatterene can be seen as the healer, healing any Pokémon, even her own teammates, when they are injured. When Pagogo was on the team it was a main battler and the protector, considering its ability to put up shields and purify [[Laquium]].<br />
<br />
In battle, she shows great capability of using her Pokémon's unique traits, such as Meowscarada's invisible stem to confuse her opponents then tying them up and Hatterene's, while she was a Hattrem, psychic power to help detect enemies, as shown in ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'', when she used her to guide Meowscarada around {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}}'s attack. She also makes consistent use of her Armarouge's {{a|Flash Fire}} [[Ability]] by letting it absorb fire attacks to strengthen itself while also protecting Meowscarada showcasing her talent in battle tactics as a Trainer. Furthermore, she is smart enough to counter her opponents strategy, demonstrated when she used her Armarouge's {{m|Clear Smog}} to eliminate the power up [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]]'s {{p|Salamence}} had with {{m|Dragon Dance}}.<br />

==In the games==<br />
===[[Pokémon Mezastar]]===<br />
Liko, in a version based on the animated series, appeared in [[Pokémon Mezastar]]. In this game, Liko is seen using {{p|Fuecoco}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Quaxly}}, and {{p|Sprigatito}}, with Fuecoco, Charizard, and Quaxly being Pokémon that she was not seen using in the animated series, although it could be a reference to [[Roy's Fuecoco]], [[Friede's Charizard]], and [[Dot's Quaxly]]. In the [[Gorgeous Star set 1 (Mezastar)|first<br />
Gorgeous Star series]], as part of a tie-in with the animated series, [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] Liko, [[Roy]], [[Friede]] or [[Explorers]] Admin [[Amethio]], could randomly challenge the player as a Trainer and Battle opponent.<br />

* Liko's first main attire bears a resemblance to {{p|Oshawott}}, with her belt bag resembling Oshawott's [[Scalchop and seamitar|scalchop]].<br />
* Liko's in-game [[Trainer ID number]] is 230414, the Japanese air date of ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'' and ''[[HZ002|(Part Two)]]'', the first two episodes of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.<br />

'''Miraidon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミライドン''' ''Miraidon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] [[Paradox Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Miraidon is said to be either a decendant of {{p|Cyclizar}} or a version of it from a parallel timeline. It also has an ancient counterpart, {{p|Koraidon}}.<br />
<br />
Miraidon can [[#Form data|change forms]] as it traverses varying terrain and adapts to different situations.<br />
*When it is at full strength and in a {{pkmn|battle}}, it is in its '''Ultimate Mode'''.<br />
*Outside of a battle or when it has little power, it is in its '''Low-Power Mode'''.<br />
*When it is sprinting on the land, it is in its '''Drive Mode'''.<br />
*When it is swimming in the water, it is in its '''Aquatic Mode'''.<br />
*When it is gliding in the sky, it is in its '''Glide Mode'''.<br />
<br />
Miraidon is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet}}, appearing on the game's box art in its Ultimate Mode. In the [[Violet Book]], it is also known as the "'''Iron Serpent'''" (Japanese: '''テツノオロチ''' ''Tetsuno'orochi''). Miraidon and Koraidon are often collectively referred to as the [[Paradox duo]] by fans. It is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:Miraidon tongue Adventures.png|thumb|left|180px|Miraidon's robotic tongue]]<br />
Miraidon is a large, robotic, {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a primarily metallic, violet body. Its face, neck, abdomen, tail, and knee joints are silver, while its claws are white. A distinctive feature of Miraidon is the {{wp|gular skin|gular sac}} on its throat, which changes appearance across its various forms. Its head features a small, dark purple {{wp|Casque (anatomy)|casque}} reminiscent of a motorcycle windshield and circular, purple cheek markings. Miraidon's eyes resemble an {{wp|LED display}}, with black sclerae and pupils and pixelated irises that can change pattern to simulate blinking. Each eye is bordered by two connected silver plates that resemble eyelids, from which long blue and yellow plasma-like antennae extend, resembling eyebrows. Miraidon's shoulders are equipped with backward-curving, handlebar-like structures. A black, {{wp|Fender (vehicle)|fender}}-like structure is positioned on its lower back just above the base of its tail. Each of Miraidon's feet has three claws, with the central one marked by a vertical black line. Both its tail and gular sac have grooved surfaces, resembling {{wp|tire tread}}s. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Miraidon is shown to possess a robotic tongue that visually resembles its gular sac.<br />
<br />
Miraidon bears a resemblance to {{p|Cyclizar}}, though it is notably more powerful and aggressive. According to [[AI Turo]], it is a descendant of Cyclizar from the distant future. However, according to a version of [[Professor Turo]] that was summoned at the [[Crystal Pool]], Miraidon is a counterpart of Cyclizar from {{Pkmn|multiverse|another timeline}}. The origins of Miraidon in the present day trace back to a [[time machine]] constructed by [[Professor Turo]], which brought two specimens to [[Area Zero]] ten years ago. These two individuals displayed contrasting temperaments: the {{ga|Miraidon|first one}} was friendly and curious, while the [[Area Zero#Area Zero Depths|second one]] was aggressive and territorial. 200 years ago, [[Heath]] also encountered a Miraidon as seen in the [[Violet Book]], though it is unclear how it arrived in Area Zero at the time. It was formerly referred to as the "Iron Serpent" in the Violet Book, with its current name, Miraidon, attributed to Professor Turo, potentially due to a {{wp|bootstrap paradox}}. Much remains unknown about Miraidon's ecology and other details. Despite its mechanical appearance, it displays behavior that suggests an advanced level of intelligence and perceptiveness. It carefully evaluates a person's character using keen insight before deciding to accompany them. Miraidon's calm and enigmatic nature makes it difficult to discern its thoughts or emotions, with subtle hints only visible in its eyes.<ref name=Miraidon>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/miraidon/ Miraidon | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> Miraidon also exhibits biological traits such as the ability to produce saliva and even consume food, specifically [[Herba Mystica]] [[sandwich]]es, to regain strength and power, allowing it to access its transformations after being weakened. Due to the smell of Herba Mystica smell on them, Miraidon can track down [[Titan Pokémon]].<br />
<br />
Miraidon is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Electro Drift}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Hadron Engine}} as an [[Ability]].<br />
<br />
===Forms===<br />
Miraidon has five forms: Ultimate Mode, Low-Power Mode, Drive Mode, Aquatic Mode, and Gliding Mode. In all of its travel forms, Miraidon's tail stays tucked in, and its back legs remain folded, exposing its jet engines for propulsion.<br />

<br />
====Ultimate Mode====<br />
[[File:Miraidon attacks anime.png|thumb|250px|Ultimate Mode Miraidon shooting electricity from its hind legs, functioning as cannons]]<br />
In its Ultimate Mode, Miraidon's body becomes charged with purplish-yellow energy. Its gular sac inflates and glows with a bluish-white light, while its antennae flare with electricity, taking on the appearance of lightning bolts. The middle and tip of its tail also emit this energy. Miraidon's back legs fold into its thighs, forming jet engine-like structures that enable it to hover and fly. Its legs also double as electrical cannons in this form. Its irises display a unique combination of light blue outer rings and yellow inner rings. Areas on its cheeks, arms, handlebars, and thighs are filled with light purple energy. When Miraidon enters sleep, it deactivates, causing its glowing features to turn silver. According to [[Arven]], this is Miraidon's true form.<br />
<br />
In {{pkmn|battle}}, Miraidon floats to maintain a strategic position, applying pressure to grounded foes while predicting their movements and striking at their weak points. It uses electricity generated within its body to charge its claws, fangs, and tail, with one strike from its charged tail said to knock out even the most resilient opponents.<ref name=Miraidon/> Miraidon can achieve high speeds and unleash powerful, electrically charged attacks, utilizing the {{a|Hadron Engine|advanced engine}} within its body to amplify its abilities, especially when surrounded by {{m|Electric Terrain}}. Miraidon can also {{m|Electro Drift|race at ultrafast speeds}} to pierce its targets with futuristic electricity. Miraidon can unleash lightning powerful enough to scorch the land from its mouth, neck, or hind legs. <br />
<br />
====Low-Power Mode====<br />
In Low-Power Mode, Miraidon adopts a quadrupedal stance. It lacks the intense purplish-yellow energy seen in Ultimate Mode, resulting in a monochromatic silver appearance on its gular sac, antennae, and tail similar to when entering sleep in that form. Its irises remain light blue, and areas on its cheeks, antennae, handlebars, and thighs retain subtle light purple energy. Miraidon assumes this form when weakened or not engaging in a battle.<br />
<br />
====Drive Mode====<br />
In Drive Mode, energy is channeled to Miraidon's tail and throat, creating wheel-like rings that make it resemble a motorcycle. This enables high-speed movement and also cliff climbing through its legs.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref><br />
<br />
====Aquatic Mode====<br />
In Aquatic Mode, Miraidon's rings expand to help it float and propel itself through rivers, lakes, and oceans using either the rotation of the rings or its jet engines.<ref name=SVsite/><br />
<br />
====Glide Mode====<br />
In Glide Mode, Miraidon's antennae extend to spread an energy membrane, allowing it to glide or even fly in the air.<ref name=SVsite/><ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/flying/ Unlock the Power to Fly with Koraidon or Miraidon! - Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref><br />

<br />
===[[Form]] data===<br />
Miraidon can switch between five forms: Ultimate Mode, Low-Power Mode, Drive Mode, Aquatic Mode, and Gliding Mode.<br />
<br />
The Ultimate Mode is the only form of Miraidon that can be used in a {{pkmn|battle}}. Miraidon assumes its Low-Power Mode when it is not battling or has been weakened. The Drive, Aquatic, and Gliding Modes are used for traveling in the land, water, or air, respectively.<br />
<br />
Only Miraidon's Ultimate Mode is recognized as a form in the [[Pokédex]]. However, its Low-Power Mode is fully usable in battle when [[Cheating|hacked]] into {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, albeit with various glitches and oddities, and has an unused [[Pokédex entry]]. It shares these traits with {{p|Koraidon}}. Miraidon's ride forms are listed as being 9'2" / 2.7 m tall, which is smaller than its Ultimate Mode.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Scarlet_and_Violet#Dex_Entries Miraidon & Koraidon's ride forms on The Cutting Room Floor]</ref><br />

===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Miraidon (game)}}<br />
Miraidon debuted in ''[[PASV01|Speeding! Paldea's Prince of Speed!!]]'' as [[Violet Lang]]'s ride. In ''[[PASV02|Discover! The Quaking Earth Titan!!]]'', Violet revealed to {{adv|Arven}} that he had encountered Miraidon as it crashed down on a beach near [[Cabo Poco]] and started following him after eating his [[sandwich]]. [[Professor Turo]] had then contacted him, informing him that Miraidon had previously been in his possession, and told Violet that its current depowered state could be remedied with the help of the [[Herba Mystica]], inspiring Violet to find them in order to unlock Miraidon's full potential. It debuted in its Drive Mode, with its other forms being unlocked and appearing later on.<br />

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Miraidon and {{p|Koraidon}} are the only [[Paradox Pokémon]]:<br />
** Whose names follow regular {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} naming conventions.<br />
*** To not have different names between languages.<br />
** To each have their own unique {{Abilities}}.<br />
* The modes of Miraidon in Japanese and Korean use borrowed words from English, showing modernity, while the builds of {{p|Koraidon}} in the same languages use {{wp|Sino-Japanese vocabulary|Sino-Japanese}} and {{wp|Sino-Korean vocabulary|Sino-Korean}} words respectively, showing tradition and the past.<br />
* Miraidon is the tallest Paradox Pokémon in the Paldea Pokédex and the only known future Paradox Pokémon to be taller than both its {{p|Cyclizar|present-day}} and {{p|Koraidon|ancient}} relatives.<br />
** It is also the only future Paradox Pokémon not to have the word "Iron" in its name. However, its other name in the [[Violet Book]] is "Iron Serpent".<br />
** Miraidon is also the only {{type|Dragon}} Paradox Pokémon to be a future Paradox Pokémon rather than an ancient one.<br />
* Miraidon has the highest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.<br />
* Of all Pokémon, Miraidon and Koraidon have the highest number of forms that are obtainable in some capacity yet unusable in battle, as they each use three forms solely for travel and are obtained in their fourth low power forms, yet can only battle in their high-power forms.<br />
** {{p|Rotom}} has five forms that are unusable in battle ([[Rotom Pokédex|Pokédex]], [[Rotom Phone|Phone]], [[Rotom Bike|Bike]], [[Rotomi]], [[Drone Rotom|Drone]]), but Rotomi and Drone Rotom are completely unobtainable.<br />
* Prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Miraidon was able to learn {{m|Power Gem}} at level 49. Now, it can only learn the [[move]] via [[TM]].<br />
* Despite being able to swim and fly with the player on its back, Miraidon cannot learn {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Fly}}. It shares this trait with Koraidon.<br />
<br />
===Cultural impact===<br />
[[File:Toyota Miraidon Project Toyota Miraidon.jpg|thumb|250px|<br />
"Drive Mode" Toyota Miraidon created for the Toyota Miraidon Project]]<br />
Miraidon is the subject of the [[Toyota Miraidon Project]], which seeks to recreate the Pokémon as a mobile model.<br />
<br />
===Merchandise===<br />
* Miraidon was featured as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card and on stickers in the [[2024 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Miraidon's appearance may be based on a robotic serpentine dragon and various lizards, such as the {{wp|anole}} or the genera ''{{wp|Sitana}}'' and ''{{wp|Sarada (lizard)|Sarada}}''—the latter two are collectively known as fan-throated lizards. Its robotic look might also be a reference to how futuristic cultures are often depicted with the overuse of machines and robots, as opposed to Koraidon's traditional look. Some elements of its design may be based on parts of various {{wp|motor vehicle|motorized vehicle}}s (such as a {{wp|sport bike}} and other super bikes designed with maneuverability in mind for city streets and highways), with its {{wp|Casque (anatomy)|casque}} resembling a motorcycle windshield, its shoulders being similar to handlebars, its rear looking like the backrest of a vehicle seat, its throat and tail resembling wheels when active, and its legs resembling {{wp|jet engine|jet engines}} or {{wp|exhaust pipes}}. Miraidon's ability to rearrange itself when changing between forms may be inspired by {{wp|transforming robots}}. Miraidon's color scheme, along with the name of the game it debuts in, possibly stemmed from violet being on the opposite side of the visible spectrum of light from red (a prominent color associated with Pokémon Scarlet and Koraidon) as well as violet occasionally being associated with space (which is often considered the "final frontier", tying to Miraidon's hypothetical future motifs). Building on to this, it could be based on the concept of {{wp|Redshift#Blueshift|blueshifting}}, which is the phenomenon of things that move towards the observer (i.e things that are yet to come, in the future) appear blueish in color, which would make Miraidon a blueshifted version of the green Cyclizar.<br />
<br />
Given its serpentine body and its {{t|Electric}} [[type]], it may take inspiration from {{wp|Sugaar}} in {{wp|Basque mythology}}. Originally venerated as the god of storms and thunder in pre-Christian Basque beliefs, Sugaar takes the form of a serpent and embodies lightning.<br />
<br />
Additionally, due to its color scheme, its status as a [[Paradox Pokémon]], and it being the mascot of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]], it could be based on Ultraviolet, a color that exists beyond the human visible light spectrum. It can't be seen, but it's still there, much like the confusing and contradictory origins of the Paradox Pokémon.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Miraidon may be a combination of 未来 ''mirai'' (future), ライド ''raido'' (ride), and ''dragon'', ''don'' (Spanish for "lord"), or ''{{wp|wiktionary:-don|-don}}'' (common suffix in taxonomic names of prehistoric animals derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).<br />
<br />
Miraidon's name may have been intentionally designed to sound phonetically like ''me ride on'', referencing how the player rides around the Paldea region on it.<br />
<br />
Its alternate name, Iron Serpent, is literally ''iron serpent''.<br />
<br />
Tetsuno'orochi, its alternate name in Japanese, can be taken literally as 鉄の大蛇 ''tetsu no orochi'' (iron serpent).<br />
<br />
In the [[Area Zero journals]], [[Professor Turo]] mentions having named Miraidon. Due to a {{wp|bootstrap paradox}} involving a version of Professor Turo [[time travel]]ing from the past, it is possible that the player in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] may be responsible for indirectly coining Miraidon's name.<br />

'''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]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has three main [[#Form data|forms]]: '''10% Forme''', '''50% Forme''', and '''Complete Forme'''. Zygarde, exclusively in its Complete Forme, can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Zygarde''' using the [[Zygardite]]. All forms of Zygarde are composed of '''[[Zygarde Core]]s''' and '''[[Zygarde Cell]]s'''.<br />
<br />
Zygarde can switch between its 10% and 50% Formes at the [[Reassembly Unit]] or with the [[Zygarde Cube]]. If its [[Ability]] is {{a|Power Construct}} and its [[HP]] drops below half, then Zygarde in either form will change into its Complete Forme. <small>(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data&rarr;Form data]] for these details.)</small><br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}, having no name originally. Zygarde 10% Forme and Zygarde Complete Forme, as well as the Zygarde Cells and Zygarde Cores, were revealed in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine and later introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Mega Zygarde was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
{{ga|Zygarde}} plays a [[Game mascot|central role]] in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, serving as one of the game's key figures. A [[Squishy|Zygarde Core]] plays an important role in the ''[[S19|XY&Z]]'' arc of {{aniseries|XY}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
Zygarde is a green and black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} composed of smaller units known as [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s, who collectively define its appearance and power by assembling in different percentages. In all of Zygarde's forms, the various Cores and Cells are represented as green and black hexagons that glow when it attacks. It has also been shown to be able to fly in all of its forms.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the guardian of the [[Pokémon world]]'s ecosystem, firmly believing that it has a duty to protect it,<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: ''"It is said this [[Legendary Pokémon]] is a guardian of the ecosystem."''</ref><ref name="50%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20171003202529mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ archived])</ref><ref name="50%ZA">[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde50 Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> and is responsible for monitoring it for abnormalities from caves such as [[Kalos]]'s [[Terminus Cave]] and [[Alola]]'s [[Resolution Cave]]. It is described as a being that seeks to correct excess, find moderation, and restore balance. Zygarde can {{a|Aura Break|reverse}} the effects of {{p|Xerneas}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{p|Yveltal}}'s {{a|Dark Aura}}, thus ensuring the equilibrium of the cycle of life and death are kept in check.<ref>''"[[Kalos]]ian Legends: {{p|Xerneas}}, the Life Pokémon, and {{p|Yveltal}}, the Destruction Pokémon, both hail from the beautiful Kalos [[region]]. While they stand in opposition, the Order Pokémon Zygarde is said to help keep the ecosystem in equilibrium."'' - ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]]'', page 282</ref> Normally, it avoids getting involved in conflicts unless the ecosystem is in grave danger.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon! | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> It is also known to ask for [[human]]s to assist it in protecting the ecosystem when necessary, but can still be wary of those it does not trust. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Z". In the animated series, a Zygarde Core and two Zygarde in their 50% Forme have had the green coloration on their bodies changed to red as a result of the influence of [[Team Flare]]'s [[Mega Evolution]] energy weapon; moreover, all of their formes were depicted as capable of [[Talking Pokémon|human speech]] via telepathy.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]]s {{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}}.<br />
<br />
===Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells===<br />
Physically, a [[Zygarde Core]] and a [[Zygarde Cell]] are almost identical. Both are small, green, cell-like blobs that resemble a {{wp|planarian}}. Their bodies are gelatinous, semitranslucent, and can be segmented into three sections: a large, round head, an abdomen with a colored hexagon, and a stubby tail. They have two eyes, though one is larger and has a pupil, and can stand on their tail (a trait most associated with the Core). The difference between a Core and a Cell is subtle: Cores have a black pupil and a red hexagon embedded inside their abdomen, while these are both green on Cells.<br />
<br />
On their own, neither Cores nor Cells have the power to battle, needing to assemble in order to take action. The Cells exist in far greater numbers than the Cores, therefore making up the majority of any given form of Zygarde. However, they lack wills of their own and can only act in accordance to the orders of a Core. The Cores act as Zygarde's brains,<ref name=CoresCells>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ Zygarde's Cores and Cells | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160814031551/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ archived])</ref> and there can be up to five of them. It can also use its Cells for [[move|attacks]], such as raining them down like {{m|Thousand Arrows|arrows}} or scattering them throughout the ground in {{m|Thousand Waves|waves}} before they're recalled into its body. When Zygarde exhausts all of its power, it splits back into individual Cores and Cells and scatters all over the world, reaching even far-off lands. While in this state, they absorb the native power of said lands and may request assistance from [[human]]s in order to reassemble.<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"When Zygarde used up its strength protecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from the light of [[ultimate weapon]]... its parts scattered to far-off places, absorbing the power of those lands and seeking [[human]]s who would give it aid."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> As seen in various media, Zygarde Cells demonstrate some form of will of their own and are capable of moving independently, without a Zygarde Core commanding them.<br />

<br />
===Forms===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme, which are composed of Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells. Zygarde Complete Forme can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde.<br />

====10% Forme====<br />
[[File:Zygarde 10 Percent SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Concept art of Zygarde's 10% Forme]]<br />
Zygarde 10% Forme is a relatively small {{wp|Canis|canine}} Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, though its neck, muzzle, mouth, eyebrows, and left front paw are green. Additionally, it has two green hexagons on its chest and a single one on its rear. From its neck, a green ribbon-like extension comes out, next to an elongated red hexagon, giving the impression of a leash and dog tag, respectively. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils, and there is a thin white line on its forehead. Its mouth is fitted with razor-sharp fangs. On each of its legs are black 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.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme is assumed in cases of emergency, created when it calls and gathers a tenth of its Cells across the land when it needs to fight. Because only a single Core serves as its brain, it cannot maintain this form indefinitely, and it will eventually fall apart. Nonethless, it is skilled at close range combat, overwhelming and quickly defeating its opponents by leaping at their chests and sinking its fangs into them. It is also capable of running at speeds greater than 60 mph (100 km/h).<ref name="10%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143708/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde10 Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Concept art of Zygarde 10% Forme shows that it can wrap its "leash" around the arm of someone it trusts.<br />
{{left clear}}<br />
<br />
====50% Forme====<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme is a large {{wp|Snake|serpentine}} Pokémon. 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 several small, green hexagons on its body that occasionally glow white.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 50% Forme is the result of half of its Cells and up to 3 Cores reuniting, and is considered its main form. Its power is capable of overwhelming anyone who stands in its way, but it is only at half of its full potential, and an equal amount of power waits to be assembled out in the world. There are rumors that an even greater power lies hidden within it, as it is capable of {{a|Power Construct|changing}} to a more powerful form when battling those who threaten the ecosystem.<ref name="10%SunMoon"/><ref name="50%ZA"/><ref name="50%SunMoon"/> The 50% Forme is known to be both ruthless and merciless to its foes. Its frill can be shown vibrating as it attacks. As seen in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Zygarde 50% Forme can summon and control massive roots for attacks and covering areas.<br />
<br />
====Complete Forme====<br />
Zygarde Complete Form is a large, humanoid Pokémon. 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 mouth that when opened, reveals five hexagons colored red, orange, white, cyan, and blue, respectively. It has a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's.<br />
<br />
The Complete Forme is Zygarde's perfected state, created when 100% of its Cells and Cores are gathered. In this form, Zygarde can fight at full power and complete its duty of protecting the ecosystem by suppressing those who willingly endanger it. Zygarde Complete Forme contains 5 Cores, one for each of its wings and its tail. Despite all of them being in a single body, each Core can make decisions and act independently of the others. The orifice on its chest can radiate enough high-powered energy to destroy everything around it. Zygarde Complete Forme can freely change the shapes of the four wings and tail for a variety of roles.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160715204745/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde-complete Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Notably, the tip of its wings can form snake-like heads that can be used to attack with energy beams, propel itself, and restore an unbalanced ecosystem back to normal, as seen in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. It has also been shown to form a green, protective barrier to shield itself and its allies. The Complete Forme is only used to neutralize huge threats to the ecosystem, such as [[Lysandre]]'s [[Giant Rock]], the [[Laquium|Laquium Core]], the [[ultimate weapon]], [[Ultra Burst|Ultra]] {{Adv|Necrozma}}, and {{DL|Ange|Hyperrogue Ange Floette}}. It is powerful enough to overwhelm even {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />

<br />
====Mega Zygarde====<br />
Overall, Mega Zygarde retains most of Zygarde Complete Forme's humanoid structure, but the Cells composing its body have been strategically relocated. Notably, it has lost most, if not all, of the hexagons composing Zygarde Complete Forme's lower body, arms, and wings, exposing its light green body. As a result of this, Mega Zygarde has completely lost its wings, having seemingly replaced them with six smaller arm-like structures. On its legs, only the three hexagons on each knee remain, though they changed from symmetrical white and green to asymmetrical black and white. The lower part of Zygarde Complete Forme's chest, starting from the multicolored mouth, has also opened, giving the impression it has ripped into strands of black hexagons similar to tree roots. The green, eye-like patterns on its chest now have each a differently colored hexagon on them (one red, one blue). Underneath the chest plate, a series of five white hexagons cover the true body. White, chain-like hexagonal patterns run down Mega Zygarde's uncovered torso, arms, and legs, as well as on its back and under its feet. Its arms don't end in hands, but split into three hexagonal digits. Mega Zygarde's headpiece and tail remain mostly unchanged from its base form, only having lost the green hexagons on its face and having more of those on its tail. Its crown is lit up by a green flame, and its eyes are green as well.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is said to be born as a result of people's emotions during an unprecedented crisis, allowing it to calm the situation with its unmatched power. Its defining feature is the giant cannon held above Mega Zygarde's head by its six smaller arms. The cannon has a cylindrical shape, somewhat resembling a tree trunk, decorated with several shapes and lines similar to Zygarde 10% Forme's leash. The cannon is mostly black, with dark blue and dark red patches circling its length. At the cannon's muzzle, there is a pink symbol resembling a cross between an "X" and a "Y" surrounded by red, blue, and pink lines. Its interior features a circle, three hexagons, and a central circle, while its back has a dark green hexagon at the center. When Mega Zygarde attacks with its cannon, the muzzle pattern shines in the shape of an "X", "Y", and "Z" before opening up, unleashing a {{m|Nihil Light|beam of light that defies nature itself}}, which has been likened to the [[Z-Move]]s found in the [[Alola]] [[region]].<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"And now that I think of it... The moves that Zygarde used when it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]—they reminded me of [[Z-Moves]], like those used in the [[Alola]] region."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> This attack was powerful enough to overpower Hyperrogue Ange Floette's powered-up {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which threatened to annihilate all of [[Lumiose City]], as well as to break through the [[Laquium]] Core's defenses and heavily damage it, as seen in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]''. Mega Zygarde has been referred to as "Lumiose's Guardian"<ref>[[Research Task (HOME)|Kalos Region Tasks]]</ref> due to it saving Lumiose City from Hyperrogue Ange Floette.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is the only known Pokémon capable of using the move {{m|Nihil Light}}, an upgraded version of Core Enforcer.<br />

===Form data===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s appear in the story in some games, but they are not catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and are not included in the [[Pokédex]]; they make up Zygarde's forms and are not forms themselves.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde's only form is its 50% Forme, which was unnamed at the time. The 10% Forme and Complete Forme were introduced to the games in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. It can switch between its 10% Forme and 50% Forme using the [[Reassembly Unit]] or the [[Zygarde Cube]], and can enter its Complete Forme in {{pkmn|battle}} if it has {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme and 50% Forme can have {{a|Aura Break}} or Power Construct as their [[Ability]]. Internally, Zygarde's Ability difference is itself a separate form. This makes it impossible to change Zygarde's Ability with [[Ability Capsule]]s or [[Ability Patch]]es; the Reassembly Unit or the Zygarde Cube must be used instead.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Aura Break}}<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde can only have {{a|Aura Break}} as an [[Ability]] and has no other forms.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VII]], a Zygarde with Aura Break can be transformed by the [[Reassembly Unit]]. This machine can create a 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break or change a 10% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break to a 50% Forme Zygarde. It can also change either to a 50% Forme Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}<br />
The [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change form" function ("Change Forme" in Generation VII) 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.<br />
<br />
Any Zygarde with Power Construct will change to Complete Forme in battle if its [[HP]] drops below half. When the battle ends, it returns to its original form with the same HP it ended the battle with (within its original form's maximum HP).<br />
<br />
Zygarde has a unique form change animation when changing to its Complete Forme, which shows Zygarde Cells (represented by green hexagons) gathering to change its form.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], due to the lack of Abilities, the distinction between Zygarde with Aura Break and Zygarde with Power Construct does not exist. Instead, any 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde will change into Complete Forme when its HP is reduced to half or less, increasing its maximum HP and gaining current HP equal to the amount of maximum HP gained. If Zygarde's HP is reduced below the threshold while it is using a [[move]], it will transform when the move finishes. Zygarde is invulnerable while changing into Complete Forme. It will change back to its previous form if it is recalled while out of battle, retaining the HP it had at that time; if this is above the maximum HP of its original form, its HP will become equal to its maximum HP.<br />

Zygarde's [[base stats]] differ between its three forms. Additionally, it can only [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] when it is in its Complete Forme. If it knows the move {{m|Core Enforcer}} when it Mega Evolves, the move will be replaced with {{m|Nihil Light}} until the Mega Evolution ends.<br />

===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Zygarde (Adventures)}}<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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 arc, 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]] alongside {{adv|Solgaleo}} and {{DL|Nebby|Pokémon Adventures|Lunala}}.<br />

<br />
===Origin===<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance may be 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 {{t|Ground}} type ("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 {{wp|yokai}}, often described as being snake-like. The "crown" behind it makes it resemble depictions of {{wp|Shesha}}.<br />
<br />
According to model sheet of Zygarde Complete Forme for {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it may also form a stylized letter Z when it lifts its cape over its head to attack. This forme of Zygarde 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 depicting [[List of Pokémon by Coastal Kalos Pokédex number|Coastal Kalos]], red on the right depicting [[List of Pokémon by Mountain Kalos Pokédex number|Mountain Kalos]], and white in the middle depicting [[List of Pokémon by Central Kalos Pokédex number|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.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde's cannon might be based on either a railgun or a laser cannon. As Mega Zygarde is styled after its Complete Forme, it may also resemble a stylized Z and a mech, with its cannon posed where the "head" of the Z is placed. Similarly, many of its hexagonal patterns are also blue and red, representative of Xerneas and Yveltal, justified the X, Y and Z markings on the front of its cannon.<br />
<br />
[[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s may be based on cells or other single-celled organisms, such as {{wp|slime mold}}s and members of ''{{wp|Euglena}}'', as well as {{wp|flatworm}}s (specifically {{wp|planarian}}). The hexagons within them may represent a {{wp|cell nucleus}}. The concept of the different forms of Zygarde being composed of smaller individuals useless by themselves may be based off {{wp|Colony (biology|colonial organisms}}. Zygarde's themes of the ecological balance of life may be thematically inspired by {{wp|zygote}}s, a type of cell that forms first development stage of an animal's life span. Zygarde's [[Form|forme change]] from its snake-like appearance in 50% Forme into its human-like Complete Forme may be inspired by {{wp|nāga}}, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures that may feature human-like qualities.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
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 ''{{wp|zygote}}'', ''garde'' (French for "guard"), and ''garðr'' (Old Norse for enclosure; realm).<br />

'''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]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has three main [[#Form data|forms]]: '''10% Forme''', '''50% Forme''', and '''Complete Forme'''. Zygarde, exclusively in its Complete Forme, can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Zygarde''' using the [[Zygardite]]. All forms of Zygarde are composed of '''[[Zygarde Core]]s''' and '''[[Zygarde Cell]]s'''.<br />
<br />
Zygarde can switch between its 10% and 50% Formes at the [[Reassembly Unit]] or with the [[Zygarde Cube]]. If its [[Ability]] is {{a|Power Construct}} and its [[HP]] drops below half, then Zygarde in either form will change into its Complete Forme. <small>(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data&rarr;Form data]] for these details.)</small><br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}, having no name originally. Zygarde 10% Forme and Zygarde Complete Forme, as well as the Zygarde Cells and Zygarde Cores, were revealed in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine and later introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Mega Zygarde was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
{{ga|Zygarde}} plays a [[Game mascot|central role]] in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, serving as one of the game's key figures. A [[Squishy|Zygarde Core]] plays an important role in the ''[[S19|XY&Z]]'' arc of {{aniseries|XY}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
Zygarde is a green and black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} composed of smaller units known as [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s, who collectively define its appearance and power by assembling in different percentages. In all of Zygarde's forms, the various Cores and Cells are represented as green and black hexagons that glow when it attacks. It has also been shown to be able to fly in all of its forms.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the guardian of the [[Pokémon world]]'s ecosystem, firmly believing that it has a duty to protect it,<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: ''"It is said this [[Legendary Pokémon]] is a guardian of the ecosystem."''</ref><ref name="50%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20171003202529mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ archived])</ref><ref name="50%ZA">[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde50 Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> and is responsible for monitoring it for abnormalities from caves such as [[Kalos]]'s [[Terminus Cave]] and [[Alola]]'s [[Resolution Cave]]. It is described as a being that seeks to correct excess, find moderation, and restore balance. Zygarde can {{a|Aura Break|reverse}} the effects of {{p|Xerneas}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{p|Yveltal}}'s {{a|Dark Aura}}, thus ensuring the equilibrium of the cycle of life and death are kept in check.<ref>''"[[Kalos]]ian Legends: {{p|Xerneas}}, the Life Pokémon, and {{p|Yveltal}}, the Destruction Pokémon, both hail from the beautiful Kalos [[region]]. While they stand in opposition, the Order Pokémon Zygarde is said to help keep the ecosystem in equilibrium."'' - ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]]'', page 282</ref> Normally, it avoids getting involved in conflicts unless the ecosystem is in grave danger.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon! | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> It is also known to ask for [[human]]s to assist it in protecting the ecosystem when necessary, but can still be wary of those it does not trust. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Z". In the animated series, a Zygarde Core and two Zygarde in their 50% Forme have had the green coloration on their bodies changed to red as a result of the influence of [[Team Flare]]'s [[Mega Evolution]] energy weapon; moreover, all of their formes were depicted as capable of [[Talking Pokémon|human speech]] via telepathy.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]]s {{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}}.<br />
<br />
===Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells===<br />
Physically, a [[Zygarde Core]] and a [[Zygarde Cell]] are almost identical. Both are small, green, cell-like blobs that resemble a {{wp|planarian}}. Their bodies are gelatinous, semitranslucent, and can be segmented into three sections: a large, round head, an abdomen with a colored hexagon, and a stubby tail. They have two eyes, though one is larger and has a pupil, and can stand on their tail (a trait most associated with the Core). The difference between a Core and a Cell is subtle: Cores have a black pupil and a red hexagon embedded inside their abdomen, while these are both green on Cells.<br />
<br />
On their own, neither Cores nor Cells have the power to battle, needing to assemble in order to take action. The Cells exist in far greater numbers than the Cores, therefore making up the majority of any given form of Zygarde. However, they lack wills of their own and can only act in accordance to the orders of a Core. The Cores act as Zygarde's brains,<ref name=CoresCells>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ Zygarde's Cores and Cells | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160814031551/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ archived])</ref> and there can be up to five of them. It can also use its Cells for [[move|attacks]], such as raining them down like {{m|Thousand Arrows|arrows}} or scattering them throughout the ground in {{m|Thousand Waves|waves}} before they're recalled into its body. When Zygarde exhausts all of its power, it splits back into individual Cores and Cells and scatters all over the world, reaching even far-off lands. While in this state, they absorb the native power of said lands and may request assistance from [[human]]s in order to reassemble.<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"When Zygarde used up its strength protecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from the light of [[ultimate weapon]]... its parts scattered to far-off places, absorbing the power of those lands and seeking [[human]]s who would give it aid."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> As seen in various media, Zygarde Cells demonstrate some form of will of their own and are capable of moving independently, without a Zygarde Core commanding them.<br />

<br />
===Forms===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme, which are composed of Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells. Zygarde Complete Forme can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde.<br />

====10% Forme====<br />
[[File:Zygarde 10 Percent SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Concept art of Zygarde's 10% Forme]]<br />
Zygarde 10% Forme is a relatively small {{wp|Canis|canine}} Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, though its neck, muzzle, mouth, eyebrows, and left front paw are green. Additionally, it has two green hexagons on its chest and a single one on its rear. From its neck, a green ribbon-like extension comes out, next to an elongated red hexagon, giving the impression of a leash and dog tag, respectively. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils, and there is a thin white line on its forehead. Its mouth is fitted with razor-sharp fangs. On each of its legs are black 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.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme is assumed in cases of emergency, created when it calls and gathers a tenth of its Cells across the land when it needs to fight. Because only a single Core serves as its brain, it cannot maintain this form indefinitely, and it will eventually fall apart. Nonethless, it is skilled at close range combat, overwhelming and quickly defeating its opponents by leaping at their chests and sinking its fangs into them. It is also capable of running at speeds greater than 60 mph (100 km/h).<ref name="10%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143708/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde10 Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Concept art of Zygarde 10% Forme shows that it can wrap its "leash" around the arm of someone it trusts.<br />
{{left clear}}<br />
<br />
====50% Forme====<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme is a large {{wp|Snake|serpentine}} Pokémon. 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 several small, green hexagons on its body that occasionally glow white.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 50% Forme is the result of half of its Cells and up to 3 Cores reuniting, and is considered its main form. Its power is capable of overwhelming anyone who stands in its way, but it is only at half of its full potential, and an equal amount of power waits to be assembled out in the world. There are rumors that an even greater power lies hidden within it, as it is capable of {{a|Power Construct|changing}} to a more powerful form when battling those who threaten the ecosystem.<ref name="10%SunMoon"/><ref name="50%ZA"/><ref name="50%SunMoon"/> The 50% Forme is known to be both ruthless and merciless to its foes. Its frill can be shown vibrating as it attacks. As seen in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Zygarde 50% Forme can summon and control massive roots for attacks and covering areas.<br />
<br />
====Complete Forme====<br />
Zygarde Complete Form is a large, humanoid Pokémon. 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 mouth that when opened, reveals five hexagons colored red, orange, white, cyan, and blue, respectively. It has a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's.<br />
<br />
Zygarde Complete Forme is Zygarde's perfected state, created when 100% of its Cells and Cores are gathered. In this form, Zygarde can fight at full power and complete its duty of protecting the ecosystem by suppressing those who willingly endanger it. Zygarde Complete Forme contains 5 Cores, one for each of its wings and its tail. Despite all of them being in a single body, each Core can make decisions and act independently of the others. The orifice on its chest can radiate enough high-powered energy to destroy everything around it. Zygarde Complete Forme can freely change the shapes of the four wings and tail for a variety of roles.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160715204745/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde-complete Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Notably, the tip of its wings can form snake-like heads that can be used to attack with energy beams, propel itself, and restore an unbalanced ecosystem back to normal, as seen in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. It has also been shown to form a green, protective barrier to shield itself and its allies. The Complete Forme is only used to neutralize huge threats to the ecosystem, such as [[Lysandre]]'s [[Giant Rock]], the [[Laquium|Laquium Core]], the [[ultimate weapon]], [[Ultra Burst|Ultra]] {{Adv|Necrozma}}, and {{DL|Ange|Hyperrogue Ange Floette}}. It is powerful enough to overwhelm even {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />

====Mega Zygarde====<br />
Overall, Mega Zygarde retains most of Zygarde Complete Forme's humanoid structure, but the Cells composing its body have been strategically relocated. Notably, it has lost most, if not all, of the hexagons composing Zygarde Complete Forme's lower body, arms, and wings, exposing its light green body. As a result of this, Mega Zygarde has completely lost its wings, having seemingly replaced them with six smaller arm-like structures. On its legs, only the three hexagons on each knee remain, though they changed from symmetrical white and green to asymmetrical black and white. The lower part of Zygarde Complete Forme's chest, starting from the multicolored mouth, has also opened, giving the impression it has ripped into strands of black hexagons similar to tree roots. The green, eye-like patterns on its chest now have each a differently colored hexagon on them (one red, one blue). Underneath the chest plate, a series of five white hexagons cover the true body. White, chain-like hexagonal patterns run down Mega Zygarde's uncovered torso, arms, and legs, as well as on its back and under its feet. Its arms don't end in hands, but split into three hexagonal digits. Mega Zygarde's headpiece and tail remain mostly unchanged from its base form, only having lost the green hexagons on its face and having more of those on its tail. Its crown is lit up by a green flame, and its eyes are green as well.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is said to be born as a result of people's emotions during an unprecedented crisis, allowing it to calm the situation with its unmatched power. Its defining feature is the giant cannon held above Mega Zygarde's head by its six smaller arms. The cannon has a cylindrical shape, somewhat resembling a tree trunk, decorated with several shapes and lines similar to Zygarde 10% Forme's leash. The cannon is mostly black, with dark blue and dark red patches circling its length. At the cannon's muzzle, there is a pink symbol resembling a cross between an "X" and a "Y" surrounded by red, blue, and pink lines. Its interior features a circle, three hexagons, and a central circle, while its back has a dark green hexagon at the center. When Mega Zygarde attacks with its cannon, the muzzle pattern shines in the shape of an "X", "Y", and "Z" before opening up, unleashing a {{m|Nihil Light|beam of light that defies nature itself}}, which has been likened to the [[Z-Move]]s found in the [[Alola]] [[region]].<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"And now that I think of it... The moves that Zygarde used when it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]—they reminded me of [[Z-Moves]], like those used in the [[Alola]] region."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> This attack was powerful enough to overpower Hyperrogue Ange Floette's powered-up {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which threatened to annihilate all of [[Lumiose City]], as well as to break through the [[Laquium]] Core's defenses and heavily damage it, as seen in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]''. Mega Zygarde has been referred to as "Lumiose's Guardian"<ref>[[Research Task (HOME)|Kalos Region Tasks]]</ref> due to it saving Lumiose City from Hyperrogue Ange Floette.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is the only known Pokémon capable of using the move {{m|Nihil Light}}, an upgraded version of Core Enforcer.<br />

===Form data===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s appear in the story in some games, but they are not catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and are not included in the [[Pokédex]]; they make up Zygarde's forms and are not forms themselves.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde's only form is its 50% Forme, which was unnamed at the time. The 10% Forme and Complete Forme were introduced to the games in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. It can switch between its 10% Forme and 50% Forme using the [[Reassembly Unit]] or the [[Zygarde Cube]], and can enter its Complete Forme in {{pkmn|battle}} if it has {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme and 50% Forme can have {{a|Aura Break}} or Power Construct as their [[Ability]]. Internally, Zygarde's Ability difference is itself a separate form. This makes it impossible to change Zygarde's Ability with [[Ability Capsule]]s or [[Ability Patch]]es; the Reassembly Unit or the Zygarde Cube must be used instead.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Aura Break}}<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde can only have {{a|Aura Break}} as an [[Ability]] and has no other forms.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VII]], a Zygarde with Aura Break can be transformed by the [[Reassembly Unit]]. This machine can create a 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break or change a 10% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break to a 50% Forme Zygarde. It can also change either to a 50% Forme Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}<br />
The [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change form" function ("Change Forme" in Generation VII) 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.<br />
<br />
Any Zygarde with Power Construct will change to Complete Forme in battle if its [[HP]] drops below half. When the battle ends, it returns to its original form with the same HP it ended the battle with (within its original form's maximum HP).<br />
<br />
Zygarde has a unique form change animation when changing to its Complete Forme, which shows Zygarde Cells (represented by green hexagons) gathering to change its form.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], due to the lack of Abilities, the distinction between Zygarde with Aura Break and Zygarde with Power Construct does not exist. Instead, any 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde will change into Complete Forme when its HP is reduced to half or less, increasing its maximum HP and gaining current HP equal to the amount of maximum HP gained. If Zygarde's HP is reduced below the threshold while it is using a [[move]], it will transform when the move finishes. Zygarde is invulnerable while changing into Complete Forme. It will change back to its previous form if it is recalled while out of battle, retaining the HP it had at that time; if this is above the maximum HP of its original form, its HP will become equal to its maximum HP.<br />

<br />
Zygarde's [[base stats]] differ between its three forms. Additionally, it can only [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] when it is in its Complete Forme. If it knows the move {{m|Core Enforcer}} when it Mega Evolves, the move will be replaced with {{m|Nihil Light}} until the Mega Evolution ends.<br />

[[File:Z2 50 Percent Forme.png|thumb|250px|Zygarde 50% Forme in {{aniseries|XY}}]]<br />
===Main series===<br />
====Major appearances====<br />
Zygarde is a major target of [[Team Flare]] in {{aniseries|XY}}. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core|Cores]] debuted in ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]''.<br />
<br />
=====[[Squishy]]=====<br />
With the help of [[Mairin]]'s {{p|Chespin}}, [[Chespie]], a Zygarde 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}}. In ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', Squishy transformed into its 10% and 50% Formes to defend itself against [[Bryony]] and her subordinates, thus marking the debut of 10% Forme. In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', when [[Alva]] used his laser weapon onto the [[Nebel Plateau]], it transformed into its Complete Forme to protect it, thus marking the form's debut. Squishy is known by the code name '''Z1''' by Team Flare.<br />
<br />
=====[[Z2]]=====<br />
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]]. It was captured by Team Flare and corrupted by their [[Mega Evolution]] weapon to help them clean the planet of humans. Unlike Squishy's red core, Z2 has a blue core.<br />

In ''[[HZ134|One Step Closer]]'', it assumed its Complete Forme after reuniting with the Cells left in Laqua. It is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]. It was released in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]'' to heal Laqua back to its original state.<br />

{{main|Zygarde (Adventures)}}<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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 arc, 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]] alongside {{adv|Solgaleo}} and {{DL|Nebby|Pokémon Adventures|Lunala}}.<br />

<br />
===Origin===<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance may be 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 {{t|Ground}} type ("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 {{wp|yokai}}, often described as being snake-like. The "crown" behind it makes it resemble depictions of {{wp|Shesha}}.<br />
<br />
According to model sheet of Zygarde Complete Forme for {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it may also form a stylized letter Z when it lifts its cape over its head to attack. This forme of Zygarde 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 depicting [[List of Pokémon by Coastal Kalos Pokédex number|Coastal Kalos]], red on the right depicting [[List of Pokémon by Mountain Kalos Pokédex number|Mountain Kalos]], and white in the middle depicting [[List of Pokémon by Central Kalos Pokédex number|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.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde's cannon might be based on either a railgun or a laser cannon. As Mega Zygarde is styled after its Complete Forme, it may also resemble a stylized Z and a mech, with its cannon posed where the "head" of the Z is placed. Similarly, many of its hexagonal patterns are also blue and red, representative of Xerneas and Yveltal, justified the X, Y and Z markings on the front of its cannon.<br />
<br />
[[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s may be based on cells or other single-celled organisms, such as {{wp|slime mold}}s and members of ''{{wp|Euglena}}'', as well as {{wp|flatworm}}s (specifically {{wp|planarian}}). The hexagons within them may represent a {{wp|cell nucleus}}. The concept of the different forms of Zygarde being composed of smaller individuals useless by themselves may be based off {{wp|Colony (biology|colonial organisms}}. Zygarde's themes of the ecological balance of life may be thematically inspired by {{wp|zygote}}s, a type of cell that forms first development stage of an animal's life span. Zygarde's [[Form|forme change]] from its snake-like appearance in 50% Forme into its human-like Complete Forme may be inspired by {{wp|nāga}}, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures that may feature human-like qualities.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
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 ''{{wp|zygote}}'', ''garde'' (French for "guard"), and ''garðr'' (Old Norse for enclosure; realm).<br />

'''Quagsire''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌオー''' ''Nuoh'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Wooper}} starting at [[level]] 20. Its [[Paldea]]n counterpart is {{p|Clodsire}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
Quagsire is a light blue, bipedal, {{wp|amphibian|amphibious}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its head is broad and round, having little neck to distinguish it from the rest of its body. It has a wide mouth, two small nostrils, and tiny, black eyes.A wavy, purple stripe runs down its back. Along its spine is a dark blue fin, which is larger on the male than on the female. It has a round, thick oblong tail attached to its backside, on which the fin continues to the tip of. Quagsire has very short arms that are largely occupied by its hands. Its hands and feet both have three digits, which are thick and rounded at the tips. Its body is bottom-heavy, resulting in no space for legs between its feet and lower body. Its outer layer of skin is slimy and slippery. Quagsire shares many similarities with its [[Paldea]]n relative, {{p|Clodsire}}.<br />
<br />
Quagsire is carefree and sluggish by nature, although it is protective towards {{p|Wooper}}. An unintelligent Pokémon, it tends to bump its head inadvertently while swimming and seems not to care. It hunts for food by leaving its mouth wide open in water and waiting for its unaware prey to blunder in. Because Quagsire does not move, it does not get very hungry and can afford to wait for its food. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Quagsire leaves its mouth open even as it sleeps. It is said seeing a Quagsire asleep with its mouth wide open is a sign it’s possbily waiting for prey, while it dreams. Quagsire lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|clean bodies of freshwater}}, as well as muddy swamps. During the day, Quagsire avoids sunlight by submerging itself in the water. In the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP127|Once in a Blue Moon]]'', wild Quagsire are shown to have an annual celebration at [[Blue Moon Falls]] when the moon is full. There, they attempt to shoot round objects they have collected to the top of a waterfall with their attack, to see who can launch their objects the highest, with the apparent target being the moon.<br />
<br />
===Evolution===<br />
Quagsire evolves from {{p|Wooper}}.<br />

===NPC appearances===<br />
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}}: Quagsire appears as the landlord of [[Pokémon Paradise|Paradise]] as well as an important character in the storyline. The player's partner buys land from him at the beginning of the game that would become the headquarters for the player's exploration team. He also runs an area similar to the [[Chimecho Assembly]] from the previous games. Like some members of [[Wigglytuff's Guild]], he has a catchphrase, which is "hmm". He is also responsible for dealing with captured outlaws, much like {{p|Magnezone}} before him. He is known to be a hard taskmaster to these Pokémon. Quagsire reappears in {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}} where he is now a resident of [[Lively Town]].<br />

==In the TCG==<br />
{{main|Quagsire (TCG)}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
===Concept and development===<br />
[[File:Spr 2d 175.png|thumb|150px|right|Early design of Quagsire]]<br />
In the [[Spaceworld '97 demo]], Quagsire appears to be based on the Pokémon known as ''Mizūo'' (ミズウオ).<br />
<br />
According to Julien Bardakoff, the French translator of the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games, its French name was intended to be spelled and pronounced ''Maraisté'', with an acute accent on the final ''e''. Because French Pokémon names were displayed without diacritics on uppercase letters until [[Generation V]], players and the animated series instead treated the final ''e'' as silent. This pronunciation became standard, and the accent has not been restored despite French Pokémon names displaying diacritics properly since [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black and White]]. The only known instance of Bardakoff's intended pronunciation is by the commentator in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].<br />
<br />
===Merchandise===<br />
* Quagsire was featured as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card and stickers in the [[2024 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Quagsire appears to be based on a {{wp|giant salamander}}.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Quagsire may be a combination of ''{{wp|Mire|quagmire}}'' and the honorific ''sire'' or ''{{wp|Siren (genus)|Siren}}'' (a genus of salamander).<br />
<br />
Nuoh may be a combination of 沼 ''numa'' (swamp, marsh, pond, or lake) and 王 ''ō'' (king) or オオサンショウウオ ''ōsanshōuo'' ({{wp|Japanese giant salamander}}).<br />

'''Tatsugiri''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シャリタツ''' ''Syaritatsu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Tatsugiri has three [[#Form data|forms]]: '''Curly Form''', '''Droopy Form''', and '''Stretchy Form''', which can all [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Tatsugiri''' using the [[Tatsugirinite]]. Mega Tatsugiri was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.<br />
<br />
Tatsugiri interacts with {{p|Dondozo}} in [[Double Battle]]s via its [[signature Ability]], {{a|Commander}}, and Dondozo's [[signature move]], {{m|Order Up}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
Tatsugiri is a small, piscine, dragon Pokémon that comes in three forms, which all share the same base physiology: a cylindrical body sitting above a white throat sac that resembles a bed of rice when inflated, two large eyes, long pectoral fins, a wavy dorsal fin, and a split tail fin.<br />
<br />
Although small and relatively weak, Tatsugiri is an intelligent, thoroughly cunning Pokémon. It uses its sharp intellect to assess its chances of winning a battle, namely by feinging weakness or playing dead, and if it cannot win, it will flee. In order to overcome its vulnerability, Tatsugiri teams up with {{p|Dondozo}}, who takes it as its boss, following Tatsugiri's orders and providing it with protection and shelter in exchange for a greater chance of catching {{pkmn|predation|prey}}. When hunting, Tatsugiri plays dead or leans into its unsuspecting side to attract potential prey, mainly bird Pokémon, and then commands Dondozo to attack. The interaction between the two Pokémon is so beneficial that Tatsugiri will even clash among themselves in order to get to partner with a particular Dondozo. Tatsugiri's throat sac serves multiple purposes, allowing it to camouflage with its surroundings, and can be used to escape a predator's mouth if swallowed whole by inflating it.<br />
<br />
A {{pkmn2|giant}} Tatsugiri and a giant Dondozo that live at [[Paldea]]'s [[Casseroya Lake]], feeding on [[Spicy Herba Mystica]], are known as the [[Titan Pokémon|False Dragon Titan]].<br />
<br />
Tatsugiri is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Commander}} as an [[Ability]].<br />
<br />
===Forms===<br />
Tatsugiri has three forms: Curly Form, Droopy Form, and Stretchy Form. It is said that its forms are an adaptation to suit the preferences of its prey. All three of them can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Tatsugiri.<br />
<br />
====Curly Form====<br />
Curly Form Tatsugiri is mostly orange and often assumes an upcurled stance. It has splotches of dark orange on the upper side of its body and on the tips of its pectoral fins, as well as a white underbelly.<br />
<br />
====Droopy Form====<br />
Droopy Form Tatsugiri is mostly magenta and tends to droop on its throat sac. Its underbelly, dorsal fin, and the tips of its pectoral fins are white.<br />
<br />
====Stretchy Form====<br />
Stretchy Form Tatsugiri is a solid yellow. Unlike the other forms, its body sits straight and horizontally.<br />

|}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====Mega Tatsugiri====<br />
As a result of Mega Evolution, Mega Tatsugiri consists of three Tatsugiri, one of each form, riding upon a pink and blue dish shaped like the Mega Evolution symbol. The central Tatsugiri on the dish will always be the same form of the Tatsugiri that Mega Evolved and is distinguished by the roe-shaped crown on its head, while the other two are copies it created. Overall, the three Tatsugiri are left mostly unchanged, only becoming longer and their dorsal fins changing from a single wavy fin to a row of three. A row of green and blue spikes divide the central Tatsugiri from the copies; when Mega Tatsugiri attacks, the spikes can extend outward.<br />
<br />
Mega Tatsugiri's brain has been further enhanced by Mega Evolution, making it exceptionally clever. It can command its copies to assist it in battle and can also solidify the energy from Mega Evolution, enabling it to create its dish and generate an endless supply of exploding roe-shaped projectiles. By riding upon its dish, Mega Tatsugiri gains the freedom to move anywhere it desires, including through the air. <br />

* {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: Tatsugiri, known as the False Dragon Titan, is a minor character and a boss encounter in the games. It became a [[Titan Pokémon]] after consuming some [[Herba Mystica]].<br />
** The {{player}} and [[Arven]] eventually found it in [[Casseroya Lake]] to find the [[Spicy Herba Mystica|Herba Mystica it guards]], however, its partner, {{p|Dondozo}} swallowed and rescued it, fighting them in its place. After Dondozo's defeat, Tatsugiri finally reappeared, being defeated as well and being forced to flee. After both took the Herba Mystica, Tatsugiri became a normal-sized Pokémon once again. After this, it can be rematched in its original location, and will have the [[Mark|Titan Mark]] when captured.<br />

===Form data===<br />
Tatsugiri has three different non-interchangeable forms: Curly Form (which is orange), Droopy Form (which is magenta), and Stretchy Form (which is yellow), each with different colors, fin shapes, and patterns on their bodies. When {{p|Dondozo}} uses the move {{m|Order Up}} after Tatsugiri has entered its mouth using its [[Ability]] {{a|Commander}}, the [[stat]] boost that Dondozo gains is based on the Tatsugiri form in its mouth, with Curly Form increasing {{stat|Attack}}, Droopy Form increasing {{stat|Defense}}, and Stretchy Form increasing {{stat|Speed}}.<br />

<br />
===Concept and development===<br />
Tatsugiri and its {{Shiny}} forms were designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1634467575898710017 James Turner on Twitter]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1634470202250342402 James Turner on Twitter]</ref><br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Tatsugiri appears to be based on {{wp|sushi}}, specifically the ''{{wp|nigirizushi}}'' (a type of sushi pressed by hand, instead of rolled). Curly Form resembles a shrimp (''ebi'') nigiri, Droopy Form resembles a tuna (''maguro'') nigiri, and Stretchy Form resembles an egg (''tamago'') or a herring roe (''kazunoko'') nigiri. Likewise, {{Shiny}} Curly Form resembles an eel (''unagi'') nigiri, Shiny Droopy Form resembles a halibut (''hirame'') or a squid (''ika'') nigiri, and Shiny Stretchy Form resembles a salmon nigiri. Tatsugiri also somewhat resembles the {{wp|koi}} fish, which, like Tatsugiri, has many colored varieties.<br />
<br />
Tatsugiri's habit of entering Dondozo's mouth is a possible reference to {{wp|Mouthbrooder|mouthbrooding}}, a parenting style performed by many species of fish where the parent fish will keep their offspring safe by holding them inside their mouth. Tatsugiri's hunting methods may also be a reference to {{wp|fishing lure}}s and {{wp|fishing bait}}. Tatsugiri and Dondozo's synergy together seems to reference the common [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrainsAndBrawn "brains and brawn" team-up] trope in media, as Tatsugiri is physically weak but highly intelligent, and acts as the boss for the physically powerful but less intelligent Dondozo.<br />
<br />
Alternatively, this habit may also hint at Tatsugiri being partially inspired by parasitic isopods, such as the {{wp|Cymothoa exigua|tongue-eating louse}}, which attaches itself to the tongues of fish for sustenance. Its appearance may reference the parasitic isopod of the ''{{wp|Rocinela}}'' genus that went viral in Japan in 2021 [https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/creature-looks-like-salmon-sushi/ for resembling a ''nigirizushi''].<br />
<br />
Tatsugiri's Dragon type may be a reference to the East Asian cultural association of koi (and carp in general) with dragons. Curly Form's curved posture may also be a reference to {{wp|Shachihoko}}. Tatsugiri's {{wp|Sarcopterygii|lobed fins}} and its ability to walk on land may be inspired by {{wp|lungfish}}es and lungfish-like species like ''{{wp|Polypterus senegalus}}'', sometimes known as "dragonfish".<br />
<br />
Mega Tatsugiri resembles a 3-piece dish of ''nigirizushi'' served on a platter and separated with ''[[jwp:ハラン (植物)#人造バラン|baran]],'' a green plastic garnish resembling [[wp:Aspidistra elatior|cast-iron plant]] leaves which is commonly found in bento and sushi boxes. The "platter" also resembles the Mega Evolution symbol. The central Tatsugiri appears to have [[wp:Red_caviar|salmon roe]] on top of its head.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Tatsugiri may be a combination of 竜 ''tatsu'' (Japanese for dragon) and 握り寿司 ''{{wp|nigirizushi}}''.<br />
<br />
Syaritatsu may be a combination of シャリ ''shari'' (sushi rice) and 竜 ''tatsu''.<br />

'''Quagsire''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌオー''' ''Nuoh'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Wooper}} starting at [[level]] 20. Its [[Paldea]]n counterpart is {{p|Clodsire}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
Quagsire is a light blue, bipedal, {{wp|amphibian|amphibious}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its head is broad and round, having little neck to distinguish it from the rest of its body. It has a wide mouth, two small nostrils, and tiny, black eyes.A wavy, purple stripe runs down its back. Along its spine is a dark blue fin, which is larger on the male than on the female. It has a round, thick oblong tail attached to its backside, on which the fin continues to the tip of. Quagsire has very short arms that are largely occupied by its hands. Its hands and feet both have three digits, which are thick and rounded at the tips. Its body is bottom-heavy, resulting in no space for legs between its feet and lower body. Its outer layer of skin is slimy and slippery. Quagsire shares many similarities with its [[Paldea]]n relative, {{p|Clodsire}}.<br />
<br />
Quagsire is carefree and sluggish by nature, although it is protective towards {{p|Wooper}}. An unintelligent Pokémon, it tends to bump its head inadvertently while swimming and seems not to care. It hunts for food by leaving its mouth wide open in water and waiting for its unaware prey to blunder in. Because Quagsire does not move, it does not get very hungry and can afford to wait for its food. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Quagsire leaves its mouth open even as it sleeps. It is said seeing a Quagsire asleep with its mouth wide open is a sign it’s possbily waiting for prey, while it dreams. Quagsire lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|clean bodies of freshwater}}, as well as muddy swamps. During the day, Quagsire avoids sunlight by submerging itself in the water.<br />
<br />
In the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP127|Once in a Blue Moon]]'', wild Quagsire are shown to have an annual celebration at [[Blue Moon Falls]] when the moon is full. There they attempt to shoot round objects they have collected to the top of a waterfall with their attacks, to see who can launch their objects the highest, with the apparent target being the moon.<br />
<br />
===Evolution===<br />
Quagsire evolves from {{p|Wooper}}.<br />

===NPC appearances===<br />
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}}: Quagsire appears as the landlord of [[Pokémon Paradise|Paradise]] as well as an important character in the storyline. The player's partner buys land from him at the beginning of the game that would become the headquarters for the player's exploration team. He also runs an area similar to the [[Chimecho Assembly]] from the previous games. Like some members of [[Wigglytuff's Guild]], he has a catchphrase, which is "hmm". He is also responsible for dealing with captured outlaws, much like {{p|Magnezone}} before him. He is known to be a hard taskmaster to these Pokémon. Quagsire reappears in {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}} where he is now a resident of [[Lively Town]].<br />

==Trivia==<br />
===Concept and development===<br />
[[File:Spr 2d 175.png|thumb|150px|right|Early design of Quagsire]]<br />
In the [[Spaceworld '97 demo]], Quagsire appears to be based on the Pokémon known as ''Mizūo'' (ミズウオ).<br />
<br />
According to Julien Bardakoff, the French translator of the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games, its French name was intended to be spelled and pronounced ''Maraisté'', with an acute accent on the final ''e''. Because French Pokémon names were displayed without diacritics on uppercase letters until [[Generation V]], players and the animated series instead treated the final ''e'' as silent. This pronunciation became standard, and the accent has not been restored despite French Pokémon names displaying diacritics properly since [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black and White]]. The only known instance of Bardakoff's intended pronunciation is by the commentator in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].<br />
<br />
===Merchandise===<br />
* Quagsire was featured as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card and stickers in the [[2024 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Quagsire appears to be based on a {{wp|giant salamander}}.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Quagsire may be a combination of ''{{wp|Mire|quagmire}}'' and the honorific ''sire'' or ''{{wp|Siren (genus)|Siren}}'' (a genus of salamander).<br />
<br />
Nuoh may be a combination of 沼 ''numa'' (swamp, marsh, pond, or lake) and 王 ''ō'' (king) or オオサンショウウオ ''ōsanshōuo'' ({{wp|Japanese giant salamander}}).<br />

'''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]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has three main [[#Form data|forms]]: '''10% Forme''', '''50% Forme''', and '''Complete Forme'''. Zygarde, exclusively in its Complete Forme, can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Zygarde''' using the [[Zygardite]]. All forms of Zygarde are composed of '''[[Zygarde Core]]s''' and '''[[Zygarde Cell]]s'''.<br />
<br />
Zygarde can switch between its 10% and 50% Formes at the [[Reassembly Unit]] or with the [[Zygarde Cube]]. If its [[Ability]] is {{a|Power Construct}} and its [[HP]] drops below half, then Zygarde in either form will change into its Complete Forme. <small>(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data&rarr;Form data]] for these details.)</small><br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}, having no name originally. Zygarde 10% Forme and Zygarde Complete Forme, as well as the Zygarde Cells and Zygarde Cores, were revealed in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine and later introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Mega Zygarde was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
{{ga|Zygarde}} plays a [[Game mascot|central role]] in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, serving as one of the game's key figures. A [[Squishy|Zygarde Core]] plays an important role in the ''[[S19|XY&Z]]'' arc of {{aniseries|XY}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
Zygarde is a green and black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} composed of smaller units known as [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s, who collectively define its appearance and power by assembling in different percentages. In all of Zygarde's forms, the various Cores and Cells are represented as green and black hexagons that glow when it attacks. It has also been shown to be able to fly in all of its forms.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the guardian of the [[Pokémon world]]'s ecosystem, firmly believing that it has a duty to protect it,<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: ''"It is said this [[Legendary Pokémon]] is a guardian of the ecosystem."''</ref><ref name="50%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20171003202529mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ archived])</ref><ref name="50%ZA">[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde50 Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> and is responsible for monitoring it for abnormalities from caves such as [[Kalos]]'s [[Terminus Cave]] and [[Alola]]'s [[Resolution Cave]]. It is described as a being that seeks to correct excess, find moderation, and restore balance. Zygarde can {{a|Aura Break|reverse}} the effects of {{p|Xerneas}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{p|Yveltal}}'s {{a|Dark Aura}}, thus ensuring the equilibrium of the cycle of life and death are kept in check.<ref>''"[[Kalos]]ian Legends: {{p|Xerneas}}, the Life Pokémon, and {{p|Yveltal}}, the Destruction Pokémon, both hail from the beautiful Kalos [[region]]. While they stand in opposition, the Order Pokémon Zygarde is said to help keep the ecosystem in equilibrium."'' - ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]]'', page 282</ref> Normally, it avoids getting involved in conflicts unless the ecosystem is in grave danger.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon! | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> It is also known to ask for [[human]]s to assist it in protecting the ecosystem when necessary, but can still be wary of those it does not trust. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Z". In the animated series, a Zygarde Core and two Zygarde in their 50% Forme have had the green coloration on their bodies changed to red as a result of the influence of [[Team Flare]]'s [[Mega Evolution]] energy weapon; moreover, all of their formes were depicted as capable of [[Talking Pokémon|human speech]] via telepathy.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]]s {{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}}.<br />
<br />
===Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells===<br />
Physically, a [[Zygarde Core]] and a [[Zygarde Cell]] are almost identical. Both are small, green, cell-like blobs that resemble a {{wp|planarian}}. Their bodies are gelatinous, semitranslucent, and can be segmented into three sections: a large, round head, an abdomen with a colored hexagon, and a stubby tail. They have two eyes, though one is larger and has a pupil, and can stand on their tail (a trait most associated with the Core). The difference between a Core and a Cell is subtle: Cores have a black pupil and a red hexagon embedded inside their abdomen, while these are both green on Cells.<br />
<br />
On their own, neither Cores nor Cells have the power to battle, needing to assemble in order to take action. The Cells exist in far greater numbers than the Cores, therefore making up the majority of any given form of Zygarde. However, they lack wills of their own and can only act in accordance to the orders of a Core. The Cores act as Zygarde's brains,<ref name=CoresCells>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ Zygarde's Cores and Cells | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160814031551/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ archived])</ref> and there can be up to five of them. It can also use its Cells for [[move|attacks]], such as raining them down like {{m|Thousand Arrows|arrows}} or scattering them throughout the ground in {{m|Thousand Waves|waves}} before they're recalled into its body. When Zygarde exhausts all of its power, it splits back into individual Cores and Cells and scatters all over the world, reaching even far-off lands. While in this state, they absorb the native power of said lands and may request assistance from [[human]]s in order to reassemble.<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"When Zygarde used up its strength protecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from the light of [[ultimate weapon]]... its parts scattered to far-off places, absorbing the power of those lands and seeking [[human]]s who would give it aid."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> As seen in various media, Zygarde Cells demonstrate some form of will of their own and are capable of moving independently, without a Zygarde Core commanding them.<br />

<br />
===Forms===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme, which are composed of Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells. Zygarde Complete Forme can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde.<br />

====10% Forme====<br />
[[File:Zygarde 10 Percent SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Concept art of Zygarde's 10% Forme]]<br />
Zygarde 10% Forme is a relatively small {{wp|Canis|canine}} Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, though its neck, muzzle, mouth, eyebrows, and left front paw are green. Additionally, it has two green hexagons on its chest and a single one on its rear. From its neck, a green ribbon-like extension comes out, next to an elongated red hexagon, giving the impression of a leash and dog tag, respectively. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils, and there is a thin white line on its forehead. Its mouth is fitted with razor-sharp fangs. On each of its legs are black 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.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme is assumed in cases of emergency, created when it calls and gathers a tenth of its Cells across the land when it needs to fight. Because only a single Core serves as its brain, it cannot maintain this form indefinitely, and it will eventually fall apart. Nonethless, it is skilled at close range combat, overwhelming and quickly defeating its opponents by leaping at their chests and sinking its fangs into them. It is also capable of running at speeds greater than 60 mph (100 km/h).<ref name="10%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143708/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde10 Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Concept art of Zygarde 10% Forme shows that it can wrap its "leash" around the arm of someone it trusts.<br />
{{left clear}}<br />
<br />
====50% Forme====<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme is a large {{wp|Snake|serpentine}} Pokémon. 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 several small, green hexagons on its body that occasionally glow white.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 50% Forme is the result of half of its Cells and up to 3 Cores reuniting, and is considered its main form. Its power is capable of overwhelming anyone who stands in its way, but it is only at half of its full potential, and an equal amount of power waits to be assembled out in the world. There are rumors that an even greater power lies hidden within it, as it is capable of {{a|Power Construct|changing}} to a more powerful form when battling those who threaten the ecosystem.<ref name="10%SunMoon"/><ref name="50%ZA"/><ref name="50%SunMoon"/> The 50% Forme is known to be both ruthless and merciless to its foes. Its frill can be shown vibrating as it attacks. As seen in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Zygarde 50% Forme can summon and control massive roots for attacks and covering areas.<br />
<br />
====Complete Forme====<br />
Zygarde Complete Form is a large, humanoid Pokémon. 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 mouth that when opened, reveals five hexagons colored red, orange, white, cyan, and blue, respectively. It has a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's.<br />
<br />
Zygarde Complete Forme is Zygarde's perfected state, created when 100% of its Cells and Cores are gathered. In this form, Zygarde can fight at full power and complete its duty of protecting the ecosystem by suppressing those who willingly endanger it. Zygarde Complete Forme contains 5 Cores, one for each of its wings and its tail. Despite all of them being in a single body, each Core can make decisions and act independently of the others. The orifice on its chest can radiate enough high-powered energy to destroy everything around it. Zygarde Complete Forme can freely change the shapes of the four wings and tail for a variety of roles.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160715204745/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde-complete Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Notably, the tip of its wings can form snake-like heads that can be used to attack with energy beams, propel itself, and restore an unbalanced ecosystem back to normal, as seen in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. It has also been shown to form a green, protective barrier to shield itself and its allies. The Complete Forme is only used to neutralize huge threats to the ecosystem, such as [[Lysandre]]'s [[Giant Rock]], the [[Laquium|Laquium Core]], the [[ultimate weapon]], [[Ultra Burst|Ultra]] {{Adv|Necrozma}}, and {{DL|Ange|Hyperrogue Ange Floette}}. It is powerful enough to overwhelm even {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />

Overall, Mega Zygarde retains most of Zygarde Complete Forme's humanoid structure, but the Cells composing its body have been strategically relocated. Notably, it has lost most, if not all, of the hexagons composing Zygarde Complete Forme's lower body, arms, and wings, exposing its light green body. As a result of this, Mega Zygarde has completely lost its wings, having seemingly replaced them with six smaller arm-like structures. On its legs, only the three hexagons on each knee remain, though they changed from symmetrical white and green to asymmetrical black and white. The lower part of Zygarde Complete Forme's chest, starting from the multicolored mouth, has also opened, giving the impression it has ripped into strands of black hexagons similar to tree roots. The green, eye-like patterns on its chest now have each a differently colored hexagon on them (one red, one blue). Underneath the chest plate, a series of five white hexagons cover the true body. White, chain-like hexagonal patterns run down Mega Zygarde's uncovered torso, arms, and legs, as well as on its back and under its feet. Its arms don't end in hands, but split into three hexagonal digits. Mega Zygarde's headpiece and tail remain mostly unchanged from its base form, only having lost the green hexagons on its face and having more of those on its tail. Its crown is lit up by a green flame, and its eyes are green as well.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is said to be born as a result of people's emotions during an unprecedented crisis, allowing it to calm the situation with its unmatched power. Its defining feature is the giant cannon held above Mega Zygarde's head by its six smaller arms. The cannon has a cylindrical shape, somewhat resembling a tree trunk, decorated with several shapes and lines similar to Zygarde 10% Forme's leash. The cannon is mostly black, with dark blue and dark red patches circling its length. At the cannon's muzzle, there is a pink symbol resembling a cross between an "X" and a "Y" surrounded by red, blue, and pink lines. Its interior features a circle, three hexagons, and a central circle, while its back has a dark green hexagon at the center. When Mega Zygarde attacks with its cannon, the muzzle pattern shines in the shape of an "X", "Y", and "Z" before opening up, unleashing a {{m|Nihil Light|beam of light that defies nature itself}}, which has been likened to the [[Z-Move]]s found in the [[Alola]] [[region]].<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"And now that I think of it... The moves that Zygarde used when it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]—they reminded me of [[Z-Moves]], like those used in the [[Alola]] region."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> This attack was powerful enough to overpower Hyperrogue Ange Floette's powered-up {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which threatened to annihilate all of [[Lumiose City]], as well as to break through the [[Laquium]] Core's defenses and heavily damage it, as seen in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]''. Mega Zygarde has been referred to as "Lumiose's Guardian"<ref>[[Research Task (HOME)|Kalos Region Tasks]]</ref> due to it saving Lumiose City from Hyperrogue Ange Floette.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is the only known Pokémon capable of using the move {{m|Nihil Light}}, an upgraded version of Core Enforcer.<br />

===Form data===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s appear in the story in some games, but they are not catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and are not included in the [[Pokédex]]; they make up Zygarde's forms and are not forms themselves.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde's only form is its 50% Forme, which was unnamed at the time. The 10% Forme and Complete Forme were introduced to the games in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. It can switch between its 10% Forme and 50% Forme using the [[Reassembly Unit]] or the [[Zygarde Cube]], and can enter its Complete Forme in {{pkmn|battle}} if it has {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme and 50% Forme can have {{a|Aura Break}} or Power Construct as their [[Ability]]. Internally, Zygarde's Ability difference is itself a separate form. This makes it impossible to change Zygarde's Ability with [[Ability Capsule]]s or [[Ability Patch]]es; the Reassembly Unit or the Zygarde Cube must be used instead.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Aura Break}}<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde can only have {{a|Aura Break}} as an [[Ability]] and has no other forms.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VII]], a Zygarde with Aura Break can be transformed by the [[Reassembly Unit]]. This machine can create a 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break or change a 10% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break to a 50% Forme Zygarde. It can also change either to a 50% Forme Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}<br />
The [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change form" function ("Change Forme" in Generation VII) 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.<br />
<br />
Any Zygarde with Power Construct will change to Complete Forme in battle if its [[HP]] drops below half. When the battle ends, it returns to its original form with the same HP it ended the battle with (within its original form's maximum HP).<br />
<br />
Zygarde has a unique form change animation when changing to its Complete Forme, which shows Zygarde Cells (represented by green hexagons) gathering to change its form.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], due to the lack of Abilities, the distinction between Zygarde with Aura Break and Zygarde with Power Construct does not exist. Instead, any 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde will change into Complete Forme when its HP is reduced to half or less, increasing its maximum HP and gaining current HP equal to the amount of maximum HP gained. If Zygarde's HP is reduced below the threshold while it is using a [[move]], it will transform when the move finishes. Zygarde is invulnerable while changing into Complete Forme. It will change back to its previous form if it is recalled while out of battle, retaining the HP it had at that time; if this is above the maximum HP of its original form, its HP will become equal to its maximum HP.<br />

<br />
Zygarde's [[base stats]] differ between its three forms. Additionally, it can only [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] when it is in its Complete Forme. If it knows the move {{m|Core Enforcer}} when it Mega Evolves, the move will be replaced with {{m|Nihil Light}} until the Mega Evolution ends.<br />

[[File:Z2 50 Percent Forme.png|thumb|250px|Zygarde 50% Forme in {{aniseries|XY}}]]<br />
===Main series===<br />
====Major appearances====<br />
Zygarde is a major target of [[Team Flare]] in {{aniseries|XY}}. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core|Cores]] debuted in ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]''.<br />
<br />
=====[[Squishy]]=====<br />
With the help of [[Mairin]]'s {{p|Chespin}}, [[Chespie]], a Zygarde 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}}. In ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', Squishy transformed into its 10% and 50% Formes to defend itself against [[Bryony]] and her subordinates, thus marking the debut of 10% Forme. In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', when [[Alva]] used his laser weapon onto the [[Nebel Plateau]], it transformed into its Complete Forme to protect it, thus marking the form's debut. Squishy is known by the code name '''Z1''' by Team Flare.<br />
<br />
=====[[Z2]]=====<br />
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]]. It was captured by Team Flare and corrupted by their [[Mega Evolution]] weapon to help them clean the planet of humans. Unlike Squishy's red core, Z2 has a blue core.<br />
[[File:White Zygarde 50 Percent Forme.png|thumb|250px|{{Shiny}} Zygarde 50% Forme in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]<br />
<br />
=====[[White Zygarde]]=====<br />
In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', [[Gibeon]] was revealed to own a {{Shiny}} Zygarde 10% Forme. It regained access to its 50% Forme in ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', when it reunited with the [[Zygarde Cell|Cells]] it had lost in [[Laqua]]. In the [[HZ088|next episode]], it disassembled and abandoned Gibeon. A year later, [[Amethio]] was given a [[Zygarde Cube]], gathered the remaining Zygarde Cells, assembled a Zygarde 50% Forme, and {{pkmn2|caught}} it prior to ''[[HZ125|Battle for the Six Heroes!]]''. In ''[[HZ134|One Step Closer]]'', it assumed its Complete Forme after reuniting with the Cells left in Laqua. It is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]. It was released in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]'' to heal Laqua back to its original state.<br />
<br />
=====Other=====<br />
A Zygarde appeared in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where it was seen in its 50% Forme. When [[Veofum]] ordered his men to burn {{p|Xerneas}} after his plan to use its power failed, Zygarde appeared and destroyed his kingdom with {{m|Land's Wrath}}.<br />
<br />
====Minor appearances====<br />
Zygarde's Complete Forme's first appearance in the animated series was in ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', where it appeared in a dream.<br />
<br />
A Zygarde appeared in its 50% Forme in the opening sequence of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.<br />

{{main|Zygarde (Adventures)}}<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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 arc, 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]] alongside {{adv|Solgaleo}} and {{DL|Nebby|Pokémon Adventures|Lunala}}.<br />

<br />
===Origin===<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance may be 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 {{t|Ground}} type ("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 {{wp|yokai}}, often described as being snake-like. The "crown" behind it makes it resemble depictions of {{wp|Shesha}}.<br />
<br />
According to model sheet of Zygarde Complete Forme for {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it may also form a stylized letter Z when it lifts its cape over its head to attack. This forme of Zygarde 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 depicting [[List of Pokémon by Coastal Kalos Pokédex number|Coastal Kalos]], red on the right depicting [[List of Pokémon by Mountain Kalos Pokédex number|Mountain Kalos]], and white in the middle depicting [[List of Pokémon by Central Kalos Pokédex number|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.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde's cannon might be based on either a railgun or a laser cannon. As Mega Zygarde is styled after its Complete Forme, it may also resemble a stylized Z and a mech, with its cannon posed where the "head" of the Z is placed. Similarly, many of its hexagonal patterns are also blue and red, representative of Xerneas and Yveltal, justified the X, Y and Z markings on the front of its cannon.<br />
<br />
[[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s may be based on cells or other single-celled organisms, such as {{wp|slime mold}}s and members of ''{{wp|Euglena}}'', as well as {{wp|flatworm}}s (specifically {{wp|planarian}}). The hexagons within them may represent a {{wp|cell nucleus}}. The concept of the different forms of Zygarde being composed of smaller individuals useless by themselves may be based off {{wp|Colony (biology|colonial organisms}}. Zygarde's themes of the ecological balance of life may be thematically inspired by {{wp|zygote}}s, a type of cell that forms first development stage of an animal's life span. Zygarde's [[Form|forme change]] from its snake-like appearance in 50% Forme into its human-like Complete Forme may be inspired by {{wp|nāga}}, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures that may feature human-like qualities.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
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 ''{{wp|zygote}}'', ''garde'' (French for "guard"), and ''garðr'' (Old Norse for enclosure; realm).<br />

'''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]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has three main [[#Form data|forms]]: '''10% Forme''', '''50% Forme''', and '''Complete Forme'''. Zygarde, exclusively in its Complete Forme, can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Zygarde''' using the [[Zygardite]]. All forms of Zygarde are composed of '''[[Zygarde Core]]s''' and '''[[Zygarde Cell]]s'''.<br />
<br />
Zygarde can switch between its 10% and 50% Formes at the [[Reassembly Unit]] or with the [[Zygarde Cube]]. If its [[Ability]] is {{a|Power Construct}} and its [[HP]] drops below half, then Zygarde in either form will change into its Complete Forme. <small>(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data&rarr;Form data]] for these details.)</small><br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}, having no name originally. Zygarde 10% Forme and Zygarde Complete Forme, as well as the Zygarde Cells and Zygarde Cores, were revealed in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine and later introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Mega Zygarde was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
{{ga|Zygarde}} plays a [[Game mascot|central role]] in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, serving as one of the game's key figures. A [[Squishy|Zygarde Core]] plays an important role in the ''[[S19|XY&Z]]'' arc of {{aniseries|XY}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
Zygarde is a green and black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} composed of smaller units known as [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s, who collectively define its appearance and power by assembling in different percentages. In all of Zygarde's forms, the various Cores and Cells are represented as green and black hexagons that glow when it attacks. It has also been shown to be able to fly in all of its forms.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the guardian of the [[Pokémon world]]'s ecosystem, firmly believing that it has a duty to protect it,<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: ''"It is said this [[Legendary Pokémon]] is a guardian of the ecosystem."''</ref><ref name="50%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20171003202529mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ archived])</ref><ref name="50%ZA">[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde50 Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> and is responsible for monitoring it for abnormalities from caves such as [[Kalos]]'s [[Terminus Cave]] and [[Alola]]'s [[Resolution Cave]]. It is described as a being that seeks to correct excess, find moderation, and restore balance. Zygarde can {{a|Aura Break|reverse}} the effects of {{p|Xerneas}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{p|Yveltal}}'s {{a|Dark Aura}}, thus ensuring the equilibrium of the cycle of life and death are kept in check.<ref>''"[[Kalos]]ian Legends: {{p|Xerneas}}, the Life Pokémon, and {{p|Yveltal}}, the Destruction Pokémon, both hail from the beautiful Kalos [[region]]. While they stand in opposition, the Order Pokémon Zygarde is said to help keep the ecosystem in equilibrium."'' - ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]]'', page 282</ref> Normally, it avoids getting involved in conflicts unless the ecosystem is in grave danger.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon! | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> It is also known to ask for [[human]]s to assist it in protecting the ecosystem when necessary, but can still be wary of those it does not trust. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Z". In the animated series, a Zygarde Core and two Zygarde in their 50% Forme have had the green coloration on their bodies changed to red as a result of the influence of [[Team Flare]]'s [[Mega Evolution]] energy weapon; moreover, all of their formes were depicted as capable of [[Talking Pokémon|human speech]] via telepathy.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]]s {{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}}.<br />
<br />
===Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells===<br />
Physically, a Zygarde Core and a Zygarde Cell are almost identical. Both are small, green, cell-like blobs that resemble a {{wp|planarian}}. Their bodies are gelatinous, semitranslucent, and can be segmented into three sections: a large, round head, an abdomen with a colored hexagon, and a stubby tail. They have two eyes, though one is larger and has a pupil, and can stand on their tail (a trait most associated with the Core). The difference between a Core and a Cell is subtle: Cores have a black pupil and a red hexagon embedded inside their abdomen, while these are both green on Cells.<br />
<br />
On their own, neither Cores nor Cells have the power to battle, needing to assemble in order to take action. The Cells exist in far greater numbers than the Cores, therefore making up the majority of any given form of Zygarde. However, they lack wills of their own and can only act in accordance to the orders of a Core. The Cores act as Zygarde's brains,<ref name=CoresCells>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ Zygarde's Cores and Cells | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160814031551/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ archived])</ref> and there can be up to five of them. It can also use its Cells for [[move|attacks]], such as raining them down like {{m|Thousand Arrows|arrows}} or scattering them throughout the ground in {{m|Thousand Waves|waves}} before they're recalled into its body. When Zygarde exhausts all of its power, it splits back into individual Cores and Cells and scatters all over the world, reaching even far-off lands. While in this state, they absorb the native power of said lands and may request assistance from [[human]]s in order to reassemble.<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"When Zygarde used up its strength protecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from the light of [[ultimate weapon]]... its parts scattered to far-off places, absorbing the power of those lands and seeking [[human]]s who would give it aid."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> As seen in various media, Zygarde Cells demonstrate some form of will of their own and are capable of moving independently, without a Zygarde Core commanding them.<br />

===Forms===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme, which are composed of [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s. Zygarde Complete Forme can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde.<br />

====10% Forme====<br />
[[File:Zygarde 10 Percent SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Concept art of Zygarde's 10% Forme]]<br />
Zygarde 10% Forme is a relatively small {{wp|Canis|canine}} Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, though its neck, muzzle, mouth, eyebrows, and left front paw are green. Additionally, it has two green hexagons on its chest and a single one on its rear. From its neck, a green ribbon-like extension comes out, next to an elongated red hexagon, giving the impression of a leash and dog tag, respectively. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils, and there is a thin white line on its forehead. Its mouth is fitted with razor-sharp fangs. On each of its legs are black 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.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme is assumed in cases of emergency, created when it calls and gathers a tenth of its Cells across the land when it needs to fight. Because only a single Core serves as its brain, it cannot maintain this form indefinitely, and it will eventually fall apart. Nonethless, it is skilled at close range combat, overwhelming and quickly defeating its opponents by leaping at their chests and sinking its fangs into them. It is also capable of running at speeds greater than 60 mph (100 km/h).<ref name="10%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143708/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde10 Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Concept art of Zygarde 10% Forme shows that it can wrap its "leash" around the arm of someone it trusts.<br />
{{left clear}}<br />
<br />
====50% Forme====<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme is a large {{wp|Snake|serpentine}} Pokémon. 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 several small, green hexagons on its body that occasionally glow white.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 50% Forme is the result of half of its Cells and up to 3 Cores reuniting, and is considered its main form. Its power is capable of overwhelming anyone who stands in its way, but it is only at half of its full potential, and an equal amount of power waits to be assembled out in the world. There are rumors that an even greater power lies hidden within it, as it is capable of {{a|Power Construct|changing}} to a more powerful form when battling those who threaten the ecosystem.<ref name="10%SunMoon"/><ref name="50%ZA"/><ref name="50%SunMoon"/> The 50% Forme is known to be both ruthless and merciless to its foes. Its frill can be shown vibrating as it attacks. As seen in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Zygarde 50% Forme can summon and control massive roots for attacks and covering areas.<br />
<br />
====Complete Forme====<br />
Zygarde Complete Form is a large, humanoid Pokémon. 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 mouth that when opened, reveals five hexagons colored red, orange, white, cyan, and blue, respectively. It has a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's.<br />
<br />
Zygarde Complete Forme is Zygarde's perfected state, created when 100% of its Cells and Cores are gathered. In this form, Zygarde can fight at full power and complete its duty of protecting the ecosystem by suppressing those who willingly endanger it. Zygarde Complete Forme contains 5 Cores, one for each of its wings and its tail. Despite all of them being in a single body, each Core can make decisions and act independently of the others. The orifice on its chest can radiate enough high-powered energy to destroy everything around it. Zygarde Complete Forme can freely change the shapes of the four wings and tail for a variety of roles.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160715204745/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde-complete Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Notably, the tip of its wings can form snake-like heads that can be used to attack with energy beams, propel itself, and restore an unbalanced ecosystem back to normal, as seen in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. It has also been shown to form a green, protective barrier to shield itself and its allies. The Complete Forme is only used to neutralize huge threats to the ecosystem, such as [[Lysandre]]'s [[Giant Rock]], the [[Laquium|Laquium Core]], the [[ultimate weapon]], [[Ultra Burst|Ultra]] {{Adv|Necrozma}}, and {{DL|Ange|Hyperrogue Ange Floette}}. It is powerful enough to overwhelm even {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />

<br />
====Mega Zygarde====<br />
Overall, Mega Zygarde retains most of Zygarde Complete Forme's humanoid structure, but the Cells composing its body have been strategically relocated. Notably, it has lost most, if not all, of the hexagons composing Zygarde Complete Forme's lower body, arms, and wings, exposing its light green body. As a result of this, Mega Zygarde has completely lost its wings, having seemingly replaced them with six smaller arm-like structures. On its legs, only the three hexagons on each knee remain, though they changed from symmetrical white and green to asymmetrical black and white. The lower part of Zygarde Complete Forme's chest, starting from the multicolored mouth, has also opened, giving the impression it has ripped into strands of black hexagons similar to tree roots. The green, eye-like patterns on its chest now have each a differently colored hexagon on them (one red, one blue). Underneath the chest plate, a series of five white hexagons cover the true body. White, chain-like hexagonal patterns run down Mega Zygarde's uncovered torso, arms, and legs, as well as on its back and under its feet. Its arms don't end in hands, but split into three hexagonal digits. Mega Zygarde's headpiece and tail remain mostly unchanged from its base form, only having lost the green hexagons on its face and having more of those on its tail. Its crown is lit up by a green flame, and its eyes are green as well.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is said to be born as a result of people's emotions during an unprecedented crisis, allowing it to calm the situation with its unmatched power. Its defining feature is the giant cannon held above Mega Zygarde's head by its six smaller arms. The cannon has a cylindrical shape, somewhat resembling a tree trunk, decorated with several shapes and lines similar to Zygarde 10% Forme's leash. The cannon is mostly black, with dark blue and dark red patches circling its length. At the cannon's muzzle, there is a pink symbol resembling a cross between an "X" and a "Y" surrounded by red, blue, and pink lines. Its interior features a circle, three hexagons, and a central circle, while its back has a dark green hexagon at the center. When Mega Zygarde attacks with its cannon, the muzzle pattern shines in the shape of an "X", "Y", and "Z" before opening up, unleashing a {{m|Nihil Light|beam of light that defies nature itself}}, which has been likened to the [[Z-Move]]s found in the [[Alola]] [[region]].<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"And now that I think of it... The moves that Zygarde used when it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]—they reminded me of [[Z-Moves]], like those used in the [[Alola]] region."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> This attack was powerful enough to overpower Hyperrogue Ange Floette's powered-up {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which threatened to annihilate all of [[Lumiose City]], as well as to break through the [[Laquium]] Core's defenses and heavily damage it, as seen in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]''. Mega Zygarde has been referred to as "Lumiose's Guardian"<ref>[[Research Task (HOME)|Kalos Region Tasks]]</ref> due to it saving Lumiose City from Hyperrogue Ange Floette.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is the only known Pokémon capable of using the move {{m|Nihil Light}}, an upgraded version of Core Enforcer.<br />

===Form data===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s appear in the story in some games, but they are not catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and are not included in the [[Pokédex]]; they make up Zygarde's forms and are not forms themselves.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde's only form is its 50% Forme, which was unnamed at the time. The 10% Forme and Complete Forme were introduced to the games in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. It can switch between its 10% Forme and 50% Forme using the [[Reassembly Unit]] or the [[Zygarde Cube]], and can enter its Complete Forme in {{pkmn|battle}} if it has {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme and 50% Forme can have {{a|Aura Break}} or Power Construct as their [[Ability]]. Internally, Zygarde's Ability difference is itself a separate form. This makes it impossible to change Zygarde's Ability with [[Ability Capsule]]s or [[Ability Patch]]es; the Reassembly Unit or the Zygarde Cube must be used instead.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Aura Break}}<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde can only have {{a|Aura Break}} as an [[Ability]] and has no other forms.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VII]], a Zygarde with Aura Break can be transformed by the [[Reassembly Unit]]. This machine can create a 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break or change a 10% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break to a 50% Forme Zygarde. It can also change either to a 50% Forme Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}<br />
The [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change form" function ("Change Forme" in Generation VII) 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.<br />
<br />
Any Zygarde with Power Construct will change to Complete Forme in battle if its [[HP]] drops below half. When the battle ends, it returns to its original form with the same HP it ended the battle with (within its original form's maximum HP).<br />
<br />
Zygarde has a unique form change animation when changing to its Complete Forme, which shows Zygarde Cells (represented by green hexagons) gathering to change its form.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], due to the lack of Abilities, the distinction between Zygarde with Aura Break and Zygarde with Power Construct does not exist. Instead, any 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde will change into Complete Forme when its HP is reduced to half or less, increasing its maximum HP and gaining current HP equal to the amount of maximum HP gained. If Zygarde's HP is reduced below the threshold while it is using a [[move]], it will transform when the move finishes. Zygarde is invulnerable while changing into Complete Forme. It will change back to its previous form if it is recalled while out of battle, retaining the HP it had at that time; if this is above the maximum HP of its original form, its HP will become equal to its maximum HP.<br />

It traveled in Bonnie's bag alongside {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. In ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', Squishy transformed into its 10% and 50% Formes to defend itself against [[Bryony]] and her subordinates, thus marking the debut of 10% Forme. In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', when [[Alva]] used his laser weapon onto the [[Nebel Plateau]], it transformed into its Complete Forme to protect it, thus marking the form's debut.

===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Zygarde (Adventures)}}<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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 arc, 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]] alongside {{adv|Solgaleo}} and {{DL|Nebby|Pokémon Adventures|Lunala}}.<br />

<br />
===Origin===<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance may be 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 {{t|Ground}} type ("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 {{wp|yokai}}, often described as being snake-like. The "crown" behind it makes it resemble depictions of {{wp|Shesha}}.<br />
<br />
According to model sheet of Zygarde Complete Forme for {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it may also form a stylized letter Z when it lifts its cape over its head to attack. This forme of Zygarde 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 depicting [[List of Pokémon by Coastal Kalos Pokédex number|Coastal Kalos]], red on the right depicting [[List of Pokémon by Mountain Kalos Pokédex number|Mountain Kalos]], and white in the middle depicting [[List of Pokémon by Central Kalos Pokédex number|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.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde's cannon might be based on either a railgun or a laser cannon. As Mega Zygarde is styled after its Complete Forme, it may also resemble a stylized Z and a mech, with its cannon posed where the "head" of the Z is placed. Similarly, many of its hexagonal patterns are also blue and red, representative of Xerneas and Yveltal, justified the X, Y and Z markings on the front of its cannon.<br />
<br />
[[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s may be based on cells or other single-celled organisms, such as {{wp|slime mold}}s and members of ''{{wp|Euglena}}'', as well as {{wp|flatworm}}s (specifically {{wp|planarian}}). The hexagons within them may represent a {{wp|cell nucleus}}. The concept of the different forms of Zygarde being composed of smaller individuals useless by themselves may be based off {{wp|Colony (biology|colonial organisms}}. Zygarde's themes of the ecological balance of life may be thematically inspired by {{wp|zygote}}s, a type of cell that forms first development stage of an animal's life span. Zygarde's [[Form|forme change]] from its snake-like appearance in 50% Forme into its human-like Complete Forme may be inspired by {{wp|nāga}}, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures that may feature human-like qualities.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
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 ''{{wp|zygote}}'', ''garde'' (French for "guard"), and ''garðr'' (Old Norse for enclosure; realm).<br />

'''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]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has three main [[#Form data|forms]]: '''10% Forme''', '''50% Forme''', and '''Complete Forme'''. Zygarde, exclusively in its Complete Forme, can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Zygarde''' using the [[Zygardite]]. All forms of Zygarde are composed of '''[[Zygarde Core]]s''' and '''[[Zygarde Cell]]s'''.<br />
<br />
Zygarde can switch between its 10% and 50% Formes at the [[Reassembly Unit]] or with the [[Zygarde Cube]]. If its [[Ability]] is {{a|Power Construct}} and its [[HP]] drops below half, then Zygarde in either form will change into its Complete Forme. <small>(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data&rarr;Form data]] for these details.)</small><br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}, having no name originally. Zygarde 10% Forme and Zygarde Complete Forme, as well as the Zygarde Cells and Zygarde Cores, were revealed in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine and later introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Mega Zygarde was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
{{ga|Zygarde}} plays a [[Game mascot|central role]] in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, serving as one of the game's key figures. A [[Squishy|Zygarde Core]] plays an important role in the ''[[S19|XY&Z]]'' arc of {{aniseries|XY}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
Zygarde is a green and black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} composed of smaller units known as [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s, who collectively define its appearance and power by assembling in different percentages. In all of Zygarde's forms, the various Cores and Cells are represented as green and black hexagons that glow when it attacks. It has also been shown to be able to fly in all of its forms.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the guardian of the [[Pokémon world]]'s ecosystem, firmly believing that it has a duty to protect it,<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: ''"It is said this [[Legendary Pokémon]] is a guardian of the ecosystem."''</ref><ref name="50%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20171003202529mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ archived])</ref><ref name="50%ZA">[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde50 Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> and is responsible for monitoring it for abnormalities from caves such as [[Kalos]]'s [[Terminus Cave]] and [[Alola]]'s [[Resolution Cave]]. It is described as a being that seeks to correct excess, find moderation, and restore balance. Zygarde can {{a|Aura Break|reverse}} the effects of {{p|Xerneas}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{p|Yveltal}}'s {{a|Dark Aura}}, thus ensuring the equilibrium of the cycle of life and death are kept in check.<ref>''"[[Kalos]]ian Legends: {{p|Xerneas}}, the Life Pokémon, and {{p|Yveltal}}, the Destruction Pokémon, both hail from the beautiful Kalos [[region]]. While they stand in opposition, the Order Pokémon Zygarde is said to help keep the ecosystem in equilibrium."'' - ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]]'', page 282</ref> Normally, it avoids getting involved in conflicts unless the ecosystem is in grave danger.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon! | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> It is also known to ask for [[human]]s to assist it in protecting the ecosystem when necessary, but can still be wary of those it does not trust. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Z". In the animated series, a Zygarde Core and two Zygarde in their 50% Forme have had the green coloration on their bodies changed to red as a result of the influence of [[Team Flare]]'s [[Mega Evolution]] energy weapon; moreover, all of their formes were depicted as capable of [[Talking Pokémon|human speech]] via telepathy.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]]s {{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}}.<br />
<br />
===Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells===<br />
Physically, a Zygarde Core and a Zygarde Cell are almost identical. Both are small, green, cell-like blobs that resemble a {{wp|planarian}}. Their bodies are gelatinous, semitranslucent, and can be segmented into three sections: a large, round head, an abdomen with a colored hexagon, and a stubby tail. They have two eyes, though one is larger and has a pupil, and can stand on their tail (a trait most associated with the Core). The difference between a Core and a Cell is subtle: Cores have a black pupil and a red hexagon embedded inside their abdomen, while these are both green on Cells.<br />
<br />
On their own, neither Cores nor Cells have the power to battle, needing to assemble in order to take action. The Cells exist in far greater numbers than the Cores, therefore making up the majority of any given form of Zygarde. However, they lack wills of their own and can only act in accordance to the orders of a Core. The Cores act as Zygarde's brains,<ref name=CoresCells>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ Zygarde's Cores and Cells | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160814031551/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ archived])</ref> and there can be up to five of them. It can also use its Cells for [[move|attacks]], such as raining them down like {{m|Thousand Arrows|arrows}} or scattering them throughout the ground in {{m|Thousand Waves|waves}} before they're recalled into its body. When Zygarde exhausts all of its power, it splits back into individual Cores and Cells and scatters all over the world, reaching even far-off lands. While in this state, they absorb the native power of said lands and may request assistance from [[human]]s in order to reassemble.<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"When Zygarde used up its strength protecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from the light of [[ultimate weapon]]... its parts scattered to far-off places, absorbing the power of those lands and seeking [[human]]s who would give it aid."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> As seen in various media, Zygarde Cells demonstrate some form of will of their own and are capable of moving independently, without a Zygarde Core commanding them.<br />

<br />
===Forms===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme, which are composed of [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s. Zygarde Complete Forme can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde.<br />

====10% Forme====<br />
[[File:Zygarde 10 Percent SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Concept art of Zygarde's 10% Forme]]<br />
Zygarde 10% Forme is a relatively small {{wp|Canis|canine}} Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, though its neck, muzzle, mouth, eyebrows, and left front paw are green. Additionally, it has two green hexagons on its chest and a single one on its rear. From its neck, a green ribbon-like extension comes out, next to an elongated red hexagon, giving the impression of a leash and dog tag, respectively. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils, and there is a thin white line on its forehead. Its mouth is fitted with razor-sharp fangs. On each of its legs are black 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.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme is assumed in cases of emergency, created when it calls and gathers a tenth of its Cells across the land when it needs to fight. Because only a single Core serves as its brain, it cannot maintain this form indefinitely, and it will eventually fall apart. Nonethless, it is skilled at close range combat, overwhelming and quickly defeating its opponents by leaping at their chests and sinking its fangs into them. It is also capable of running at speeds greater than 60 mph (100 km/h).<ref name="10%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143708/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde10 Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Concept art of Zygarde 10% Forme shows that it can wrap its "leash" around the arm of someone it trusts.<br />
{{left clear}}<br />
<br />
====50% Forme====<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme is a large {{wp|Snake|serpentine}} Pokémon. 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 several small, green hexagons on its body that occasionally glow white.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 50% Forme is the result of half of its Cells and up to 3 Cores reuniting, and is considered its main form. Its power is capable of overwhelming anyone who stands in its way, but it is only at half of its full potential, and an equal amount of power waits to be assembled out in the world. There are rumors that an even greater power lies hidden within it, as it is capable of {{a|Power Construct|changing}} to a more powerful form when battling those who threaten the ecosystem.<ref name="10%SunMoon"/><ref name="50%ZA"/><ref name="50%SunMoon"/> The 50% Forme is known to be both ruthless and merciless to its foes. Its frill can be shown vibrating as it attacks. As seen in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Zygarde 50% Forme can summon and control massive roots for attacks and covering areas.<br />
<br />
====Complete Forme====<br />
Zygarde Complete Form is a large, humanoid Pokémon. 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 mouth that when opened, reveals five hexagons colored red, orange, white, cyan, and blue, respectively. It has a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's.<br />
<br />
Zygarde Complete Forme is Zygarde's perfected state, created when 100% of its Cells and Cores are gathered. In this form, Zygarde can fight at full power and complete its duty of protecting the ecosystem by suppressing those who willingly endanger it. Zygarde Complete Forme contains 5 Cores, one for each of its wings and its tail. Despite all of them being in a single body, each Core serves as a brain and can make decisions and act independently of the others. The orifice on its chest can radiate enough high-powered energy to destroy everything around it. Zygarde Complete Forme can freely change the shapes of the four wings and tail for a variety of roles.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160715204745/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde-complete Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Notably, the tip of its wings can form snake-like heads that can be used to attack with energy beams, propel itself, and restore an unbalanced ecosystem back to normal, as seen in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. It has also been shown to form a green, protective barrier to shield itself and its allies. The Complete Forme is only used to neutralize huge threats to the ecosystem, such as [[Lysandre]]'s [[Giant Rock]], the [[Laquium|Laquium Core]], the [[ultimate weapon]], [[Ultra Burst|Ultra]] {{Adv|Necrozma}}, and {{DL|Ange|Hyperrogue Ange Floette}}. It is powerful enough to overwhelm even {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />

<br />
====Mega Zygarde====<br />
Overall, Mega Zygarde retains most of Zygarde Complete Forme's humanoid structure, but the Cells composing its body have been strategically relocated. Notably, it has lost most, if not all, of the hexagons composing Zygarde Complete Forme's lower body, arms, and wings, exposing its light green body. As a result of this, Mega Zygarde has completely lost its wings, having seemingly replaced them with six smaller arm-like structures. On its legs, only the three hexagons on each knee remain, though they changed from symmetrical white and green to asymmetrical black and white. The lower part of Zygarde Complete Forme's chest, starting from the multicolored mouth, has also opened, giving the impression it has ripped into strands of black hexagons similar to tree roots. The green, eye-like patterns on its chest now have each a differently colored hexagon on them (one red, one blue). Underneath the chest plate, a series of five white hexagons cover the true body. White, chain-like hexagonal patterns run down Mega Zygarde's uncovered torso, arms, and legs, as well as on its back and under its feet. Its arms don't end in hands, but split into three hexagonal digits. Mega Zygarde's headpiece and tail remain mostly unchanged from its base form, only having lost the green hexagons on its face and having more of those on its tail. Its crown is lit up by a green flame, and its eyes are green as well.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is said to be born as a result of people's emotions during an unprecedented crisis, allowing it to calm the situation with its unmatched power. Its defining feature is the giant cannon held above Mega Zygarde's head by its six smaller arms. The cannon has a cylindrical shape, somewhat resembling a tree trunk, decorated with several shapes and lines similar to Zygarde 10% Forme's leash. The cannon is mostly black, with dark blue and dark red patches circling its length. At the cannon's muzzle, there is a pink symbol resembling a cross between an "X" and a "Y" surrounded by red, blue, and pink lines. Its interior features a circle, three hexagons, and a central circle, while its back has a dark green hexagon at the center. When Mega Zygarde attacks with its cannon, the muzzle pattern shines in the shape of an "X", "Y", and "Z" before opening up, unleashing a {{m|Nihil Light|beam of light that defies nature itself}}, which has been likened to the [[Z-Move]]s found in the [[Alola]] [[region]].<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"And now that I think of it... The moves that Zygarde used when it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]—they reminded me of [[Z-Moves]], like those used in the [[Alola]] region."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> This attack was powerful enough to overpower Hyperrogue Ange Floette's powered-up {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which threatened to annihilate all of [[Lumiose City]], as well as to break through the [[Laquium]] Core's defenses and heavily damage it, as seen in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]''. Mega Zygarde has been referred to as "Lumiose's Guardian"<ref>[[Research Task (HOME)|Kalos Region Tasks]]</ref> due to it saving Lumiose City from Hyperrogue Ange Floette.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is the only known Pokémon capable of using the move {{m|Nihil Light}}, an upgraded version of Core Enforcer.<br />

===Form data===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s appear in the story in some games, but they are not catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and are not included in the [[Pokédex]]; they make up Zygarde's forms and are not forms themselves.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde's only form is its 50% Forme, which was unnamed at the time. The 10% Forme and Complete Forme were introduced to the games in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. It can switch between its 10% Forme and 50% Forme using the [[Reassembly Unit]] or the [[Zygarde Cube]], and can enter its Complete Forme in {{pkmn|battle}} if it has {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme and 50% Forme can have {{a|Aura Break}} or Power Construct as their [[Ability]]. Internally, Zygarde's Ability difference is itself a separate form. This makes it impossible to change Zygarde's Ability with [[Ability Capsule]]s or [[Ability Patch]]es; the Reassembly Unit or the Zygarde Cube must be used instead.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Aura Break}}<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde can only have {{a|Aura Break}} as an [[Ability]] and has no other forms.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VII]], a Zygarde with Aura Break can be transformed by the [[Reassembly Unit]]. This machine can create a 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break or change a 10% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break to a 50% Forme Zygarde. It can also change either to a 50% Forme Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}<br />
The [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change form" function ("Change Forme" in Generation VII) 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.<br />
<br />
Any Zygarde with Power Construct will change to Complete Forme in battle if its [[HP]] drops below half. When the battle ends, it returns to its original form with the same HP it ended the battle with (within its original form's maximum HP).<br />
<br />
Zygarde has a unique form change animation when changing to its Complete Forme, which shows Zygarde Cells (represented by green hexagons) gathering to change its form.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], due to the lack of Abilities, the distinction between Zygarde with Aura Break and Zygarde with Power Construct does not exist. Instead, any 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde will change into Complete Forme when its HP is reduced to half or less, increasing its maximum HP and gaining current HP equal to the amount of maximum HP gained. If Zygarde's HP is reduced below the threshold while it is using a [[move]], it will transform when the move finishes. Zygarde is invulnerable while changing into Complete Forme. It will change back to its previous form if it is recalled while out of battle, retaining the HP it had at that time; if this is above the maximum HP of its original form, its HP will become equal to its maximum HP.<br />

Zygarde's [[base stats]] differ between its three forms. Additionally, it can only [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] when it is in its Complete Forme. If it knows the move {{m|Core Enforcer}} when it Mega Evolves, the move will be replaced with {{m|Nihil Light}} until the Mega Evolution ends.<br />

===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Zygarde (Adventures)}}<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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 arc, 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]] alongside {{adv|Solgaleo}} and {{DL|Nebby|Pokémon Adventures|Lunala}}.<br />

<br />
===Origin===<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance may be 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 {{t|Ground}} type ("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 {{wp|yokai}}, often described as being snake-like. The "crown" behind it makes it resemble depictions of {{wp|Shesha}}.<br />
<br />
According to model sheet of Zygarde Complete Forme for {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it may also form a stylized letter Z when it lifts its cape over its head to attack. This forme of Zygarde 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 depicting [[List of Pokémon by Coastal Kalos Pokédex number|Coastal Kalos]], red on the right depicting [[List of Pokémon by Mountain Kalos Pokédex number|Mountain Kalos]], and white in the middle depicting [[List of Pokémon by Central Kalos Pokédex number|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.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde's cannon might be based on either a railgun or a laser cannon. As Mega Zygarde is styled after its Complete Forme, it may also resemble a stylized Z and a mech, with its cannon posed where the "head" of the Z is placed. Similarly, many of its hexagonal patterns are also blue and red, representative of Xerneas and Yveltal, justified the X, Y and Z markings on the front of its cannon.<br />
<br />
[[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s may be based on cells or other single-celled organisms, such as {{wp|slime mold}}s and members of ''{{wp|Euglena}}'', as well as {{wp|flatworm}}s (specifically {{wp|planarian}}). The hexagons within them may represent a {{wp|cell nucleus}}. The concept of the different forms of Zygarde being composed of smaller individuals useless by themselves may be based off {{wp|Colony (biology|colonial organisms}}. Zygarde's themes of the ecological balance of life may be thematically inspired by {{wp|zygote}}s, a type of cell that forms first development stage of an animal's life span. Zygarde's [[Form|forme change]] from its snake-like appearance in 50% Forme into its human-like Complete Forme may be inspired by {{wp|nāga}}, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures that may feature human-like qualities.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
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 ''{{wp|zygote}}'', ''garde'' (French for "guard"), and ''garðr'' (Old Norse for enclosure; realm).<br />

'''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]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has three main [[#Form data|forms]]: '''10% Forme''', '''50% Forme''', and '''Complete Forme'''. Zygarde, exclusively in its Complete Forme, can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Zygarde''' using the [[Zygardite]]. All forms of Zygarde are composed of '''[[Zygarde Core]]s''' and '''[[Zygarde Cell]]s'''.<br />
<br />
Zygarde can switch between its 10% and 50% Formes at the [[Reassembly Unit]] or with the [[Zygarde Cube]]. If its [[Ability]] is {{a|Power Construct}} and its [[HP]] drops below half, then Zygarde in either form will change into its Complete Forme. <small>(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data&rarr;Form data]] for these details.)</small><br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}, having no name originally. Zygarde 10% Forme and Zygarde Complete Forme, as well as the Zygarde Cells and Zygarde Cores, were revealed in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine and later introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Mega Zygarde was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
{{ga|Zygarde}} plays a [[Game mascot|central role]] in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, serving as one of the game's key figures. A [[Squishy|Zygarde Core]] plays an important role in the ''[[S19|XY&Z]]'' arc of {{aniseries|XY}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:Zygarde Core SM concept art.png|thumb|left|170px|Zygarde Cores make up Zygarde's brain]]<br />
Zygarde is a green and black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} composed of smaller units known as [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s, who collectively define its appearance and power by assembling in different percentages. In all of Zygarde's forms, the various Cores and Cells are represented as green and black hexagons that glow when it attacks. It has also been shown to be able to fly in all of its forms.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the guardian of the [[Pokémon world]]'s ecosystem, firmly believing that it has a duty to protect it,<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: ''"It is said this [[Legendary Pokémon]] is a guardian of the ecosystem."''</ref><ref name="50%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20171003202529mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ archived])</ref><ref name="50%ZA">[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde50 Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> and is responsible for monitoring it for abnormalities from caves such as [[Kalos]]'s [[Terminus Cave]] and [[Alola]]'s [[Resolution Cave]]. It is described as a being that seeks to correct excess, find moderation, and restore balance. Zygarde can {{a|Aura Break|reverse}} the effects of {{p|Xerneas}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{p|Yveltal}}'s {{a|Dark Aura}}, thus ensuring the equilibrium of the cycle of life and death are kept in check.<ref>''"[[Kalos]]ian Legends: {{p|Xerneas}}, the Life Pokémon, and {{p|Yveltal}}, the Destruction Pokémon, both hail from the beautiful Kalos [[region]]. While they stand in opposition, the Order Pokémon Zygarde is said to help keep the ecosystem in equilibrium."'' - ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]]'', page 282</ref> Normally, it avoids getting involved in conflicts unless the ecosystem is in grave danger.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon! | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> It is also known to ask for [[human]]s to assist it in protecting the ecosystem when necessary, but can still be wary of those it does not trust. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Z". In the animated series, a Zygarde Core and two Zygarde in their 50% Forme have had the green coloration on their bodies changed to red as a result of the influence of [[Team Flare]]'s [[Mega Evolution]] energy weapon; moreover, all of their formes were depicted as capable of [[Talking Pokémon|human speech]] via telepathy.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]]s {{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}}.<br />
<br />
===Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells===<br />
Physically, a Zygarde Core and a Zygarde Cell are almost identical. Both are small, green, cell-like blobs that resemble a {{wp|planarian}}. Their bodies are gelatinous, semitranslucent, and can be segmented into three sections: a large, round head, an abdomen with a colored hexagon, and a stubby tail. They have two eyes, though one is larger and has a pupil, and can stand on their tail (a trait most associated with the Core). The difference between a Core and a Cell is subtle: Cores have a black pupil and a red hexagon embedded inside their abdomen, while these are both green on Cells.<br />
<br />
On their own, neither Cores nor Cells have the power to battle, needing to assemble in order to take action. The Cells exist in far greater numbers than the Cores, therefore making up the majority of any given form of Zygarde. However, they lack wills of their own and can only act in accordance to the orders of a Core. The Cores act as Zygarde's brains,<ref name=CoresCells>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ Zygarde's Cores and Cells | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160814031551/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ archived])</ref> and there can be up to five of them. It can also use its Cells for [[move|attacks]], such as raining them down like {{m|Thousand Arrows|arrows}} or scattering them throughout the ground in {{m|Thousand Waves|waves}} before they're recalled into its body. When Zygarde exhausts all of its power, it splits back into individual Cores and Cells and scatters all over the world, reaching even far-off lands. While in this state, they absorb the native power of said lands and may request assistance from [[human]]s in order to reassemble.<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"When Zygarde used up its strength protecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from the light of [[ultimate weapon]]... its parts scattered to far-off places, absorbing the power of those lands and seeking [[human]]s who would give it aid."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> As seen in various media, Zygarde Cells demonstrate some form of will of their own and are capable of moving independently, without a Zygarde Core commanding them.<br />

<br />
===Forms===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme, which are composed of [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s. Zygarde Complete Forme can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde.<br />

====10% Forme====<br />
[[File:Zygarde 10 Percent SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Concept art of Zygarde's 10% Forme]]<br />
Zygarde 10% Forme is a relatively small {{wp|Canis|canine}} Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, though its neck, muzzle, mouth, eyebrows, and left front paw are green. Additionally, it has two green hexagons on its chest and a single one on its rear. From its neck, a green ribbon-like extension comes out, next to an elongated red hexagon, giving the impression of a leash and dog tag, respectively. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils, and there is a thin white line on its forehead. Its mouth is fitted with razor-sharp fangs. On each of its legs are black 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.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme is assumed in cases of emergency, created when it calls and gathers a tenth of its Cells across the land when it needs to fight. Because only a single Core serves as its brain, it cannot maintain this form indefinitely, and it will eventually fall apart. Nonethless, it is skilled at close range combat, overwhelming and quickly defeating its opponents by leaping at their chests and sinking its fangs into them. It is also capable of running at speeds greater than 60 mph (100 km/h).<ref name="10%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143708/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde10 Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Concept art of Zygarde 10% Forme shows that it can wrap its "leash" around the arm of someone it trusts.<br />
{{left clear}}<br />
<br />
====50% Forme====<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme is a large {{wp|Snake|serpentine}} Pokémon. 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 several small, green hexagons on its body that occasionally glow white.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 50% Forme is the result of half of its Cells and up to 3 Cores reuniting, and is considered its main form. Its power is capable of overwhelming anyone who stands in its way, but it is only at half of its full potential, and an equal amount of power waits to be assembled out in the world. There are rumors that an even greater power lies hidden within it, as it is capable of {{a|Power Construct|changing}} to a more powerful form when battling those who threaten the ecosystem.<ref name="10%SunMoon"/><ref name="50%ZA"/><ref name="50%SunMoon"/> The 50% Forme is known to be both ruthless and merciless to its foes. Its frill can be shown vibrating as it attacks. As seen in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Zygarde 50% Forme can summon and control massive roots for attacks and covering areas.<br />
<br />
====Complete Forme====<br />
Zygarde Complete Form is a large, humanoid Pokémon. 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 mouth that when opened, reveals five hexagons colored red, orange, white, cyan, and blue, respectively. It has a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's.<br />
<br />
Zygarde Complete Forme is Zygarde's perfected state, created when 100% of its Cells and Cores are gathered. In this form, Zygarde can fight at full power and complete its duty of protecting the ecosystem by suppressing those who willingly endanger it. Zygarde Complete Forme contains 5 Cores, one for each of its wings and its tail. Despite all of them being in a single body, each Core serves as a brain and can make decisions and act independently of the others. The orifice on its chest can radiate enough high-powered energy to destroy everything around it. Zygarde Complete Forme can freely change the shapes of the four wings and tail for a variety of roles.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160715204745/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde-complete Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Notably, the tip of its wings can form snake-like heads that can be used to attack with energy beams, propel itself, and restore an unbalanced ecosystem back to normal, as seen in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. It has also been shown to form a green, protective barrier to shield itself and its allies. The Complete Forme is only used to neutralize huge threats to the ecosystem, such as [[Lysandre]]'s [[Giant Rock]], the [[Laquium|Laquium Core]], the [[ultimate weapon]], [[Ultra Burst|Ultra]] {{Adv|Necrozma}}, and {{DL|Ange|Hyperrogue Ange Floette}}. It is powerful enough to overwhelm even {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />

====Mega Zygarde====<br />
Overall, Mega Zygarde retains most of Zygarde Complete Forme's humanoid structure, but the Cells composing its body have been strategically relocated. Notably, it has lost most, if not all, of the hexagons composing Zygarde Complete Forme's lower body, arms, and wings, exposing its light green body. As a result of this, Mega Zygarde has completely lost its wings, having seemingly replaced them with six smaller arm-like structures. On its legs, only the three hexagons on each knee remain, though they changed from symmetrical white and green to asymmetrical black and white. The lower part of Zygarde Complete Forme's chest, starting from the multicolored mouth, has also opened, giving the impression it has ripped into strands of black hexagons similar to tree roots. The green, eye-like patterns on its chest now have each a differently colored hexagon on them (one red, one blue). Underneath the chest plate, a series of five white hexagons cover the true body. White, chain-like hexagonal patterns run down Mega Zygarde's uncovered torso, arms, and legs, as well as on its back and under its feet. Its arms don't end in hands, but split into three hexagonal digits. Mega Zygarde's headpiece and tail remain mostly unchanged from its base form, only having lost the green hexagons on its face and having more of those on its tail. Its crown is lit up by a green flame, and its eyes are green as well.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is said to be born as a result of people's emotions during an unprecedented crisis, allowing it to calm the situation with its unmatched power. Its defining feature is the giant cannon held above Mega Zygarde's head by its six smaller arms. The cannon has a cylindrical shape, somewhat resembling a tree trunk, decorated with several shapes and lines similar to Zygarde 10% Forme's leash. The cannon is mostly black, with dark blue and dark red patches circling its length. At the cannon's muzzle, there is a pink symbol resembling a cross between an "X" and a "Y" surrounded by red, blue, and pink lines. Its interior features a circle, three hexagons, and a central circle, while its back has a dark green hexagon at the center. When Mega Zygarde attacks with its cannon, the muzzle pattern shines in the shape of an "X", "Y", and "Z" before opening up, unleashing a {{m|Nihil Light|beam of light that defies nature itself}}, which has been likened to the [[Z-Move]]s found in the [[Alola]] [[region]].<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"And now that I think of it... The moves that Zygarde used when it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]—they reminded me of [[Z-Moves]], like those used in the [[Alola]] region."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> This attack was powerful enough to overpower Hyperrogue Ange Floette's powered-up {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which threatened to annihilate all of [[Lumiose City]], as well as to break through the [[Laquium]] Core's defenses and heavily damage it, as seen in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]''. Mega Zygarde has been referred to as "Lumiose's Guardian"<ref>[[Research Task (HOME)|Kalos Region Tasks]]</ref> due to it saving Lumiose City from Hyperrogue Ange Floette.<br />

<br />
===Form data===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s appear in the story in some games, but they are not catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and are not included in the [[Pokédex]]; they make up Zygarde's forms and are not forms themselves.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde's only form is its 50% Forme, which was unnamed at the time. The 10% Forme and Complete Forme were introduced to the games in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. It can switch between its 10% Forme and 50% Forme using the [[Reassembly Unit]] or the [[Zygarde Cube]], and can enter its Complete Forme in {{pkmn|battle}} if it has {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme and 50% Forme can have {{a|Aura Break}} or Power Construct as their [[Ability]]. Internally, Zygarde's Ability difference is itself a separate form. This makes it impossible to change Zygarde's Ability with [[Ability Capsule]]s or [[Ability Patch]]es; the Reassembly Unit or the Zygarde Cube must be used instead.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Aura Break}}<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde can only have {{a|Aura Break}} as an [[Ability]] and has no other forms.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VII]], a Zygarde with Aura Break can be transformed by the [[Reassembly Unit]]. This machine can create a 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break or change a 10% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break to a 50% Forme Zygarde. It can also change either to a 50% Forme Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}<br />
The [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change form" function ("Change Forme" in Generation VII) 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.<br />
<br />
Any Zygarde with Power Construct will change to Complete Forme in battle if its [[HP]] drops below half. When the battle ends, it returns to its original form with the same HP it ended the battle with (within its original form's maximum HP).<br />
<br />
Zygarde has a unique form change animation when changing to its Complete Forme, which shows Zygarde Cells (represented by green hexagons) gathering to change its form.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], due to the lack of Abilities, the distinction between Zygarde with Aura Break and Zygarde with Power Construct does not exist. Instead, any 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde will change into Complete Forme when its HP is reduced to half or less, increasing its maximum HP and gaining current HP equal to the amount of maximum HP gained. If Zygarde's HP is reduced below the threshold while it is using a [[move]], it will transform when the move finishes. Zygarde is invulnerable while changing into Complete Forme. It will change back to its previous form if it is recalled while out of battle, retaining the HP it had at that time; if this is above the maximum HP of its original form, its HP will become equal to its maximum HP.<br />

Zygarde's [[base stats]] differ between its three forms. Additionally, it can only [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] when it is in its Complete Forme. If it knows the move {{m|Core Enforcer}} when it Mega Evolves, the move will be replaced with {{m|Nihil Light}} until the Mega Evolution ends.<br />

=====[[Squishy]]=====<br />
With the help of [[Mairin]]'s {{p|Chespin}}, [[Chespie]], a Zygarde 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}}. In ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', Squishy transformed into its 10% and 50% Formes to defend itself against [[Bryony]] and her subordinates, thus marking the debut of 10% Forme. In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', when [[Alva]] used his laser weapon onto the [[Nebel Plateau]], it transformed into its Complete Forme to protect it, thus marking the form's debut. Squishy is known by the code name '''Z1''' by Team Flare.<br />
<br />
=====[[Z2]]=====<br />
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]]. It was captured by Team Flare and corrupted by their [[Mega Evolution]] weapon to help them clean the planet of humans. Unlike Squishy's red core, Z2 has a blue core.<br />

<br />
=====[[White Zygarde]]=====<br />
In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', [[Gibeon]] was revealed to own a {{Shiny}} Zygarde 10% Forme. It regained access to its 50% Forme in ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', when it reunited with the [[Zygarde Cell|Cells]] it had lost in [[Laqua]].

A year later, [[Amethio]] was given a [[Zygarde Cube]], gathered the remaining Zygarde Cells, assembled a Zygarde 50% Forme, and {{pkmn2|caught}} it prior to ''[[HZ125|Battle for the Six Heroes!]]''. In ''[[HZ134|One Step Closer]]'', it assumed its Complete Forme after reuniting with the Cells left in Laqua. It is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]. It was released in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]'' to heal Laqua back to its original state.<br />
<br />

===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Zygarde (Adventures)}}<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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 arc, 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]] alongside {{adv|Solgaleo}} and {{DL|Nebby|Pokémon Adventures|Lunala}}.<br />

<br />
===Origin===<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance may be 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 {{t|Ground}} type ("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 {{wp|yokai}}, often described as being snake-like. The "crown" behind it makes it resemble depictions of {{wp|Shesha}}.<br />
<br />
According to model sheet of Zygarde Complete Forme for {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it may also form a stylized letter Z when it lifts its cape over its head to attack. This forme of Zygarde 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 depicting [[List of Pokémon by Coastal Kalos Pokédex number|Coastal Kalos]], red on the right depicting [[List of Pokémon by Mountain Kalos Pokédex number|Mountain Kalos]], and white in the middle depicting [[List of Pokémon by Central Kalos Pokédex number|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.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde's cannon might be based on either a railgun or a laser cannon. As Mega Zygarde is styled after its Complete Forme, it may also resemble a stylized Z and a mech, with its cannon posed where the "head" of the Z is placed. Similarly, many of its hexagonal patterns are also blue and red, representative of Xerneas and Yveltal, justified the X, Y and Z markings on the front of its cannon.<br />
<br />
[[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s may be based on cells or other single-celled organisms, such as {{wp|slime mold}}s and members of ''{{wp|Euglena}}'', as well as {{wp|flatworm}}s (specifically {{wp|planarian}}). The hexagons within them may represent a {{wp|cell nucleus}}. The concept of the different forms of Zygarde being composed of smaller individuals useless by themselves may be based off {{wp|Colony (biology|colonial organisms}}. Zygarde's themes of the ecological balance of life may be thematically inspired by {{wp|zygote}}s, a type of cell that forms first development stage of an animal's life span. Zygarde's [[Form|forme change]] from its snake-like appearance in 50% Forme into its human-like Complete Forme may be inspired by {{wp|nāga}}, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures that may feature human-like qualities.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
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 ''{{wp|zygote}}'', ''garde'' (French for "guard"), and ''garðr'' (Old Norse for enclosure; realm).<br />

'''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]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has three main [[#Form data|forms]]: '''10% Forme''', '''50% Forme''', and '''Complete Forme'''. Zygarde, exclusively in its Complete Forme, can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Zygarde''' using the [[Zygardite]]. All forms of Zygarde are composed of '''[[Zygarde Core]]s''' and '''[[Zygarde Cell]]s'''.<br />
<br />
Zygarde can switch between its 10% and 50% Formes at the [[Reassembly Unit]] or with the [[Zygarde Cube]]. If its [[Ability]] is {{a|Power Construct}} and its [[HP]] drops below half, then Zygarde in either form will change into its Complete Forme. <small>(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data&rarr;Form data]] for these details.)</small><br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}, having no name originally. Zygarde 10% Forme and Zygarde Complete Forme, as well as the Zygarde Cells and Zygarde Cores, were revealed in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine and later introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Mega Zygarde was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
{{ga|Zygarde}} plays a [[Game mascot|central role]] in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, serving as one of the game's key figures. A [[Squishy|Zygarde Core]] plays an important role in the ''[[S19|XY&Z]]'' arc of {{aniseries|XY}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:Zygarde Core SM concept art.png|thumb|left|170px|Zygarde Cores make up Zygarde's brain]]<br />
Zygarde is a green and black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} composed of smaller units known as [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s, who collectively define its appearance and power by assembling in different percentages. In all of Zygarde's forms, the various Cores and Cells are represented as green and black hexagons that glow when it attacks. It has also been shown to be able to fly in all of its forms.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the guardian of the [[Pokémon world]]'s ecosystem, firmly believing that it has a duty to protect it,<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: ''"It is said this [[Legendary Pokémon]] is a guardian of the ecosystem."''</ref><ref name="50%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20171003202529mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ archived])</ref><ref name="50%ZA">[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde50 Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> and is responsible for monitoring it for abnormalities from caves such as [[Kalos]]'s [[Terminus Cave]] and [[Alola]]'s [[Resolution Cave]]. It is described as a being that seeks to correct excess, find moderation, and restore balance. Zygarde can {{a|Aura Break|reverse}} the effects of {{p|Xerneas}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{p|Yveltal}}'s {{a|Dark Aura}}, thus ensuring the equilibrium of the cycle of life and death are kept in check.<ref>''"[[Kalos]]ian Legends: {{p|Xerneas}}, the Life Pokémon, and {{p|Yveltal}}, the Destruction Pokémon, both hail from the beautiful Kalos [[region]]. While they stand in opposition, the Order Pokémon Zygarde is said to help keep the ecosystem in equilibrium."'' - ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]]'', page 282</ref> Normally, it avoids getting involved in conflicts unless the ecosystem is in grave danger.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon! | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> It is also known to ask for [[human]]s to assist it in protecting the ecosystem when necessary, but can still be wary of those it does not trust. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Z". In the animated series, a Zygarde Core and two Zygarde in their 50% Forme have had the green coloration on their bodies changed to red as a result of the influence of [[Team Flare]]'s [[Mega Evolution]] energy weapon; moreover, all of their formes were depicted as capable of [[Talking Pokémon|human speech]] via telepathy.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]]s {{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}}.<br />
<br />
===Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells===<br />
Physically, a Zygarde Core and a Zygarde Cell are almost identical. Both are small, green, cell-like blobs that resemble a {{wp|planarian}}. Their bodies are gelatinous, semitranslucent, and can be segmented into three sections: a large, round head, an abdomen with a colored hexagon, and a stubby tail. They have two eyes, though one is larger and has a pupil, and can stand on their tail (a trait most associated with the Core). The difference between a Core and a Cell is subtle: Cores have a black pupil and a red hexagon embedded inside their abdomen, while these are both green on Cells.<br />
<br />
On their own, neither Cores nor Cells have the power to battle, needing to assemble in order to take action. The Cells exist in far greater numbers than the Cores, therefore making up the majority of any given form of Zygarde. However, they lack wills of their own and can only act in accordance to the orders of a Core. The Cores act as Zygarde's brains,<ref name=CoresCells>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ Zygarde's Cores and Cells | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160814031551/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ archived])</ref> and there can be up to five of them. It can also use its Cells for [[move|attacks]], such as raining them down like {{m|Thousand Arrows|arrows}} or scattering them throughout the ground in {{m|Thousand Waves|waves}} before they're recalled into its body. When Zygarde exhausts all of its power, it splits back into individual Cores and Cells and scatters all over the world, reaching even far-off lands. While in this state, they absorb the native power of said lands and may request assistance from [[human]]s in order to reassemble.<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"When Zygarde used up its strength protecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from the light of [[ultimate weapon]]... its parts scattered to far-off places, absorbing the power of those lands and seeking [[human]]s who would give it aid."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> As seen in various media, Zygarde Cells demonstrate some form of will of their own and are capable of moving independently, without a Zygarde Core commanding them.<br />

===Forms===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme, which are composed of [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s. Zygarde Complete Forme can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde.<br />

====Zygarde 10% Forme====<br />
[[File:Zygarde 10 Percent SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Concept art of Zygarde's 10% Forme]]<br />
Zygarde 10% Forme is a relatively small {{wp|Canis|canine}} Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, though its neck, muzzle, mouth, eyebrows, and left front paw are green. Additionally, it has two green hexagons on its chest and a single one on its rear. From its neck, a green ribbon-like extension comes out, next to an elongated red hexagon, giving the impression of a leash and dog tag, respectively. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils, and there is a thin white line on its forehead. Its mouth is fitted with razor-sharp fangs. On each of its legs are black 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.<br />

Zygarde's 10% Forme is assumed in cases of emergency, created when it calls and gathers a tenth of its Cells across the land when it needs to fight. Because only a single Core serves as its brain, it cannot maintain this form indefinitely, and it will eventually fall apart. Nonethless, it is skilled at close range combat, overwhelming and quickly defeating its opponents by leaping at their chests and sinking its fangs into them. It is also capable of running at speeds greater than 60 mph (100 km/h).<ref name="10%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143708/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde10 Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Concept art of Zygarde 10% Forme shows that it can wrap its "leash" around the arm of someone it trusts.<br />

<br />
====Zygarde 50% Forme====<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme is a large {{wp|Snake|serpentine}} Pokémon. 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 several small, green hexagons on its body that occasionally glow white.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 50% Forme is the result of half of its Cells and up to 3 Cores reuniting, and is considered its main form. Its power is capable of overwhelming anyone who stands in its way, but it is only at half of its full potential, and an equal amount of power waits to be assembled out in the world. There are rumors that an even greater power lies hidden within it, as it is capable of {{a|Power Construct|changing}} to a more powerful form when battling those who threaten the ecosystem.<ref name="10%SunMoon"/><ref name="50%ZA"/><ref name="50%SunMoon"/> The 50% Forme is known to be both ruthless and merciless to its foes. Its frill can be shown vibrating as it attacks. As seen in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Zygarde 50% Forme can summon and control massive roots for attacks and covering areas.<br />
<br />
====Zygarde Complete Forme====<br />
Zygarde Complete Form is a large, humanoid Pokémon. 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 mouth that when opened, reveals five hexagons colored red, orange, white, cyan, and blue, respectively. It has a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's.<br />
<br />
Zygarde Complete Forme is Zygarde's perfected state, created when 100% of its Cells and Cores are gathered. In this form, Zygarde can fight at full power and complete its duty of protecting the ecosystem by suppressing those who willingly endanger it. Zygarde Complete Forme contains 5 Cores, one for each of its wings and its tail. Despite all of them being in a single body, each Core serves as a brain and can make decisions and act independently of the others. The orifice on its chest can radiate enough high-powered energy to destroy everything around it. Zygarde Complete Forme can freely change the shapes of the four wings and tail for a variety of roles.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160715204745/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde-complete Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Notably, the tip of its wings can form snake-like heads that can be used to attack with energy beams, propel itself, and restore an unbalanced ecosystem back to normal, as seen in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. It has also been shown to form a green, protective barrier to shield itself and its allies. The Complete Forme is only used to neutralize huge threats to the ecosystem, such as [[Lysandre]]'s [[Giant Rock]], the [[Laquium|Laquium Core]], the [[ultimate weapon]], [[Ultra Burst|Ultra]] {{Adv|Necrozma}}, and {{DL|Ange|Hyperrogue Ange Floette}}. It is powerful enough to overwhelm even {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />

<br />
====Mega Zygarde====<br />
Overall, Mega Zygarde retains most of Zygarde Complete Forme's humanoid structure, but the Cells composing its body have been strategically relocated. Notably, it has lost most, if not all, of the hexagons composing Zygarde Complete Forme's lower body, arms, and wings, exposing its light green body. As a result of this, Mega Zygarde has completely lost its wings, having seemingly replaced them with six smaller arm-like structures. On its legs, only the three hexagons on each knee remain, though they changed from symmetrical white and green to asymmetrical black and white. The lower part of Zygarde Complete Forme's chest, starting from the multicolored mouth, has also opened, giving the impression it has ripped into strands of black hexagons similar to tree roots. The green, eye-like patterns on its chest now have each a differently colored hexagon on them (one red, one blue). Underneath the chest plate, a series of five white hexagons cover the true body. White, chain-like hexagonal patterns run down Mega Zygarde's uncovered torso, arms, and legs, as well as on its back and under its feet. Its arms don't end in hands, but split into three hexagonal digits. Mega Zygarde's headpiece and tail remain mostly unchanged from its base form, only having lost the green hexagons on its face and having more of those on its tail. Its crown is lit up by a green flame, and its eyes are green as well.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is said to be born as a result of people's emotions during an unprecedented crisis, allowing it to calm the situation with its unmatched power. Its defining feature is the giant cannon held above Mega Zygarde's head by its six smaller arms. The cannon has a cylindrical shape, somewhat resembling a tree trunk, decorated with several shapes and lines similar to Zygarde 10% Forme's leash. The cannon is mostly black, with dark blue and dark red patches circling its length. At the cannon's muzzle, there is a pink symbol resembling a cross between an "X" and a "Y" surrounded by red, blue, and pink lines. Its interior features a circle, three hexagons, and a central circle, while its back has a dark green hexagon at the center. When Mega Zygarde attacks with its cannon, the muzzle pattern shines in the shape of an "X", "Y", and "Z" before opening up, unleashing a {{m|Nihil Light|beam of light that defies nature itself}}, which has been likened to the [[Z-Move]]s found in the [[Alola]] [[region]].<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"And now that I think of it... The moves that Zygarde used when it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]—they reminded me of [[Z-Moves]], like those used in the [[Alola]] region."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> This attack was powerful enough to overpower Hyperrogue Ange Floette's powered-up {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which threatened to annihilate all of [[Lumiose City]], as well as to break through the [[Laquium]] Core's defenses and heavily damage it, as seen in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]''. Mega Zygarde has been referred to as "Lumiose's Guardian"<ref>[[Research Task (HOME)|Kalos Region Tasks]]</ref> due to it saving Lumiose City from Hyperrogue Ange Floette.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is the only known Pokémon capable of using the move {{m|Nihil Light}}, an upgraded version of Core Enforcer.<br />

===Form data===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s appear in the story in some games, but they are not catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and are not included in the [[Pokédex]]; they make up Zygarde's forms and are not forms themselves.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde's only form is its 50% Forme, which was unnamed at the time. The 10% Forme and Complete Forme were introduced to the games in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. It can switch between its 10% Forme and 50% Forme using the [[Reassembly Unit]] or the [[Zygarde Cube]], and can enter its Complete Forme in {{pkmn|battle}} if it has {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme and 50% Forme can have {{a|Aura Break}} or Power Construct as their [[Ability]]. Internally, Zygarde's Ability difference is itself a separate form. This makes it impossible to change Zygarde's Ability with [[Ability Capsule]]s or [[Ability Patch]]es; the Reassembly Unit or the Zygarde Cube must be used instead.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Aura Break}}<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde can only have {{a|Aura Break}} as an [[Ability]] and has no other forms.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VII]], a Zygarde with Aura Break can be transformed by the [[Reassembly Unit]]. This machine can create a 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break or change a 10% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break to a 50% Forme Zygarde. It can also change either to a 50% Forme Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}<br />
The [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change form" function ("Change Forme" in Generation VII) 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.<br />
<br />
Any Zygarde with Power Construct will change to Complete Forme in battle if its [[HP]] drops below half. When the battle ends, it returns to its original form with the same HP it ended the battle with (within its original form's maximum HP).<br />
<br />
Zygarde has a unique form change animation when changing to its Complete Forme, which shows Zygarde Cells (represented by green hexagons) gathering to change its form.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], due to the lack of Abilities, the distinction between Zygarde with Aura Break and Zygarde with Power Construct does not exist. Instead, any 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde will change into Complete Forme when its HP is reduced to half or less, increasing its maximum HP and gaining current HP equal to the amount of maximum HP gained. If Zygarde's HP is reduced below the threshold while it is using a [[move]], it will transform when the move finishes. Zygarde is invulnerable while changing into Complete Forme. It will change back to its previous form if it is recalled while out of battle, retaining the HP it had at that time; if this is above the maximum HP of its original form, its HP will become equal to its maximum HP.<br />

Zygarde's [[base stats]] differ between its three forms. Additionally, it can only [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] when it is in its Complete Forme. If it knows the move {{m|Core Enforcer}} when it Mega Evolves, the move will be replaced with {{m|Nihil Light}} until the Mega Evolution ends.<br />

It traveled in Bonnie's bag alongside {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. In ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', Squishy transformed into its 10% and 50% Formes to defend itself against [[Bryony]] and her subordinates, thus marking the debut of 10% Forme. In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', when [[Alva]] used his laser weapon onto the [[Nebel Plateau]], it transformed into its Complete Forme to protect it, thus marking the form's debut.

===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Zygarde (Adventures)}}<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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 arc, 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]] alongside {{adv|Solgaleo}} and {{DL|Nebby|Pokémon Adventures|Lunala}}.<br />

<br />
===Origin===<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance may be 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 {{t|Ground}} type ("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 {{wp|yokai}}, often described as being snake-like. The "crown" behind it makes it resemble depictions of {{wp|Shesha}}.<br />
<br />
According to model sheet of Zygarde Complete Forme for {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it may also form a stylized letter Z when it lifts its cape over its head to attack. This forme of Zygarde 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 depicting [[List of Pokémon by Coastal Kalos Pokédex number|Coastal Kalos]], red on the right depicting [[List of Pokémon by Mountain Kalos Pokédex number|Mountain Kalos]], and white in the middle depicting [[List of Pokémon by Central Kalos Pokédex number|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.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde's cannon might be based on either a railgun or a laser cannon. As Mega Zygarde is styled after its Complete Forme, it may also resemble a stylized Z and a mech, with its cannon posed where the "head" of the Z is placed. Similarly, many of its hexagonal patterns are also blue and red, representative of Xerneas and Yveltal, justified the X, Y and Z markings on the front of its cannon.<br />
<br />
[[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s may be based on cells or other single-celled organisms, such as {{wp|slime mold}}s and members of ''{{wp|Euglena}}'', as well as {{wp|flatworm}}s (specifically {{wp|planarian}}). The hexagons within them may represent a {{wp|cell nucleus}}. The concept of the different forms of Zygarde being composed of smaller individuals useless by themselves may be based off {{wp|Colony (biology|colonial organisms}}. Zygarde's themes of the ecological balance of life may be thematically inspired by {{wp|zygote}}s, a type of cell that forms first development stage of an animal's life span. Zygarde's [[Form|forme change]] from its snake-like appearance in 50% Forme into its human-like Complete Forme may be inspired by {{wp|nāga}}, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures that may feature human-like qualities.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
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 ''{{wp|zygote}}'', ''garde'' (French for "guard"), and ''garðr'' (Old Norse for enclosure; realm).<br />

'''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]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has three main [[#Form data|forms]]: '''10% Forme''', '''50% Forme''', and '''Complete Forme'''. Zygarde, exclusively in its Complete Forme, can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Zygarde''' using the [[Zygardite]]. All forms of Zygarde are composed of '''[[Zygarde Core]]s''' and '''[[Zygarde Cell]]s'''.<br />
<br />
Zygarde can switch between its 10% and 50% Formes at the [[Reassembly Unit]] or with the [[Zygarde Cube]]. If its [[Ability]] is {{a|Power Construct}} and its [[HP]] drops below half, then Zygarde in either form will change into its Complete Forme. <small>(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data&rarr;Form data]] for these details.)</small><br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}, having no name originally. Zygarde 10% Forme and Zygarde Complete Forme, as well as the Zygarde Cells and Zygarde Cores, were revealed in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine and later introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Mega Zygarde was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
{{ga|Zygarde}} plays a [[Game mascot|central role]] in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, serving as one of the game's key figures. A [[Squishy|Zygarde Core]] plays an important role in the ''[[S19|XY&Z]]'' arc of {{aniseries|XY}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:Zygarde Core SM concept art.png|thumb|left|170px|Zygarde Cores make up Zygarde's brain]]<br />
Zygarde is a green and black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} composed of smaller units known as [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s, who collectively define its appearance and power by assembling in different percentages. In all of Zygarde's forms, the various Cores and Cells are represented as green and black hexagons that glow when it attacks. It has also been shown to be able to fly in all of its forms.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the guardian of the [[Pokémon world]]'s ecosystem, firmly believing that it has a duty to protect it,<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: ''"It is said this [[Legendary Pokémon]] is a guardian of the ecosystem."''</ref><ref name="50%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20171003202529mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ archived])</ref><ref name="50%ZA">[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde50 Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> and is responsible for monitoring it for abnormalities from caves such as [[Kalos]]'s [[Terminus Cave]] and [[Alola]]'s [[Resolution Cave]]. It is described as a being that seeks to correct excess, find moderation, and restore balance. Zygarde can {{a|Aura Break|reverse}} the effects of {{p|Xerneas}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{p|Yveltal}}'s {{a|Dark Aura}}, thus ensuring the equilibrium of the cycle of life and death are kept in check.<ref>''"[[Kalos]]ian Legends: {{p|Xerneas}}, the Life Pokémon, and {{p|Yveltal}}, the Destruction Pokémon, both hail from the beautiful Kalos [[region]]. While they stand in opposition, the Order Pokémon Zygarde is said to help keep the ecosystem in equilibrium."'' - ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]]'', page 282</ref> Normally, it avoids getting involved in conflicts unless the ecosystem is in grave danger.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon! | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> It is also known to ask for [[human]]s to assist it in protecting the ecosystem when necessary, but can still be wary of those it does not trust. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Z". In the animated series, a Zygarde Core and two Zygarde in their 50% Forme have had the green coloration on their bodies changed to red as a result of the influence of [[Team Flare]]'s [[Mega Evolution]] energy weapon; moreover, all of their formes were depicted as capable of [[Talking Pokémon|human speech]] via telepathy.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]]s {{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}}.<br />
<br />
===Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells===<br />
Physically, a Zygarde Core and a Zygarde Cell are almost identical. Both are small, green, cell-like blobs that resemble a {{wp|planarian}}. Their bodies are gelatinous, semitranslucent, and can be segmented into three sections: a large, round head, an abdomen with a colored hexagon, and a stubby tail. They have two eyes, though one is larger and has a pupil, and can stand on their tail (a trait most associated with the Core). The difference between a Core and a Cell is subtle: Cores have a black pupil and a red hexagon embedded inside their abdomen, while these are both green on Cells.<br />
<br />
On their own, neither Cores nor Cells have the power to battle, needing to assemble in order to take action. The Cells exist in far greater numbers than the Cores, therefore making up the majority of any given form of Zygarde. However, they lack wills of their own and can only act in accordance to the orders of a Core. The Cores act as Zygarde's brain,<ref name=CoresCells>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ Zygarde's Cores and Cells | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160814031551/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ archived])</ref> and Zygarde may have up to five of them. It can also use its Cells for [[move|attacks]], such as raining them down like {{m|Thousand Arrows|arrows}} or scattering them throughout the ground in {{m|Thousand Waves|waves}} before they're recalled into its body. When Zygarde exhausts all of its power, it splits back into individual Cores and Cells and scatters all over the world, reaching even far-off lands. While in this state, they absorb the native power of said lands and may request assistance from [[human]]s in order to reassemble.<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"When Zygarde used up its strength protecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from the light of [[ultimate weapon]]... its parts scattered to far-off places, absorbing the power of those lands and seeking [[human]]s who would give it aid."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> As seen in various media, Zygarde Cells demonstrate some form of will of their own and are capable of moving independently, without a Zygarde Core commanding them.<br />

===Forms===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme, which are composed of [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s. Zygarde Complete Forme can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde.<br />

====Zygarde 10% Forme====<br />
[[File:Zygarde 10 Percent SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Concept art of Zygarde's 10% Forme]]<br />
Zygarde 10% Forme is a relatively small {{wp|Canis|canine}} Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, though its neck, muzzle, mouth, eyebrows, and left front paw are green. Additionally, it has two green hexagons on its chest and a single one on its rear. From its neck, a green ribbon-like extension comes out, next to an elongated red hexagon, giving the impression of a leash and dog tag, respectively. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils, and there is a thin white line on its forehead. Its mouth is fitted with razor-sharp fangs. On each of its legs are black 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.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme is assumed in cases of emergency, created when it calls and gathers a tenth of its Cells across the land when it needs to fight. Because only a single Core serves as its brain, it cannot maintain this form indefinitely, and it will eventually fall apart. Nonethless, it is skilled at close range combat, overwhelming and quickly defeating its opponents by leaping at their chests and sinking its fangs into them. It is also capable of running at speeds greater than 60 mph (100 km/h).<ref name="10%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143708/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde10 Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Concept art of Zygarde 10% Forme shows that it can wrap its "leash" around the arm of someone it trusts.<br />
{{left clear}}<br />
<br />
====Zygarde 50% Forme====<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme is a large {{wp|Snake|serpentine}} Pokémon. 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 several small, green hexagons on its body that occasionally glow white.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 50% Forme is the result of half of its Cells and up to 3 Cores reuniting, and is considered its main form. Its power is capable of overwhelming anyone who stands in its way, but it is only at half of its full potential, and an equal amount of power waits to be assembled out in the world. There are rumors that an even greater power lies hidden within it, as it is capable of {{a|Power Construct|changing}} to a more powerful form when battling those who threaten the ecosystem.<ref name="10%SunMoon"/><ref name="50%ZA"/><ref name="50%SunMoon"/> The 50% Forme is known to be both ruthless and merciless to its foes. Its frill can be shown vibrating as it attacks. As seen in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Zygarde 50% Forme can summon and control massive roots for attacks and covering areas.<br />
<br />
====Zygarde Complete Forme====<br />
Zygarde Complete Form is a large, humanoid Pokémon. 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 mouth that when opened, reveals five hexagons colored red, orange, white, cyan, and blue, respectively. It has a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's.<br />
<br />
Zygarde Complete Forme is Zygarde's perfected state, created when 100% of its Cells and Cores are gathered. In this form, Zygarde can fight at full power and complete its duty of protecting the ecosystem by suppressing those who willingly endanger it. Zygarde Complete Forme contains 5 Cores, one for each of its wings and its tail. Despite all of them being in a single body, each Core serves as a brain and can make decisions and act independently of the others. The orifice on its chest can radiate enough high-powered energy to destroy everything around it. Zygarde Complete Forme can freely change the shapes of the four wings and tail for a variety of roles.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160715204745/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde-complete Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Notably, the tip of its wings can form snake-like heads that can be used to attack with energy beams, propel itself, and restore an unbalanced ecosystem back to normal, as seen in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. It has also been shown to form a green, protective barrier to shield itself and its allies. The Complete Forme is only used to neutralize huge threats to the ecosystem, such as [[Lysandre]]'s [[Giant Rock]], the [[Laquium|Laquium Core]], the [[ultimate weapon]], [[Ultra Burst|Ultra]] {{Adv|Necrozma}}, and {{DL|Ange|Hyperrogue Ange Floette}}. It is powerful enough to overwhelm even {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />

<br />
====Mega Zygarde====<br />
Overall, Mega Zygarde retains most of Zygarde Complete Forme's humanoid structure, but the Cells composing its body have been strategically relocated. Notably, it has lost most, if not all, of the hexagons composing Zygarde Complete Forme's lower body, arms, and wings, exposing its light green body. As a result of this, Mega Zygarde has completely lost its wings, having seemingly replaced them with six smaller arm-like structures. On its legs, only the three hexagons on each knee remain, though they changed from symmetrical white and green to asymmetrical black and white. The lower part of Zygarde Complete Forme's chest, starting from the multicolored mouth, has also opened, giving the impression it has ripped into strands of black hexagons similar to tree roots. The green, eye-like patterns on its chest now have each a differently colored hexagon on them (one red, one blue). Underneath the chest plate, a series of five white hexagons cover the true body. White, chain-like hexagonal patterns run down Mega Zygarde's uncovered torso, arms, and legs, as well as on its back and under its feet. Its arms don't end in hands, but split into three hexagonal digits. Mega Zygarde's headpiece and tail remain mostly unchanged from its base form, only having lost the green hexagons on its face and having more of those on its tail. Its crown is lit up by a green flame, and its eyes are green as well.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is said to be born as a result of people's emotions during an unprecedented crisis, allowing it to calm the situation with its unmatched power. Its defining feature is the giant cannon held above Mega Zygarde's head by its six smaller arms. The cannon has a cylindrical shape, somewhat resembling a tree trunk, decorated with several shapes and lines similar to Zygarde 10% Forme's leash. The cannon is mostly black, with dark blue and dark red patches circling its length. At the cannon's muzzle, there is a pink symbol resembling a cross between an "X" and a "Y" surrounded by red, blue, and pink lines. Its interior features a circle, three hexagons, and a central circle, while its back has a dark green hexagon at the center. When Mega Zygarde attacks with its cannon, the muzzle pattern shines in the shape of an "X", "Y", and "Z" before opening up, unleashing a {{m|Nihil Light|beam of light that defies nature itself}}, which has been likened to the [[Z-Move]]s found in the [[Alola]] [[region]].<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"And now that I think of it... The moves that Zygarde used when it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]—they reminded me of [[Z-Moves]], like those used in the [[Alola]] region."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> This attack was powerful enough to overpower Hyperrogue Ange Floette's powered-up {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which threatened to annihilate all of [[Lumiose City]], as well as to break through the [[Laquium]] Core's defenses and heavily damage it, as seen in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]''. Mega Zygarde has been referred to as "Lumiose's Guardian"<ref>[[Research Task (HOME)|Kalos Region Tasks]]</ref> due to it saving Lumiose City from Hyperrogue Ange Floette.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is the only known Pokémon capable of using the move {{m|Nihil Light}}, an upgraded version of Core Enforcer.<br />

===Form data===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s appear in the story in some games, but they are not catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and are not included in the [[Pokédex]]; they make up Zygarde's forms and are not forms themselves.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde's only form is its 50% Forme, which was unnamed at the time. The 10% Forme and Complete Forme were introduced to the games in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. It can switch between its 10% Forme and 50% Forme using the [[Reassembly Unit]] or the [[Zygarde Cube]], and can enter its Complete Forme in {{pkmn|battle}} if it has {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme and 50% Forme can have {{a|Aura Break}} or Power Construct as their [[Ability]]. Internally, Zygarde's Ability difference is itself a separate form. This makes it impossible to change Zygarde's Ability with [[Ability Capsule]]s or [[Ability Patch]]es; the Reassembly Unit or the Zygarde Cube must be used instead.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Aura Break}}<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde can only have {{a|Aura Break}} as an [[Ability]] and has no other forms.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VII]], a Zygarde with Aura Break can be transformed by the [[Reassembly Unit]]. This machine can create a 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break or change a 10% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break to a 50% Forme Zygarde. It can also change either to a 50% Forme Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}<br />
The [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change form" function ("Change Forme" in Generation VII) 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.<br />
<br />
Any Zygarde with Power Construct will change to Complete Forme in battle if its [[HP]] drops below half. When the battle ends, it returns to its original form with the same HP it ended the battle with (within its original form's maximum HP).<br />
<br />
Zygarde has a unique form change animation when changing to its Complete Forme, which shows Zygarde Cells (represented by green hexagons) gathering to change its form.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], due to the lack of Abilities, the distinction between Zygarde with Aura Break and Zygarde with Power Construct does not exist. Instead, any 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde will change into Complete Forme when its HP is reduced to half or less, increasing its maximum HP and gaining current HP equal to the amount of maximum HP gained. If Zygarde's HP is reduced below the threshold while it is using a [[move]], it will transform when the move finishes. Zygarde is invulnerable while changing into Complete Forme. It will change back to its previous form if it is recalled while out of battle, retaining the HP it had at that time; if this is above the maximum HP of its original form, its HP will become equal to its maximum HP.<br />

Zygarde's [[base stats]] differ between its three forms. Additionally, it can only [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] when it is in its Complete Forme. If it knows the move {{m|Core Enforcer}} when it Mega Evolves, the move will be replaced with {{m|Nihil Light}} until the Mega Evolution ends.<br />

===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Zygarde (Adventures)}}<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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 arc, 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]] alongside {{adv|Solgaleo}} and {{DL|Nebby|Pokémon Adventures|Lunala}}.<br />

<br />
===Origin===<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance may be 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 {{t|Ground}} type ("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 {{wp|yokai}}, often described as being snake-like. The "crown" behind it makes it resemble depictions of {{wp|Shesha}}.<br />
<br />
According to model sheet of Zygarde Complete Forme for {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it may also form a stylized letter Z when it lifts its cape over its head to attack. This forme of Zygarde 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 depicting [[List of Pokémon by Coastal Kalos Pokédex number|Coastal Kalos]], red on the right depicting [[List of Pokémon by Mountain Kalos Pokédex number|Mountain Kalos]], and white in the middle depicting [[List of Pokémon by Central Kalos Pokédex number|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.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde's cannon might be based on either a railgun or a laser cannon. As Mega Zygarde is styled after its Complete Forme, it may also resemble a stylized Z and a mech, with its cannon posed where the "head" of the Z is placed. Similarly, many of its hexagonal patterns are also blue and red, representative of Xerneas and Yveltal, justified the X, Y and Z markings on the front of its cannon.<br />
<br />
[[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s may be based on cells or other single-celled organisms, such as {{wp|slime mold}}s and members of ''{{wp|Euglena}}'', as well as {{wp|flatworm}}s (specifically {{wp|planarian}}). The hexagons within them may represent a {{wp|cell nucleus}}. The concept of the different forms of Zygarde being composed of smaller individuals useless by themselves may be based off {{wp|Colony (biology|colonial organisms}}. Zygarde's themes of the ecological balance of life may be thematically inspired by {{wp|zygote}}s, a type of cell that forms first development stage of an animal's life span. Zygarde's [[Form|forme change]] from its snake-like appearance in 50% Forme into its human-like Complete Forme may be inspired by {{wp|nāga}}, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures that may feature human-like qualities.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
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 ''{{wp|zygote}}'', ''garde'' (French for "guard"), and ''garðr'' (Old Norse for enclosure; realm).<br />

'''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]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has three main [[#Form data|forms]]: '''10% Forme''', '''50% Forme''', and '''Complete Forme'''. Zygarde, exclusively in its Complete Forme, can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Zygarde''' using the [[Zygardite]]. All forms of Zygarde are composed of '''[[Zygarde Core]]s''' and '''[[Zygarde Cell]]s'''.<br />
<br />
Zygarde can switch between its 10% and 50% Formes at the [[Reassembly Unit]] or with the [[Zygarde Cube]]. If its [[Ability]] is {{a|Power Construct}} and its [[HP]] drops below half, then Zygarde in either form will change into its Complete Forme. <small>(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data&rarr;Form data]] for these details.)</small><br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}, having no name originally. Zygarde 10% Forme and Zygarde Complete Forme, as well as the Zygarde Cells and Zygarde Cores, were revealed in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine and later introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Mega Zygarde was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
{{ga|Zygarde}} plays a [[Game mascot|central role]] in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, serving as one of the game's key figures. A [[Squishy|Zygarde Core]] plays an important role in the ''[[S19|XY&Z]]'' arc of {{aniseries|XY}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:Zygarde Core SM concept art.png|thumb|left|170px|Zygarde Cores make up Zygarde's brain]]<br />
Zygarde is a green and black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} composed of smaller units known as [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s, who collectively define its appearance and power by assembling in different percentages. In all of Zygarde's forms, the various Cores and Cells are represented as green and black hexagons that glow when it attacks. It has also been shown to be able to fly in all of its forms.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the guardian of the [[Pokémon world]]'s ecosystem, firmly believing that it has a duty to protect it,<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: ''"It is said this [[Legendary Pokémon]] is a guardian of the ecosystem."''</ref><ref name="50%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20171003202529mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ archived])</ref><ref name="50%ZA">[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde50 Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> and is responsible for monitoring it for abnormalities from caves such as [[Kalos]]'s [[Terminus Cave]] and [[Alola]]'s [[Resolution Cave]]. It is described as a being that seeks to correct excess, find moderation, and restore balance. Zygarde can {{a|Aura Break|reverse}} the effects of {{p|Xerneas}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{p|Yveltal}}'s {{a|Dark Aura}}, thus ensuring the equilibrium of the cycle of life and death are kept in check.<ref>''"[[Kalos]]ian Legends: {{p|Xerneas}}, the Life Pokémon, and {{p|Yveltal}}, the Destruction Pokémon, both hail from the beautiful Kalos [[region]]. While they stand in opposition, the Order Pokémon Zygarde is said to help keep the ecosystem in equilibrium."'' - ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]]'', page 282</ref> Normally, it avoids getting involved in conflicts unless the ecosystem is in grave danger.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon! | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> It is also known to ask for [[human]]s to assist it in protecting the ecosystem when necessary, but can still be wary of those it does not trust. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Z". In the animated series, a Zygarde Core and two Zygarde in their 50% Forme have had the green coloration on their bodies changed to red as a result of the influence of [[Team Flare]]'s [[Mega Evolution]] energy weapon; moreover, all of their formes were depicted as capable of [[Talking Pokémon|human speech]] via telepathy.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]]s {{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}}.<br />
<br />
===Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells===<br />

|}<br />
Physically, a Zygarde Core and a Zygarde Cell are almost identical. Both are small, green, cell-like blobs that resemble a {{wp|planarian}}. Their bodies are gelatinous, semitranslucent, and can be segmented into three sections: a large, round head, an abdomen with a colored hexagon, and a stubby tail. They have two eyes, though one is larger and has a pupil, and can stand on their tail (a trait most associated with the Core). The difference between a Core and a Cell is subtle: Cores have a black pupil and a red hexagon embedded inside their abdomen, while these are both green on Cells.<br />
<br />
On their own, neither Cores nor Cells have the power to battle, needing to assemble in order to take action. The Cells exist in far greater numbers than the Cores, therefore making up the majority of any given form of Zygarde. However, they lack wills of their own and can only act in accordance to the orders of a Core. The Cores act as Zygarde's brain,<ref name=CoresCells>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ Zygarde's Cores and Cells | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160814031551/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ archived])</ref> and Zygarde may have up to five of them. It can also use its Cells for [[move|attacks]], such as raining them down like {{m|Thousand Arrows|arrows}} or scattering them throughout the ground in {{m|Thousand Waves|waves}} before they're recalled into its body. When Zygarde exhausts all of its power, it splits back into individual Cores and Cells and scatters all over the world, reaching even far-off lands. While in this state, they absorb the native power of said lands and may request assistance from [[human]]s in order to reassemble.<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"When Zygarde used up its strength protecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from the light of [[ultimate weapon]]... its parts scattered to far-off places, absorbing the power of those lands and seeking [[human]]s who would give it aid."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> As seen in various media, Zygarde Cells demonstrate some form of will of their own and are capable of moving independently, without a Zygarde Core commanding them.<br />
<br />
===Forms===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme, which are composed of [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s. Zygarde Complete Forme can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde.<br />

====Zygarde 10% Forme====<br />
[[File:Zygarde 10 Percent SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Concept art of Zygarde's 10% Forme]]<br />
Zygarde 10% Forme is a relatively small {{wp|Canis|canine}} Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, though its neck, muzzle, mouth, eyebrows, and left front paw are green. Additionally, it has two green hexagons on its chest and a single one on its rear. From its neck, a green ribbon-like extension comes out, next to an elongated red hexagon, giving the impression of a leash and dog tag, respectively. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils, and there is a thin white line on its forehead. Its mouth is fitted with razor-sharp fangs. On each of its legs are black 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.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme is assumed in cases of emergency, created when it calls and gathers a tenth of its Cells across the land when it needs to fight. Because only a single Core serves as its brain, it cannot maintain this form indefinitely, and it will eventually fall apart. Nonethless, it is skilled at close range combat, overwhelming and quickly defeating its opponents by leaping at their chests and sinking its fangs into them. It is also capable of running at speeds greater than 60 mph (100 km/h).<ref name="10%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143708/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde10 Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Concept art of Zygarde 10% Forme shows that it can wrap its "leash" around the arm of someone it trusts.<br />
{{left clear}}<br />
<br />
====Zygarde 50% Forme====<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme is a large {{wp|Snake|serpentine}} Pokémon. 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 several small, green hexagons on its body that occasionally glow white.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 50% Forme is the result of half of its Cells and up to 3 Cores reuniting, and is considered its main form. Its power is capable of overwhelming anyone who stands in its way, but it is only at half of its full potential, and an equal amount of power waits to be assembled out in the world. There are rumors that an even greater power lies hidden within it, as it is capable of {{a|Power Construct|changing}} to a more powerful form when battling those who threaten the ecosystem.<ref name="10%SunMoon"/><ref name="50%ZA"/><ref name="50%SunMoon"/> The 50% Forme is known to be both ruthless and merciless to its foes. Its frill can be shown vibrating as it attacks. As seen in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Zygarde 50% Forme can summon and control massive roots for attacks and covering areas.<br />
<br />
====Zygarde Complete Forme====<br />
Zygarde Complete Form is a large, humanoid Pokémon. 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 mouth that when opened, reveals five hexagons colored red, orange, white, cyan, and blue, respectively. It has a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's.<br />
<br />
Zygarde Complete Forme is Zygarde's perfected state, created when 100% of its Cells and Cores are gathered. In this form, Zygarde can fight at full power and complete its duty of protecting the ecosystem by suppressing those who willingly endanger it. Zygarde Complete Forme contains 5 Cores, one for each of its wings and its tail. Despite all of them being in a single body, each Core serves as a brain and can make decisions and act independently of the others. The orifice on its chest can radiate enough high-powered energy to destroy everything around it. Zygarde Complete Forme can freely change the shapes of the four wings and tail for a variety of roles.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160715204745/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde-complete Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Notably, the tip of its wings can form snake-like heads that can be used to attack with energy beams, propel itself, and restore an unbalanced ecosystem back to normal, as seen in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. It has also been shown to form a green, protective barrier to shield itself and its allies. The Complete Forme is only used to neutralize huge threats to the ecosystem, such as [[Lysandre]]'s [[Giant Rock]], the [[Laquium|Laquium Core]], the [[ultimate weapon]], [[Ultra Burst|Ultra]] {{Adv|Necrozma}}, and {{DL|Ange|Hyperrogue Ange Floette}}. It is powerful enough to overwhelm even {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />

<br />
====Mega Zygarde====<br />
Overall, Mega Zygarde retains most of Zygarde Complete Forme's humanoid structure, but the Cells composing its body have been strategically relocated. Notably, it has lost most, if not all, of the hexagons composing Zygarde Complete Forme's lower body, arms, and wings, exposing its light green body. As a result of this, Mega Zygarde has completely lost its wings, having seemingly replaced them with six smaller arm-like structures. On its legs, only the three hexagons on each knee remain, though they changed from symmetrical white and green to asymmetrical black and white. The lower part of Zygarde Complete Forme's chest, starting from the multicolored mouth, has also opened, giving the impression it has ripped into strands of black hexagons similar to tree roots. The green, eye-like patterns on its chest now have each a differently colored hexagon on them (one red, one blue). Underneath the chest plate, a series of five white hexagons cover the true body. White, chain-like hexagonal patterns run down Mega Zygarde's uncovered torso, arms, and legs, as well as on its back and under its feet. Its arms don't end in hands, but split into three hexagonal digits. Mega Zygarde's headpiece and tail remain mostly unchanged from its base form, only having lost the green hexagons on its face and having more of those on its tail. Its crown is lit up by a green flame, and its eyes are green as well.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is said to be born as a result of people's emotions during an unprecedented crisis, allowing it to calm the situation with its unmatched power. Its defining feature is the giant cannon held above Mega Zygarde's head by its six smaller arms. The cannon has a cylindrical shape, somewhat resembling a tree trunk, decorated with several shapes and lines similar to Zygarde 10% Forme's leash. The cannon is mostly black, with dark blue and dark red patches circling its length. At the cannon's muzzle, there is a pink symbol resembling a cross between an "X" and a "Y" surrounded by red, blue, and pink lines. Its interior features a circle, three hexagons, and a central circle, while its back has a dark green hexagon at the center. When Mega Zygarde attacks with its cannon, the muzzle pattern shines in the shape of an "X", "Y", and "Z" before opening up, unleashing a {{m|Nihil Light|beam of light that defies nature itself}}, which has been likened to the [[Z-Move]]s found in the [[Alola]] [[region]].<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"And now that I think of it... The moves that Zygarde used when it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]—they reminded me of [[Z-Moves]], like those used in the [[Alola]] region."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> This attack was powerful enough to overpower Hyperrogue Ange Floette's powered-up {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which threatened to annihilate all of [[Lumiose City]], as well as to break through the [[Laquium]] Core's defenses and heavily damage it, as seen in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]''. Mega Zygarde has been referred to as "Lumiose's Guardian"<ref>[[Research Task (HOME)|Kalos Region Tasks]]</ref> due to it saving Lumiose City from Hyperrogue Ange Floette.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is the only known Pokémon capable of using the move {{m|Nihil Light}}, an upgraded version of Core Enforcer.<br />

<br />
===Form data===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s appear in the story in some games, but they are not catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and are not included in the [[Pokédex]]; they make up Zygarde's forms and are not forms themselves.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde's only form is its 50% Forme, which was unnamed at the time. The 10% Forme and Complete Forme were introduced to the games in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. It can switch between its 10% Forme and 50% Forme using the [[Reassembly Unit]] or the [[Zygarde Cube]], and can enter its Complete Forme in {{pkmn|battle}} if it has {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme and 50% Forme can have {{a|Aura Break}} or Power Construct as their [[Ability]]. Internally, Zygarde's Ability difference is itself a separate form. This makes it impossible to change Zygarde's Ability with [[Ability Capsule]]s or [[Ability Patch]]es; the Reassembly Unit or the Zygarde Cube must be used instead.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Aura Break}}<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde can only have {{a|Aura Break}} as an [[Ability]] and has no other forms.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VII]], a Zygarde with Aura Break can be transformed by the [[Reassembly Unit]]. This machine can create a 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break or change a 10% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break to a 50% Forme Zygarde. It can also change either to a 50% Forme Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}<br />
The [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change form" function ("Change Forme" in Generation VII) 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.<br />
<br />
Any Zygarde with Power Construct will change to Complete Forme in battle if its [[HP]] drops below half. When the battle ends, it returns to its original form with the same HP it ended the battle with (within its original form's maximum HP).<br />
<br />
Zygarde has a unique form change animation when changing to its Complete Forme, which shows Zygarde Cells (represented by green hexagons) gathering to change its form.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], due to the lack of Abilities, the distinction between Zygarde with Aura Break and Zygarde with Power Construct does not exist. Instead, any 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde will change into Complete Forme when its HP is reduced to half or less, increasing its maximum HP and gaining current HP equal to the amount of maximum HP gained. If Zygarde's HP is reduced below the threshold while it is using a [[move]], it will transform when the move finishes. Zygarde is invulnerable while changing into Complete Forme. It will change back to its previous form if it is recalled while out of battle, retaining the HP it had at that time; if this is above the maximum HP of its original form, its HP will become equal to its maximum HP.<br />

Zygarde's [[base stats]] differ between its three forms. Additionally, it can only [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] when it is in its Complete Forme. If it knows the move {{m|Core Enforcer}} when it Mega Evolves, the move will be replaced with {{m|Nihil Light}} until the Mega Evolution ends.<br />

It traveled in Bonnie's bag alongside {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. In ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', Squishy transformed into its 10% and 50% Formes to defend itself against [[Bryony]] and her subordinates, thus marking the debut of 10% Forme. In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', when [[Alva]] used his laser weapon onto the [[Nebel Plateau]], it transformed into its Complete Forme to protect it, thus marking the form's debut.

===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Zygarde (Adventures)}}<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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 arc, 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]] alongside {{adv|Solgaleo}} and {{DL|Nebby|Pokémon Adventures|Lunala}}.<br />

Zygarde's 50% Forme and Complete Forme appear as {{sbw|Spirits}}.<br />
<br />
==Trivia== <br />
* Zygarde is currently the last Pokémon in [[List of Pokémon by name|alphabetical order]].<br />
* Zygarde is the only Pokémon: <br />
** That has two standard {{Abilities}}, but does not have a [[Hidden Ability]].<br />
** Able to change forms that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]].<br />
** Whose [[base stat]] total increases by 70 points when Mega Evolving, rather than by at least 100 points.<br />
* Zygarde Complete Forme and Mega Zygarde are [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|the only Pokémon]] with [[base stat total]]s of 708 and 778, respectively.<br />
* Zygarde, in both its Complete and Mega forms, has the highest base {{stat|HP}} [[stat]] of all {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.<br />
* Mega Zygarde has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all Pokémon.<br />
** The Special Attack increase is the highest base stat increase of all Mega Evolutions, being boosted by 125 points.<br />
* Mega Zygarde is the only Mega-Evolved Pokémon whose moveset changes when it Mega Evolves, with {{m|Nihil Light}} replacing {{m|Core Enforcer}}.<br />
* Despite Zygarde's 10% Forme and Complete Forme not being present in the [[Generation VI]] games, they have [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] for these games in [[Pokémon Bank]] and [[Pokémon HOME]]. These entries are identical to those of the 50% Forme.<br />
* Mega Zygarde is the only Mega-Evolved Pokémon introduced in the base game of {{g|Legends: Z-A}} to not be present in {{g|Champions}} as of [[Regulation Set M-B]].<br />
* The [[Zygarde Core]] and Zygarde Complete Forme were first shown in a preview for ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'' at the end of ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance may be 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 {{t|Ground}} type ("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 {{wp|yokai}}, often described as being snake-like. The "crown" behind it makes it resemble depictions of {{wp|Shesha}}.<br />
<br />
According to model sheet of Zygarde Complete Forme for {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it may also form a stylized letter Z when it lifts its cape over its head to attack. This forme of Zygarde 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 depicting [[List of Pokémon by Coastal Kalos Pokédex number|Coastal Kalos]], red on the right depicting [[List of Pokémon by Mountain Kalos Pokédex number|Mountain Kalos]], and white in the middle depicting [[List of Pokémon by Central Kalos Pokédex number|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.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde's cannon might be based on either a railgun or a laser cannon. As Mega Zygarde is styled after its Complete Forme, it may also resemble a stylized Z and a mech, with its cannon posed where the "head" of the Z is placed. Similarly, many of its hexagonal patterns are also blue and red, representative of Xerneas and Yveltal, justified the X, Y and Z markings on the front of its cannon.<br />
<br />
[[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s may be based on cells or other single-celled organisms, such as {{wp|slime mold}}s and members of ''{{wp|Euglena}}'', as well as {{wp|flatworm}}s (specifically {{wp|planarian}}). The hexagons within them may represent a {{wp|cell nucleus}}. The concept of the different forms of Zygarde being composed of smaller individuals useless by themselves may be based off {{wp|Colony (biology|colonial organisms}}. Zygarde's themes of the ecological balance of life may be thematically inspired by {{wp|zygote}}s, a type of cell that forms first development stage of an animal's life span. Zygarde's [[Form|forme change]] from its snake-like appearance in 50% Forme into its human-like Complete Forme may be inspired by {{wp|nāga}}, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures that may feature human-like qualities.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
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 ''{{wp|zygote}}'', ''garde'' (French for "guard"), and ''garðr'' (Old Norse for enclosure; realm).<br />

'''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]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has three main [[#Form data|forms]]: '''10% Forme''', '''50% Forme''', and '''Complete Forme'''. Zygarde, exclusively in its Complete Forme, can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Zygarde''' using the [[Zygardite]]. All forms of Zygarde are composed of '''[[Zygarde Core]]s''' and '''[[Zygarde Cell]]s'''.<br />
<br />
Zygarde can switch between its 10% and 50% Formes at the [[Reassembly Unit]] or with the [[Zygarde Cube]]. If its [[Ability]] is {{a|Power Construct}} and its [[HP]] drops below half, then Zygarde in either form will change into its Complete Forme. <small>(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data&rarr;Form data]] for these details.)</small><br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}, having no name originally. Zygarde 10% Forme and Zygarde Complete Forme, as well as the Zygarde Cells and Zygarde Cores, were revealed in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine and later introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Mega Zygarde was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
{{ga|Zygarde}} plays a [[Game mascot|central role]] in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, serving as one of the game's key figures. A [[Squishy|Zygarde Core]] plays an important role in the ''[[S19|XY&Z]]'' arc of {{aniseries|XY}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:Zygarde Core SM concept art.png|thumb|left|170px|Zygarde Cores make up Zygarde's brain]]<br />
Zygarde is a green and black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} composed of smaller units known as [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s, who collectively define its appearance and power by assembling in different percentages. In all of Zygarde's forms, the various Cores and Cells are represented as green and black hexagons that glow when it attacks. It has also been shown to be able to fly in all of its forms.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the guardian of the [[Pokémon world]]'s ecosystem, firmly believing that it has a duty to protect it,<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: ''"It is said this [[Legendary Pokémon]] is a guardian of the ecosystem."''</ref><ref name="50%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20171003202529mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ archived])</ref><ref name="50%ZA">[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde50 Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> and is responsible for monitoring it for abnormalities from caves such as [[Kalos]]'s [[Terminus Cave]] and [[Alola]]'s [[Resolution Cave]]. It is described as a being that seeks to correct excess, find moderation, and restore balance. Zygarde can {{a|Aura Break|reverse}} the effects of {{p|Xerneas}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{p|Yveltal}}'s {{a|Dark Aura}}, thus ensuring the equilibrium of the cycle of life and death are kept in check.<ref>''"[[Kalos]]ian Legends: {{p|Xerneas}}, the Life Pokémon, and {{p|Yveltal}}, the Destruction Pokémon, both hail from the beautiful Kalos [[region]]. While they stand in opposition, the Order Pokémon Zygarde is said to help keep the ecosystem in equilibrium."'' - ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]]'', page 282</ref> Normally, it avoids getting involved in conflicts unless the ecosystem is in grave danger.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon! | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> It is also known to ask for [[human]]s to assist it in protecting the ecosystem when necessary, but can still be wary of those it does not trust. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Z". In the animated series, a Zygarde Core and two Zygarde in their 50% Forme have had the green coloration on their bodies changed to red as a result of the influence of [[Team Flare]]'s [[Mega Evolution]] energy weapon; moreover, all of their formes were depicted as capable of [[Talking Pokémon|human speech]] via telepathy.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]]s {{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}}.<br />
<br />
===Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells===<br />

|}<br />
Physically, a Zygarde Core and a Zygarde Cell are almost identical. Both are small, green, cell-like blobs that resemble a {{wp|planarian}}. Their bodies are gelatinous, semitranslucent, and can be segmented into three sections: a large, round head, an abdomen with a colored hexagon, and a stubby tail. They have two eyes, though one is larger and has a pupil, and can stand on their tail (a trait most associated with the Core). The difference between a Core and a Cell is subtle: Cores have a black pupil and a red hexagon embedded inside their abdomen, while these are both green on Cells.<br />
<br />
On their own, neither Cores nor Cells have the power to battle, needing to assemble in order to take action. The Cells exist in far greater numbers than the Cores, therefore making up the majority of any given form of Zygarde. However, they lack wills of their own and can only act in accordance to the orders of a Core. The Cores act as Zygarde's brain,<ref name=CoresCells>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ Zygarde's Cores and Cells | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160814031551/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ archived])</ref> and Zygarde may have up to five of them. It can also use its Cells for [[move|attacks]], such as raining them down like {{m|Thousand Arrows|arrows}} or scattering them throughout the ground in {{m|Thousand Waves|waves}} before they're recalled into its body. When Zygarde exhausts all of its power, it splits back into individual Cores and Cells and scatters all over the world, reaching even far-off lands. While in this state, they absorb the native power of said lands and may request assistance from [[human]]s in order to reassemble.<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"When Zygarde used up its strength protecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from the light of [[ultimate weapon]]... its parts scattered to far-off places, absorbing the power of those lands and seeking [[human]]s who would give it aid."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> As seen in various media, Zygarde Cells demonstrate some form of will of their own and are capable of moving independently, without a Zygarde Core commanding them.<br />
<br />
===Forms===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme, which are composed of [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s. Zygarde Complete Forme can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde.<br />

====10% Forme====<br />
[[File:Zygarde 10 Percent SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Concept art of Zygarde's 10% Forme]]<br />
Zygarde 10% Forme is a relatively small {{wp|Canis|canine}} Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, though its neck, muzzle, mouth, eyebrows, and left front paw are green. Additionally, it has two green hexagons on its chest and a single one on its rear. From its neck, a green ribbon-like extension comes out, next to an elongated red hexagon, giving the impression of a leash and dog tag, respectively. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils, and there is a thin white line on its forehead. Its mouth is fitted with razor-sharp fangs. On each of its legs are black 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.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme is assumed in cases of emergency, created when it calls and gathers a tenth of its Cells across the land when it needs to fight. Because only a single Core serves as its brain, it cannot maintain this form indefinitely, and it will eventually fall apart. Nonethless, it is skilled at close-range combat, overwhelming and quickly defeating its opponents by leaping at their chests and sinking its fangs into them. It is also capable of running at speeds greater than 60 mph (100 km/h).<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143708/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde10 Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Concept art of Zygarde 10% Forme shows that it can wrap its "leash" around the arm of someone it trusts.<br />
{{left clear}}<br />
<br />
====50% Forme====<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme is a large {{wp|Snake|serpentine}} Pokémon. 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 several small, green hexagons on its body that occasionally glow white.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 50% Forme is assembled from half of its Cells and up to 3 Cores reuniting. Although this form is only half of its full potential, its power is capable of overwhelming anyone who stands in its way.<ref name="50%ZA"/><ref name="50%SunMoon"/> The 50% Forme is known to be both ruthless and merciless to its foes. There are rumors that an even greater power lies hidden within it, as it is capable of {{a|Power Construct|changing}} to a more powerful form when battling those who threaten the ecosystem. Its frill can be shown vibrating as it attacks. As seen in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Zygarde 50% Forme can summon and control massive roots for attacks and covering areas.<br />
<br />
====Complete Forme====<br />
Zygarde Complete Form is a large, humanoid Pokémon. 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 mouth that when opened, reveals five hexagons colored red, orange, white, cyan, and blue, respectively. It has a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's.<br />
<br />
The Complete Forme is Zygarde's perfected form, created when 100% of its Cells and Cores are gathered. In this state, Zygarde can fight at full power and complete its duty of protecting the ecosystem by suppressing those who willingly endanger it. Zygarde Complete Forme contains 5 Cores, one for each of its wings and its tail. Despite all of them being in a single body, each Core can make decisions and act independently of the others.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160715204745/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ archived])</ref> The Zygarde Cores can freely change the shapes of the four wings and tail for a variety of roles. Notably, the tip of its wings can form snake-like heads that can be used to attack with energy beams, propel itself, and restore an unbalanced ecosystem back to normal, as seen in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. The zigzagging mouth on its chest can radiate enough high-powered energy to destroy everything around it, even firing energy beams from within it.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde-complete Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> It has also been shown to form a green, protective barrier to shield itself and its allies. It has also been shown using Core Enforcer as a rush attack, leaving a Z-shaped carving in its opponents while dashing through them before it explodes. The Complete Forme is only used to neutralize huge threats to the ecosystem, such as [[Lysandre]]'s [[Giant Rock]], the [[Laquium|Laquium Core]], the [[ultimate weapon]], [[Ultra Burst|Ultra]] {{Adv|Necrozma}}, and {{DL|Ange|Hyperrogue Ange Floette}}. It is powerful enough to overwhelm even {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />

====Mega Zygarde====<br />
Overall, Mega Zygarde retains most of Zygarde Complete Forme's humanoid structure, but the Cells composing its body have been strategically relocated. Notably, it has lost most, if not all, of the hexagons composing Zygarde Complete Forme's lower body, arms, and wings, exposing its light green body. As a result of this, Mega Zygarde has completely lost its wings, having seemingly replaced them with six smaller arm-like structures. On its legs, only the three hexagons on each knee remain, though they changed from symmetrical white and green to asymmetrical black and white. The lower part of Zygarde Complete Forme's chest, starting from the multicolored mouth, has also opened, giving the impression it has ripped into strands of black hexagons similar to tree roots. The green, eye-like patterns on its chest now have each a differently colored hexagon on them (one red, one blue). Underneath the chest plate, a series of five white hexagons cover the true body. White, chain-like hexagonal patterns run down Mega Zygarde's uncovered torso, arms, and legs, as well as on its back and under its feet. Its arms don't end in hands, but split into three hexagonal digits. Mega Zygarde's headpiece and tail remain mostly unchanged from its base form, only having lost the green hexagons on its face and having more of those on its tail. Its crown is lit up by a green flame, and its eyes are green as well.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is said to be born as a result of people's emotions during an unprecedented crisis, allowing it to calm the situation with its unmatched power. Its defining feature is the giant cannon held above Mega Zygarde's head by its six smaller arms. The cannon has a cylindrical shape, somewhat resembling a tree trunk, decorated with several shapes and lines similar to Zygarde 10% Forme's leash. The cannon is mostly black, with dark blue and dark red patches circling its length. At the cannon's muzzle, there is a pink symbol resembling a cross between an "X" and a "Y" surrounded by red, blue, and pink lines. Its interior features a circle, three hexagons, and a central circle, while its back has a dark green hexagon at the center. When Mega Zygarde attacks with its cannon, the muzzle pattern shines in the shape of an "X", "Y", and "Z" before opening up, unleashing a {{m|Nihil Light|beam of light that defies nature itself}}, which has been likened to the [[Z-Move]]s found in the [[Alola]] [[region]].<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"And now that I think of it... The moves that Zygarde used when it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]—they reminded me of [[Z-Moves]], like those used in the [[Alola]] region."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> Such an attack was powerful enough to overpower Hyperrogue Ange Floette's powered-up {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which threatened to annihilate all of [[Lumiose City]], as well as to break through the [[Laquium]] Core's defenses and heavily damage it, as seen in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]''. It has been referred to as "Lumiose's Guardian"<ref>[[Research Task (HOME)|Kalos Region Tasks]]</ref> due to it saving Lumiose City from Hyperrogue Ange Floette.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is the only known Pokémon capable of using the move {{m|Nihil Light}}, an upgraded version of {{m|Core Enforcer}}.<br />

===Form data===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s appear in the story in some games, but they are not catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and are not included in the [[Pokédex]]; they make up Zygarde's forms and are not forms themselves.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde's only form is its 50% Forme, which was unnamed at the time. The 10% Forme and Complete Forme were introduced to the games in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. It can switch between its 10% Forme and 50% Forme using the [[Reassembly Unit]] or the [[Zygarde Cube]], and can enter its Complete Forme in {{pkmn|battle}} if it has {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme and 50% Forme can have {{a|Aura Break}} or Power Construct as their [[Ability]]. Internally, Zygarde's Ability difference is itself a separate form. This makes it impossible to change Zygarde's Ability with [[Ability Capsule]]s or [[Ability Patch]]es; the Reassembly Unit or the Zygarde Cube must be used instead.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Aura Break}}<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde can only have {{a|Aura Break}} as an [[Ability]] and has no other forms.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VII]], a Zygarde with Aura Break can be transformed by the [[Reassembly Unit]]. This machine can create a 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break or change a 10% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break to a 50% Forme Zygarde. It can also change either to a 50% Forme Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}<br />
The [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change form" function ("Change Forme" in Generation VII) 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.<br />
<br />
Any Zygarde with Power Construct will change to Complete Forme in battle if its [[HP]] drops below half. When the battle ends, it returns to its original form with the same HP it ended the battle with (within its original form's maximum HP).<br />
<br />
Zygarde has a unique form change animation when changing to its Complete Forme, which shows Zygarde Cells (represented by green hexagons) gathering to change its form.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], due to the lack of Abilities, the distinction between Zygarde with Aura Break and Zygarde with Power Construct does not exist. Instead, any 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde will change into Complete Forme when its HP is reduced to half or less, increasing its maximum HP and gaining current HP equal to the amount of maximum HP gained. If Zygarde's HP is reduced below the threshold while it is using a [[move]], it will transform when the move finishes. Zygarde is invulnerable while changing into Complete Forme. It will change back to its previous form if it is recalled while out of battle, retaining the HP it had at that time; if this is above the maximum HP of its original form, its HP will become equal to its maximum HP.<br />

Zygarde's [[base stats]] differ between its three forms. Additionally, it can only [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] when it is in its Complete Forme. If it knows the move {{m|Core Enforcer}} when it Mega Evolves, the move will be replaced with {{m|Nihil Light}} until the Mega Evolution ends.<br />

{{main|Zygarde (Adventures)}}<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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 arc, 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]] alongside {{adv|Solgaleo}} and {{DL|Nebby|Pokémon Adventures|Lunala}}.<br />

<br />
===Origin===<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance may be 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 {{t|Ground}} type ("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 {{wp|yokai}}, often described as being snake-like. The "crown" behind it makes it resemble depictions of {{wp|Shesha}}.<br />
<br />
According to model sheet of Zygarde Complete Forme for {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it may also form a stylized letter Z when it lifts its cape over its head to attack. This forme of Zygarde 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 depicting [[List of Pokémon by Coastal Kalos Pokédex number|Coastal Kalos]], red on the right depicting [[List of Pokémon by Mountain Kalos Pokédex number|Mountain Kalos]], and white in the middle depicting [[List of Pokémon by Central Kalos Pokédex number|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.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde's cannon might be based on either a railgun or a laser cannon. As Mega Zygarde is styled after its Complete Forme, it may also resemble a stylized Z and a mech, with its cannon posed where the "head" of the Z is placed. Similarly, many of its hexagonal patterns are also blue and red, representative of Xerneas and Yveltal, justified the X, Y and Z markings on the front of its cannon.<br />
<br />
[[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s may be based on cells or other single-celled organisms, such as {{wp|slime mold}}s and members of ''{{wp|Euglena}}'', as well as {{wp|flatworm}}s (specifically {{wp|planarian}}). The hexagons within them may represent a {{wp|cell nucleus}}. The concept of the different forms of Zygarde being composed of smaller individuals useless by themselves may be based off {{wp|Colony (biology|colonial organisms}}. Zygarde's themes of the ecological balance of life may be thematically inspired by {{wp|zygote}}s, a type of cell that forms first development stage of an animal's life span. Zygarde's [[Form|forme change]] from its snake-like appearance in 50% Forme into its human-like Complete Forme may be inspired by {{wp|nāga}}, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures that may feature human-like qualities.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
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 ''{{wp|zygote}}'', ''garde'' (French for "guard"), and ''garðr'' (Old Norse for enclosure; realm).<br />

<hr />
<div>{{PA}}<br />
There have been numerous '''controversies''' regarding the [[Pokémon]] franchise in its various forms and media.<br />
<br />
==Animal cruelty==<br />
In the past, several animal rights groups have tried to ban Pokémon, claiming that Pokémon battles closely resemble {{wp|cockfight}}s. This aspect of the controversy was touched upon in {{game|Black and White|s}}.<br />
<br />
Upon the release of {{B2W2}}, animal rights activist group {{wp|People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals}} (PETA) released a mock game titled "Pokémon Black and Blue", in which the player controls battered and bruised Pokémon to attack human enemies. PETA claims that the way the Pokémon are "stuffed" into [[Poké Ball]]s is similar to how circus elephants are chained inside railroad carts. Nintendo responded to this by stating, "Nintendo and The Pokémon Company take the inappropriate use of our products and intellectual property seriously."<ref>[http://o.canada.com/technology/gaming/nintendo-responds-to-petas-pokemon-attack Nintendo responds to PETA’s Pokemon attack | canada.com] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20180911211240/https://o.canada.com/technology/gaming/nintendo-responds-to-petas-pokemon-attack archived copy] )</ref> Around the release of [[Pokémon X and Y]], PETA released another mock game called "Pokémon Red, White, and Blue" that features Nintendo's claimed association with {{wp|McDonald's}} and also makes fun of the frequent release of sister games.<br />
<br />
==Violence==<br />
===Animation===<br />
[[File:Gun.png|thumb|250px|[[Kaiser]] pointing his [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world|revolver]] at {{Ash}}]]<br />
Although [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] allowed for some cartoon violence in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, the following episodes contain scenes that were deemed "too violent", and thus were cut from the English broadcast:<br />
* ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'': {{an|Misty}} slaps {{Ash}} after he tells her he's okay, presumably because of his apparent lack of care for {{AP|Pikachu}}.<br />
* ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'': Misty slaps Ash due to his recklessness in sending out {{AP|Caterpie}} to battle a {{AP|Pidgeotto}}.<br />
* ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'': Misty strikes {{an|Brock}} with a log because he says "To be continued..." rather than beginning the episode.<br />
* [[EP035]]: Safari Zone Warden [[Kaiser]] repeatedly threatens Ash and the group with a [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world|revolver]], and also fires at {{TRT}} when they trespass onto the {{safari|Kanto}} grounds, leading to the entire episode being [[banned episodes|banned]] outside of Asia.<br />
* ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'': Shots of Ash getting struck by baseballs are replaced with impact animations.<br />
* ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]'': There are two separate shots of Poliwrath violently slapping [[Jessie]]; in one of those shots, she has red spots on her cheeks from Poliwrath's intense slapping. Both of these shots were cut from the broadcast version and [[List of English language Master Quest home video releases (Region 1)#Box sets|first US home video release]] and replaced with an impact animation. The version streamed on Pokémon TV and the [[List of English language Master Quest home video releases (Region 1)#The Complete Collection|second US home video release]], however, leaves the shots in this episode intact.<br />
* ''[[AG003|There's No Place Like Hoenn]]'': Two separate scenes show [[James]]'s head and Max on fire due to {{TP|May|Torchic}}'s {{m|Ember}} attack.<br />
* ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water]]'': A {{p|Carvanha}} hits Ash in the back of the head.<br />
Scenes like these are common in Japanese animation, and are intended for comic relief purposes. They are similar to scenes in Western animation such as ''{{wp|Looney Tunes}}'' and ''{{wp|Tom and Jerry}}'', where characters get hit by extremely heavy objects and are completely fine afterwards.<br />

==Racism==<br />
===Jynx===<br />
[[File:124Jynx RG.png|thumb|left|x200px|{{p|Jynx}}'s original design]]<br />
[[File:0124Jynx.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Jynx}}'s current design]]<br />
Following the American airing of ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' in 1999, {{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}}, an African-American cultural critic, claimed that {{p|Jynx}} was a negative racial stereotype of African-Americans, due to the Pokémon's black skin and oversized facial features, which were typical in minstrel shows. She chiefly compared Jynx to the racist characters in the children's book ''{{wp|The Story of Little Black Sambo}}'', as well as calling Jynx "a dead ringer for an obese {{wp|Drag Queen}}", and further compared Jynx to {{wp|Mr. Popo}} of the {{wp|Dragon Ball}} franchise, another character who is also potentially offensive in his design. Weatherford also complained of Jynx having "cleavage" despite the character not ever having been depicted with any.<ref>Weatherford, Carole Boston (January 5, 2000) [https://web.archive.org/web/20080925070143/http://hk.geocities.com/hksar_dolphin/cbw1.htm Politically Incorrect Pokémon]</ref><br />
<br />
Weatherford's complaint caused many repercussions in the Pokémon franchise. Following the release of ''Holiday Hi-Jynx'', the original design of Jynx continued to be featured in several later episodes of the {{pkmn|animated series}}. Its final appearance in this design in the English dub was ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]'', while [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] decided to cut its later, minor appearances in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'', ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'', and ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. [[EP250]], which heavily features Jynx, was not aired outside of Asia at all. <br />
<br />
Jynx's design was officially revised by [[Game Freak]] to be purple rather than black, starting with the international releases of {{g|Gold and Silver}} and being included in all versions of the games from [[Generation III]]-onwards. This change was reflected in later [[core series]] games, including in Japan and South Korea, beginning with {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and in the animated series starting in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]''. Jynx was also recolored in [[VIZ Media]]'s reissues of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Although the manga is colored in black-and-white, Jynx appearing in the manga are recolored as a dark gray rather than a straight black, suggesting that they are purple instead of black. It is also recolored to purple on the back cover of the reissue of {{PAV|4}}. Jynx's skin was also recolored to purple when ''Holiday Hi-Jynx'' finally saw a re-airing in Japan in 2012; nevertheless, the episode is still banned in the US. The [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga published between 2005 and 2006 in English by [[Chuang Yi]] didn't change her color, and thus her original black design appears. The [[Virtual Console]] versions of [[Pokémon Snap]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version]], {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} also changed Jynx's color.<br />
<br />
Some have noted that Jynx may be inspired by {{wp|gyaru}}, a Japanese fashion where women tan heavily, bleach their hair, and apply large amounts of makeup, instead of a black stereotype. This theory is mainly based on Jynx's long, straight, blonde hair, a common attribute of gyaru fashion, which was omnipresent in cities like Shibuya around the 1970s to 1990s. While some attribute it more specifically to {{wp|ganguro}}, this particular hypothesis has been criticized due to the timeline of ganguro fashion not matching up with the development of [[Pokémon games]].<ref>[[n:On the Origin of Species: Jynx|On the Origin of Species: Jynx]]</ref> Another theory is that Jynx is based on the Nordic goddess {{wp|Hel}}, who was often depicted as having a face half white-half black and who ruled {{wp|Niflheim}}, primarily depicted as a land of primordial ice and cold. Some fans say this is supported by Jynx sharing traits with the iconic opera singing "{{wp|It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings|Fat Lady}}," who is pop-culturally portrayed dressed as the {{wp|valkyrie}} {{wp|Brünnhilde}}. It has also been stated that Jynx is based on {{wp|Yama-uba}}, the mountain Crone.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8X3l_Tt8VE Game Theory: Pokemon Racism, Jynx Justified]</ref><br />
<br />
===Lenora===<br />
[[File:BW014 comparison.png|thumb|200px|The change in {{aniseries|BW}}]]<br />
The [[Gym Leader]] of [[Nacrene City]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Lenora]], also brought up concerns of racism. Lenora's original artwork, as well as her in-game sprites, depict her wearing a large apron. Concerns arose that people outside of Japan would connect Lenora to the {{wp|Mammy stereotype}}. Similar to Lenora, the mammy is often depicted as a dark-skinned woman who wears a handkerchief on her head and an apron. Because of the similarity, Lenora's artwork was changed, from her wearing the apron to her having it slung over her shoulder like a cape. Despite this, Lenora's in-game sprites were not altered in the international releases of Pokémon Black and White or {{B2W2}}.<br />
<br />
In the original version of ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', Lenora was depicted wearing her apron. When the English dub aired, her apron was removed completely.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Lenora is depicted with the apron over her shoulder in the first panel she appears in and she is not shown with it after that. In {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}}, she is not depicted with an apron at all.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], {{mas|Lenora}} is not depicted with an apron.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==Four-fingered hands==<br />
In [[Generation I]], many Pokémon were depicted with four fingers in their sprites and artwork. Later on, most of these Pokémon had one finger added or removed to give them three or five fingers instead. These Pokémon include {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Poliwrath}}, {{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Golem}}, {{p|Haunter}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Electabuzz}}, {{p|Magmar}}, and {{p|Snorlax}}. {{p|Poliwhirl}} also originally had four fingers, but instead of having one added or removed, it was later depicted with mitten-like gloves. The only Pokémon that still retains four fingers is {{p|Charmander}}, though this [[Charmander (Pokémon)#Design variations|differs between media]].<br />
<br />
The likely reason for this is because a four-fingered hand resembles a practice associated with the {{wp|Yakuza}} called {{wp|yubitsume}}, where a member cuts off a finger to atone for a mistake.<ref group="Note">Per Jon Sahagian of [[PokéBeach]], [https://twitter.com/DrLavaYT/status/1161850444693426177 The Pokémon Company officials stated that parents complained about this]: ''“I noted this on PokeBeach years ago after speaking to a TPC official in Japan, but Mr. Mime gained an extra finger because parents complained about four fingers being associated with gangs.”''</ref> It also evokes associations with the {{wp|burakumin}}, a historically marginalized class often linked to occupations such as butchering or execution. Additionally, in {{wp|Sinosphere|Sinospheric cultures}}, the number {{wp|tetraphobia|four is considered unlucky}} because it sounds similar to the word for "death".<br />

==Gambling==<br />
{{cleanup|section|lots of unverified information; overuse of opinionated language and {{wp|MOS:WEASEL|weasel words}} without citations from reputable, unbiased sources}}<br />
[[File:HGSS Goldenrod Game Corner.png|thumb|right|The [[Goldenrod Game Corner]] in the Western release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]<br />
Over the years, there has been a growing distaste towards gambling and the exposure of it to minors.{{specify|according to whom?}} Due to the unpredictable "risk-it-all" nature of the activity and the high impressionability of youths, more and more people have voiced their opposition towards allowing minors to partake in gambling and associated games (such as slot machines or poker), with simulated gambling in video games falling under particular scrutiny.{{specify|according to whom?}} As a result, the Pan-European Game Information ({{wp|PEGI}}) organization implemented stricter guidelines that limited simulated gambling first to older-skewing video games, starting in 2009, then eventually to adult-oriented games, starting in 2020,<ref>[https://gameworldobserver.com/2021/09/01/new-pegi-rating-criteria-labels-all-games-that-teach-or-encourage-gambling-18 New PEGI rating criteria labels all games that teach or encourage gambling 18+ | Game World Observer]</ref> and all games released in Europe featuring simulated gambling mechanics have been rated accordingly.{{fact}} While such restrictions are absent in other territories, many nations (the United States in particular) perceive gambling mechanics in video games as socially unacceptable,{{specify|according to whom?}} leading to the Pokémon games slowly phasing the concept out from [[Generation III]] onwards.<br />
<br />
===Trainer class===<br />
The English-language releases of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} renamed the Gambler Trainer class to "{{tc|PI|Gamer}}" and removed gambling references from their dialogue. The English versions of the [[Generation IV]] games renamed the class once more to "{{wp|Private investigator|PI}}", though the references to gambling were kept.<br />
<br />
===Game Corner===<br />
{{main|Game Corner}}<br />
In South Korea, the releases of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} replaced the [[slot machine]]s in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]] with non-playable [[Slot machine#Korean Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum / European Platinum|game machines]]. These changes were later copied to the releases of Pokémon Platinum in Europe as a result of changes in the classification standards at {{wp|Pan European Game Information|PEGI}}.<ref>[http://www.gamesradar.com/european-pokemon-platinums-missing-game-corner-explained/ European Pokemon Platinum's missing Game Corner explained | GamesRadar] ([https://archive.today/mRcAt archived copy])</ref> This change has been greatly criticized by European players, who felt that it completely defeated the purpose and concept of the Game Corner.<br />
<br />
All non-Japanese releases of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} replace the slot machines of the two Game Corners in [[Goldenrod City]] and [[Celadon City]] with a new game called [[Voltorb Flip]]. In this minigame, {{OBP|Coin|Game Corner}}s are not wagered against a win or a loss but instead given out for completing a level. This change removed the ability to buy coins, making Voltorb Flip the only way to obtain them.<br />
<br />
From [[Generation V]] onward, the core series games no longer feature a playable Game Corner. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been closed down; the owner will instead provide the player with three dolls, originally obtained from an [[Non-player character|NPC]] inside the Game Corner. In {{LGPE}}, the [[Celadon Game Corner]] remains, due to its importance as the location of the [[Team Rocket Hideout]], but the slot machines have been replaced with non-playable arcade machines referencing other Pokémon games. In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the [[Veilstone Game Corner]] was removed, and is replaced by the Metronome Style Shop, a clothing store that serves as a means for the player character to change outfits and hairstyles.<br />
<br />
In the [[Virtual Console]] re-releases of the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games, however, the Game Corner was left completely untouched, although the games did receive the higher-than-usual age rating of twelve and up by PEGI (compared to all other contemporary core series titles, which PEGI gave a rating of seven and up).<br />
<br />
===Other core series luck-based mechanics===<br />
There are other gambling-esque methods that exist in later games, such as the [[Loto-ID]], the [[Cram-o-matic]], and the [[Item Printer]]. However, these methods do not require any money to try out, and provide the player with items instead of money, the only luck-based factor being the rarity of the obtained item. The [[Roster Ranch]] in Pokémon Champions is similar; however, instead of in-game money or items, a random assortment of Pokémon with random stats, genders, natures, abilities, moves, possible [[mark]], being potentially {{Shiny}}, and being in a random Poké Ball type are offered.<br />

==Localization controversies==<br />
<br />
===Unification of Chinese localizations===<br />
In 2016, many of the localized names in the Chinese translation were changed so that they would be consistent across the Chinese-speaking world. This was met with backlash in {{pmin|Hong Kong}}, as the names were largely based on the {{wp|Mandarin}} pronunciations rather than the {{wp|Cantonese}} that is spoken in Hong Kong.<ref>[http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-36414978 BBC: Why the plan to rename Pikachu has made Hong Kong angry]</ref> The controversy was bolstered by political tensions between Hong Kong and mainland China, leading to a group called {{wp|Civic Passion}} protesting outside of the Japanese consulate.<ref>[https://www.csmonitor.com/Technology/2016/0531/Pokemon-protests-what-they-tell-us-about-Hong-Kong-China-relations Christian Science Monitor: Pokémon protests: what they tell us about Hong Kong-China relations]</ref><br />
<br />
===Latin American Spanish language announcement===<br />
The [[Pokémon Presents]] broadcast on [[Pokémon Day]] 2025 announced the addition of {{pmin|Latin America|Latin American Spanish}} language support for [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] and [[Pokémon Champions]]. This announcement caused significant backlash among {{pmin|Brazil}}ian Pokémon fans, who had been asking for Portuguese language support in the [[core series]] Pokémon games for over a decade. The first major campaign began around the release of Pokémon X and Y in 2013,<ref>[https://www.change.org/p/pok%C3%A9mon-x-e-y-em-portugu%C3%AAs Pokémon X and Y in Portuguese | Change.org]</ref> and a subsequent campaign following the announcement of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet in 2022 got international support, as well as from a few Brazilian celebrities.<ref>[https://ge.globo.com/esports/pokemon/noticia/2022/03/03/pokemon-em-portugues-juliette-e-casimiro-fazem-apelo-entenda.ghtml Pokémon in Portuguese support from celebrities and international community | ge]</ref> This campaign even reached the Top 10 trending topics on Twitter worldwide.<ref>[https://twitter.com/danielreen/status/1499066037614039042 Tweet on Pokémon in Portuguese campaign reaching Top 10 global Trending Topics]</ref> A few months later, TPCi released a statement in both Brazilian Portuguese<ref>[https://www.nintendoblast.com.br/2022/04/the-pokemon-company-comenta-localizacao-em-portugues-em-pokemon-scarlet-violet-switch.html The Pokémon Company International responds about Portuguese localization in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet | Nintendo Blast]</ref> and Latin American Spanish,<ref>[https://www.anmtvla.com/2022/04/the-pokemon-company-rompe-el-silencio.html The Pokémon Company International responds about Latin American Spanish localization in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet | ANMTV]</ref> which had a similar campaign going on at around the same time, announcing they were planning on the right time to add language support in Latin America, leading fans to believe both languages would be added together in a future game.<br />
<br />
The announcement videos in this segment of Pokémon Presents prominently featured footage from the 2025 Latin America {{DL|Play! Pokémon|International Championships}} held in São Paulo, Brazil. These videos showcased many Brazilians, including the {{wp|Vai-Vai}} samba school, which performed at the event's opening, and employees from {{wp|Copag}}, the official distributor and event organizer for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in Brazil. Several posters and products in Brazilian Portuguese were also featured.<ref>[https://x.com/Reenlsober/status/1895245034762715580 Tweet complaining about Portuguese text at a Brazilian event while promoting Latin American Spanish support]</ref> This was also the first time a Pokémon Presents was localized to Brazilian Portuguese. Despite all of this, there was no mention of Brazil or Portuguese language support. Tomás Cortijo, the presenter for the segment, emphasized that millions of fans would now enjoy the games in their native language and that it's the perfect time to be a Pokémon fan regardless of where you are, including Latin America, seemingly ignoring the fact that this region is composed of approximately 30% Brazilians,<ref>[https://censo2022.ibge.gov.br/panorama/ Population of Brazil according to the 2022 Census | IBGE]</ref><ref>[https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/latin-america-and-the-caribbean-population/ Population of Latin America | Worldometer]</ref> who still lack proper language support in the core series games.<br />
<br />
The way the announcement was presented led to widespread frustration among fans and even Pokémon and Nintendo content creators from Brazil, some of them believing this to be an act of xenophobia due to using Brazilians as justification for the inclusion of a foreign language not spoken in Brazil.<ref>[https://twitter.com/pipoolimpio/status/1895595386787795411 Tweet about xenophobia on Pokémon Presents]</ref> This dissatisfaction became the most discussed topic on Pokémon's social media platforms in the country, with many fans expressing their frustration over the omission of Portuguese. Some fans even took more extreme measures, targeting Cortijo's social media accounts,<ref>[https://twitter.com/rodrigocoelhoc/status/1895143683088855469 Tweet about targeting Tomás Cortijo personal accounts]</ref> which led him to set his Instagram account to private and remove several comments from his LinkedIn posts in response to the backlash he was receiving. Unlike their Latin American Spanish counterpart, Nintendo Brazil did not issue any official posts about the Pokémon Presents, despite both usually posting similar content at the same time, suggesting that they were aware of the backlash.<br />
<br />
The discontentment got worse on March 1, 2025, when the prices of all Pokémon games on the Nintendo Switch increased by 17% on the Brazilian Nintendo eShop.<ref>[https://universonintendo.com/brasil-nintendo-eleva-preco-de-jogos-digitais-em-gift-cards-preco-antigo-ainda-esta-disponivel-na-eshop/ Nintendo raises prices of its digital games published in Brazil | Universo Nintendo]</ref> This further decreased the accessibility of Pokémon core series games in the country, which was already limited by the lack of Portuguese language support.<br />
<br />
==Religion==<br />
===Christianity===<br />
====Satanism====<br />
Some {{wp|Christian fundamentalism|fundamentalist Christian}} groups have accused Pokémon as being linked to {{wp|Satanism}}. The following is a summarized list of claims:<br />
*Pokémon are like demons. They are captured and must be called upon to perform tasks.<ref name="SToP">[http://www.withoneaccord.org/assets/images/freedownloads/StraightTalkonPokemon.pdf Straight Talk on Pokemon - StraightTalkonPokemon.pdf]</ref><ref>[https://gizmodo.com/isis-will-use-pokemon-go-to-murder-innocent-christians-1783680507 ISIS Will Use Pokémon Go to Murder Innocent Christians and Spawn Demons (Says Radio Host Pastor)]</ref><br />

*Pokémon [[Evolution]] has often been criticized due to sharing the name with the {{wp|Evolution|scientific theory of evolution}} which fundamentalist creationists usually reject, although the phenomenon in Pokémon is closer to insect {{wp|metamorphosis}} or mammalian puberty.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=o7bsCwAAQBAJ&pg=PT38 Sociology of Religion for Generations X and Y - Adam Possamai - Google Books]</ref><br />
**Certain Pokémon Evolutions require [[Evolution stone]]s, which are often seen as magical.<ref name="SToP" /><br />
*Many Pokémon have extraordinary paranormal powers, notably {{type|Psychic}}s and {{type|Ghost}}s.<ref>[http://www.christiananswers.net/spotlight/games/2000/pokemon.html POKÉMON | a game review from Christian Spotlight]</ref><ref>[https://www.probe.org/pokemon/ Pokemon - A Christian Assessment]</ref><ref>[http://www1.cbn.com/onlinediscipleship/pok%26eacute%3Bmon%2C-harry-potter%2C-and-the-magic-of-story Pokémon, Harry Potter, and the Magic of Story | CBN.com]</ref><br />
*Many Pokémon inherently involve East Asian spiritualism or mysticism, due to the franchise originating in Japan. Some Christian groups denounce these as pagan rituals.<ref>[http://wildhunt.org/2016/07/pokemon-and-the-great-occult-scare.html Pokémon and the Great Occult Scare | The Wild Hunt]</ref><ref>[http://sureword.faithweb.com/pokemon.html Pokemon - Just Another Fad?]</ref><br />
<!--DO NOT REMOVE OR REWORD WITHOUT DISCUSSION--><br />

<br />
In response to these claims, the {{wp|Vatican City}}-based {{wp|TV2000|Sat 2000}} broadcast public approval of Pokémon in April 2000, stating that the games did not have "any harmful moral side effects" and was based on "ties of intense friendship".<ref>[http://nypost.com/2000/04/21/pokemon-earns-papal-blessing/ POKEMON EARNS PAPAL BLESSING | New York Post] ([https://archive.today/5AVJL archived copy])</ref><br />

===Islam===<br />
[[File:Egyptian Newspaper Poké-fatwa smear-campaign.jpg|200x200px|thumb|The Poké-fatwa smear campaign reaching the headline page of an Egyptian newspaper on April 15, 2001. Title reads: It is forbidden for Muslims to interact with the Pokémon game.]]<br />
<br />
On March 15, 2001, an anonymous user online claiming to be located in {{wp|Qatif}}, {{wp|Saudi Arabia}}, posted a forum thread on the then big Arabic message-board site '''Montada''', making questionable claims of the [[Pokémon]] franchise being tied to {{wp|Darwinism}}, {{wp|Zionism}}, and {{wp|Satanism}}.<br />
<br />
The post contained the following fabricated evidence of the character's names having anti-Islamic meanings and Zionist undertones when translated in English:<br />
* [[Pokémon]] meaning '''I am a Jew'''.<br />
* {{p|Pikachu}} meaning '''Be a Jew'''.<br />
* {{p|Charmander}} meaning '''God is weak'''.<br />
* {{p|Magikarp}} (misspelled as ''{{p|Magmar}}'') meaning '''God is stupid'''.<br />
* {{p|Growlithe}} meaning '''God is lazy'''.<br />
<br />
The following months would see those questionable claims get spread around by either word-of-mouth or anonymous printings of those very misleading rumors that originated off of that forum, which spiraled into a perplexing social smear campaign movement that succeeded in convincing a number of Arabic nations to outright ban and limit the presence of the Pokémon franchise, such as in {{wp|Egypt}}, where Mufti ''Nasser Fareed Wasel'' declared a ban on remotely interacting with any of its content on April 6, 2001.<br />
<br />
Some outspoken, fundamentalist Muslims claimed that Pokémon is a Jewish conspiracy intended to get Muslim children to renounce their faith.<ref>[http://www.cairoscene.com/LifeStyle/10-Egyptian-Conspiracy-Theories 10 Egyptian Conspiracy Theories]</ref><ref>[http://articles.latimes.com/2001/apr/24/news/mn-54861 Arabs See Jewish Conspiracy in Pokemon - latimes]</ref><ref>[http://archive.adl.org/presrele/islme_62/3791_62.html ADL denounces claim by Muslim leaders that Pokemon game is “Jewish Conspiracy" - Press Release] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160724034549/http://archive.adl.org/presrele/islme_62/3791_62.html archived copy])</ref><ref>[http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/saddam-hussein-tried-ban-pokemon-7732176 Saddam Hussein tried to ban POKEMON in Iraq for an utterly bizarre reason - Mirror Online]</ref> These same groups claimed that the word "Pokémon" means "I am Jewish", with the claimers and their followers generally unaware of the franchise's Japanese origin. The "Evolution vs. Creationism" conflict was also commonly brought up.<ref>[http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/691674/Saudi-Arabia-fatwa-Pokemon-GO-un-islamic-blasphemous-theory-of-natural-evolution Saudi Arabia issues fatwa against POKÉMON for being ‘un-Islamic’ and ‘blasphemous' | World | News | Express.co.uk]</ref><ref>[https://www.memri.org/tv/dubai-family-consultant-dr-khalifa-al-makhrazi-pok%C3%A9mon-go-prohibited-spreads-darwinism Dubai Family Consultant Dr. Khalifa Al-Makhrazi: Pokemon Go Is Prohibited, Spreads Darwinism | MEMRI]</ref><ref>[http://www.alifta.net/Fatawa/FatawaChapters.aspx?languagename=en&View=Page&PageID=10338&PageNo=1&BookID=7 Fatwas of the Permanent Committee]</ref><br />
<br />
In 2001, the {{wp|Grand Mufti}} of {{wp|Saudi Arabia}}, who is the highest religious authority in the kingdom, issued a {{wp|fatwā}} banning the Pokémon franchise. It claimed that the franchise promoted {{wp|Zionism}} by displaying a six-pointed star that resembles the {{wp|Star of David}} as well as other religious symbols such as crosses they associated with {{wp|Christianity}} and triangles they associated with {{wp|Freemasonry}} in the TCG and encouraged gambling in the games due to the inclusion of gambling elements, which is in violation of {{wp|Islam|Muslim}} doctrine.<ref>[http://www.theescapist.com/pokemon13.htm The Escapist - Archive - Saudi Bans Pokemon] ([https://archive.is/wPWh6 archived copy])</ref><ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1243307.stm BBC News | MIDDLE EAST | Saudi Arabia bans Pokemon] ([https://archive.is/9Hni1 archived copy])</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Jordanian newspaper caricature.jpg|250px|thumb|Caricature by Jordanian catoonist {{wp|Emad Hajjaj}}]]<br />
High Muslim authorities in {{wp|Qatar}} and {{wp|Egypt}} then joined the ban. As this happened during the {{wp|second Intifada}}, a {{wp|Jordan}}ian newspaper printed a caricature of Israeli Prime Minister {{wp|Ariel Sharon}} sitting in a tank and laughing at an Arab man chasing a Pokémon. This is meant to convey that Arabs are distracted from their conflict with the Israelis by popular franchises, with Pokémon as an example of such "distractions."<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1258633.stm BBC News | Middle East | Qatari religious leader bans Pokemon]</ref><ref>Peterson, Mark Allen. 'Anthropology & Mass Communication: Media and Myth in the New Millennium'. 2003. Print.</ref><br />
<br />
Despite the initial banning, which quickly wiped away [[Pokémon merchandise]], especially the card game, from markets in Saudi Arabia, Pokémon video games quickly returned to be sold normally, but under much less demand from local consumers. Some Pokémon merchandise, such as the {{OBP|Expedition Base Set|TCG}}, reappeared in certain stores a few years later, but newer sets were never brought. Games from [[Generation III]] on seem completely unaffected by the ban.<br />

It was edited out in the English dub of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, with the Grunts no longer raising their hands. Despite this, {{MTR}}'s arm remains unedited in the dub.<br />

====Koga's Ninja Trick====<br />
In 1999, the Jewish civil rights group {{wp|Anti-Defamation League}} took issue with [[Nintendo]]'s use of a ''manji'' ({{wp|swastika}}) in the original Japanese print of {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Koga's Ninja Trick|115}} from Challenge from the Darkness, because of the symbol's strong association with the German Nazi Party insignia in the {{wp|Western world}}, which they appropriated from the manji in 1920.<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickSwastikaOrigin>[https://archive.is/Klauq Article from the Holocaust Encylopedia about the history of the Swastika.]</ref> This was a sentiment echoed by Jewish parent Myla Specht, who said "We thought there had to be something we could do because it can be terrible for children."<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickCBS>[https://archive.is/M25KR Article quoting the situation with Koga's Ninja Trick in the United States.]</ref><br />
<br />
<gallery><br />

KogaNinjaTrickGymChallenge115.jpg|International print<br />
</gallery><br />
<br />
Response to criticism was mixed. Nintendo of America announced that the card featuring the artwork was to be discontinued in all territories<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickCBS></ref> even though no English copies of the cards were printed, as the complaints originated from American children receiving the card in imported packs. They also recognized that there was no ill-intent behind the manji's inclusion from "the card's Japanese creators",<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickCBS></ref> though the original illustrator, [[Sumiyoshi Kizuki]], has never publicly commented on the topic.<br />
<br />
Kenneth Jacobson, a spokesperson for the Anti-Defamation League, recognized Nintendo's sensitivity to the feelings of Jews and others to whom the swastika may offend. Conversely, Steve Weisman, who was upset after hearing that ten-year-old children were finding the cards from imported packs, said that Nintendo should do more, saying "maybe [including] a contribution to a Holocaust group. The whole premise of the game is kids having fun. This reminded people of 6 million deaths."<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickCBS></ref> Larry Rosensweig, a Jewish director at the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach, claimed that opposition to the manji symbol was "misplaced indignation", bringing up the fact that the manji had "been used throughout Asia for thousands of years and has nothing whatsoever to do with the Nazis or anti-Semitism", saying "there are plenty of things out there that people should be offended about."<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickCBS></ref><br />
<br />
In the resale market, the original print of Koga's Ninja Trick featuring the manji is often over twenty times more valuable when compared to its reprinted counterpart, even in Japanese markets.<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickPrice>[https://archive.is/4p4V6 Tweet showing a 20x price difference between both prints of Koga's Ninja Trick.]</ref> Other cards that directly reference Nazism, such as {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Secret Mission|118}}, drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]], which features the real-life map of German-occupied Poland during World War II, have not been changed in a similar manner, despite the sensitive subject material.<br />
<br />
====Registeel====<br />
In European releases of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the sprite art for {{p|Registeel}} is altered slightly. In the Japanese, Korean, and English releases, Registeel's arm is extended. In non-English European versions an altered sprite is used, depicting it with both of its arms down, presumably due to the original pose's resemblance to the {{wp|Roman salute}}, infamously {{wp|Nazi salute|used}} by (and therefore commonly associated with) the German {{wp|Nazism|Nazi Party}}. In all versions of {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the revised sprite is used.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, if the player shows the [[Yuichi Ueda|Game Director]] at the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] a Pokémon [[game of origin|originating]] from Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum, he gives them the [[Diploma|Time Travel Award]], featuring the Pokémon's original sprite from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Prior to v1.1.3, this award would use the original Japanese Pokémon Diamond and Pearl sprite for Registeel, although this award was not obtainable until [[Pokémon HOME]] support was added in v1.1.3 anyway; in v1.1.3, Registeel's sprite was replaced with the revised sprite used in Pokémon Platinum.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1473462097489104902</ref><br />

==Media-specific controversies==<br />
===Pokémon Shock incident===<br />
[[EP038|An episode]] of {{aniseries|PTS}} broadcast in December 1997 on Japanese television induced {{wp|Photosensitive epilepsy|photosensitive}} {{wp|epileptic seizure}}s in a substantial number of Japanese viewers, many of which required medical assistance. As a result, {{DL|Banned episodes|Banned episodes internationally|the episode was not broadcast overseas and never shown in Japan again}}, and the incident caused the {{pkmn|animated series}} to go into a temporary hiatus. Every Pokémon episode that aired until this episode, including [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|the opening]], was edited by lighting certain scenes, removing or changing fast-flashing scenes and more. The original version of the episodes have never been shown again, except for when the next episode preview for [[EP037]] was mistakenly retained on [[Hulu|Hulu Japan]]. For this, Pokémon currently holds the {{wp|Guinness World Records|Guinness Book World Record}} for the most photosensitive epileptic seizures caused by a TV show.<br />

===Pokémon Sword and Shield Pokédex===<br />
During the {{wp|Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3}} 2019 Nintendo Treehouse live stream on June 11, 2019,<ref>[https://youtu.be/TmWu-f6L0Mo Nintendo Treehouse: Live | E3 2019] - Youtube</ref> [[Junichi Masuda]] stated that some species of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} (455 in total across [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} to {{gen|VII}}) could not be transferred to {{g|Sword and Shield}}. After a massive amount of backlash from Pokémon fans (most of which involving the {{wp|hashtag}} #BringBackNationalDex), [[The Pokémon Company International]] posted a statement from Masuda in response on [[Pokémon.com]] in Japanese and English on June 28, 2019.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/a-message-for-pokemon-video-game-fans/ A Message for Pokémon Video Game Fans] - Pokémon.com</ref> Despite this reiterated statement, the fan backlash on social media continued, with many fans requesting that compatibility for all Pokémon be included in a post-launch patch. When asked about the possibility of a patch, Masuda stated that he had not yet finalized a decision on such a patch. The controversy became somewhat mitigated when the Expansion Pass was announced for the games, which added 221 of the missing Pokémon back in.<br />
<br />
This controversy is sometimes known as {{DL|Appendix:Fan terminology|Dexit}}, a portmanteau of [[Pokédex]] and {{wp|Brexit}}, which was the withdrawal of the {{wp|United Kingdom}} (the basis of [[Galar]], the setting of Sword and Shield) from the {{wp|European Union}}.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon UNITE===<br />
When [[Pokémon UNITE]] was first announced, it quickly attracted controversy due to it being developed by a subsidiary of {{wp|Tencent}}, which was controversial due to its ties to the Chinese government. It also brought up a controversy that had been steadily growing about the use of {{wp|microtransactions}} in Pokémon games. As a result of these controversies, the Pokémon UNITE reveal quickly became the most disliked video on [[The Pokémon Company]]'s [[YouTube]] channel.<ref>Oloman, Jordan (June 25, 2020).

[[File:Palworld.png|250px|thumb|The v0.1.0.0 title screen of Palworld]]<br />
{{wp|Palworld}} is a video game published by {{wp|Pocketpair}}, released in early access on January 19, 2024 for {{wp|Xbox Game Pass}} and {{wp|Steam}}. Within its first week, the game sold over eight million copies on Steam,<ref name=PalworldSales>[https://archive.is/bIHxn Palworld tweet claiming Palworld has sold over 8 million copies in less than six days.]</ref> surpassing the initial sales of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].<ref name=LASales>[https://archive.is/Pimvb Nintendo of America tweet claiming Pokémon Legends Arceus sold 6.5 million in its first week.]</ref> Palworld has frequently been compared to the [[Pokémon]] series due to its open-world monster-catching mechanics and action-oriented gameplay.<ref name=PalworldLA>Tweets of users comparing Palworld and Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

<br />
====Comparisons to Pokémon====<br />
Palworld received criticism from social media users drawing comparisons between Palworld and Pokémon's aesthetic, especially in regards to its roster of 111 "Pal" creatures at the time of its early access release.<ref name=111ListComparisons>[https://archive.is/F66QC Thread by Cecilia Fae comparing the list of "Pals" in Palworld to Pokémon designs]</ref><ref name=>[https://archive.is/361Sg Post by Acerola_t about Palworld's impact on the larger industry as a whole, referring to it as an "asset flip game".]</ref> Some influencers defended Palworld, which was followed by debate over the title's impact on the artists behind the Pokémon series.<ref name=>[https://archive.is/MzpQu A thread criticizing Twitch streamer Asmongold for his opinions on AI generated artwork and the artists behind both Palworld and the Pokémon series.]</ref><br />
<br />
Several users pointed out similarities between the Pal models found in Palworld and the Pokémon models from games such as {{g|Sun and Moon}}. In particular, the Pal "Azurobe" was compared to {{p|Serperior}} and {{p|Primarina}}.<ref name=PalworldAzurobe>[https://archive.is/zEcmm Comparison made between Palworld's "Azurobe" and Pokémon such as Serperior and Primarina.]</ref> One user comparing the models was accused of fabricating evidence due to uniformly scaling the model to make the comparison easier to see within a 3D modeling program,<ref name=PalworldAzurobeFabrication>[https://archive.is/PghBU A thread accusing the fabrication of evidence due to uniformly scaling "Azurobe" and "Serperior"'s models to be the same size.]</ref> though this accusation was disputed by others who clarified that uniformly scaling a model would not alter its mesh.<ref name=PalworldModelScale>[https://archive.is/9OMLq Post responding to those accusing fabrication by uniform model scaling.]</ref> A post also claimed that Azurobe and Serperior shared certain bone chains in equal number, and using a program to move them to match the same positions resulted in a near-identical topology.<ref name=PalworldModelTopology>[https://archive.is/VEJtH Post pointing out the identical amount of bone chains between Serperior and Azurobe.]</ref> <br />
<br />
Pals that are currently unobtainable in the game, such as "Boltmane" and "Dark Mutant", were also compared to existing Pokémon, such as {{p|Luxray}} and {{p|Mewtwo|Mega Mewtwo Y}}.<ref name=PalworldBoltmane>[https://archive.is/GyJvO A page on the Pal "Boltmane", who appears similar to Luxray]</ref><ref name=PalworldDarkMutant>[https://archive.is/wip/jrVZP A post about the pal "Dark Mutant", who appears similar to Mega Mewtwo Y.]</ref><br />
<br />
The release of Palworld was also met with further controversy surrounding recent entries in the Pokémon series such as {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, which was frequently compared to the game, particularly regarding its visuals,<ref name=>[https://archive.is/geCqM Tweet from company OperaGX comparing the visuals of Palworld and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.]</ref> with some arguing that Palworld's sudden success could prompt better game design from [[Game Freak]] through competition in the monster collection space.<ref name=>[https://archive.is/NSKoe Post by InfernoOmni arguing that Pokémon fans should want Palworld to be successful in order encourage Game Freak to improve the quality of their games]</ref><ref name=>[https://archive.is/Mxmjb Post from YourRAGE about the "sickening" response that Pokémon fans have to modern Pokémon releases.]</ref><ref name=>[https://archive.is/wip/kClAL Post from The Act Man about hopes for Palworld's success to push Game Freak to release games that aren't a "complete embarrassment"]</ref> <br />
<br />
Some content creators defended Palworld, claiming it was intentionally a parody of Pokémon.<ref name=>[https://youtu.be/JxN2nnlI4-0?t=1482 Video by InfernoOmni claiming Palworld is a parody.]</ref><ref name=>[https://archive.is/arjhw Post from a user claiming that Palworld's designs are an intentional parody of Pokémon's.]</ref><ref name=>[https://archive.is/VYwVr Post from YouTuber YourMovieSucks about confusion surrounding the plagiarism accusations and that Fair Use would protect the game from any legal trouble]</ref> Some argued that this constitutes {{wp|fair use}}; however, the doctrine does not apply in Japanese law.<br />
<br />
Interviews in 2021 from the game's director mentioned that any comparisons to Pokémon were "lucky" and that they "totally didn't intend it."<ref name=>[https://archive.is/3ZXZS Interview between Takuro Mizobe and TheGamer in 2021 about how any comparisons to Pokémon were unintentional.]</ref> <br />
<br />
====Use of generative AI====<br />
[[File:Takuro Mizobe.png|250px|left|thumb|Takuro Mizobe, the director of Palworld]]<br />
Additional scrutiny was raised toward game director Takuro Mizobe for use of generative AI during the game's development,<ref name=MizobeAIScrutiny>[https://archive.is/o8kDN Evidence of scrutiny against Mizobe's use of ChatGPT.]</ref><ref name=PalworldCredits>[https://archive.is/HCmeJ The Palworld website, which showcases the credits for the game]</ref><ref name=MizobeAIDevelopment>[https://archive.is/dJXb5 Mizobe posting in 2023 about using ChatGPT to develop Palworld (Japanese: '''"パルワールドのオープニング デモの仕様、なんかいい感じ に作っておいて下さい!!"'''

<br />
====Industry reactions and legal scrutiny====<br />
In an interview with Automaton Media, Mizobe mentioned that Palworld cleared legal reviews prior to its release with no objections<ref name=PalworldLegalReviews>[https://archive.is/m2mCu Interview between Palworld director Takuro Mizobe and Automaton about the game's legal reviews.]</ref> and that Palworld was not at all similar to Pokémon. Despite this, in a different interview with the same publication, Mizobe noted that the developers directly referenced Pokémon as a "great predecessor", further stating that he was impressed by games like Pokémon Legends: Arceus and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.<ref name=PalworldGreatPredecessor>[https://archive.is/tPIgh Interview between Palworld director Takuro Mizobe and Automaton about the game's relation to Pokémon]</ref><br />
<br />
The controversy was commented on by various professionals from the video game industry. VGC spoke to two anonymous AAA game artists claiming that the model comparisons done by other users indicated a potential legal battle between the companies that own the rights to Pokémon against Pocketpair, with a senior character artist adding that they would "stand in court to testify as an expert on this."<ref name=PalworldPlagiarismAccusations>[https://archive.is/hidNJ Interview by VGC talking about Palworld's plagiarism accusations]</ref> <br />
<br />
{{wp|Keitai Denjū Telefang}} and {{wp|Monster Crown}} designer [https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=68358 Saiko Takaki] wrote a thread commenting on the history of Pokémon plagiarism, where she claimed that her work on Telefang was designed to not be similar to Pokémon's, with Palworld's designs "clearly adding or subtracting" from existing ones, though noted that she had no comments to make on the actual gameplay, saying it "seemed fun, which is a shame."<ref name=SaikoTakaki>[https://archive.is/jEHdh Thread by Telefang and Monster Crown designer Saiko Takaki discussing Palworld.]</ref> <br />
<br />
[[The Pokémon Company International]]'s Ex-Chief Legal Officer [[Dan McGowan]], who was the head of the company's legal team between 2008 to 2020, told ''GamesRadar'' that he was "surprised it got this far", and that it "looks like the usual ripoff nonsense that [he] would see a thousand times a year".<ref name=PalworldExTPCLegalOfficer>[https://archive.is/pEm7N Interview between ex-Pokémon CLO Dan McGowan and GamesRadar.]</ref><br />
<br />
====Public response and impact====<br />
On January 22, Mizobe claimed that the team behind Palworld were receiving threats of violence and claims of slander, calling for people to stop.<ref name=PalworldThreats>[https://archive.is/Ofa7Q Palworld director Takuro Mizobe's claims that the team were receiving threats of violence and slanderous claims.]</ref> <br />

On January 23, a user that edited the models of Palworld to include various Pokémon, as well as characters such as {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} as part of a paid mod released on their Patreon,<ref name=PalworldModder>[https://archive.is/bnUVI IGN article on the person that modded Pokémon characters into Palworld.]</ref> claimed that "Nintendo had come for me" less than 24 hours later, with his video of the mod on Twitter being disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner after garnering 11.5 million views.<ref name=PalworldModVideo>[https://archive.is/aMsM0 A now-disabled video showcasing Pokémon characters in Palworld.]</ref><br />
<br />
On February 1, Japanese {{wp|tabloid}} magazine ''{{wp|Tokyo Sports}}'' received an alleged tip stating that professionals in the Japanese entertainment industry were actively told to not associate with Palworld.<ref name=PalworldTokyoSports>[https://archive.is/E7V9U Article from Japanese tabloid magazine ''Tokyo Sports.'']</ref> An anonymous senior executive told ''Tokyo Sports'' that they have told their talent "not to mention Palworld on SNS or in public" out of the concern that it could impact future collaborations with the Pokémon brand.<br />
<br />
On the morning of January 25, The Pokémon Company issued an official statement on their website<ref name=ThePokémonCompanyPalworldStatement>[https://archive.is/oT1L6 Post on The Pokémon Company website regarding Palworld.]</ref> in both Japanese and English, which read as the following:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
'''''Inquiries Regarding Other Companies' Games'''''<br />
<br />
''"We have received many inquiries regarding another company's game released in January 2024. We have not granted any permission for the use of Pokémon intellectual property or assets in that game. We intend to investigate and take appropriate measures to address any acts that infringe on intellectual property rights related to the Pokémon. We will continue to cherish and nurture each and every Pokémon and its world, and work to bring the world together through Pokémon in the future."''<br />
<br />
''The Pokémon Company''<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
On February 6, during [[Nintendo]]'s review of the previous fiscal year, company president [[Shuntaro Furukawa]] directly mentioned Pocketpair, Palworld, and the game's similarity to the Pokémon series, stating, "We will take appropriate action against those that infringe on our intellectual property rights."<ref name=FurukawaPalworld>[https://archive.is/uvDiD Article reporting on Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa's statements regarding Pocketpair and Palworld.]</ref><br />
<br />
====Patent lawsuit====<br />
On September 19, Nintendo, together with The Pokémon Company, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against creator Pocketpair at the Tokyo District Court, seeking an "injunction against infringement and compensation for damages on the grounds that Palworld, a game developed and released by the Defendant, infringes multiple patent rights".<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/en/2024/240919.html Filing Lawsuit for Infringement of Patent Rights against Pocketpair, Inc. - Nintendo Co.

<br />
===Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket plagiarism accusation===<br />
On July 29, 2025, cards from the then-upcoming [[Wisdom of Sea and Sky (TCG Pocket)|Wisdom of Sea and Sky]] set for [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]] were datamined from the game's files ahead of the set's official release. Shortly thereafter, Twitter user @lanjiujiu observed that the leaked [[Immersive card (TCG Pocket)|immersive]] print of {{TCG ID|Wisdom of Sea and Sky|Ho-Oh ex|34}}, illustrated by [[SIE NANAHARA]], appeared to be traced directly from fan art they had made nearly four years prior.<ref>[https://archive.is/7yqLo @lanjiujiu on Twitter] (archived from the original July 29, 2025; retrieved July 31, 2025)</ref><br />
<br />
Almost exactly 24 hours after this post, a statement was issued by the development team.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/notice-regarding-new-illustrations Notice Regarding New Illustrations | Pokemon.com]</ref> In it, they confirm that "the card production team provided incorrect materials as official documents to the illustrator" during the creation of both the immersive print of Ho-Oh ex, as well as the creation of the immersive print of {{TCG ID|Wisdom of Sea and Sky|Lugia ex|149}}. As a result, the artwork intended for both of these cards were substituted with placeholder images before the set's official release, which will then be replaced with new artwork when available. Additionally, the team pledged to conduct "a broader investigation to ensure no similar issues exist elsewhere in the game," and to "[strengthen their] quality control processes to prevent this from happening again."<br />
<br />
On the morning of July 31, 2025, another statement was issued by the development team, writing that they've since become aware of criticism levied at the illustrator, and clarifying that [[Creatures, Inc.]] and [[The Pokémon Company]] provided references that were not official and that any responsibility for the situation lies with them.<ref>[https://twitter.com/PokemonTCGP_JP/status/1950874266016354333 Request regarding Ho-Oh ex (★3), Lugia ex (★3)]</ref> They further explain that with certain illustrations, the artist will occasionally be asked to trace concept sketches created by the card production team, and that the illustrator was simply abiding by this request. The statement ends with a request to refrain from criticizing or slandering SIE NANAHARA, and a reiterated promise to strengthen their quality control processes.<br />
<br />
On August 8, 2025, updated artwork and animations for Ho-Oh ex and Lugia ex's immersive prints were released, once again illustrated by SIE NANAHARA.<ref>[https://twitter.com/PokemonTCGP/status/1953683542182924568 @PokemonTCGP on Twitter]</ref><br />

=== US Department of Homeland Security social media video ===<br />
On September 23, 2025, the {{wp|Second presidency of Donald Trump|Trump-led}} {{wp|United States Department of Homeland Security}} posted a video with the caption "Gotta Catch ‘Em All" on their social media platforms. It showed a series of raids and arrests intermittent with footage of [[Ash Ketchum]], and featuring mugshots of suspects edited to be Pokémon cards, all set to the [[Pokémon Theme]] song.<ref name="DHSPokemon">[https://www.polygon.com/pokemon-ice-dhs-nintendo/ 'Gotta catch 'em all': The US government is now using Pokémon to promote ICE raids]</ref><br />
<br />
The video has received widespread criticism, with many fans asking Nintendo and The Pokémon Company to take action. In response, [[The Pokémon Company International]] told Polygon and Eurogamer:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
''"We are aware of a recent video posted by the Department of Homeland Security that includes imagery and language associated with our brand. Our company was not involved in the creation or distribution of this content, and permission was not granted for the use of our intellectual property.<br />

</blockquote><br />
<br />
No legal action has been taken by Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, or The Pokémon Company International as of yet, though former TPCi legal chief Don McGowan believes that the company will do nothing in response to protect its brand image and avoid deportation of its executives.<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/fans-want-pokmon-to-sue-after-department-of-homeland-security-video-uses-ash-ketchum-to-promote-ice-but-the-companys-former-legal-boss-says-he-wouldnt-touch-this Fans Want Pokémon to Sue After Department of Homeland Security Video Uses Ash Ketchum to Promote ICE — But The Company's Former Legal Boss Says He 'Wouldn't Touch This']</ref><br />

=== White House social media usage of the Pokopia Font Generator ===<br />
On March 5, 2026, the official White House X social media account posted an [https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/2029566106650767581/ image generated using the "Pokopia Font Generator"]. The post featured the infamous slogan of Donald Trump, "{{wp|Make America Great Again}}". In response, [[The Pokémon Company International]] issued a statement condemning such actions. The company's spokesperson, Sravanthi Dev said to media outlets:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
''"We are aware of recent social content that includes imagery associated with our brand.

==Legal issues==<br />
Various lawsuits have been filed against [[Nintendo]], [[The Pokémon Company]], and related entities regarding [[Pokémon]] or Pokémon characters.<br />
<br />
===Uri Geller===<br />
[[File:DarkKadabraTeamRocket39.jpg|thumb|200px|Dark Kadabra TCG card]]<br />
Israeli magician {{wp|Uri Geller}}, known for his attribution of his spoon-bending tricks to alleged {{wp|psychic}} abilities, sued Nintendo, alleging that {{p|Kadabra}} (known as ''Yungerer'' in Japan) was an unauthorized use of his name and likeness. Besides Kadabra's use of [[Twisted Spoon|bent spoons]] to enhance its {{t|psychic}} powers, the {{wp|katakana}} for its name (ユンゲラー) is visually similar to the transliteration of his own name into Japanese (ユリゲラー). In particular, he took issue with Kadabra cards in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], especially the existence of the card {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Kadabra|39}} (named "Evil Yungerer" in Japanese). Geller, who is Jewish, additionally argued that Kadabra's design is {{wp|Antisemitism|antisemitic}} due to the five-pointed star on its forehead and the lightning bolts resembling the logo of the {{wp|Waffen-SS}}.<ref name="BBC"/> He is quoted as saying "Nintendo turned me into an evil, occult Pokémon character. Nintendo stole my identity by using my name and my signature image."<ref name="BBC"/> The symbols themselves are taken from those used on {{wp|Zener cards}}, which have been used to conduct research into supposed psychic abilities since the 1930s, and Geller has personally used in some of his magic tricks.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbI8i17COJQ&t=341 The Man Who Stopped Game Freak from Using Kadabra - Uri Geller | Save Data | YouTube]</ref><br />
<br />
Geller told news outlets that he first became aware of Kadabra and its similarities to him while he was Christmas shopping at a {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} store in Japan. According to Geller, the store manager "rushed out from his office continuously bowing," followed by "hundreds of children [thrusting] Pokemon cards at him to autograph while chanting what sounded like Uri Geller."<ref name="Guardian"/><br />
<br />
In December 1999, he told news outlets that he was planning to sue Nintendo. Geller retained lawyers in Tokyo and the United States, and told news outlets that he was pursuing legal action in "Europe, America, Latin America and Australasia". In the US, his lawyer said they were planning to sue for US$100 million. When reached for comment, Nintendo in Japan told news outlets they had not yet received the lawsuit.<ref name="Guardian">[https://www.theguardian.com/uk/1999/dec/29/2 Nintendo faces £60m writ from Uri Geller | UK News | The Guardian] ([https://archive.today/XkBzu archived copy])</ref> Nintendo told news outlets "None of the Pokémon characters is given a name based on the image of any particular person".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070224021819/http://news.zdnet.co.uk/emergingtech/0,1000000183,2076058,00.htm Uri Geller sues Pokemon | ZDnet]</ref> When VICE investigated the case in 2018, they were unable to find any evidence of Geller ever filing a lawsuit in Japan, although they were unable to contact the Japanese lawyer who Geller had retained.<ref name="VICE">[https://www.vice.com/de/article/pa947m/uri-gellers-kampf-gegen-pokemon-kadabra-nintendo Uri Geller vs. Kadabra: Die bizarre Geschichte hinter der verschwundenen Pokémon-Karte | VICE] (in German)</ref><br />
<br />
In November 2000, it was reported that Geller had begun legal action against Nintendo in Los Angeles federal court, for using his likeness (Kadabra) on Pokémon cards without authorization. It was reported that his lawsuit alleged he should receive substantial damages and that Nintendo cease producing cards containing his likeness.<ref name="BBC">[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/1003454.stm BBC News | ENTERTAINMENT | Geller sues Nintendo over Pokémon] ([https://archive.today/AhjVR archived copy])</ref> When VICE researched the case in 2018, they were only able to find documents filed from 2001 to 2003.<ref name="VICE"/><br />
<br />
In 2001, Geller, along with Liechtenstein company Sambracal AG (who own the rights to Geller's name and likeness), sued Nintendo, arguing that the use of his likeness in Kadabra violated his rights under California's privacy laws. However, the judge ruled that as he was not a citizen or resident of the United States (he is a citizen of Israel and the United Kingdom who lived in the United Kingdom at the time), he was not eligible for protection under these privacy laws, so he could only sue under privacy laws in the United Kingdom, but no such laws existed that would protect him in this case; that part of the case was dismissed on August 16, 2001, but Geller continued to sue arguing that the cards violated the trademark rights to his own name. In November 2002, a judge dismissed Geller's trademark claims against Nintendo of America, ruling that there was insufficient evidence that Nintendo of America was involved in the distribution of Japanese language Kadabra cards in the United States (since only the Japanese language cards bore a similarity to Geller's name); since the Japanese language cards were only intended to be distributed in Japan, only Japanese trademark law could be applied, but Geller did not own a trademark on his name in Japan. On March 3, 2003, Geller's lawsuit was dismissed by the judge.<ref name="VICE"/><br />
<br />
Despite Geller losing his lawsuit, it seemed to have a {{wp|chilling effect}} on the usage of Kadabra in official Pokémon media. From 2003 to 2022, there were no new Kadabra cards released in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], with the last Kadabra card to be printed before the drought being in {{TCG|Skyridge}} in 2003. Kadabra had not appeared in the [[Pokémon animated series]] since ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'' in 2006. In a July 2008 interview with [[PokéBeach]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] stated that usage of Kadabra on a card is not allowed until an agreement was reached and that the case would not be settled anytime soon.<ref>[http://pokebeach.com/2008/07/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points Second Interview with Masamitsu Hidaka – Many Interesting Points! (July 4th, 2008) « Website News « PokéBeach] ([https://archive.today/ApNJu archived copy])</ref><br />
<br />
{{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} cards have continued to be printed, despite the lack of Kadabra cards. In matches that prevent the use of older cards, this made it impossible to play Alakazam without using cards that allow Alakazam to be played directly without evolving it from Kadabra, such as {{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Rare Candy|88}}. The only {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Abra|69}} card released between {{TCG|Skyridge}} and 2023, in {{tcg|Mysterious Treasures}}, has an attack that allows it to evolve directly into Alakazam, skipping the Kadabra stage. Any {{TCG|Alakazam}} cards printed since were Basic Pokémon that did not need to evolve from anything.<br />
<br />
On November 27, 2020, The Gamer published an article about the history of Geller and Kadabra.<ref>[https://www.thegamer.com/kadabra-pokemon-card/ Why There Hasn’t Been A Kadabra Pokemon Card For Almost 20 Years | The Gamer]</ref> The following day, after being contacted by a reader of The Gamer's article,<ref>[https://twitter.com/BristolBeadz/status/1332954024245678082 Tweet from the author of The Gamer's first article]</ref> Geller reached out to The Gamer, telling them that he had sent a letter to "the chairman of Nintendo giving them permission to relaunch the Uri Geller Kadabra/Yungeller worldwide", which they published in a follow-up article.<ref>[https://www.thegamer.com/uri-geller-nintendo-permission-kadabra-pokemon-cards/ Uri Geller Gives Nintendo Permission To Print Kadabra On Pokemon Cards Again | The Gamer]</ref> The next day, Geller tweeted that he was sorry about "what [he] did 20 years ago", and that he was rescinding the ban; the tweet included an image of The Gamer's second article and a link to his personal museum,<ref>[https://twitter.com/theurigeller/status/1332794451727691777 Uri Geller's tweet]</ref> which at the time was scheduled to open in December 2020 after its opening had been postponed by the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20201129015756/https://urigellermuseum.com/ Uri Geller Museum website] (archive)</ref><br />
<br />
In 2021, Kadabra made its first appearance in {{pkmn|animation}} since 2006 in the [[Pokémon Evolutions]] episode ''[[PE07|The Show]]'' (debuting December 16, 2021). The first {{TCG ID|151|Kadabra|64}} card printed since Skyridge is included in the {{TCG|Pokémon Card 151}} subset in Japan (released June 16, 2023) and its counterpart {{TCG|151}} expansion in English (released September 22, 2023).<br />

===Power Bouncer suffocation incident===<br />
In January 1999, a 7-year-old boy suffocated to death after a Pokémon [[Power Bouncer]] ball became lodged in his throat while playing with it. After his death, his parents created a website named "Pokémon Kills", criticizing Hasbro and Pokémon for not taking appropriate safety measures in their product design.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20000511143552/http://www.pokemonkills.com/ Pokémon Kills]</ref> In November 1999, the boy's parents filed a lawsuit against Hasbro and Toys "R" Us.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1999/11/13/nyregion/parents-of-boy-who-choked-to-death-on-pokemon-ball-file-suit.html Parents of Boy Who Choked to Death on Pokemon Ball File Suit | New York Times] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20230924103450/https://www.nytimes.com/1999/11/13/nyregion/parents-of-boy-who-choked-to-death-on-pokemon-ball-file-suit.html archive])</ref><br />

===Burger King toy suffocation incident===<br />
In December 1999, as a promotion for ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{wp|Burger King}} released a [[1999 Burger King promotional Pokémon toys|series of promotional toys]] in handheld [[Poké Ball]]s with their Kids' Meals. After a child suffocated because she had covered her mouth and nose with half of the Poké Ball, Burger King recalled the Poké Balls and exchanged them for food for a limited amount of time.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/581493.stm BBC News | AMERICAS | Burger King in Pokemon recall] ([https://archive.today/pffGd archived copy])</ref><br />

===Yasukuni Shrine===<br />
{{wp|Yasukuni Shrine}} is a {{wp|Controversies surrounding Yasukuni Shrine|controversial}} shrine located in Tokyo, Japan. The shrine, said by Shinto practitioners to house the souls of fallen soldiers who fought for Japan, has been the subject of scrutiny over the years for including 1,066 military officials convicted of {{wp|Japanese war crimes|various war crimes}} by the 1946 International Military Tribunal for the Far East, including 12 convicted {{wp|Class A war criminals}}. Visits to the shrine have attracted controversy in {{pmin|South Korea}} and {{pmin|Chinese|China}} due to Japan having colonized and conducted war crimes in these regions before and during {{wp|World War II}}.<br />

===2024 Pokémon World Championships location announcement===<br />
At the end of the [[2023 Pokémon World Championships]] on August 13, 2023, it was announced that next year's [[Pokémon World Championships]] would be held in {{wp|Honolulu}}, {{wp|Hawaii}}; it is the fourth World Championships to be held in Hawaii. As the location was announced in the wake of {{wp|2023 Hawaii wildfires|wildfires happening throughout Hawaii}} beginning in early August 2023, this announcement was met with criticism; people cited issues with announcing the location during an ongoing tragedy in Hawaii, and the over-tourism in the state causing problems as it tries to meet the tourism demand.<ref>Nightingale, Ed (August 14, 2023).

'''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]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has three main [[#Form data|forms]]: '''10% Forme''', '''50% Forme''', and '''Complete Forme'''. Zygarde, exclusively in its Complete Forme, can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Zygarde''' using the [[Zygardite]]. All forms of Zygarde are composed of '''[[Zygarde Core]]s''' and '''[[Zygarde Cell]]s'''.<br />
<br />
Zygarde can switch between its 10% and 50% Formes at the [[Reassembly Unit]] or with the [[Zygarde Cube]]. If its [[Ability]] is {{a|Power Construct}} and its [[HP]] drops below half, then Zygarde in either form will change into its Complete Forme. <small>(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data&rarr;Form data]] for these details.)</small><br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}, having no name originally. Zygarde 10% Forme and Zygarde Complete Forme, as well as the Zygarde Cells and Zygarde Cores, were revealed in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine and later introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Mega Zygarde was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
{{ga|Zygarde}} plays a [[Game mascot|central role]] in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, serving as one of the game's key figures. A [[Squishy|Zygarde Core]] plays an important role in the ''[[S19|XY&Z]]'' arc of {{aniseries|XY}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:Zygarde Core SM concept art.png|thumb|left|170px|Zygarde Cores make up the brain of the species]]<br />
Zygarde is a green and black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} composed of smaller units known as [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s, who collectively define its appearance and power by assembling in different percentages. In all of Zygarde's forms, the various Cores and Cells are represented as green and black hexagons that glow when it attacks. It has also been shown to be able to fly in all of its forms.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the guardian of the [[Pokémon world]]'s ecosystem, firmly believing that it has a duty to protect it,<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: ''"It is said this [[Legendary Pokémon]] is a guardian of the ecosystem."''</ref><ref name="50%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20171003202529mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ archived])</ref><ref name="50%ZA">[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde50 Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> and is responsible for monitoring it for abnormalities from caves such as [[Kalos]]'s [[Terminus Cave]] and [[Alola]]'s [[Resolution Cave]]. It is described as a being that seeks to correct excess, find moderation, and restore balance. Zygarde can {{a|Aura Break|reverse}} the effects of {{p|Xerneas}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{p|Yveltal}}'s {{a|Dark Aura}}, thus ensuring the equilibrium of the cycle of life and death are kept in check.<ref>''"[[Kalos]]ian Legends: {{p|Xerneas}}, the Life Pokémon, and {{p|Yveltal}}, the Destruction Pokémon, both hail from the beautiful Kalos [[region]]. While they stand in opposition, the Order Pokémon Zygarde is said to help keep the ecosystem in equilibrium."'' - ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]]'', page 282</ref> Normally, it avoids getting involved in conflicts unless the ecosystem is in grave danger.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon! | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> It is also known to ask for [[human]]s to assist it in protecting the ecosystem when necessary, but can still be wary of those it does not trust. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Z". In the animated series, a Zygarde Core and two Zygarde in their 50% Forme have had the green coloration on their bodies changed to red as a result of the influence of [[Team Flare]]'s [[Mega Evolution]] energy weapon; moreover, all of their formes were depicted as capable of [[Talking Pokémon|human speech]] via telepathy.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]]s {{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}}.<br />
<br />
===Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells===<br />
{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#FFF; margin: 0 5px; float:right"<br />
| class="roundy" width="50%" style="background:#{{unknown color light}}; padding:5px" | {{color2|000|Zygarde Core}}<br>[[File:718Zygarde-Core.png|100px]]<br />

|}<br />
Physically, a Zygarde Core and a Zygarde Cell are almost identical. Both are small, green, cell-like blobs that resemble a {{wp|planarian}}. Their bodies are gelatinous, semitranslucent, and can be segmented into three sections: a large, round head, an abdomen with a colored hexagon, and a stubby tail. They have two eyes, though one is larger and has a pupil, and can stand on their tail (a trait most associated with the Core). The difference between a Core and a Cell is subtle: Cores have a black pupil and a red hexagon embedded inside their abdomen, while these are both green on Cells.<br />
<br />
On their own, neither Cores nor Cells have the power to battle, needing to assemble in order to take action. The Cells exist in far greater numbers than the Cores, therefore making up the majority of any given form of Zygarde. However, they lack wills of their own and can only act in accordance to the orders of a Core. The Cores act as Zygarde's brain,<ref name=CoresCells>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ Zygarde's Cores and Cells | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160814031551/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ archived])</ref> and Zygarde may have up to five of them. It can also use its Cells for [[move|attacks]], such as raining them down like {{m|Thousand Arrows|arrows}} or scattering them throughout the ground in {{m|Thousand Waves|waves}} before they're recalled into its body. When Zygarde exhausts all of its power, it splits back into individual Cores and Cells and scatters all over the world, reaching even far-off lands. While in this state, they absorb the native power of said lands and may request assistance from [[human]]s in order to reassemble.<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"When Zygarde used up its strength protecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from the light of [[ultimate weapon]]... its parts scattered to far-off places, absorbing the power of those lands and seeking [[human]]s who would give it aid."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> As seen in various media, Zygarde Cells demonstrate some form of will of their own and are capable of moving independently, without a Zygarde Core commanding them.<br />
<br />
===Forms===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme, which are composed of [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s. Zygarde Complete Forme can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde.<br />

====10% Forme====<br />
[[File:Zygarde 10 Percent SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Concept art of Zygarde's 10% Forme]]<br />
Zygarde 10% Forme is a relatively small {{wp|Canis|canine}} Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, though its neck, muzzle, mouth, eyebrows, and left front paw are green. Additionally, it has two green hexagons on its chest and a single one on its rear. From its neck, a green ribbon-like extension comes out, next to an elongated red hexagon, giving the impression of a leash and dog tag, respectively. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils, and there is a thin white line on its forehead. Its mouth is fitted with razor-sharp fangs. On each of its legs are black 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.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme is assumed in cases of emergency, created when it calls and gathers a tenth of its Cells across the land when it needs to fight. Because only a single Core serves as its brain, it cannot maintain this form indefinitely, and it will eventually fall apart. Nonethless, it is skilled at close-range combat, overwhelming and quickly defeating its opponents by leaping at their chests and sinking its fangs into them. It is also capable of running at speeds greater than 60 mph (100 km/h).<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143708/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde10 Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Concept art of Zygarde 10% Forme shows that it can wrap its "leash" around the arm of someone it trusts.<br />
{{left clear}}<br />
<br />
====50% Forme====<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme is a large {{wp|Snake|serpentine}} Pokémon. 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 several small, green hexagons on its body that occasionally glow white.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 50% Forme is assembled from half of its Cells and up to 3 Cores reuniting. Although this form is only half of its full potential, its power is capable of overwhelming anyone who stands in its way.<ref name="50%ZA"/><ref name="50%SunMoon"/> The 50% Forme is known to be both ruthless and merciless to its foes. There are rumors that an even greater power lies hidden within it, as it is capable of {{a|Power Construct|changing}} to a more powerful form when battling those who threaten the ecosystem. Its frill can be shown vibrating as it attacks. As seen in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Zygarde 50% Forme can summon and control massive roots for attacks and covering areas.<br />
<br />
====Complete Forme====<br />
Zygarde Complete Form is a large, humanoid Pokémon. 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 mouth that when opened, reveals five hexagons colored red, orange, white, cyan, and blue, respectively. It has a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's.<br />
<br />
The Complete Forme is Zygarde's perfected form, created when 100% of its Cells and Cores are gathered. In this state, Zygarde can fight at full power and complete its duty of protecting the ecosystem by suppressing those who willingly endanger it. Zygarde Complete Forme contains 5 Cores, one for each of its wings and its tail. Despite all of them being in a single body, each Core can make decisions and act independently of the others.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160715204745/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ archived])</ref> The Zygarde Cores can freely change the shapes of the four wings and tail for a variety of roles. Notably, the tip of its wings can form snake-like heads that can be used to attack with energy beams, propel itself, and restore an unbalanced ecosystem back to normal, as seen in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. The zigzagging mouth on its chest can radiate enough high-powered energy to destroy everything around it, even firing energy beams from within it.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde-complete Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> It has also been shown to form a green, protective barrier to shield itself and its allies. It has also been shown using Core Enforcer as a rush attack, leaving a Z-shaped carving in its opponents while dashing through them before it explodes. The Complete Forme is only used to neutralize huge threats to the ecosystem, such as [[Lysandre]]'s [[Giant Rock]], the [[Laquium|Laquium Core]], the [[ultimate weapon]], [[Ultra Burst|Ultra]] {{Adv|Necrozma}}, and {{DL|Ange|Hyperrogue Ange Floette}}. It is powerful enough to overwhelm even {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />

<br />
====Mega Zygarde====<br />
Overall, Mega Zygarde retains most of Zygarde Complete Forme's humanoid structure, but the Cells composing its body have been strategically relocated. Notably, it has lost most, if not all, of the hexagons composing Zygarde Complete Forme's lower body, arms, and wings, exposing its light green body. As a result of this, Mega Zygarde has completely lost its wings, having seemingly replaced them with six smaller arm-like structures. On its legs, only the three hexagons on each knee remain, though they changed from symmetrical white and green to asymmetrical black and white. The lower part of Zygarde Complete Forme's chest, starting from the multicolored mouth, has also opened, giving the impression it has ripped into strands of black hexagons similar to tree roots. The green, eye-like patterns on its chest now have each a differently colored hexagon on them (one red, one blue). Underneath the chest plate, a series of five white hexagons cover the true body. White, chain-like hexagonal patterns run down Mega Zygarde's uncovered torso, arms, and legs, as well as on its back and under its feet. Its arms don't end in hands, but split into three hexagonal digits. Mega Zygarde's headpiece and tail remain mostly unchanged from its base form, only having lost the green hexagons on its face and having more of those on its tail. Its crown is lit up by a green flame, and its eyes are green as well.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is said to be born as a result of people's emotions during an unprecedented crisis, allowing it to calm the situation with its unmatched power. Its defining feature is the giant cannon held above Mega Zygarde's head by its six smaller arms. The cannon has a cylindrical shape, somewhat resembling a tree trunk, decorated with several shapes and lines similar to Zygarde 10% Forme's leash. The cannon is mostly black, with dark blue and dark red patches circling its length. At the cannon's muzzle, there is a pink symbol resembling a cross between an "X" and a "Y" surrounded by red, blue, and pink lines. Its interior features a circle, three hexagons, and a central circle, while its back has a dark green hexagon at the center. When Mega Zygarde attacks with its cannon, the muzzle pattern shines in the shape of an "X", "Y", and "Z" before opening up, unleashing a {{m|Nihil Light|beam of light that defies nature itself}}, which has been likened to the [[Z-Move]]s found in the [[Alola]] [[region]].<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"And now that I think of it... The moves that Zygarde used when it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]—they reminded me of [[Z-Moves]], like those used in the [[Alola]] region."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> Such an attack was powerful enough to overpower Hyperrogue Ange Floette's powered-up {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which threatened to annihilate all of [[Lumiose City]], as well as to break through the [[Laquium]] Core's defenses and heavily damage it, as seen in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]''. It has been referred to as "Lumiose's Guardian"<ref>[[Research Task (HOME)|Kalos Region Tasks]]</ref> due to it saving Lumiose City from Hyperrogue Ange Floette.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is the only known Pokémon capable of using the move {{m|Nihil Light}}, an upgraded version of {{m|Core Enforcer}}.<br />

<br />
===Form data===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s appear in the story in some games, but they are not catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and are not included in the [[Pokédex]]; they make up Zygarde's forms and are not forms themselves.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde's only form is its 50% Forme, which was unnamed at the time. The 10% Forme and Complete Forme were introduced to the games in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. It can switch between its 10% Forme and 50% Forme using the [[Reassembly Unit]] or the [[Zygarde Cube]], and can enter its Complete Forme in {{pkmn|battle}} if it has {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme and 50% Forme can have {{a|Aura Break}} or Power Construct as their [[Ability]]. Internally, Zygarde's Ability difference is itself a separate form. This makes it impossible to change Zygarde's Ability with [[Ability Capsule]]s or [[Ability Patch]]es; the Reassembly Unit or the Zygarde Cube must be used instead.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Aura Break}}<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde can only have {{a|Aura Break}} as an [[Ability]] and has no other forms.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VII]], a Zygarde with Aura Break can be transformed by the [[Reassembly Unit]]. This machine can create a 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break or change a 10% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break to a 50% Forme Zygarde. It can also change either to a 50% Forme Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}<br />
The [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change form" function ("Change Forme" in Generation VII) 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.<br />
<br />
Any Zygarde with Power Construct will change to Complete Forme in battle if its [[HP]] drops below half. When the battle ends, it returns to its original form with the same HP it ended the battle with (within its original form's maximum HP).<br />
<br />
Zygarde has a unique form change animation when changing to its Complete Forme, which shows Zygarde Cells (represented by green hexagons) gathering to change its form.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], due to the lack of Abilities, the distinction between Zygarde with Aura Break and Zygarde with Power Construct does not exist. Instead, any 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde will change into Complete Forme when its HP is reduced to half or less, increasing its maximum HP and gaining current HP equal to the amount of maximum HP gained. If Zygarde's HP is reduced below the threshold while it is using a [[move]], it will transform when the move finishes. Zygarde is invulnerable while changing into Complete Forme. It will change back to its previous form if it is recalled while out of battle, retaining the HP it had at that time; if this is above the maximum HP of its original form, its HP will become equal to its maximum HP.<br />

Zygarde's [[base stats]] differ between its three forms. Additionally, it can only [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] when it is in its Complete Forme. If it knows the move {{m|Core Enforcer}} when it Mega Evolves, the move will be replaced with {{m|Nihil Light}} until the Mega Evolution ends.<br />

[[File:Z2 50 Percent Forme.png|thumb|250px|Zygarde 50% Forme in {{aniseries|XY}}]]<br />
===Main series===<br />
====Major appearances====<br />
Zygarde is a major target of [[Team Flare]] in {{aniseries|XY}}. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core|Cores]] debuted in ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]''.<br />
<br />
=====[[Squishy]]=====<br />
With the help of [[Mairin]]'s {{p|Chespin}}, [[Chespie]], a Zygarde 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}}. In ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', Squishy transformed into its 10% and 50% Formes to defend itself against [[Bryony]] and her subordinates, thus marking the debut of 10% Forme. In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', when [[Alva]] used his laser weapon onto the [[Nebel Plateau]], it transformed into its Complete Forme to protect it, thus marking the form's debut. Squishy is known by the code name '''Z1''' by Team Flare.<br />
<br />
=====[[Z2]]=====<br />
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]]. It was captured by Team Flare and corrupted by their [[Mega Evolution]] weapon to help them clean the planet of humans. Unlike Squishy's red core, Z2 has a blue core.<br />
[[File:White Zygarde 50 Percent Forme.png|thumb|250px|{{Shiny}} Zygarde 50% Forme in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]<br />
<br />
=====[[White Zygarde]]=====<br />
In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', [[Gibeon]] was revealed to own a {{Shiny}} Zygarde 10% Forme. It regained access to its 50% Forme in ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', when it reunited with the [[Zygarde Cell|Cells]] it had lost in [[Laqua]]. In the [[HZ088|next episode]], it disassembled and abandoned Gibeon. A year later, [[Amethio]] was given a [[Zygarde Cube]], gathered the remaining Zygarde Cells, assembled a Zygarde 50% Forme, and {{pkmn2|caught}} it prior to ''[[HZ125|Battle for the Six Heroes!]]''. In ''[[HZ134|One Step Closer]]'', it assumed its Complete Forme after reuniting with the Cells left in Laqua. It is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]. It was released in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]'' to heal Laqua back to its original state.<br />
<br />
=====Other=====<br />
A Zygarde appeared in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where it was seen in its 50% Forme. When [[Veofum]] ordered his men to burn {{p|Xerneas}} after his plan to use its power failed, Zygarde appeared and destroyed his kingdom with {{m|Land's Wrath}}.<br />
<br />
====Minor appearances====<br />
Zygarde's Complete Forme's first appearance in the animated series was in ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', where it appeared in a dream.<br />
<br />
A Zygarde appeared in its 50% Forme in the opening sequence of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.<br />

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.<br />
<br />
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 arc, 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]] alongside {{adv|Solgaleo}} and {{DL|Nebby|Pokémon Adventures|Lunala}}.<br />

<br />
===Origin===<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance may be 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 {{t|Ground}} type ("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 {{wp|yokai}}, often described as being snake-like. The "crown" behind it makes it resemble depictions of {{wp|Shesha}}.<br />
<br />
According to model sheet of Zygarde Complete Forme for {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it may also form a stylized letter Z when it lifts its cape over its head to attack. This forme of Zygarde 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 depicting [[List of Pokémon by Coastal Kalos Pokédex number|Coastal Kalos]], red on the right depicting [[List of Pokémon by Mountain Kalos Pokédex number|Mountain Kalos]], and white in the middle depicting [[List of Pokémon by Central Kalos Pokédex number|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.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde's cannon might be based on either a railgun or a laser cannon. As Mega Zygarde is styled after its Complete Forme, it may also resemble a stylized Z and a mech, with its cannon posed where the "head" of the Z is placed. Similarly, many of its hexagonal patterns are also blue and red, representative of Xerneas and Yveltal, justified the X, Y and Z markings on the front of its cannon.<br />
<br />
[[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s may be based on cells or other single-celled organisms, such as {{wp|slime mold}}s and members of ''{{wp|Euglena}}'', as well as {{wp|flatworm}}s (specifically {{wp|planarian}}). The hexagons within them may represent a {{wp|cell nucleus}}. The concept of the different forms of Zygarde being composed of smaller individuals useless by themselves may be based off {{wp|Colony (biology|colonial organisms}}. Zygarde's themes of the ecological balance of life may be thematically inspired by {{wp|zygote}}s, a type of cell that forms first development stage of an animal's life span. Zygarde's [[Form|forme change]] from its snake-like appearance in 50% Forme into its human-like Complete Forme may be inspired by {{wp|nāga}}, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures that may feature human-like qualities.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
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 ''{{wp|zygote}}'', ''garde'' (French for "guard"), and ''garðr'' (Old Norse for enclosure; realm).<br />

'''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]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has three main [[#Form data|forms]]: '''10% Forme''', '''50% Forme''', and '''Complete Forme'''. Zygarde, exclusively in its Complete Forme, can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Zygarde''' using the [[Zygardite]]. All forms of Zygarde are composed of '''[[Zygarde Core]]s''' and '''[[Zygarde Cell]]s'''.<br />
<br />
Zygarde can switch between its 10% and 50% Formes at the [[Reassembly Unit]] or with the [[Zygarde Cube]]. If its [[Ability]] is {{a|Power Construct}} and its [[HP]] drops below half, then Zygarde in either form will change into its Complete Forme. <small>(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data&rarr;Form data]] for these details.)</small><br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}, having no name originally. Zygarde 10% Forme and Zygarde Complete Forme, as well as the Zygarde Cells and Zygarde Cores, were revealed in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine and later introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Mega Zygarde was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
{{ga|Zygarde}} plays a [[Game mascot|central role]] in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, serving as one of the game's key figures. A [[Squishy|Zygarde Core]] plays an important role in the ''[[S19|XY&Z]]'' arc of {{aniseries|XY}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:Zygarde Core SM concept art.png|thumb|left|170px|Zygarde Cores make up the brain of the species]]<br />
Zygarde is a green and black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} composed of smaller units known as [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s, who collectively define its appearance and power by assembling in different percentages. In all of Zygarde's forms, the various Cores and Cells are represented as green and black hexagons that glow when it attacks. It has also been shown to be able to fly in all of its forms.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the guardian of the [[Pokémon world]]'s ecosystem, firmly believing that it has a duty to protect it.<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: ''"It is said this [[Legendary Pokémon]] is a guardian of the ecosystem."''</ref><ref name="50%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20171003202529mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ archived])</ref><ref name="50%ZA">[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde50 Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> and is responsible for monitoring it for abnormalities from caves such as [[Kalos]]'s [[Terminus Cave]] and [[Alola]]'s [[Resolution Cave]]. It is described as a being that seeks to correct excess, find moderation, and restore balance. Zygarde can {{a|Aura Break|reverse}} the effects of {{p|Xerneas}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{p|Yveltal}}'s {{a|Dark Aura}}, thus ensuring the equilibrium of the cycle of life and death are kept in check.<ref>''"[[Kalos]]ian Legends: {{p|Xerneas}}, the Life Pokémon, and {{p|Yveltal}}, the Destruction Pokémon, both hail from the beautiful Kalos [[region]]. While they stand in opposition, the Order Pokémon Zygarde is said to help keep the ecosystem in equilibrium."'' - ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]]'', page 282</ref> Normally, it avoids getting involved in conflicts unless the ecosystem is in grave danger.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon! | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> It is also known to ask for [[human]]s to assist it in protecting the ecosystem when necessary, but can still be wary of those it does not trust. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Z". In the animated series, a Zygarde Core and two Zygarde in their 50% Forme have had the green coloration on their bodies changed to red as a result of the influence of [[Team Flare]]'s [[Mega Evolution]] energy weapon; moreover, all of their formes were depicted as capable of [[Talking Pokémon|human speech]] via telepathy.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]]s {{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}}.<br />
<br />
===Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells===<br />

|}<br />
Physically, a Zygarde Core and a Zygarde Cell are almost identical. Both are small, green, cell-like blobs that resemble a {{wp|planarian}}. Their bodies are gelatinous, semitranslucent, and can be segmented into three sections: a large, round head, an abdomen with a colored hexagon, and a stubby tail. They have two eyes, though one is larger and has a pupil, and can stand on their tail (a trait most associated with the Core). The difference between a Core and a Cell is subtle: Cores have a black pupil and a red hexagon embedded inside their abdomen, while these are both green on Cells.<br />
<br />
On their own, neither Cores nor Cells have the power to battle, needing to assemble in order to take action. The Cells exist in far greater numbers than the Cores, therefore making up the majority of any given form of Zygarde. However, they lack wills of their own and can only act in accordance to the orders of a Core. The Cores act as Zygarde's brain,<ref name=CoresCells>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ Zygarde's Cores and Cells | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160814031551/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ archived])</ref> and Zygarde may have up to five of them. It can also use its Cells for [[move|attacks]], such as raining them down like {{m|Thousand Arrows|arrows}} or scattering them throughout the ground in {{m|Thousand Waves|waves}} before they're recalled into its body. When Zygarde exhausts all of its power, it splits back into individual Cores and Cells and scatters all over the world, reaching even far-off lands. While in this state, they absorb the native power of said lands and may request assistance from [[human]]s in order to reassemble.<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"When Zygarde used up its strength protecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from the light of [[ultimate weapon]]... its parts scattered to far-off places, absorbing the power of those lands and seeking [[human]]s who would give it aid."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> As seen in various media, Zygarde Cells demonstrate some form of will of their own and are capable of moving independently, without a Zygarde Core commanding them.<br />
<br />
===Forms===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme, which are composed of [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s. Zygarde Complete Forme can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde.<br />

====10% Forme====<br />
[[File:Zygarde 10 Percent SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Concept art of Zygarde's 10% Forme]]<br />
Zygarde 10% Forme is a relatively small {{wp|Canis|canine}} Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, though its neck, muzzle, mouth, eyebrows, and left front paw are green. Additionally, it has two green hexagons on its chest and a single one on its rear. From its neck, a green ribbon-like extension comes out, next to an elongated red hexagon, giving the impression of a leash and dog tag, respectively. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils, and there is a thin white line on its forehead. Its mouth is fitted with razor-sharp fangs. On each of its legs are black 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.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme is assumed in cases of emergency, created when it calls and gathers a tenth of its Cells across the land when it needs to fight. Because only a single Core serves as its brain, it cannot maintain this form indefinitely, and it will eventually fall apart. Nonethless, it is skilled at close-range combat, overwhelming and quickly defeating its opponents by leaping at their chests and sinking its fangs into them. It is also capable of running at speeds greater than 60 mph (100 km/h).<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143708/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde10 Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Concept art of Zygarde 10% Forme shows that it can wrap its "leash" around the arm of someone it trusts.<br />
{{left clear}}<br />
<br />
====50% Forme====<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme is a large {{wp|Snake|serpentine}} Pokémon. 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 several small, green hexagons on its body that occasionally glow white.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 50% Forme is assembled from half of its Cells and up to 3 Cores reuniting. Although this form is only half of its full potential, its power is capable of overwhelming anyone who stands in its way.<ref name="50%ZA"/><ref name="50%SunMoon"/> The 50% Forme is known to be both ruthless and merciless to its foes. There are rumors that an even greater power lies hidden within it, as it is capable of {{a|Power Construct|changing}} to a more powerful form when battling those who threaten the ecosystem. Its frill can be shown vibrating as it attacks. As seen in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Zygarde 50% Forme can summon and control massive roots for attacks and covering areas.<br />
<br />
====Complete Forme====<br />
Zygarde Complete Form is a large, humanoid Pokémon. 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 mouth that when opened, reveals five hexagons colored red, orange, white, cyan, and blue, respectively. It has a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's.<br />
<br />
The Complete Forme is Zygarde's perfected form, created when 100% of its Cells and Cores are gathered. In this state, Zygarde can fight at full power and complete its duty of protecting the ecosystem by suppressing those who willingly endanger it. Zygarde Complete Forme contains 5 Cores, one for each of its wings and its tail. Despite all of them being in a single body, each Core can make decisions and act independently of the others.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160715204745/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ archived])</ref> The Zygarde Cores can freely change the shapes of the four wings and tail for a variety of roles. Notably, the tip of its wings can form snake-like heads that can be used to attack with energy beams, propel itself, and restore an unbalanced ecosystem back to normal, as seen in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. The zigzagging mouth on its chest can radiate enough high-powered energy to destroy everything around it, even firing energy beams from within it.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde-complete Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> It has also been shown to form a green, protective barrier to shield itself and its allies. It has also been shown using Core Enforcer as a rush attack, leaving a Z-shaped carving in its opponents while dashing through them before it explodes. The Complete Forme is only used to neutralize huge threats to the ecosystem, such as [[Lysandre]]'s [[Giant Rock]], the [[Laquium|Laquium Core]], the [[ultimate weapon]], [[Ultra Burst|Ultra]] {{Adv|Necrozma}}, and {{DL|Ange|Hyperrogue Ange Floette}}. It is powerful enough to overwhelm even {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />

<br />
====Mega Zygarde====<br />
Overall, Mega Zygarde retains most of Zygarde Complete Forme's humanoid structure, but the Cells composing its body have been strategically relocated. Notably, it has lost most, if not all, of the hexagons composing Zygarde Complete Forme's lower body, arms, and wings, exposing its light green body. As a result of this, Mega Zygarde has completely lost its wings, having seemingly replaced them with six smaller arm-like structures. On its legs, only the three hexagons on each knee remain, though they changed from symmetrical white and green to asymmetrical black and white. The lower part of Zygarde Complete Forme's chest, starting from the multicolored mouth, has also opened, giving the impression it has ripped into strands of black hexagons similar to tree roots. The green, eye-like patterns on its chest now have each a differently colored hexagon on them (one red, one blue). Underneath the chest plate, a series of five white hexagons cover the true body. White, chain-like hexagonal patterns run down Mega Zygarde's uncovered torso, arms, and legs, as well as on its back and under its feet. Its arms don't end in hands, but split into three hexagonal digits. Mega Zygarde's headpiece and tail remain mostly unchanged from its base form, only having lost the green hexagons on its face and having more of those on its tail. Its crown is lit up by a green flame, and its eyes are green as well.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is said to be born as a result of people's emotions during an unprecedented crisis, allowing it to calm the situation with its unmatched power. Its defining feature is the giant cannon held above Mega Zygarde's head by its six smaller arms. The cannon has a cylindrical shape, somewhat resembling a tree trunk, decorated with several shapes and lines similar to Zygarde 10% Forme's leash. The cannon is mostly black, with dark blue and dark red patches circling its length. At the cannon's muzzle, there is a pink symbol resembling a cross between an "X" and a "Y" surrounded by red, blue, and pink lines. Its interior features a circle, three hexagons, and a central circle, while its back has a dark green hexagon at the center. When Mega Zygarde attacks with its cannon, the muzzle pattern shines in the shape of an "X", "Y", and "Z" before opening up, unleashing a {{m|Nihil Light|beam of light that defies nature itself}}, which has been likened to the [[Z-Move]]s found in the [[Alola]] [[region]].<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"And now that I think of it... The moves that Zygarde used when it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]—they reminded me of [[Z-Moves]], like those used in the [[Alola]] region."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> Such an attack was powerful enough to overpower Hyperrogue Ange Floette's powered-up {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which threatened to annihilate all of [[Lumiose City]], as well as to break through the [[Laquium]] Core's defenses and heavily damage it, as seen in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]''. It has been referred to as "Lumiose's Guardian"<ref>[[Research Task (HOME)|Kalos Region Tasks]]</ref> due to it saving Lumiose City from Hyperrogue Ange Floette.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is the only known Pokémon capable of using the move {{m|Nihil Light}}, an upgraded version of {{m|Core Enforcer}}.<br />

===Form data===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s appear in the story in some games, but they are not catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and are not included in the [[Pokédex]]; they make up Zygarde's forms and are not forms themselves.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde's only form is its 50% Forme, which was unnamed at the time. The 10% Forme and Complete Forme were introduced to the games in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. It can switch between its 10% Forme and 50% Forme using the [[Reassembly Unit]] or the [[Zygarde Cube]], and can enter its Complete Forme in {{pkmn|battle}} if it has {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme and 50% Forme can have {{a|Aura Break}} or Power Construct as their [[Ability]]. Internally, Zygarde's Ability difference is itself a separate form. This makes it impossible to change Zygarde's Ability with [[Ability Capsule]]s or [[Ability Patch]]es; the Reassembly Unit or the Zygarde Cube must be used instead.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Aura Break}}<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde can only have {{a|Aura Break}} as an [[Ability]] and has no other forms.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VII]], a Zygarde with Aura Break can be transformed by the [[Reassembly Unit]]. This machine can create a 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break or change a 10% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break to a 50% Forme Zygarde. It can also change either to a 50% Forme Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}<br />
The [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change form" function ("Change Forme" in Generation VII) 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.<br />
<br />
Any Zygarde with Power Construct will change to Complete Forme in battle if its [[HP]] drops below half. When the battle ends, it returns to its original form with the same HP it ended the battle with (within its original form's maximum HP).<br />
<br />
Zygarde has a unique form change animation when changing to its Complete Forme, which shows Zygarde Cells (represented by green hexagons) gathering to change its form.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], due to the lack of Abilities, the distinction between Zygarde with Aura Break and Zygarde with Power Construct does not exist. Instead, any 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde will change into Complete Forme when its HP is reduced to half or less, increasing its maximum HP and gaining current HP equal to the amount of maximum HP gained. If Zygarde's HP is reduced below the threshold while it is using a [[move]], it will transform when the move finishes. Zygarde is invulnerable while changing into Complete Forme. It will change back to its previous form if it is recalled while out of battle, retaining the HP it had at that time; if this is above the maximum HP of its original form, its HP will become equal to its maximum HP.<br />

<br />
Zygarde's [[base stats]] differ between its three forms. Additionally, it can only [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] when it is in its Complete Forme. If it knows the move {{m|Core Enforcer}} when it Mega Evolves, the move will be replaced with {{m|Nihil Light}} until the Mega Evolution ends.<br />

It traveled in Bonnie's bag alongside {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. In ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', Squishy transformed into its 10% and 50% Formes to defend itself against [[Bryony]] and her subordinates, thus marking the debut of 10% Forme. In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', when [[Alva]] used his laser weapon onto the [[Nebel Plateau]], it transformed into its Complete Forme to protect it, thus marking the form's debut.

===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Zygarde (Adventures)}}<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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 arc, 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]] alongside {{adv|Solgaleo}} and {{DL|Nebby|Pokémon Adventures|Lunala}}.<br />

<br />
===Origin===<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance may be 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 {{t|Ground}} type ("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 {{wp|yokai}}, often described as being snake-like. The "crown" behind it makes it resemble depictions of {{wp|Shesha}}.<br />
<br />
According to model sheet of Zygarde Complete Forme for {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it may also form a stylized letter Z when it lifts its cape over its head to attack. This forme of Zygarde 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 depicting [[List of Pokémon by Coastal Kalos Pokédex number|Coastal Kalos]], red on the right depicting [[List of Pokémon by Mountain Kalos Pokédex number|Mountain Kalos]], and white in the middle depicting [[List of Pokémon by Central Kalos Pokédex number|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.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde's cannon might be based on either a railgun or a laser cannon. As Mega Zygarde is styled after its Complete Forme, it may also resemble a stylized Z and a mech, with its cannon posed where the "head" of the Z is placed. Similarly, many of its hexagonal patterns are also blue and red, representative of Xerneas and Yveltal, justified the X, Y and Z markings on the front of its cannon.<br />
<br />
[[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s may be based on cells or other single-celled organisms, such as {{wp|slime mold}}s and members of ''{{wp|Euglena}}'', as well as {{wp|flatworm}}s (specifically {{wp|planarian}}). The hexagons within them may represent a {{wp|cell nucleus}}. The concept of the different forms of Zygarde being composed of smaller individuals useless by themselves may be based off {{wp|Colony (biology|colonial organisms}}. Zygarde's themes of the ecological balance of life may be thematically inspired by {{wp|zygote}}s, a type of cell that forms first development stage of an animal's life span. Zygarde's [[Form|forme change]] from its snake-like appearance in 50% Forme into its human-like Complete Forme may be inspired by {{wp|nāga}}, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures that may feature human-like qualities.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
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 ''{{wp|zygote}}'', ''garde'' (French for "guard"), and ''garðr'' (Old Norse for enclosure; realm).<br />

'''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]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has three main [[#Form data|forms]]: '''10% Forme''', '''50% Forme''', and '''Complete Forme'''. Zygarde, exclusively in its Complete Forme, can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Zygarde''' using the [[Zygardite]]. All forms of Zygarde are composed of '''[[Zygarde Core]]s''' and '''[[Zygarde Cell]]s'''.<br />
<br />
Zygarde can switch between its 10% and 50% Formes at the [[Reassembly Unit]] or with the [[Zygarde Cube]]. If its [[Ability]] is {{a|Power Construct}} and its [[HP]] drops below half, then Zygarde in either form will change into its Complete Forme. <small>(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data&rarr;Form data]] for these details.)</small><br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}, having no name originally. Zygarde 10% Forme and Zygarde Complete Forme, as well as the Zygarde Cells and Zygarde Cores, were revealed in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine and later introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Mega Zygarde was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
{{ga|Zygarde}} plays a [[Game mascot|central role]] in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, serving as one of the game's key figures. A [[Squishy|Zygarde Core]] plays an important role in the ''[[S19|XY&Z]]'' arc of {{aniseries|XY}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:Zygarde Core SM concept art.png|thumb|left|170px|Zygarde Cores make up the brain of the species]]<br />
Zygarde is a green and black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} composed of smaller units known as [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s, who collectively define its appearance and power by assembling in different percentages. In all of Zygarde's forms, the various Cores and Cells are represented as green and black hexagons that glow when it attacks. It has also been shown to be able to fly in all of its forms.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the guardian of the [[Pokémon world]]'s ecosystem, firmly believing that it has a duty to protect it.<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: ''"It is said this [[Legendary Pokémon]] is a guardian of the ecosystem."''</ref><ref name="50%SunMoon">[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20171003202529mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ archived])</ref><ref name="50%ZA">[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde50 Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> and is responsible for monitoring it for abnormalities from caves such as [[Kalos]]'s [[Terminus Cave]] and [[Alola]]'s [[Resolution Cave]]. It is described as a being that seeks to correct excess, find moderation, and restore balance. Zygarde can {{a|Aura Break|reverse}} the effects of {{p|Xerneas}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{p|Yveltal}}'s {{a|Dark Aura}}, thus ensuring the equilibrium of the cycle of life and death are kept in check.<ref>''"[[Kalos]]ian Legends: {{p|Xerneas}}, the Life Pokémon, and {{p|Yveltal}}, the Destruction Pokémon, both hail from the beautiful Kalos [[region]]. While they stand in opposition, the Order Pokémon Zygarde is said to help keep the ecosystem in equilibrium."'' - ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]]'', page 282</ref> Normally, it avoids getting involved in conflicts unless the ecosystem is in grave danger.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon! | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> It is also known to ask for [[human]]s to assist it in protecting the ecosystem when necessary, but can still be wary of those it does not trust. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Z". In the animated series, a Zygarde Core and two Zygarde in their 50% Forme have had the green coloration on their bodies changed to red as a result of the influence of [[Team Flare]]'s [[Mega Evolution]] energy weapon; moreover, all of their formes were depicted as capable of [[Talking Pokémon|human speech]] via telepathy.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]]s {{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}}.<br />
<br />
===Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells===<br />

|}<br />
Physically, a Zygarde Core and a Zygarde Cell are almost identical. Both are small, green, cell-like blobs that resemble a {{wp|planarian}}. Their bodies are gelatinous, semitranslucent, and can be segmented into three sections: a large, round head, an abdomen with a colored hexagon, and a stubby tail. They have two eyes, though one is larger and has a pupil, and can stand on their tail (a trait most associated with the Core). The difference between a Core and a Cell is subtle: Cores have a black pupil and a red hexagon embedded inside their abdomen, while these are both green on Cells.<br />
<br />
On their own, neither Cores nor Cells have the power to battle, needing to assemble in order to take action. The Cells exist in far greater numbers than the Cores, therefore making up the majority of any given form of Zygarde. However, they lack wills of their own and can only act in accordance to the orders of a Core. The Cores act as Zygarde's brain,<ref name=CoresCells>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ Zygarde's Cores and Cells | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160814031551/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ archived])</ref> and Zygarde may have up to five of them. It can also use its Cells for [[move|attacks]], such as raining them down like {{m|Thousand Arrows|arrows}} or scattering them throughout the ground in {{m|Thousand Waves|waves}} before they're recalled into its body. When Zygarde exhausts all of its power, it splits back into individual Cores and Cells and scatters all over the world, reaching even far-off lands. While in this state, they absorb the native power of said lands and may request assistance from [[human]]s in order to reassemble.<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"When Zygarde used up its strength protecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from the light of [[ultimate weapon]]... its parts scattered to far-off places, absorbing the power of those lands and seeking [[human]]s who would give it aid."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> As seen in various media, Zygarde Cells demonstrate some form of will of their own and are capable of moving independently, without a Zygarde Core commanding them.<br />
<br />
===Forms===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme, which are composed of [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s. Zygarde Complete Forme can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde.<br />

====10% Forme====<br />
[[File:Zygarde 10 Percent SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Concept art of Zygarde's 10% Forme]]<br />
Zygarde 10% Forme is a relatively small {{wp|Canis|canine}} Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, though its neck, muzzle, mouth, eyebrows, and left front paw are green. Additionally, it has two green hexagons on its chest and a single one on its rear. From its neck, a green ribbon-like extension comes out, next to an elongated red hexagon, giving the impression of a leash and dog tag, respectively. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils, and there is a thin white line on its forehead. Its mouth is fitted with razor-sharp fangs. On each of its legs are black 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.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme is assumed in cases of emergency, created when it calls and gathers a tenth of its Cells across the land when it needs to fight. Because only a single Core serves as its brain, it cannot maintain this form indefinitely, and it will eventually fall apart. Nonethless, it is skilled at close-range combat, overwhelming and quickly defeating its opponents by leaping at their chests and sinking its fangs into them. It is also capable of running at speeds greater than 60 mph (100 km/h).<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143708/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ archived])</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde10 Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Concept art of Zygarde 10% Forme shows that it can wrap its "leash" around the arm of someone it trusts.<br />
{{left clear}}<br />
<br />
====50% Forme====<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme is a large {{wp|Snake|serpentine}} Pokémon. 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 several small, green hexagons on its body that occasionally glow white.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 50% Forme is assembled from half of its Cells and up to 3 Cores reuniting. Although this form is only half of its full potential, its power is capable of overwhelming anyone who stands in its way.<ref name="50%ZA"><ref name="50%SunMoon"> The 50% Forme is known to be both ruthless and merciless to its foes. There are rumors that an even greater power lies hidden within it, as it is capable of {{a|Power Construct|changing}} to a more powerful form when battling those who threaten the ecosystem. Its frill can be shown vibrating as it attacks. As seen in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Zygarde 50% Forme can summon and control massive roots for attacks and covering areas.<br />
<br />
====Complete Forme====<br />
Zygarde Complete Form is a large, humanoid Pokémon. 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 mouth that when opened, reveals five hexagons colored red, orange, white, cyan, and blue, respectively. It has a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's.<br />
<br />
The Complete Forme is Zygarde's perfected form, created when 100% of its Cells and Cores are gathered. In this state, Zygarde can fight at full power and complete its duty of protecting the ecosystem by suppressing those who willingly endanger it. Zygarde Complete Forme contains 5 Cores, one for each of its wings and its tail. Despite all of them being in a single body, each Core can make decisions and act independently of the others.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160715204745/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ archived])</ref> The Zygarde Cores can freely change the shapes of the four wings and tail for a variety of roles. Notably, the tip of its wings can form snake-like heads that can be used to attack with energy beams, propel itself, and restore an unbalanced ecosystem back to normal, as seen in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. The zigzagging mouth on its chest can radiate enough high-powered energy to destroy everything around it, even firing energy beams from within it.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde-complete Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> It has also been shown to form a green, protective barrier to shield itself and its allies. It has also been shown using Core Enforcer as a rush attack, leaving a Z-shaped carving in its opponents while dashing through them before it explodes. The Complete Forme is only used to neutralize huge threats to the ecosystem, such as [[Lysandre]]'s [[Giant Rock]], the [[Laquium|Laquium Core]], the [[ultimate weapon]], [[Ultra Burst|Ultra]] {{Adv|Necrozma}}, and {{DL|Ange|Hyperrogue Ange Floette}}. It is powerful enough to overwhelm even {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />

<br />
====Mega Zygarde====<br />
Overall, Mega Zygarde retains most of Zygarde Complete Forme's humanoid structure, but the Cells composing its body have been strategically relocated. Notably, it has lost most, if not all, of the hexagons composing Zygarde Complete Forme's lower body, arms, and wings, exposing its light green body. As a result of this, Mega Zygarde has completely lost its wings, having seemingly replaced them with six smaller arm-like structures. On its legs, only the three hexagons on each knee remain, though they changed from symmetrical white and green to asymmetrical black and white. The lower part of Zygarde Complete Forme's chest, starting from the multicolored mouth, has also opened, giving the impression it has ripped into strands of black hexagons similar to tree roots. The green, eye-like patterns on its chest now have each a differently colored hexagon on them (one red, one blue). Underneath the chest plate, a series of five white hexagons cover the true body. White, chain-like hexagonal patterns run down Mega Zygarde's uncovered torso, arms, and legs, as well as on its back and under its feet. Its arms don't end in hands, but split into three hexagonal digits. Mega Zygarde's headpiece and tail remain mostly unchanged from its base form, only having lost the green hexagons on its face and having more of those on its tail. Its crown is lit up by a green flame, and its eyes are green as well.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is said to be born as a result of people's emotions during an unprecedented crisis, allowing it to calm the situation with its unmatched power. Its defining feature is the giant cannon held above Mega Zygarde's head by its six smaller arms. The cannon has a cylindrical shape, somewhat resembling a tree trunk, decorated with several shapes and lines similar to Zygarde 10% Forme's leash. The cannon is mostly black, with dark blue and dark red patches circling its length. At the cannon's muzzle, there is a pink symbol resembling a cross between an "X" and a "Y" surrounded by red, blue, and pink lines. Its interior features a circle, three hexagons, and a central circle, while its back has a dark green hexagon at the center. When Mega Zygarde attacks with its cannon, the muzzle pattern shines in the shape of an "X", "Y", and "Z" before opening up, unleashing a {{m|Nihil Light|beam of light that defies nature itself}}, which has been likened to the [[Z-Move]]s found in the [[Alola]] [[region]].<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"And now that I think of it... The moves that Zygarde used when it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]—they reminded me of [[Z-Moves]], like those used in the [[Alola]] region."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> Such an attack was powerful enough to overpower Hyperrogue Ange Floette's powered-up {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which threatened to annihilate all of [[Lumiose City]], as well as to break through the [[Laquium]] Core's defenses and heavily damage it, as seen in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]''. It has been referred to as "Lumiose's Guardian"<ref>[[Research Task (HOME)|Kalos Region Tasks]]</ref> due to it saving Lumiose City from Hyperrogue Ange Floette.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is the only known Pokémon capable of using the move {{m|Nihil Light}}, an upgraded version of {{m|Core Enforcer}}.<br />

===Form data===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s appear in the story in some games, but they are not catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and are not included in the [[Pokédex]]; they make up Zygarde's forms and are not forms themselves.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde's only form is its 50% Forme, which was unnamed at the time. The 10% Forme and Complete Forme were introduced to the games in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. It can switch between its 10% Forme and 50% Forme using the [[Reassembly Unit]] or the [[Zygarde Cube]], and can enter its Complete Forme in {{pkmn|battle}} if it has {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme and 50% Forme can have {{a|Aura Break}} or Power Construct as their [[Ability]]. Internally, Zygarde's Ability difference is itself a separate form. This makes it impossible to change Zygarde's Ability with [[Ability Capsule]]s or [[Ability Patch]]es; the Reassembly Unit or the Zygarde Cube must be used instead.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Aura Break}}<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde can only have {{a|Aura Break}} as an [[Ability]] and has no other forms.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VII]], a Zygarde with Aura Break can be transformed by the [[Reassembly Unit]]. This machine can create a 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break or change a 10% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break to a 50% Forme Zygarde. It can also change either to a 50% Forme Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}<br />
The [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change form" function ("Change Forme" in Generation VII) 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.<br />
<br />
Any Zygarde with Power Construct will change to Complete Forme in battle if its [[HP]] drops below half. When the battle ends, it returns to its original form with the same HP it ended the battle with (within its original form's maximum HP).<br />
<br />
Zygarde has a unique form change animation when changing to its Complete Forme, which shows Zygarde Cells (represented by green hexagons) gathering to change its form.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], due to the lack of Abilities, the distinction between Zygarde with Aura Break and Zygarde with Power Construct does not exist. Instead, any 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde will change into Complete Forme when its HP is reduced to half or less, increasing its maximum HP and gaining current HP equal to the amount of maximum HP gained. If Zygarde's HP is reduced below the threshold while it is using a [[move]], it will transform when the move finishes. Zygarde is invulnerable while changing into Complete Forme. It will change back to its previous form if it is recalled while out of battle, retaining the HP it had at that time; if this is above the maximum HP of its original form, its HP will become equal to its maximum HP.<br />

<br />
Zygarde's [[base stats]] differ between its three forms. Additionally, it can only [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] when it is in its Complete Forme. If it knows the move {{m|Core Enforcer}} when it Mega Evolves, the move will be replaced with {{m|Nihil Light}} until the Mega Evolution ends.<br />

===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Zygarde (Adventures)}}<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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 arc, 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]] alongside {{adv|Solgaleo}} and {{DL|Nebby|Pokémon Adventures|Lunala}}.<br />

<br />
===Origin===<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance may be 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 {{t|Ground}} type ("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 {{wp|yokai}}, often described as being snake-like. The "crown" behind it makes it resemble depictions of {{wp|Shesha}}.<br />
<br />
According to model sheet of Zygarde Complete Forme for {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it may also form a stylized letter Z when it lifts its cape over its head to attack. This forme of Zygarde 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 depicting [[List of Pokémon by Coastal Kalos Pokédex number|Coastal Kalos]], red on the right depicting [[List of Pokémon by Mountain Kalos Pokédex number|Mountain Kalos]], and white in the middle depicting [[List of Pokémon by Central Kalos Pokédex number|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.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde's cannon might be based on either a railgun or a laser cannon. As Mega Zygarde is styled after its Complete Forme, it may also resemble a stylized Z and a mech, with its cannon posed where the "head" of the Z is placed. Similarly, many of its hexagonal patterns are also blue and red, representative of Xerneas and Yveltal, justified the X, Y and Z markings on the front of its cannon.<br />
<br />
[[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s may be based on cells or other single-celled organisms, such as {{wp|slime mold}}s and members of ''{{wp|Euglena}}'', as well as {{wp|flatworm}}s (specifically {{wp|planarian}}). The hexagons within them may represent a {{wp|cell nucleus}}. The concept of the different forms of Zygarde being composed of smaller individuals useless by themselves may be based off {{wp|Colony (biology|colonial organisms}}. Zygarde's themes of the ecological balance of life may be thematically inspired by {{wp|zygote}}s, a type of cell that forms first development stage of an animal's life span. Zygarde's [[Form|forme change]] from its snake-like appearance in 50% Forme into its human-like Complete Forme may be inspired by {{wp|nāga}}, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures that may feature human-like qualities.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
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 ''{{wp|zygote}}'', ''garde'' (French for "guard"), and ''garðr'' (Old Norse for enclosure; realm).<br />

'''Aura Sphere''' (Japanese: '''はどうだん''' ''Wave Bomb''<!--Do not change. Please discuss alternate translations.-->) is a damage-dealing {{type|Fighting}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. It was [[TR56]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, and is [[TM112]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.<br />
<br />
==Effect==<br />
===Generations IV and V===<br />
Aura Sphere inflicts damage and bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the target is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. It can hit non-adjacent targets in [[Triple Battle]]s.<br />
<br />
===Generation VI onward===<br />
Aura Sphere's [[power]] was lowered from 90 to 80. Additionally, its power is boosted by 50% if the user has {{a|Mega Launcher}}, and Pokémon with {{a|Bulletproof}} are immune to it.<br />
<br />
===Generation VIII===<br />
====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====<br />
Aura Sphere's [[PP]] has been reduced to 10.<br />

* Aura Sphere bears resemblances both in visuals and in its Japanese name (はどうだん ''Hadōdan'') to the {{wp|Hadouken}} attack in the ''{{wp|Street Fighter}}'' video game series.<br />
* Aura Sphere is the only [[pulse move]] that does not have the name "pulse" at the end of its name.<br />
* In [[Pokémon X and Y]], a camera clipping glitch occurs when the {{player}} uses Aura Sphere against some of [[Drasna]]'s Pokémon.<br />

'''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]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has three main [[#Form data|forms]]: '''10% Forme''', '''50% Forme''', and '''Complete Forme'''. Zygarde, exclusively in its Complete Forme, can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Zygarde''' using the [[Zygardite]]. All forms of Zygarde are composed of '''[[Zygarde Core]]s''' and '''[[Zygarde Cell]]s'''.<br />
<br />
Zygarde can switch between its 10% and 50% Formes at the [[Reassembly Unit]] or with the [[Zygarde Cube]]. If its [[Ability]] is {{a|Power Construct}} and its [[HP]] drops below half, then Zygarde in either form will change into its Complete Forme. <small>(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data&rarr;Form data]] for these details.)</small><br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}, having no name originally. Zygarde 10% Forme and Zygarde Complete Forme, as well as the Zygarde Cells and Zygarde Cores, were revealed in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine and later introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Mega Zygarde was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
{{ga|Zygarde}} plays a [[Game mascot|central role]] in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, serving as one of the game's key figures. A [[Squishy|Zygarde Core]] plays an important role in the ''[[S19|XY&Z]]'' arc of {{aniseries|XY}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:Zygarde Core SM concept art.png|thumb|left|170px|Zygarde Cores make up the brain of the species]]<br />
Zygarde is a green and black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} composed of smaller units known as [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s, who collectively define its appearance and power by assembling in different percentages. In all of Zygarde's forms, the various Cores and Cells are represented as green and black hexagons that glow when it attacks. It has also been shown to be able to fly in all of its forms.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the guardian of the [[Pokémon world]]'s ecosystem,<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: ''"It is said this [[Legendary Pokémon]] is a guardian of the ecosystem."''</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde50 Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> and is responsible for monitoring it for abnormalities from caves such as [[Kalos]]'s [[Terminus Cave]] and [[Alola]]'s [[Resolution Cave]]. Zygarde is described as a being that seeks to correct excess, find moderation, and restore balance. It is capable of {{a|Aura Break|reversing}} the effects of {{p|Xerneas}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{p|Yveltal}}'s {{a|Dark Aura}}, thus ensuring the equilibrium of the cycle of life and death are kept in check.<ref>''"[[Kalos]]ian Legends: {{p|Xerneas}}, the Life Pokémon, and {{p|Yveltal}}, the Destruction Pokémon, both hail from the beautiful Kalos [[region]]. While they stand in opposition, the Order Pokémon Zygarde is said to help keep the ecosystem in equilibrium."'' - ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]]'', page 282</ref> Normally, Zygarde avoids getting involved in conflicts unless the ecosystem is in grave danger.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Pokémon Y | Legendary Pokémon!] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> It is also known to ask for [[human]]s to assist it in protecting the ecosystem when necessary, but can still be wary of those it does not trust. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Z". In the animated series, a Zygarde Core and two Zygarde in their 50% Forme have had the green coloration on their bodies changed to red as a result of the influence of [[Team Flare]]'s [[Mega Evolution]] energy weapon; moreover, all of their formes were depicted as capable of [[Talking Pokémon|human speech]] via telepathy.<br />
<br />
Zygarde is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]]s {{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}}.<br />
<br />
===Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells===<br />
{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#FFF; margin: 0 5px; float:right"<br />
| class="roundy" width="50%" style="background:#{{unknown color light}}; padding:5px" | {{color2|000|Zygarde Core}}<br>[[File:718Zygarde-Core.png|100px]]<br />
| class="roundy" width="50%" style="background:#{{unknown color light}}; padding:5px" | {{color2|000|Zygarde Cell}}<br>[[File:718Zygarde-Cell.png|100px]]<br />
|}<br />
Physically, a Zygarde Core and a Zygarde Cell are almost identical. Both are small, green, cell-like blobs that resemble a {{wp|planarian}}. Their bodies are gelatinous, semitranslucent, and can be segmented into three sections: a large, round head, an abdomen with a colored hexagon, and a stubby tail. They have two eyes, though one is larger and has a pupil, and can stand on their tail (a trait most associated with the Core). The difference between a Core and a Cell is subtle: Cores have a black pupil and a red hexagon embedded inside their abdomen, while these are both green on Cells.<br />
<br />
On their own, neither Cores nor Cells have the power to battle, needing to assemble in order to take action. The Cells exist in far greater numbers than the Cores and, therefore, make up the majority of any given form of Zygarde. However, they lack wills of their own and can only act in accordance to the orders of a Core. The Cores act as Zygarde's brain,<ref name=CoresCells>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ Zygarde's Cores and Cells | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160814031551/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ archived])</ref> and Zygarde may have up to five of them. It can also use its Cells for [[move|attacks]], such as raining them down like {{m|Thousand Arrows|arrows}} or scattering them throughout the ground in {{m|Thousand Waves|waves}} before they're recalled into its body. When Zygarde exhausts all of its power, it splits back into individual Cores and Cells and scatters all over the world, reaching even far-off lands. While in this state, they absorb the native power of said lands and may request assistance from [[human]]s in order to reassemble.<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"When Zygarde used up its strength protecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from the light of [[ultimate weapon]]... its parts scattered to far-off places, absorbing the power of those lands and seeking [[human]]s who would give it aid."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> As seen in various media, the Zygarde Cells demonstrated some form of will of their own and are capable of moving independently, without a Zygarde Core commanding them.<br />
<br />
===Forms===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme, which are composed of [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s. Zygarde Complete Forme can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde.<br />

====10% Forme====<br />
[[File:Zygarde 10 Percent SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Concept art of Zygarde's 10% Forme]]<br />
Zygarde 10% Forme is a relatively small {{wp|Canis|canine}} Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, though its neck, muzzle, mouth, eyebrows, and left front paw are green. Additionally, it has two green hexagons on its chest and a single one on its rear. From its neck, a green ribbon-like extension comes out, next to an elongated red hexagon, giving the impression of a leash and dog tag, respectively. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils, and there is a thin white line on its forehead. Its mouth is fitted with razor-sharp fangs. On each of its legs are black 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.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme is assumed in cases of emergency.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143708/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ archived])</ref> It is created when only a tenth of its Cells have gathered, and is the result of its Cores calling Cells across the land when it needs to fight.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde10 Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Zygarde 10% Forme contains only one Core. It is skilled at close-range combat, overwhelming its opponents by leaping at their chests and sinking its sharp fangs into them. It is also capable of running at speeds greater than 60 mph (100 km/h). However, it cannot maintain this form indefinitely, and it will eventually fall apart. Concept art of Zygarde shows that it can wrap its "leash" around the arm of someone it trusts.<br />
{{left clear}}<br />
<br />
====50% Forme====<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme is a large {{wp|Snake|serpentine}} Pokémon. 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 several small, green hexagons on its body that occasionally glow white.<br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme is assembled from half of its Cores and Cells reuniting.<ref>[http://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde50 Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Zygarde 50% Forme can contain up to 3 Cores. Despite only using half of its full potential, its power is capable of overwhelming anyone who stands in its way.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20171003202529mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ archived])</ref> The 50% Forme is known to be both ruthless and merciless. There are rumors that an even greater power lies hidden within it, being capable of {{a|Power Construct|changing}} to a more powerful form when battling those who threaten the ecosystem. Its frill can be shown vibrating as it attacks. As seen in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Zygarde 50% Forme can summon and control massive roots for attacks and covering areas.<br />
<br />
====Complete Forme====<br />
Zygarde Complete Form is a large, humanoid Pokémon. 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 mouth that when opened, reveals five hexagons colored red, orange, white, cyan, and blue, respectively. It has a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's.<br />
<br />
The Complete Forme is Zygarde's perfected form, created when 100% of its Cells and Cores are gathered. In this state, Zygarde can fight at full power and complete its duty of protecting the ecosystem by suppressing those who willingly endanger it. Zygarde Complete Forme contains 5 Cores, one for each of its wings and its tail. Despite all of them being in a single body, each Core can make decisions and act independently of the others.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160715204745/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ archived])</ref> The Zygarde Cores can freely change the shapes of the four wings and tail for a variety of roles. Notably, the tip of its wings can form snake-like heads that can be used to attack with energy beams, propel itself, and restore an unbalanced ecosystem back to normal, as seen in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. The zigzagging mouth on its chest can radiate enough high-powered energy to destroy everything around it, even firing energy beams from within it.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde-complete Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> It has also been shown to form a green, protective barrier to shield itself and its allies. It has also been shown using Core Enforcer as a rush attack, leaving a Z-shaped carving in its opponents while dashing through them before it explodes. The Complete Forme is only used to neutralize huge threats to the ecosystem, such as [[Lysandre]]'s [[Giant Rock]], the [[Laquium|Laquium Core]], the [[ultimate weapon]], [[Ultra Burst|Ultra]] {{Adv|Necrozma}}, and {{DL|Ange|Hyperrogue Ange Floette}}. It is powerful enough to overwhelm even {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />

</gallery><br />
<br />
====Mega Zygarde====<br />
Overall, Mega Zygarde retains most of Zygarde Complete Forme's humanoid structure, but the Cells composing its body have been strategically relocated. Notably, it has lost most, if not all, of the hexagons composing Zygarde Complete Forme's lower body, arms, and wings, exposing its light green body. As a result of this, Mega Zygarde has completely lost its wings, having seemingly replaced them with six smaller arm-like structures. On its legs, only the three hexagons on each knee remain, though they changed from symmetrical white and green to asymmetrical black and white. The lower part of Zygarde Complete Forme's chest, starting from the multicolored mouth, has also opened, giving the impression it has ripped into strands of black hexagons similar to tree roots. The green, eye-like patterns on its chest now have each a differently colored hexagon on them (one red, one blue). Underneath the chest plate, a series of five white hexagons cover the true body. White, chain-like hexagonal patterns run down Mega Zygarde's uncovered torso, arms, and legs, as well as on its back and under its feet. Its arms don't end in hands, but split into three hexagonal digits. Mega Zygarde's headpiece and tail remain mostly unchanged from its base form, only having lost the green hexagons on its face and having more of those on its tail. Its crown is lit up by a green flame, and its eyes are green as well.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is said to be born as a result of people's emotions during an unprecedented crisis, allowing it to calm the situation with its unmatched power. Its defining feature is the giant cannon held above Mega Zygarde's head by its six smaller arms. The cannon has a cylindrical shape, somewhat resembling a tree trunk, decorated with several shapes and lines similar to Zygarde 10% Forme's leash. The cannon is mostly black, with dark blue and dark red patches circling its length. At the cannon's muzzle, there is a pink symbol resembling a cross between an "X" and a "Y" surrounded by red, blue, and pink lines. Its interior features a circle, three hexagons, and a central circle, while its back has a dark green hexagon at the center. When Mega Zygarde attacks with its cannon, the muzzle pattern shines in the shape of an "X", "Y", and "Z" before opening up, unleashing a {{m|Nihil Light|beam of light that defies nature itself}}, which has been likened to the [[Z-Move]]s found in the [[Alola]] [[region]].<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"And now that I think of it... The moves that Zygarde used when it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]—they reminded me of [[Z-Moves]], like those used in the [[Alola]] region."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> Such an attack was powerful enough to overpower Hyperrogue Ange Floette's powered-up {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which threatened to annihilate all of [[Lumiose City]], as well as to break through the [[Laquium]] Core's defenses and heavily damage it, as seen in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]''. It has been referred to as "Lumiose's Guardian"<ref>[[Research Task (HOME)|Kalos Region Tasks]]</ref> due to it saving Lumiose City from Hyperrogue Ange Floette.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde is the only known Pokémon capable of using the move {{m|Nihil Light}}, an upgraded version of {{m|Core Enforcer}}.<br />

<br />
===Form data===<br />
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s appear in the story in some games, but they are not catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and are not included in the [[Pokédex]]; they make up Zygarde's forms and are not forms themselves.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde's only form is its 50% Forme, which was unnamed at the time. The 10% Forme and Complete Forme were introduced to the games in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. It can switch between its 10% Forme and 50% Forme using the [[Reassembly Unit]] or the [[Zygarde Cube]], and can enter its Complete Forme in {{pkmn|battle}} if it has {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde's 10% Forme and 50% Forme can have {{a|Aura Break}} or Power Construct as their [[Ability]]. Internally, Zygarde's Ability difference is itself a separate form. This makes it impossible to change Zygarde's Ability with [[Ability Capsule]]s or [[Ability Patch]]es; the Reassembly Unit or the Zygarde Cube must be used instead.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Aura Break}}<br />
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde can only have {{a|Aura Break}} as an [[Ability]] and has no other forms.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VII]], a Zygarde with Aura Break can be transformed by the [[Reassembly Unit]]. This machine can create a 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break or change a 10% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break to a 50% Forme Zygarde. It can also change either to a 50% Forme Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
;Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}<br />
The [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change form" function ("Change Forme" in Generation VII) 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.<br />
<br />
Any Zygarde with Power Construct will change to Complete Forme in battle if its [[HP]] drops below half. When the battle ends, it returns to its original form with the same HP it ended the battle with (within its original form's maximum HP).<br />
<br />
Zygarde has a unique form change animation when changing to its Complete Forme, which shows Zygarde Cells (represented by green hexagons) gathering to change its form.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], due to the lack of Abilities, the distinction between Zygarde with Aura Break and Zygarde with Power Construct does not exist. Instead, any 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde will change into Complete Forme when its HP is reduced to half or less, increasing its maximum HP and gaining current HP equal to the amount of maximum HP gained. If Zygarde's HP is reduced below the threshold while it is using a [[move]], it will transform when the move finishes. Zygarde is invulnerable while changing into Complete Forme. It will change back to its previous form if it is recalled while out of battle, retaining the HP it had at that time; if this is above the maximum HP of its original form, its HP will become equal to its maximum HP.<br />

Zygarde's [[base stats]] differ between its three forms. Additionally, it can only [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] when it is in its Complete Forme. If it knows the move {{m|Core Enforcer}} when it Mega Evolves, the move will be replaced with {{m|Nihil Light}} until the Mega Evolution ends.<br />

It traveled in Bonnie's bag alongside {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. In ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', Squishy transformed into its 10% and 50% Formes to defend itself against [[Bryony]] and her subordinates, thus marking the debut of 10% Forme. In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', when [[Alva]] used his laser weapon onto the [[Nebel Plateau]], it transformed into its Complete Forme to protect it, thus marking the form's debut.

===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Zygarde (Adventures)}}<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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 arc, 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]] alongside {{adv|Solgaleo}} and {{DL|Nebby|Pokémon Adventures|Lunala}}.<br />

Zygarde's 50% Forme and Complete Forme appear as {{sbw|Spirits}}.<br />
<br />
==Trivia== <br />
* Zygarde is currently the last Pokémon in [[List of Pokémon by name|alphabetical order]].<br />
* Zygarde is the only Pokémon: <br />
** That has two standard {{Abilities}}, but does not have a [[Hidden Ability]].<br />
** Able to change forms that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]].<br />
** Whose [[base stat]] total increases by 70 points when Mega Evolving, rather than by at least 100 points.<br />
* Zygarde Complete Forme and Mega Zygarde are [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|the only Pokémon]] with [[base stat total]]s of 708 and 778, respectively.<br />
* Zygarde, in both its Complete and Mega forms, has the highest base {{stat|HP}} [[stat]] of all {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.<br />
* Mega Zygarde has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all Pokémon.<br />
** The Special Attack increase is the highest base stat increase of all Mega Evolutions, being boosted by 125 points.<br />
* Mega Zygarde is the only Mega-Evolved Pokémon whose moveset changes when it Mega Evolves, with {{m|Nihil Light}} replacing {{m|Core Enforcer}}.<br />
* Despite Zygarde's 10% Forme and Complete Forme not being present in the [[Generation VI]] games, they have [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] for these games in [[Pokémon Bank]] and [[Pokémon HOME]]. These entries are identical to those of the 50% Forme.<br />
* Mega Zygarde is the only Mega-Evolved Pokémon introduced in the base game of {{g|Legends: Z-A}} to not be present in {{g|Champions}} as of [[Regulation Set M-B]].<br />
* The [[Zygarde Core]] and Zygarde Complete Forme were first shown in a preview for ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'' at the end of ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance may be 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 {{t|Ground}} type ("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 {{wp|yokai}}, often described as being snake-like. The "crown" behind it makes it resemble depictions of {{wp|Shesha}}.<br />
<br />
According to model sheet of Zygarde Complete Forme for {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it may also form a stylized letter Z when it lifts its cape over its head to attack. This forme of Zygarde 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 depicting [[List of Pokémon by Coastal Kalos Pokédex number|Coastal Kalos]], red on the right depicting [[List of Pokémon by Mountain Kalos Pokédex number|Mountain Kalos]], and white in the middle depicting [[List of Pokémon by Central Kalos Pokédex number|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.<br />
<br />
Mega Zygarde's cannon might be based on either a railgun or a laser cannon. As Mega Zygarde is styled after its Complete Forme, it may also resemble a stylized Z and a mech, with its cannon posed where the "head" of the Z is placed. Similarly, many of its hexagonal patterns are also blue and red, representative of Xerneas and Yveltal, justified the X, Y and Z markings on the front of its cannon.<br />
<br />
[[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s may be based on cells or other single-celled organisms, such as {{wp|slime mold}}s and members of ''{{wp|Euglena}}'', as well as {{wp|flatworm}}s (specifically {{wp|planarian}}). The hexagons within them may represent a {{wp|cell nucleus}}. The concept of the different forms of Zygarde being composed of smaller individuals useless by themselves may be based off {{wp|Colony (biology|colonial organisms}}. Zygarde's themes of the ecological balance of life may be thematically inspired by {{wp|zygote}}s, a type of cell that forms first development stage of an animal's life span. Zygarde's [[Form|forme change]] from its snake-like appearance in 50% Forme into its human-like Complete Forme may be inspired by {{wp|nāga}}, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures that may feature human-like qualities.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
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 ''{{wp|zygote}}'', ''garde'' (French for "guard"), and ''garðr'' (Old Norse for enclosure; realm).<br />

'''Clodsire''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドオー''' ''Dooh'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Wooper}} starting at [[level]] 20. Its [[Johto]]nian counterpart is {{p|Quagsire}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:980Clodsire Dream 2.png|thumb|200px|left|Clodsire's spines]]<br />
Clodsire is a quadrupedal, {{wp|amphibian|amphibious}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, with a rounded body that is dark brown on the top and light brown on the bottom, forming a wave pattern in the middle. It has black beady eyes, a large mouth, and a pair of tiny nostrils. Its four legs are rounded and have three digits each. A short dorsal fin delineates its lower back and ends at its stout, bulbous tail. Clodsire shares many similarities with its non-[[Paldea]]n relative, {{p|Quagsire}}.<br />
<br />
On top of Clodsire's back are six light purple circular spots. If Clodsire is attacked, it will retaliate by sticking out large, thick, light purple spines from these spots—a dangerous and risky move. Clodsire lives in the depths of ponds and swamps, and helps {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Wooper}} cross waters by carrying them on its back. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Clodsire can rarely be found sleeping in the mud; it is theorized that this is because Clodsire became sleepy after carrying Paldean Wooper through the water.<br />

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*Clodsire is the only [[regional form]]-exclusive [[Evolution]] to be introduced in [[Generation IX]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Clodsire, its {{t|Poison}} [[type]], and its ability to extend spines out of its body all appear to be based on the {{wp|Iberian ribbed newt}}, which is known for being able to puncture its sharp ribs through its skin and coat them in poison as a defense mechanism. Clodsire also somewhat resembles a {{wp|giant salamander}} and a {{wp|smooth-head blobfish}} combined.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Clodsire may be a combination of ''clod'' (lump of earth), ''sire'' or ''{{wp|Siren (genus)|Siren}}'' (a genus of salamander), and ''{{p|Quagsire}}''. <br />
<br />
Dooh may be a combination of 土 ''do'' (earth or ground), 毒 ''doku'' (poison), 王 ''ō'' (king), オオサンショウウオ ''ōsanshōuo'' ({{wp|Japanese giant salamander}}), and ヌオー ''Nuoh'' (Quagsire).<br />

'''Xerneas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼルネアス''' ''Xerneas'') is a {{type|Fairy}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Xerneas has two [[#Form data|forms]], which change depending on its status. When Xerneas is in a {{pkmn|battle}} or a [[Pokémon Contest]], it is in '''Active Mode''' and its horns are multicolor; otherwise, it is in '''Neutral Mode''' and its horns are cyan.<br />
<br />
Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Yveltal}}, Xerneas was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon X}}, appearing on its boxart. Xerneas, {{p|Yveltal}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:716 Tree VI OD.png|thumb|185px|left|Xerneas's dormant form, the Tree of Life]]<br />
Xerneas is a quadrupedal, stag-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with four pairs of antlers. Its coloration varies slightly depending on whether it is in Active Mode or Neutral Mode. Regardless of mode, its main body is always black with a blue stripe down its back and a short, bushy tail. Starting at its knees there is a blade-like trim around each leg, which forms a point under each hoof. There is an upside-down, V-shaped marking on its chest in the same color as the trim on its legs. Its head and neck are blue, and there are two large, tufts that extend onto its chest and curve upward. Its first pair of antlers extends onto its head and curves around the underside of its eyes. The eyes are black with X-shaped pupils. There is a short marking on top of its snout and an upward curving horn on each side of its head in place of ears.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is said to represent life and rebirth. It has the power to share eternal life using its horns, which shine in seven colors. Xerneas can use its life energy to create vast forests and restore life to them. It can infuse both humans and Pokémon with energy and vitality. Notably, it can alter the rare [[Alpha Pokémon]] to enter a more powerful "Anomalous Alphas" state thanks to its life energy. According to [[Mable]], Xerneas can command an unlimited amount of life energy.<ref>[[Mable]]: "I mean, it has command of basically an unlimited pool of life energy!"'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> Because of this, she assumes that Xerneas could induce [[Rogue Mega Evolution]] in the presence of [[Mega Power]]. Xerneas is known to be drawn towards life energy being unleashed or affecting the ecosystem, such as the Mega Power emitted by [[Ange]]. It is highly respected by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] for its role in giving life. According to legend, Xerneas is known to have rescued wounded Pokémon during an ancient war. Both Xerneas and {{P|Yveltal}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Xerneas's power can also be used to power up machines such as the [[ultimate weapon]]. Its [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] can convert [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the ultimate weapon.<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Geomancy|absorb the energy around itself}} to strengthen itself through rainbow-colored lights.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ | Legendary Pokémon | X and Y (Archived)]</ref> According to research done by Mable, Xerneas's ability to affect life is mysterious to the point that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref><br />
<br />
The relationship between Xerneas and Yveltal can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As seen in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'', if it exhausts too much life energy, it transforms into a tree and sleeps for 1,000 years. It was also shown capable of calming Yveltal should it get enraged. Xerneas has the power to revive those who have been petrified by Yveltal. However, as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. As shown in In the Pokémon Adventures manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, Xerneas can [[Talking Pokémon|speak human language]] through telepathy. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Xerneas was shown making plants grow by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "The one who gives" due to its ability to give life. In Pokémon Adventures and in ''Pokémon the Series'', it has been referred to as "X".<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Geomancy}}. Prior to [[Generation IX]], it was also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an [[Ability]].<br />
<br />
===Forms===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Active Mode and Neutral Mode.<br />
<br />
====Active Mode====<br />
In Active Mode, its markings, antlers, and trim on its legs are pale gold. Its antlers have branches and bumps in many colors and there are multicolored spots on its back. Xerneas assumes this Mode during battle or when using its power. Xerneas is at full power when in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
====Neutral Mode====<br />
In Neutral Mode, its markings and antlers are instead pale blue and the embellishments on its antlers and spots on its back are a darker blue. Xerneas assumes Neutral Mode when not battling and traveling. This remains until it needs to use Active Mode.<br />

<br />
===Form data===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Neutral Mode and Active Mode. There is no gameplay difference between them; Xerneas appears in Active Mode in {{pkmn|battle}}s and [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]] (as well as its [[summary]] screen in the mobile version of [[Pokémon HOME]]) and appears in Neutral Mode in other situations, such as in cutscenes, the [[party]] and summary screens, the [[Pokémon Storage System]], [[Pokémon-Amie]], [[Pokémon Refresh]], [[Pokémon Camp]], and as a [[walking Pokémon]]. According to the [[Pokédex]], Xerneas shares everlasting life while it is in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and {{g|GO}}, Xerneas does not have distinct forms programmed in. Instead, it assumes the appearance of its Active Form in battle[[Pokémon GO|<sup>'''{{color|{{GO color}}|GO}}'''</sup>]]/during its attacking animations{{sup/9|ZA}} in a similar manner to other [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Form-like_transformations|form-like transformations]] and appears to be in Neutral Mode otherwise.<br />
<br />
Xerneas's horns and some highlights in its fur are light blue in Neutral Mode and light gold in Active Mode. In Active Mode, it grows protrusions on its horns and the spots on its back light up in several different colors.<br />

===Main series===<br />
====Major appearances====<br />
=====[[Xerneas (M17)]]=====<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It granted {{an|Diancie}} its {{a|Fairy Aura}}, which Diancie spent the entire {{pkmn|movie}} looking for. Later, it calmed down the awakened {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restored everything that Yveltal petrified. As a result, Xerneas transformed into a tree.<br />
<br />
=====Other=====<br />
Xerneas made its animated series debut as a silhouette in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]''. However, its antlers could clearly be seen. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY042|Battling into the Hall of Fame!]]''.<br />
<br />
A Xerneas appeared in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} asked for its help after {{p|Yveltal}} caused trouble upon his kingdom, including turning [[Aila]] to stone. Though it restored much of the damage Yveltal inflicted, it could not revive Aila, and thus left.<br />
<br />
====Minor appearances====<br />
A silhouetted Xerneas appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN053|Healing the Healer!]]''.<br />
<br />
===GOTCHA!===<br />
[[File:Calem Xerneas Evolutions.png|thumb|left|250px|Xerneas in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]<br />
A Xerneas briefly appeared as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Evolutions===<br />
A Xerneas appeared in ''[[PE03|The Visionary]]'', under the ownership of {{ga|Calem}}. He used it during a battle against [[Lysandre]], quickly defeating his {{me|Gyarados}}.<br />

===Movie adaptations===<br />
{{main|Xerneas (M17)}}<br />
Xerneas appears in the {{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction|manga adaptation}} of the first {{aniseries|XY}} {{pkmn|movie}}, ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.<br />
<br />
===Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!===<br />
[[Manabu Kadoo|Manabu]] used a Xerneas in Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!.<br />
<br />
===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===<br />
A Xerneas appeared in [[LDK1]].<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Xerxer}}<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', alongside Yveltal. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant tree and cocoon states, which were sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. Later Xerneas awakened and took back most of the energy that had been absorbed from it. Afterwards, it was befriended and caught by {{adv|Y}}, who [[nickname]]d it Xerxer. When [[Malva]] arrived and revealed that she had captured Yveltal, the two nearly clashed again before [[Xerosic]] stopped them, stating that [[Lysandre]] ordered a ceasefire, as the powers of the two would cause an endless war. Xerxer agreed with this and escaped carrying Y and her friends. During the final battle against Team Flare, Xerxer and Yveltal clashed again, and eventually chose to return to their dormant states in order to prevent Lysandre from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.<br />

<br />
==Other appearances==<br />
[[File:Xerneas SSB4 3DS.png|220px|thumb|Xerneas in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]]]<br />
[[File:Xerneas 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|left|150px|Xerneas trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]<br />
[[File:Xerneas SSB4.png|220px|thumb|Xerneas in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]]]<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===<br />
Xerneas appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} Pokémon. In the 3DS version, it is unlocked after playing {{sbw|Target Blast}} at least once, while in the Wii U version, it is unlocked by breaking at least 200 blocks in a solo game of {{sbw|Trophy Rush}} as {{SSB|Pikachu}}. When released, it uses {{m|Geomancy}} to energize nearby fighters, giving their attacks stronger knockback for a time or giving them stronger defenses. Xerneas also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.<br />
<br />
====Trophy information====<br />
'''NA''':''The horns on Xerneas's head give this {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} the power to bestow eternal life. It emanates energy with a move called Geomancy that causes all the fighters to glow. As pretty as it is, this makes everyone more easily launchable. Know when to take advantage and when to lay low.''<br />
<br />
'''PAL''': ''The horns on Xerneas's head give this Pokémon the power to bestow eternal life. When summoned in a match, energy will emanate from it and make all fighters glow. Pretty it may be, but this Geomancy move makes everyone much easier to launch. Knowing that, will you take advantage of the situation, or try to stay out of the way? ''<br />
<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===<br />
Xerneas returns as a Poké Ball summon, but it seems to only affect the summoner, who is turned {{sbw|Gold Fighter|golden}}. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Xerneas has the same stat distribution as {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />
* Xerneas has several unique distinctions:<br />
** It is the only single-type [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]] (not counting [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}}).<br />
** It is the only [[game mascot]] whose [[signature move]] is a [[status move]].<br />
** As of {{g|Champions}}, it is the only Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] to have a former [[signature Ability]], since {{me|Floette}} can now have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an Ability.<br />
** In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, if it is in [[Pokémon Camp]], it will not play with the [[Poké Toy]] when the player shakes it, instead reacting negatively to it. It is the only Pokémon with this trait.<br />
* Xerneas is tied with {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Weezing}} for being the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} (excluding {{p|Arceus}}'s Fairy-type [[form]]).<br />
* When a {{Shiny}} Xerneas is obtained by event, its model on the [[Mystery Gift]] screen is incomplete. It appears in its Active Mode, except the multicolored additions to its horns are either missing or the same blue color as on its neck.<br />
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Xerneas's Neutral Mode has no special animations that play in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation VI|Hoenn Pokédex]]; however, it plays Active Mode's attack animations if tapped in the [[summary]] screen.<br />
* In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Xerneas will not react if whistled at as a [[walking Pokémon]] in the [[Isle of Armor]] or the [[Crown Tundra]]. It shares this distinction with the fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}.<br />
* Xerneas and Yveltal are the only game mascots who are unobtainable through [[transfer]]ring in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.<br />
<br />
===Concept and development===<br />
Xerneas and Yveltal were designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Their initial designs were started by Sugimori, but he encountered {{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}, having a hard time coming up with concepts for the two Legendary Pokémon. For the first time, he gave the work over to another designer, Ohmura, who furthered the designs before giving them back to Sugimori to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Its silhouette was modeled after the letter {{wp|X}}.<ref>Iwata Asks - Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 English], [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/ekjj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref><br />

<br />
===Merchandise===<br />
Xerneas was featured as a rock-paper-scissors [[Poké Ball]] launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Xerneas is shaped like the letter X. By extension, it may also resemble the {{wp|saltire}} symbol in heraldry or the {{wp|X mark}}. Xerneas resembles a cervid, more specifically the extinct species {{wp|Eucladoceros}}.<br />
<br />
Xerneas may also be based on {{wp|Eikþyrnir}} and the four stags {{wp|Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór}} of {{wp|Norse mythology}}. Eikþyrnir resides in {{wp|Valhalla}} eating the foliage of {{wp|Læraðr}} with glowing horns that drip with dew. According to the ''{{wp|Poetic Edda}}'', the four stags resided in the trunk of the World Tree, {{wp|Yggdrasil}}, and ate its branches and fresh shoots. Alternatively, Xerneas may be based on {{wp|Cernunnos}} of {{wp|Celtic mythology}}, a life-giving deity known as the "horned god" and associated with antlers.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Xerneas begins with the letter X. It may be derived from ''cervus'' (Latin for "deer"), ''{{wp|Cernunnos}}'' (a horned Celtic god), ''{{wp|Ceryneian Hind}}'', and アース ''āsu'' (earth).<br />

'''Xerneas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼルネアス''' ''Xerneas'') is a {{type|Fairy}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Xerneas has two [[#Form data|forms]], which change depending on its status. When Xerneas is in a {{pkmn|battle}} or a [[Pokémon Contest]], it is in '''Active Mode''' and its horns are multicolor; otherwise, it is in '''Neutral Mode''' and its horns are cyan.<br />
<br />
Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Yveltal}}, Xerneas was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon X}}, appearing on its boxart. Xerneas, {{p|Yveltal}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:716 Tree VI OD.png|thumb|185px|left|Xerneas's dormant form, the Tree of Life]]<br />
Xerneas is a quadrupedal, stag-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with four pairs of antlers. Its coloration varies slightly depending on whether it is in Active Mode or Neutral Mode. Regardless of mode, its main body is always black with a blue stripe down its back and a short, bushy tail. Starting at its knees there is a blade-like trim around each leg, which forms a point under each hoof. There is an upside-down, V-shaped marking on its chest in the same color as the trim on its legs. Its head and neck are blue, and there are two large, tufts that extend onto its chest and curve upward. Its first pair of antlers extends onto its head and curves around the underside of its eyes. The eyes are black with X-shaped pupils. There is a short marking on top of its snout and an upward curving horn on each side of its head in place of ears.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is said to represent life and rebirth. It has the power to share eternal life using its horns, which shine in seven colors. Xerneas can use its life energy to create vast forests and restore life to them. It can infuse both humans and Pokémon with energy and vitality. Notably, it can alter the rare [[Alpha Pokémon]] to enter a more powerful "Anomalous Alphas" state thanks to its life energy. According to [[Mable]], Xerneas can command an unlimited amount of life energy.<ref>[[Mable]]: "I mean, it has command of basically an unlimited pool of life energy!"'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> Because of this, she assumes that Xerneas could induce [[Rogue Mega Evolution]] in the presence of [[Mega Power]]. Xerneas is known to be drawn towards life energy being unleashed or affecting the ecosystem, such as the Mega Power emitted by [[Ange]]. It is highly respected by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] for its role in giving life. According to legend, Xerneas is known to have rescued wounded Pokémon during an ancient war. Both Xerneas and {{P|Yveltal}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Xerneas's power can also be used to power up machines such as the [[ultimate weapon]]. Its [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] can convert [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the ultimate weapon.<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Geomancy|absorb the energy around itself}} to strengthen itself through rainbow-colored lights.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ | Legendary Pokémon | X and Y (Archived)]</ref> According to research done by Mable, Xerneas's ability to affect life is mysterious to the point that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref><br />
<br />
The relationship between Xerneas and Yveltal can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As seen in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'', if it exhausts too much life energy, it transforms into a tree and sleeps for 1,000 years. It was also shown capable of calming Yveltal should it get enraged. Xerneas has the power to revive those who have been petrified by Yveltal. However, as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. As shown in In the Pokémon Adventures manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, Xerneas can [[Talking Pokémon|speak human language]] through telepathy. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Xerneas was shown making plants grow by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "The one who gives" due to its ability to give life. In Pokémon Adventures and in ''Pokémon the Series'', it has been referred to as "X".<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Geomancy}}. Prior to [[Generation IX]], it was also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an [[Ability]].<br />
<br />
===Forms===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Active Mode and Neutral Mode.<br />
<br />
====Active Mode====<br />
In Active Mode, its markings, antlers, and trim on its legs are pale gold. Its antlers have branches and bumps in many colors and there are multicolored spots on its back. Xerneas assumes this Mode during battle or when using its power. Xerneas is at full power when in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
====Neutral Mode====<br />
In Neutral Mode, its markings and antlers are instead pale blue and the embellishments on its antlers and spots on its back are a darker blue. Xerneas assumes Neutral Mode when not battling and traveling. This remains until it needs to use Active Mode.<br />

===NPC appearances===<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
* [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]: Xerneas is the embodiment of the [[Tree of Life]], first appearing after [[Dark Matter]] has been stopped near the end of the main game. After the epilogue story has been completed, the {{player}} can visit Xerneas at the Tree of Life to [[Evolution|evolve]] a Pokémon of their choosing.<br />
* [[New Pokémon Snap]]: Xerneas is one of the [[Illumina phenomenon|Illumina Pokémon]], a group of Pokémon saved the [[Lental]] [[region]] from the [[Tellur Meteorite]] 2000 years ago. It is also believed to be the originator of the Illumina phenomenon and the very first Illumina Pokémon. It resides in the {{DL|Ruins of Remembrance|Aurus Island Illumina Spot}}.<br />

<br />
===Form data===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Neutral Mode and Active Mode. There is no gameplay difference between them; Xerneas appears in Active Mode in {{pkmn|battle}}s and [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]] (as well as its [[summary]] screen in the mobile version of [[Pokémon HOME]]) and appears in Neutral Mode in other situations, such as in cutscenes, the [[party]] and summary screens, the [[Pokémon Storage System]], [[Pokémon-Amie]], [[Pokémon Refresh]], [[Pokémon Camp]], and as a [[walking Pokémon]]. According to the [[Pokédex]], Xerneas shares everlasting life while it is in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and {{g|GO}}, Xerneas does not have distinct forms programmed in. Instead, it assumes the appearance of its Active Form in battle[[Pokémon GO|<sup>'''{{color|{{GO color}}|GO}}'''</sup>]]/during its attacking animations{{sup/9|ZA}} in a similar manner to other [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Form-like_transformations|form-like transformations]] and appears to be in Neutral Mode otherwise.<br />
<br />
Xerneas's horns and some highlights in its fur are light blue in Neutral Mode and light gold in Active Mode. In Active Mode, it grows protrusions on its horns and the spots on its back light up in several different colors.<br />

===Main series===<br />
====Major appearances====<br />
=====[[Xerneas (M17)]]=====<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It granted {{an|Diancie}} its {{a|Fairy Aura}}, which Diancie spent the entire {{pkmn|movie}} looking for. Later, it calmed down the awakened {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restored everything that Yveltal petrified. As a result, Xerneas transformed into a tree.<br />
<br />
=====Other=====<br />
Xerneas made its animated series debut as a silhouette in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]''. However, its antlers could clearly be seen. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY042|Battling into the Hall of Fame!]]''.<br />
<br />
A Xerneas appeared in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} asked for its help after {{p|Yveltal}} caused trouble upon his kingdom, including turning [[Aila]] to stone. Though it restored much of the damage Yveltal inflicted, it could not revive Aila, and thus left.<br />
<br />
====Minor appearances====<br />
A silhouetted Xerneas appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN053|Healing the Healer!]]''.<br />
<br />
===GOTCHA!===<br />
[[File:Calem Xerneas Evolutions.png|thumb|left|250px|Xerneas in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]<br />
A Xerneas briefly appeared as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Evolutions===<br />
A Xerneas appeared in ''[[PE03|The Visionary]]'', under the ownership of {{ga|Calem}}. He used it during a battle against [[Lysandre]], quickly defeating his {{me|Gyarados}}.<br />

===Movie adaptations===<br />
{{main|Xerneas (M17)}}<br />
Xerneas appears in the {{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction|manga adaptation}} of the first {{aniseries|XY}} {{pkmn|movie}}, ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.<br />
<br />
===Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!===<br />
[[Manabu Kadoo|Manabu]] used a Xerneas in Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!.<br />
<br />
===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===<br />
A Xerneas appeared in [[LDK1]].<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Xerxer}}<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', alongside Yveltal. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant tree and cocoon states, which were sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. Later Xerneas awakened and took back most of the energy that had been absorbed from it. Afterwards, it was befriended and caught by {{adv|Y}}, who [[nickname]]d it Xerxer. When [[Malva]] arrived and revealed that she had captured Yveltal, the two nearly clashed again before [[Xerosic]] stopped them, stating that [[Lysandre]] ordered a ceasefire, as the powers of the two would cause an endless war. Xerxer agreed with this and escaped carrying Y and her friends. During the final battle against Team Flare, Xerxer and Yveltal clashed again, and eventually chose to return to their dormant states in order to prevent Lysandre from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.<br />

==Other appearances==<br />
[[File:Xerneas SSB4 3DS.png|220px|thumb|Xerneas in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]]]<br />
[[File:Xerneas 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|left|150px|Xerneas trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]<br />
[[File:Xerneas SSB4.png|220px|thumb|Xerneas in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]]]<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===<br />
Xerneas appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} Pokémon. In the 3DS version, it is unlocked after playing {{sbw|Target Blast}} at least once, while in the Wii U version, it is unlocked by breaking at least 200 blocks in a solo game of {{sbw|Trophy Rush}} as {{SSB|Pikachu}}. When released, it uses {{m|Geomancy}} to energize nearby fighters, giving their attacks stronger knockback for a time or giving them stronger defenses. Xerneas also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.<br />
<br />
====Trophy information====<br />
'''NA''':''The horns on Xerneas's head give this {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} the power to bestow eternal life. It emanates energy with a move called Geomancy that causes all the fighters to glow. As pretty as it is, this makes everyone more easily launchable. Know when to take advantage and when to lay low.''<br />
<br />
'''PAL''': ''The horns on Xerneas's head give this Pokémon the power to bestow eternal life. When summoned in a match, energy will emanate from it and make all fighters glow. Pretty it may be, but this Geomancy move makes everyone much easier to launch. Knowing that, will you take advantage of the situation, or try to stay out of the way? ''<br />
<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===<br />
Xerneas returns as a Poké Ball summon, but it seems to only affect the summoner, who is turned {{sbw|Gold Fighter|golden}}. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Xerneas has the same stat distribution as {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />
* Xerneas has several unique distinctions:<br />
** It is the only single-type [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]] (not counting [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}}).<br />
** It is the only [[game mascot]] whose [[signature move]] is a [[status move]].<br />
** As of {{g|Champions}}, it is the only Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] to have a former [[signature Ability]], since {{me|Floette}} can now have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an Ability.<br />
** In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, if it is in [[Pokémon Camp]], it will not play with the [[Poké Toy]] when the player shakes it, instead reacting negatively to it. It is the only Pokémon with this trait.<br />
* Xerneas is tied with {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Weezing}} for being the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} (excluding {{p|Arceus}}'s Fairy-type [[form]]).<br />
* When a {{Shiny}} Xerneas is obtained by event, its model on the [[Mystery Gift]] screen is incomplete. It appears in its Active Mode, except the multicolored additions to its horns are either missing or the same blue color as on its neck.<br />
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Xerneas's Neutral Mode has no special animations that play in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation VI|Hoenn Pokédex]]; however, it plays Active Mode's attack animations if tapped in the [[summary]] screen.<br />
* In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Xerneas will not react if whistled at as a [[walking Pokémon]] in the [[Isle of Armor]] or the [[Crown Tundra]]. It shares this distinction with the fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}.<br />
* Xerneas and Yveltal are the only game mascots who are unobtainable through [[transfer]]ring in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.<br />
<br />
===Concept and development===<br />
Xerneas and Yveltal were designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Their initial designs were started by Sugimori, but he encountered {{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}, having a hard time coming up with concepts for the two [[Legendary Pokémon]]. For the first time, he gave the work over to another designer, Ohmura, who furthered the designs before giving them back to Sugimori to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Its silhouette was modeled after the letter {{wp|X}}.<ref>Iwata Asks - Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 English], [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/ekjj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref><br />

<br />
===Merchandise===<br />
Xerneas was featured as a rock-paper-scissors [[Poké Ball]] launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Xerneas is shaped like the letter X. By extension, it may also resemble the {{wp|saltire}} symbol in heraldry or the {{wp|X mark}}. Xerneas resembles a cervid, more specifically the extinct species {{wp|Eucladoceros}}.<br />
<br />
Xerneas may also be based on {{wp|Eikþyrnir}} and the four stags {{wp|Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór}} of {{wp|Norse mythology}}. Eikþyrnir resides in {{wp|Valhalla}} eating the foliage of {{wp|Læraðr}} with glowing horns that drip with dew. According to the ''{{wp|Poetic Edda}}'', the four stags resided in the trunk of the World Tree, {{wp|Yggdrasil}}, and ate its branches and fresh shoots. Alternatively, Xerneas may be based on {{wp|Cernunnos}} of {{wp|Celtic mythology}}, a life-giving deity known as the "horned god" and associated with antlers.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Xerneas begins with the letter X. It may be derived from ''cervus'' (Latin for "deer"), ''{{wp|Cernunnos}}'' (a horned Celtic god), ''{{wp|Ceryneian Hind}}'', and アース ''āsu'' (earth).<br />

'''Yveltal''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イベルタル''' ''Yveltal'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].<br />
<br />
It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Xerneas}}, Yveltal was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.<br />
<br />
Yveltal is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon Y}}, appearing on its boxart. Yveltal, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:717 Cocoon VI OD.png|thumb|left|185px|Yveltal's dormant form, the Cocoon of Destruction]]<br />
Yveltal is a large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with both avian and draconic traits. The back of its body is black with white spots along the wings and back; its front, head, and neck are bright red with branching, black lines throughout. It has a pointed, beak-like snout, bright blue eyes, a black, forward-curving horn over each eye, and a thin, antenna-like growth behind each eye. A feathery gray ruff encircles its neck and billows out over its back. Yveltal's wings each have three spikes along the bottom edge near the body and five large, black claws on the tip. It has small, birdlike legs with gray talons. Each foot has two toes facing forward and one pointing backward. Its tail is similar in structure to its wings, including the five claws on the tip.<br />
[[File:Yveltal ZA.png|250px|thumb|right|Yveltal walking on the ground.]]<br />
Yveltal is said to represent destruction and death. It has the power to absorb life energy by spreading its wings and tailfeathers; according to legend, it does this in order to power up its own energy. It is highly feared by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] because of this. Yveltal is known to appear during a conflict, draining the life energy of any person or Pokémon that it encounters. Upon reaching the end of its lifespan, Yveltal steals the life energy of everything around it, then encases itself in a cocoon and falls into a deep slumber. Both Yveltal and {{p|Xerneas}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Yveltal's power can be used to power up machines, as seen with the [[ultimate weapon]]. Yveltal's [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] has the power to transform [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the [[ultimate weapon]].<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Oblivion Wing|release a red beam that absorbs its target's energy}}, restoring its vitality as a result. Said attack can also burn the ground it hits in the process.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Pokémon Y | Legendary Pokémon!] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> Yveltal can crawl on the ground using its wings and talons, similar to a bat. It can also use its wings to propel itself back into the air. It will harm anyone who tries to take it, even while it's in its dormant, cocoon-like state. Yveltal is drawn to the life energy that's released or disturbed within the ecosystem, such as the [[Mega Power]] emitted by the [[Ange]] machine. According to research done by [[Mable]] of [[Team Flare]], Yveltal's ability to manipulate life is considered so mysterious that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref><br />
<br />
The relationship between Yveltal and Xerneas can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As shown in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', any living creatures drained by Yveltal will turn into petrified stone, though it is unknown whether this action is intentionally malicious or not. As depicted in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction,'' Yveltal can be very vengeful to anyone who disturbs its sleep and will seek to destroy it. Its counterpart Xerneas has the power to cure Yveltal's victims by filling them with life energy, but as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. Xerneas is also shown to be capable of calming down Yveltal should it get enraged. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Yveltal was shown making plants wither away by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "the one who takes" due to its ability to take life. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Y".<br />
<br />
Yveltal is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Oblivion Wing}} and the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Dark Aura}} as an [[Ability]].<br />

* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: {{mdc|Yveltal|smd}} is one of the main antagonists of the game. It first appears on [[Revelation Mountain]], turning the {{player}}, partner, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Entei}} to stone. Later, Yveltal and the other Pokémon possessed by [[Dark Matter]] attack the group again at the [[Road to Primeval Forest]]. Once freed from its possession, Yveltal feels deep regret for its actions, despite having been under the control of something else, and tries to make amends by attacking Dark Matter later on, only to be turned to stone itself.<br />

====Major appearances====<br />
=====[[Yveltal (M17)]]=====<br />
Yveltal debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It was first seen in a flashback destroying the [[Allearth Forest]] before transforming into a cocoon and slumbering. Years later, it reawakened and attempted to destroy the Allearth Forest again, turning [[Argus Steel|Argus]] and [[Millis Steel]], [[Merilyn]], [[Riot]], and [[Ash's Pikachu]] to stone in the process. It was then calmed by {{OBP|Xerneas|M17}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and flew away peacefully.<br />
<br />
=====Other=====<br />
Yveltal made its animated series debut in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where it unleashed trouble on a kingdom, turning people and Pokémon to stone such as [[Aila]]. Its attack prompted {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} to embark on a quest to find {{p|Xerneas}} and have it restore the land and Aila.<br />
<br />
====Minor appearances====<br />

<br />
===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
Yveltal debuted in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', alongside [[Xerxer|Xerneas]]. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant cocoon and tree states, which are being sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. Yveltal was later captured by [[Malva]], who revealed that it had been resting in the ground under the tree form Xerneas the entire time. In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', both Yveltal and Xerneas returned to their dormant states once again, choosing to do so in order to prevent [[Lysandre]] from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.<br />

===Concept and development===<br />
Yveltal and Xerneas were designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Their initial designs were started by Sugimori, but he encountered {{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}, having a hard time coming up with concepts for the two [[Legendary Pokémon]]. For the first time, he gave the work over to another designer, Ohmura, who furthered the designs before giving them back to Sugimori to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Its silhouette was modeled after the letter {{wp|Y}}.<ref>Iwata Asks - Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 English], [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/ekjj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref><br />

<br />
===Merchandise===<br />
Yveltal was featured as a rock-paper-scissors [[Poké Ball]] launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Yveltal is shaped like the letter Y. It resembles birds such as the {{wp|long-tailed widowbird}}, or {{wp|carrion}} birds such as {{wp|Carrion crow|crows}} and {{wp|vulture}}s.<br />
<br />
Yveltal may also be based on any number of avian-related figures from mythology, such as the Celtic death-goddess {{wp|Morrigan}}, which often takes the form of a raven; or Norse mythological figures such as {{wp|Hræsvelgr}}, which takes the form of an eagle and sits at the end of the world, or the hawk {{wp|Veðrfölnir and eagle|Veðrfölnir or the unnamed eagle}} that resides at the top of the world tree {{wp|Yggdrasil}}. Additionally, it bears a striking resemblance to a species of fungus known as "{{wp|Clathrus archeri|devil's fingers}}."<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Yveltal begins with the letter Y. It may be derived from ''{{wp|wiktionary:yvel|yvel}}'' (a {{wp|Middle English}} spelling of ''evil'') and ''{{wp|quetzal}}'' or ''{{wp|talon}}''.<br />

'''Xerneas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼルネアス''' ''Xerneas'') is a {{type|Fairy}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Xerneas has two [[#Form data|forms]], which change depending on its status. When Xerneas is in a {{pkmn|battle}} or a [[Pokémon Contest]], it is in '''Active Mode''' and its horns are multicolor; otherwise, it is in '''Neutral Mode''' and its horns are cyan.<br />
<br />
Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Yveltal}}, Xerneas was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon X}}, appearing on its boxart. Xerneas, {{p|Yveltal}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:716 Tree VI OD.png|thumb|185px|left|Xerneas's dormant form, the Tree of Life]]<br />
Xerneas is a quadrupedal, stag-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with four pairs of antlers. Its coloration varies slightly depending on whether it is in Active Mode or Neutral Mode. Regardless of mode, its main body is always black with a blue stripe down its back and a short, bushy tail. Starting at its knees there is a blade-like trim around each leg, which forms a point under each hoof. There is an upside-down, V-shaped marking on its chest in the same color as the trim on its legs. Its head and neck are blue, and there are two large, tufts that extend onto its chest and curve upward. Its first pair of antlers extends onto its head and curves around the underside of its eyes. The eyes are black with X-shaped pupils. There is a short marking on top of its snout and an upward curving horn on each side of its head in place of ears.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is said to represent life and rebirth. It has the power to share eternal life using its horns, which shine in seven colors. Xerneas can use its life energy to create vast forests and restore life to them. It can infuse both humans and Pokémon with energy and vitality. Notably, it can alter the rare [[Alpha Pokémon]] to enter a more powerful "Anomalous Alphas" state thanks to its life energy. According to [[Mable]], Xerneas can command an unlimited amount of life energy.<ref>[[Mable]]: "I mean, it has command of basically an unlimited pool of life energy!"'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> Because of this, she assumes that Xerneas could induce [[Rogue Mega Evolution]] in the presence of [[Mega Power]]. Xerneas is known to be drawn towards life energy being unleashed or affecting the ecosystem, such as the Mega Power emitted by [[Ange]]. It is highly respected by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] for its role in giving life. According to legend, Xerneas is known to have rescued wounded Pokémon during an ancient war. Both Xerneas and {{P|Yveltal}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Xerneas's power can also be used to power up machines such as the [[ultimate weapon]]. Its [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] can convert [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the ultimate weapon.<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Geomancy|absorb the energy around itself}} to strengthen itself through rainbow-colored lights.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ | Legendary Pokémon | X and Y (Archived)]</ref> According to research done by Mable, Xerneas's ability to affect life is mysterious to the point that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref><br />
<br />
The relationship between Xerneas and Yveltal can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As seen in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'', if it exhausts too much life energy, it transforms into a tree and sleeps for 1,000 years. It was also shown capable of calming Yveltal should it get enraged. Xerneas has the power to revive those who have been petrified by Yveltal. However, as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. As shown in In the Pokémon Adventures manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, Xerneas can [[Talking Pokémon|speak human language]] through telepathy. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Xerneas was shown making plants grow by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "The one who gives" due to its ability to give life. In Pokémon Adventures and in ''Pokémon the Series'', it has been referred to as "X".<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Geomancy}}. Prior to [[Generation IX]], it was also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an [[Ability]].<br />
<br />
===Forms===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Active Mode and Neutral Mode.<br />
<br />
====Active Mode====<br />
In Active Mode, its markings, antlers, and trim on its legs are pale gold. Its antlers have branches and bumps in many colors and there are multicolored spots on its back. Xerneas assumes this Mode during battle or when using its power. Xerneas is at full power when in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
====Neutral Mode====<br />
In Neutral Mode, its markings and antlers are instead pale blue and the embellishments on its antlers and spots on its back are a darker blue. Xerneas assumes Neutral Mode when not battling and traveling. This remains until it needs to use Active Mode.<br />

<br />
===Form data===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Neutral Mode and Active Mode. There is no gameplay difference between them; Xerneas appears in Active Mode in {{pkmn|battle}}s and [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]] (as well as its [[summary]] screen in the mobile version of [[Pokémon HOME]]) and appears in Neutral Mode in other situations, such as in cutscenes, the [[party]] and summary screens, the [[Pokémon Storage System]], [[Pokémon-Amie]], [[Pokémon Refresh]], [[Pokémon Camp]], and as a [[walking Pokémon]]. According to the [[Pokédex]], Xerneas shares everlasting life while it is in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and {{g|GO}}, Xerneas does not have distinct forms programmed in. Instead, it assumes the appearance of its Active Form in battle[[Pokémon GO|<sup>'''{{color|{{GO color}}|GO}}'''</sup>]]/during its attacking animations{{sup/9|ZA}} in a similar manner to other [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Form-like_transformations|form-like transformations]] and appears to be in Neutral Mode otherwise.<br />
<br />
Xerneas's horns and some highlights in its fur are light blue in Neutral Mode and light gold in Active Mode. In Active Mode, it grows protrusions on its horns and the spots on its back light up in several different colors.<br />

===Main series===<br />
====Major appearances====<br />
=====[[Xerneas (M17)]]=====<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It granted {{an|Diancie}} its {{a|Fairy Aura}}, which Diancie spent the entire {{pkmn|movie}} looking for. Later, it calmed down the awakened {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restored everything that Yveltal petrified. As a result, Xerneas transformed into a tree.<br />
<br />
=====Other=====<br />
Xerneas made its animated series debut as a silhouette in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]''. However, its antlers could clearly be seen. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY042|Battling into the Hall of Fame!]]''.<br />
<br />
A Xerneas appeared in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} asked for its help after {{p|Yveltal}} caused trouble upon his kingdom, including turning [[Aila]] to stone. Though it restored much of the damage Yveltal inflicted, it could not revive Aila, and thus left.<br />
<br />
====Minor appearances====<br />
A silhouetted Xerneas appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN053|Healing the Healer!]]''.<br />
<br />
===GOTCHA!===<br />
[[File:Calem Xerneas Evolutions.png|thumb|left|250px|Xerneas in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]<br />
A Xerneas briefly appeared as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Evolutions===<br />
A Xerneas appeared in ''[[PE03|The Visionary]]'', under the ownership of {{ga|Calem}}. He used it during a battle against [[Lysandre]], quickly defeating his {{me|Gyarados}}.<br />

{{main|Xerneas (M17)}}<br />
Xerneas appears in the {{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction|manga adaptation}} of the first {{aniseries|XY}} {{pkmn|movie}}, ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.<br />
<br />
===Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!===<br />
[[Manabu Kadoo|Manabu]] used a Xerneas in Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!.<br />
<br />
===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===<br />
A Xerneas appeared in [[LDK1]].<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Xerxer}}<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', alongside Yveltal. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant tree and cocoon states, which were sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. Later Xerneas awakened and took back most of the energy that had been absorbed from it. Afterwards, it was befriended and caught by {{adv|Y}}, who [[nickname]]d it Xerxer. When [[Malva]] arrived and revealed that she had captured Yveltal, the two nearly clashed again before [[Xerosic]] stopped them, stating that [[Lysandre]] ordered a ceasefire, as the powers of the two would cause an endless war. Xerxer agreed with this and escaped carrying Y and her friends. During the final battle against Team Flare, Xerxer and Yveltal clashed again, and eventually chose to return to their dormant states in order to prevent Lysandre from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.<br />

==Other appearances==<br />
[[File:Xerneas SSB4 3DS.png|220px|thumb|Xerneas in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]]]<br />
[[File:Xerneas 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|left|150px|Xerneas trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]<br />
[[File:Xerneas SSB4.png|220px|thumb|Xerneas in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]]]<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===<br />
Xerneas appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} Pokémon. In the 3DS version, it is unlocked after playing {{sbw|Target Blast}} at least once, while in the Wii U version, it is unlocked by breaking at least 200 blocks in a solo game of {{sbw|Trophy Rush}} as {{SSB|Pikachu}}. When released, it uses {{m|Geomancy}} to energize nearby fighters, giving their attacks stronger knockback for a time or giving them stronger defenses. Xerneas also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.<br />
<br />
====Trophy information====<br />
'''NA''':''The horns on Xerneas's head give this {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} the power to bestow eternal life. It emanates energy with a move called Geomancy that causes all the fighters to glow. As pretty as it is, this makes everyone more easily launchable. Know when to take advantage and when to lay low.''<br />
<br />
'''PAL''': ''The horns on Xerneas's head give this Pokémon the power to bestow eternal life. When summoned in a match, energy will emanate from it and make all fighters glow. Pretty it may be, but this Geomancy move makes everyone much easier to launch. Knowing that, will you take advantage of the situation, or try to stay out of the way? ''<br />
<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===<br />
Xerneas returns as a Poké Ball summon, but it seems to only affect the summoner, who is turned {{sbw|Gold Fighter|golden}}. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Xerneas has the same stat distribution as {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />
* Xerneas has several unique distinctions:<br />
** It is the only single-type [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]] (not counting [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}}).<br />
** It is the only [[game mascot]] whose [[signature move]] is a [[status move]].<br />
** As of {{g|Champions}}, it is the only Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] to have a former [[signature Ability]], since {{me|Floette}} can now have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an Ability.<br />
** In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, if it is in [[Pokémon Camp]], it will not play with the [[Poké Toy]] when the player shakes it, instead reacting negatively to it. It is the only Pokémon with this trait.<br />
* Xerneas is tied with {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Weezing}} for being the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} (excluding {{p|Arceus}}'s Fairy-type [[form]]).<br />
* When a {{Shiny}} Xerneas is obtained by event, its model on the [[Mystery Gift]] screen is incomplete. It appears in its Active Mode, except the multicolored additions to its horns are either missing or the same blue color as on its neck.<br />
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Xerneas's Neutral Mode has no special animations that play in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation VI|Hoenn Pokédex]]; however, it plays Active Mode's attack animations if tapped in the [[summary]] screen.<br />
* In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Xerneas will not react if whistled at as a [[walking Pokémon]] in the [[Isle of Armor]] or the [[Crown Tundra]]. It shares this distinction with the fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}.<br />
* Xerneas and Yveltal are the only game mascots who are unobtainable through [[transfer]]ring in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.<br />
<br />
===Concept and development===<br />
Xerneas and Yveltal, were designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Their initial designs were started by Sugimori, but he encountered {{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}, having a hard time coming up with concepts for the two [[Legendary Pokémon]]. For the first time, he gave the work over to another designer, Ohmura, who furthered the designs before giving them back to Sugimori to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Its silhouette was modeled after the letter {{wp|X}}.<ref>Iwata Asks - Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 English], [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/ekjj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref><br />

<br />
===Merchandise===<br />
Xerneas was featured as a rock-paper-scissors [[Poké Ball]] launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Xerneas is shaped like the letter X. By extension, it may also resemble the {{wp|saltire}} symbol in heraldry or the {{wp|X mark}}. Xerneas resembles a cervid, more specifically the extinct species {{wp|Eucladoceros}}.<br />
<br />
Xerneas may also be based on {{wp|Eikþyrnir}} and the four stags {{wp|Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór}} of {{wp|Norse mythology}}. Eikþyrnir resides in {{wp|Valhalla}} eating the foliage of {{wp|Læraðr}} with glowing horns that drip with dew. According to the ''{{wp|Poetic Edda}}'', the four stags resided in the trunk of the World Tree, {{wp|Yggdrasil}}, and ate its branches and fresh shoots. Alternatively, Xerneas may be based on {{wp|Cernunnos}} of {{wp|Celtic mythology}}, a life-giving deity known as the "horned god" and associated with antlers.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Xerneas begins with the letter X. It may be derived from ''cervus'' (Latin for "deer"), ''{{wp|Cernunnos}}'' (a horned Celtic god), ''{{wp|Ceryneian Hind}}'', and アース ''āsu'' (earth).<br />

'''Xerneas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼルネアス''' ''Xerneas'') is a {{type|Fairy}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Xerneas has two [[#Form data|forms]], which change depending on its status. When Xerneas is in a {{pkmn|battle}} or a [[Pokémon Contest]], it is in '''Active Mode''' and its horns are multicolor; otherwise, it is in '''Neutral Mode''' and its horns are cyan.<br />
<br />
Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Yveltal}}, Xerneas was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon X}}, appearing on its boxart. Xerneas, {{p|Yveltal}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:716 Tree VI OD.png|thumb|185px|left|Xerneas's dormant form, the Tree of Life]]<br />
Xerneas is a quadrupedal, stag-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with four pairs of antlers. Its coloration varies slightly depending on whether it is in Active Mode or Neutral Mode. Regardless of mode, its main body is always black with a blue stripe down its back and a short, bushy tail. Starting at its knees there is a blade-like trim around each leg, which forms a point under each hoof. There is an upside-down, V-shaped marking on its chest in the same color as the trim on its legs. Its head and neck are blue, and there are two large, tufts that extend onto its chest and curve upward. Its first pair of antlers extends onto its head and curves around the underside of its eyes. The eyes are black with X-shaped pupils. There is a short marking on top of its snout and an upward curving horn on each side of its head in place of ears.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is said to represent life and rebirth. It has the power to share eternal life using its horns, which shine in seven colors. Xerneas can use its life energy to create vast forests and restore life to them. It can infuse both humans and Pokémon with energy and vitality. Notably, it can alter the rare [[Alpha Pokémon]] to enter a more powerful "Anomalous Alphas" state thanks to its life energy. According to [[Mable]], Xerneas can command an unlimited amount of life energy.<ref>[[Mable]]: "I mean, it has command of basically an unlimited pool of life energy!"'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> Because of this, she assumes that Xerneas could induce [[Rogue Mega Evolution]] in the presence of [[Mega Power]]. Xerneas is known to be drawn towards life energy being unleashed or affecting the ecosystem, such as the Mega Power emitted by [[Ange]]. It is highly respected by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] for its role in giving life. According to legend, Xerneas is known to have rescued wounded Pokémon during an ancient war. Both Xerneas and {{P|Yveltal}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Xerneas's power can also be used to power up machines such as the [[ultimate weapon]]. Its [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] can convert [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the ultimate weapon.<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Geomancy|absorb the energy around itself}} to strengthen itself through rainbow-colored lights.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ | Legendary Pokémon | X and Y (Archived)]</ref> According to research done by Mable, Xerneas's ability to affect life is mysterious to the point that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref><br />
<br />
The relationship between Xerneas and Yveltal can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As seen in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'', if it exhausts too much life energy, it transforms into a tree and sleeps for 1,000 years. It was also shown capable of calming Yveltal should it get enraged. Xerneas has the power to revive those who have been petrified by Yveltal. However, as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. As shown in In the Pokémon Adventures manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, Xerneas can [[Talking Pokémon|speak human language]] through telepathy. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Xerneas was shown making plants grow by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "The one who gives" due to its ability to give life. In Pokémon Adventures and in ''Pokémon the Series'', it has been referred to as "X".<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Geomancy}}. Prior to [[Generation IX]], it was also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an [[Ability]].<br />
<br />
===Forms===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Active Mode and Neutral Mode.<br />
<br />
====Active Mode====<br />
In Active Mode, its markings, antlers, and trim on its legs are pale gold. Its antlers have branches and bumps in many colors and there are multicolored spots on its back. Xerneas assumes this Mode during battle or when using its power. Xerneas is at full power when in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
====Neutral Mode====<br />
In Neutral Mode, its markings and antlers are instead pale blue and the embellishments on its antlers and spots on its back are a darker blue. Xerneas assumes Neutral Mode when not battling and traveling. This remains until it needs to use Active Mode.<br />

<br />
===Form data===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Neutral Mode and Active Mode. There is no gameplay difference between them; Xerneas appears in Active Mode in {{pkmn|battle}}s and [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]] (as well as its [[summary]] screen in the mobile version of [[Pokémon HOME]]) and appears in Neutral Mode in other situations, such as in cutscenes, the [[party]] and summary screens, the [[Pokémon Storage System]], [[Pokémon-Amie]], [[Pokémon Refresh]], [[Pokémon Camp]], and as a [[walking Pokémon]]. According to the [[Pokédex]], Xerneas shares everlasting life while it is in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and {{g|GO}}, Xerneas does not have distinct forms programmed in. Instead, it assumes the appearance of its Active Form in battle[[Pokémon GO|<sup>'''{{color|{{GO color}}|GO}}'''</sup>]]/during its attacking animations{{sup/9|ZA}} in a similar manner to other [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Form-like_transformations|form-like transformations]] and appears to be in Neutral Mode otherwise.<br />
<br />
Xerneas's horns and some highlights in its fur are light blue in Neutral Mode and light gold in Active Mode. In Active Mode, it grows protrusions on its horns and the spots on its back light up in several different colors.<br />

===Main series===<br />
====Major appearances====<br />
=====[[Xerneas (M17)]]=====<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It granted {{an|Diancie}} its {{a|Fairy Aura}}, which Diancie spent the entire {{pkmn|movie}} looking for. Later, it calmed down the awakened {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restored everything that Yveltal petrified. As a result, Xerneas transformed into a tree.<br />
<br />
=====Other=====<br />
Xerneas made its animated series debut as a silhouette in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]''. However, its antlers could clearly be seen. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY042|Battling into the Hall of Fame!]]''.<br />
<br />
A Xerneas appeared in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} asked for its help after {{p|Yveltal}} caused trouble upon his kingdom, including turning [[Aila]] to stone. Though it restored much of the damage Yveltal inflicted, it could not revive Aila, and thus left.<br />
<br />
====Minor appearances====<br />
A silhouetted Xerneas appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN053|Healing the Healer!]]''.<br />
<br />

<br />
===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Xerxer}}<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', alongside Yveltal. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant tree and cocoon states, which were sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. Later Xerneas awakened and took back most of the energy that had been absorbed from it. Afterwards, it was befriended and caught by {{adv|Y}}, who [[nickname]]d it Xerxer. When [[Malva]] arrived and revealed that she had captured Yveltal, the two nearly clashed again before [[Xerosic]] stopped them, stating that [[Lysandre]] ordered a ceasefire, as the powers of the two would cause an endless war. Xerxer agreed with this and escaped carrying Y and her friends. During the final battle against Team Flare, Xerxer and Yveltal clashed again, and eventually chose to return to their dormant states in order to prevent Lysandre from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.<br />

[[File:Xerneas SSB4.png|220px|thumb|Xerneas in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]]]<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===<br />
Xerneas appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} Pokémon. In the 3DS version, it is unlocked after playing {{sbw|Target Blast}} at least once, while in the Wii U version, it is unlocked by breaking at least 200 blocks in a solo game of {{sbw|Trophy Rush}} as {{SSB|Pikachu}}. When released, it uses {{m|Geomancy}} to energize nearby fighters, giving their attacks stronger knockback for a time or giving them stronger defenses. Xerneas also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.<br />
<br />
====Trophy information====<br />
'''NA''':''The horns on Xerneas's head give this {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} the power to bestow eternal life. It emanates energy with a move called Geomancy that causes all the fighters to glow. As pretty as it is, this makes everyone more easily launchable. Know when to take advantage and when to lay low.''<br />
<br />
'''PAL''': ''The horns on Xerneas's head give this Pokémon the power to bestow eternal life. When summoned in a match, energy will emanate from it and make all fighters glow. Pretty it may be, but this Geomancy move makes everyone much easier to launch. Knowing that, will you take advantage of the situation, or try to stay out of the way? ''<br />
<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===<br />
Xerneas returns as a Poké Ball summon, but it seems to only affect the summoner, who is turned {{sbw|Gold Fighter|golden}}. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Xerneas has the same stat distribution as {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />
* Xerneas has several unique distinctions:<br />
** It is the only single-type [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]] (not counting [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}}).<br />
** It is the only [[game mascot]] whose [[signature move]] is a [[status move]].<br />
** As of {{g|Champions}}, it is the only Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] to have a former [[signature Ability]], since {{me|Floette}} can now have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an Ability.<br />
** In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, if it is in [[Pokémon Camp]], it will not play with the [[Poké Toy]] when the player shakes it, instead reacting negatively to it. It is the only Pokémon with this trait.<br />
* Xerneas is tied with {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Weezing}} for being the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} (excluding {{p|Arceus}}'s Fairy-type [[form]]).<br />
* When a {{Shiny}} Xerneas is obtained by event, its model on the [[Mystery Gift]] screen is incomplete. It appears in its Active Mode, except the multicolored additions to its horns are either missing or the same blue color as on its neck.<br />
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Xerneas's Neutral Mode has no special animations that play in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation VI|Hoenn Pokédex]]; however, it plays Active Mode's attack animations if tapped in the [[summary]] screen.<br />
* In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Xerneas will not react if whistled at as a [[walking Pokémon]] in the [[Isle of Armor]] or the [[Crown Tundra]]. It shares this distinction with the fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}.<br />
* Xerneas and Yveltal are the only game mascots who are unobtainable through [[transfer]]ring in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.<br />
<br />
===Concept and development===<br />
Xerneas, along with Yveltal, was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Their initial designs were started by Sugimori, but he encountered {{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}, having a hard time coming up with concepts for the two [[Legendary Pokémon]]. For the first time, he gave the work over to another designer, Ohmura, who furthered the designs before giving them back to Sugimori to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Its silhouette was modeled after the letter {{wp|X}}.<ref>Iwata Asks - Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 English], [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/ekjj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref><br />

<br />
===Merchandise===<br />
Xerneas was featured as a rock-paper-scissors [[Poké Ball]] launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Xerneas is shaped like the letter X. By extension, it may also resemble the {{wp|saltire}} symbol in heraldry or the {{wp|X mark}}. Xerneas resembles a cervid, more specifically the extinct species {{wp|Eucladoceros}}.<br />
<br />
Xerneas may also be based on {{wp|Eikþyrnir}} and the four stags {{wp|Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór}} of {{wp|Norse mythology}}. Eikþyrnir resides in {{wp|Valhalla}} eating the foliage of {{wp|Læraðr}} with glowing horns that drip with dew. According to the ''{{wp|Poetic Edda}}'', the four stags resided in the trunk of the World Tree, {{wp|Yggdrasil}}, and ate its branches and fresh shoots. Alternatively, Xerneas may be based on {{wp|Cernunnos}} of {{wp|Celtic mythology}}, a life-giving deity known as the "horned god" and associated with antlers.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Xerneas begins with the letter X. It may be derived from ''cervus'' (Latin for "deer"), ''{{wp|Cernunnos}}'' (a horned Celtic god), ''{{wp|Ceryneian Hind}}'', and アース ''āsu'' (earth).<br />

'''Yveltal''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イベルタル''' ''Yveltal'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].<br />
<br />
It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Xerneas}}, Yveltal was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.<br />
<br />
Yveltal is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon Y}}, appearing on its boxart. Yveltal, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:717 Cocoon VI OD.png|thumb|left|185px|Yveltal's dormant form, the Cocoon of Destruction]]<br />
Yveltal is a large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with both avian and draconic traits. The back of its body is black with white spots along the wings and back; its front, head, and neck are bright red with branching, black lines throughout. It has a pointed, beak-like snout, bright blue eyes, a black, forward-curving horn over each eye, and a thin, antenna-like growth behind each eye. A feathery gray ruff encircles its neck and billows out over its back. Yveltal's wings each have three spikes along the bottom edge near the body and five large, black claws on the tip. It has small, birdlike legs with gray talons. Each foot has two toes facing forward and one pointing backward. Its tail is similar in structure to its wings, including the five claws on the tip.<br />
[[File:Yveltal ZA.png|250px|thumb|right|Yveltal walking on the ground.]]<br />
Yveltal is said to represent destruction and death. It has the power to absorb life energy by spreading its wings and tailfeathers; according to legend, it does this in order to power up its own energy. It is highly feared by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] because of this. Yveltal is known to appear during a conflict, draining the life energy of any person or Pokémon that it encounters. Upon reaching the end of its lifespan, Yveltal steals the life energy of everything around it, then encases itself in a cocoon and falls into a deep slumber. Both Yveltal and {{p|Xerneas}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Yveltal's power can be used to power up machines, as seen with the [[ultimate weapon]]. Yveltal's [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] has the power to transform [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the [[ultimate weapon]].<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Oblivion Wing|release a red beam that absorbs its target's energy}}, restoring its vitality as a result. Said attack can also burn the ground it hits in the process.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Pokémon Y | Legendary Pokémon!] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> Yveltal can crawl on the ground using its wings and talons, similar to a bat. It can also use its wings to propel itself back into the air. It will harm anyone who tries to take it, even while it's in its dormant, cocoon-like state. Yveltal is drawn to the life energy that's released or disturbed within the ecosystem, such as the [[Mega Power]] emitted by the [[Ange]] machine. According to research done by [[Mable]] of [[Team Flare]], Yveltal's ability to manipulate life is considered so mysterious that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref><br />
<br />
The relationship between Yveltal and Xerneas can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As shown in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', any living creatures drained by Yveltal will turn into petrified stone, though it is unknown whether this action is intentionally malicious or not. As depicted in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction,'' Yveltal can be very vengeful to anyone who disturbs its sleep and will seek to destroy it. Its counterpart Xerneas has the power to cure Yveltal's victims by filling them with life energy, but as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. Xerneas is also shown to be capable of calming down Yveltal should it get enraged. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Yveltal was shown making plants wither away by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "the one who takes" due to its ability to take life. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Y".<br />
<br />
Yveltal is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Oblivion Wing}} and the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Dark Aura}} as an [[Ability]].<br />

===NPC appearances===<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: {{mdc|Yveltal|smd}} is one of the main antagonists of the game. It first appears on [[Revelation Mountain]], turning the {{player}}, partner, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Entei}} to stone. Later, Yveltal and the other Pokémon possessed by [[Dark Matter]] attack the group again at the [[Road to Primeval Forest]]. Once freed from its possession, Yveltal feels deep regret for its actions, despite having been under the control of something else, and tries to make amends by attacking Dark Matter later on, only to be turned to stone itself.<br />

====Major appearances====<br />
=====[[Yveltal (M17)]]=====<br />
Yveltal debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It was first seen in a flashback destroying the [[Allearth Forest]] before transforming into a cocoon and slumbering. Years later, it reawakened and attempted to destroy the Allearth Forest again, turning [[Argus Steel|Argus]] and [[Millis Steel]], [[Merilyn]], [[Riot]], and [[Ash's Pikachu]] to stone in the process. It was then calmed by {{OBP|Xerneas|M17}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and flew away peacefully.<br />
<br />
=====Other=====<br />
Yveltal made its animated series debut in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where it unleashed trouble on a kingdom, turning people and Pokémon to stone such as [[Aila]]. Its attack prompted {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} to embark on a quest to find {{p|Xerneas}} and have it restore the land and Aila.<br />
<br />
====Minor appearances====<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Generations===<br />

===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
Yveltal debuted in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', alongside [[Xerxer|Xerneas]]. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant cocoon and tree states, which are being sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. Yveltal was later captured by [[Malva]], who revealed that it had been resting in the ground under the tree form Xerneas the entire time. In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', both Yveltal and Xerneas returned to their dormant states once again, choosing to do so in order to prevent [[Lysandre]] from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.<br />

====Trophy information====<br />
'''NA''': ''With its wings spread wide, this Legendary Pokémon looks just like the letter Y. Since its name also starts with the same letter, it's difficult to imagine a more appropriate mascot for Pokémon Y.

<br />
===Concept and development===<br />
Yveltal, along with Xerneas, was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Their initial designs were started by Sugimori, but he encountered {{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}, having a hard time coming up with concepts for the two [[Legendary Pokémon]]. For the first time, he gave the work over to another designer, Ohmura, who furthered the designs before giving them back to Sugimori to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Its silhouette was modeled after the letter {{wp|Y}}.<ref>Iwata Asks - Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 English], [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/ekjj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref><br />

<br />
===Merchandise===<br />
Yveltal was featured as a rock-paper-scissors [[Poké Ball]] launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Yveltal is shaped like the letter Y. It resembles birds such as the {{wp|long-tailed widowbird}}, or {{wp|carrion}} birds such as {{wp|Carrion crow|crows}} and {{wp|vulture}}s.<br />
<br />
Yveltal may also be based on any number of avian-related figures from mythology, such as the Celtic death-goddess {{wp|Morrigan}}, which often takes the form of a raven; or Norse mythological figures such as {{wp|Hræsvelgr}}, which takes the form of an eagle and sits at the end of the world, or the hawk {{wp|Veðrfölnir and eagle|Veðrfölnir or the unnamed eagle}} that resides at the top of the world tree {{wp|Yggdrasil}}. Additionally, it bears a striking resemblance to a species of fungus known as "{{wp|Clathrus archeri|devil's fingers}}."<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Yveltal begins with the letter Y. It may be derived from ''{{wp|wiktionary:yvel|yvel}}'' (a {{wp|Middle English}} spelling of ''evil'') and ''{{wp|quetzal}}'' or ''{{wp|talon}}''.<br />

'''Xerneas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼルネアス''' ''Xerneas'') is a {{type|Fairy}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Xerneas has two [[#Form data|forms]], which change depending on its status. When Xerneas is in a {{pkmn|battle}} or a [[Pokémon Contest]], it is in '''Active Mode''' and its horns are multicolor; otherwise, it is in '''Neutral Mode''' and its horns are cyan.<br />
<br />
Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Yveltal}}, Xerneas was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon X}}, appearing on its boxart. Xerneas, {{p|Yveltal}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />

[[File:716 Tree VI OD.png|thumb|185px|left|Xerneas's dormant form, the Tree of Life]]<br />
Xerneas is a quadrupedal, stag-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with four pairs of antlers. Its coloration varies slightly depending on whether it is in Active Mode or Neutral Mode. Regardless of mode, its main body is always black with a blue stripe down its back and a short, bushy tail. Starting at its knees there is a blade-like trim around each leg, which forms a point under each hoof. There is an upside-down, V-shaped marking on its chest in the same color as the trim on its legs. Its head and neck are blue, and there are two large, tufts that extend onto its chest and curve upward. Its first pair of antlers extends onto its head and curves around the underside of its eyes. The eyes are black with X-shaped pupils. There is a short marking on top of its snout and an upward curving horn on each side of its head in place of ears.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is said to represent life and rebirth. It has the power to share eternal life using its horns, which shine in seven colors. Xerneas can use its life energy to create vast forests and restore life to them. It can infuse both humans and Pokémon with energy and vitality. Notably, it can alter the rare [[Alpha Pokémon]] to enter a more powerful "Anomalous Alphas" state thanks to its life energy. According to [[Mable]], Xerneas can command an unlimited amount of life energy.<ref>[[Mable]]: "I mean, it has command of basically an unlimited pool of life energy!"'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> Because of this, she assumes that Xerneas could induce [[Rogue Mega Evolution]] in the presence of [[Mega Power]]. Xerneas is known to be drawn towards life energy being unleashed or affecting the ecosystem, such as the Mega Power emitted by [[Ange]]. It is highly respected by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] for its role in giving life. According to legend, Xerneas is known to have rescued wounded Pokémon during an ancient war. Both Xerneas and {{P|Yveltal}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Xerneas's power can also be used to power up machines such as the [[ultimate weapon]]. Its [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] can convert [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the ultimate weapon.<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Geomancy|absorb the energy around itself}} to strengthen itself through rainbow-colored lights.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ | Legendary Pokémon | X and Y (Archived)]</ref> According to research done by Mable, Xerneas's ability to affect life is mysterious to the point that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref><br />
<br />
The relationship between Xerneas and Yveltal can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As seen in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'', if it exhausts too much life energy, it transforms into a tree and sleeps for 1,000 years. It was also shown capable of calming Yveltal should it get enraged. Xerneas has the power to revive those who have been petrified by Yveltal. However, as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. As shown in In the Pokémon Adventures manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, Xerneas can [[Talking Pokémon|speak human language]] through telepathy. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Xerneas was shown making plants grow by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "The one who gives" due to its ability to give life. In Pokémon Adventures and in ''Pokémon the Series'', it has been referred to as "X".<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Geomancy}}. Prior to [[Generation IX]], it was also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an [[Ability]].<br />
<br />
===Forms===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Active Mode and Neutral Mode.<br />
<br />
====Active Mode====<br />
In Active Mode, its markings, antlers, and trim on its legs are pale gold. Its antlers have branches and bumps in many colors and there are multicolored spots on its back. Xerneas assumes this Mode during battle or when using its power. Xerneas is at full power when in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
====Neutral Mode====<br />
In Neutral Mode, its markings and antlers are instead pale blue and the embellishments on its antlers and spots on its back are a darker blue. Xerneas assumes Neutral Mode when not battling and traveling. This remains until it needs to use Active Mode.<br />

<br />
===Form data===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Neutral Mode and Active Mode. There is no gameplay difference between them; Xerneas appears in Active Mode in {{pkmn|battle}}s and [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]] (as well as its [[summary]] screen in the mobile version of [[Pokémon HOME]]) and appears in Neutral Mode in other situations, such as in cutscenes, the [[party]] and summary screens, the [[Pokémon Storage System]], [[Pokémon-Amie]], [[Pokémon Refresh]], [[Pokémon Camp]], and as a [[walking Pokémon]]. According to the [[Pokédex]], Xerneas shares everlasting life while it is in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and {{g|GO}}, Xerneas does not have distinct forms programmed in. Instead, it assumes the appearance of its Active Form in battle[[Pokémon GO|<sup>'''{{color|{{GO color}}|GO}}'''</sup>]]/during its attacking animations{{sup/9|ZA}} in a similar manner to other [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Form-like_transformations|form-like transformations]] and appears to be in Neutral Mode otherwise.<br />
<br />
Xerneas's horns and some highlights in its fur are light blue in Neutral Mode and light gold in Active Mode. In Active Mode, it grows protrusions on its horns and the spots on its back light up in several different colors.<br />

===Main series===<br />
====Major appearances====<br />
=====[[Xerneas (M17)]]=====<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It granted {{an|Diancie}} its {{a|Fairy Aura}}, which Diancie spent the entire {{pkmn|movie}} looking for. Later, it calmed down the awakened {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restored everything that Yveltal petrified. As a result, Xerneas transformed into a tree.<br />
<br />
=====Other=====<br />
Xerneas made its animated series debut as a silhouette in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]''. However, its antlers could clearly be seen. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY042|Battling into the Hall of Fame!]]''.<br />
<br />
A Xerneas appeared in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} asked for its help after {{p|Yveltal}} caused trouble upon his kingdom, including turning [[Aila]] to stone. Though it restored much of the damage Yveltal inflicted, it could not revive Aila, and thus left.<br />
<br />
====Minor appearances====<br />
A silhouetted Xerneas appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN053|Healing the Healer!]]''.<br />
<br />

{{main|Xerxer}}<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', alongside Yveltal. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant tree and cocoon states, which were sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. Later Xerneas awakened and took back most of the energy that had been absorbed from it. Afterwards, it was befriended and caught by {{adv|Y}}, who [[nickname]]d it Xerxer. When [[Malva]] arrived and revealed that she had captured Yveltal, the two nearly clashed again before [[Xerosic]] stopped them, stating that [[Lysandre]] ordered a ceasefire, as the powers of the two would cause an endless war. Xerxer agreed with this and escaped carrying Y and her friends. During the final battle against Team Flare, Xerxer and Yveltal clashed again, and eventually chose to return to their dormant states in order to prevent Lysandre from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.<br />

[[File:Xerneas SSB4.png|220px|thumb|Xerneas in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]]]<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===<br />
Xerneas appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} Pokémon. In the 3DS version, it is unlocked after playing {{sbw|Target Blast}} at least once, while in the Wii U version, it is unlocked by breaking at least 200 blocks in a solo game of {{sbw|Trophy Rush}} as {{SSB|Pikachu}}. When released, it uses {{m|Geomancy}} to energize nearby fighters, giving their attacks stronger knockback for a time or giving them stronger defenses. Xerneas also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.<br />
<br />
====Trophy information====<br />
'''NA''':''The horns on Xerneas's head give this {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} the power to bestow eternal life. It emanates energy with a move called Geomancy that causes all the fighters to glow. As pretty as it is, this makes everyone more easily launchable. Know when to take advantage and when to lay low.''<br />
<br />
'''PAL''': ''The horns on Xerneas's head give this Pokémon the power to bestow eternal life. When summoned in a match, energy will emanate from it and make all fighters glow. Pretty it may be, but this Geomancy move makes everyone much easier to launch. Knowing that, will you take advantage of the situation, or try to stay out of the way? ''<br />
<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===<br />
Xerneas returns as a Poké Ball summon, but it seems to only affect the summoner, who is turned {{sbw|Gold Fighter|golden}}. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Xerneas has the same stat distribution as {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />
* Xerneas has several unique distinctions:<br />
** It is the only single-type [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]] (not counting [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}}).<br />
** It is the only [[game mascot]] whose [[signature move]] is a [[status move]].<br />
** As of {{g|Champions}}, it is the only Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] to have a former [[signature Ability]], since {{me|Floette}} can now have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an Ability.<br />
** In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, if it is in [[Pokémon Camp]], it will not play with the [[Poké Toy]] when the player shakes it, instead reacting negatively to it. It is the only Pokémon with this trait.<br />
* Xerneas is tied with {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Weezing}} for being the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} (excluding {{p|Arceus}}'s Fairy-type [[form]]).<br />
* When a {{Shiny}} Xerneas is obtained by event, its model on the [[Mystery Gift]] screen is incomplete. It appears in its Active Mode, except the multicolored additions to its horns are either missing or the same blue color as on its neck.<br />
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Xerneas's Neutral Mode has no special animations that play in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation VI|Hoenn Pokédex]]; however, it plays Active Mode's attack animations if tapped in the [[summary]] screen.<br />
* In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Xerneas will not react if whistled at as a [[walking Pokémon]] in the [[Isle of Armor]] or the [[Crown Tundra]]. It shares this distinction with the fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}.<br />
* Xerneas and Yveltal are the only game mascots who are unobtainable through [[transfer]]ring in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.<br />
<br />
===Concept and development===<br />
Xerneas, along with Yveltal, was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> The initial designs for the two Legendary Pokémon were started by Sugimori, but he encountered "{{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}". For the first time, he handed the work over to another designer, Ohmura, who furthered the designsbefore giving them back to Sugimori to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Its silhouette was modeled after the letter {{wp|X}}.<ref>Iwata Asks - Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 English], [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/ekjj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref><br />

<br />
===Merchandise===<br />
Xerneas was featured as a rock-paper-scissors [[Poké Ball]] launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Xerneas is shaped like the letter X. By extension, it may also resemble the {{wp|saltire}} symbol in heraldry or the {{wp|X mark}}. Xerneas resembles a cervid, more specifically the extinct species {{wp|Eucladoceros}}.<br />
<br />
Xerneas may also be based on {{wp|Eikþyrnir}} and the four stags {{wp|Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór}} of {{wp|Norse mythology}}. Eikþyrnir resides in {{wp|Valhalla}} eating the foliage of {{wp|Læraðr}} with glowing horns that drip with dew. According to the ''{{wp|Poetic Edda}}'', the four stags resided in the trunk of the World Tree, {{wp|Yggdrasil}}, and ate its branches and fresh shoots. Alternatively, Xerneas may be based on {{wp|Cernunnos}} of {{wp|Celtic mythology}}, a life-giving deity known as the "horned god" and associated with antlers.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Xerneas begins with the letter X. It may be derived from ''cervus'' (Latin for "deer"), ''{{wp|Cernunnos}}'' (a horned Celtic god), ''{{wp|Ceryneian Hind}}'', and アース ''āsu'' (earth).<br />

'''Xerneas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼルネアス''' ''Xerneas'') is a {{type|Fairy}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Xerneas has two [[#Form data|forms]], which change depending on its status. When Xerneas is in a {{pkmn|battle}} or a [[Pokémon Contest]], it is in '''Active Mode''' and its horns are multicolor; otherwise, it is in '''Neutral Mode''' and its horns are cyan.<br />
<br />
Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Yveltal}}, Xerneas was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon X}}, appearing on its boxart. Xerneas, {{p|Yveltal}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:716 Tree VI OD.png|thumb|185px|left|Xerneas's dormant form, the Tree of Life]]<br />
Xerneas is a quadrupedal, stag-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with four pairs of antlers. Its coloration varies slightly depending on whether it is in Active Mode or Neutral Mode. Regardless of mode, its main body is always black with a blue stripe down its back and a short, bushy tail. Starting at its knees there is a blade-like trim around each leg, which forms a point under each hoof. There is an upside-down, V-shaped marking on its chest in the same color as the trim on its legs. Its head and neck are blue, and there are two large, tufts that extend onto its chest and curve upward. Its first pair of antlers extends onto its head and curves around the underside of its eyes. The eyes are black with X-shaped pupils. There is a short marking on top of its snout and an upward curving horn on each side of its head in place of ears.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is said to represent life and rebirth. It has the power to share eternal life using its horns, which shine in seven colors. Xerneas can use its life energy to create vast forests and restore life to them. It can infuse both humans and Pokémon with energy and vitality. Notably, it can alter the rare [[Alpha Pokémon]] to enter a more powerful "Anomalous Alphas" state thanks to its life energy. According to [[Mable]], Xerneas can command an unlimited amount of life energy.<ref>[[Mable]]: "I mean, it has command of basically an unlimited pool of life energy!"'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> Because of this, she assumes that Xerneas could induce [[Rogue Mega Evolution]] in the presence of [[Mega Power]]. Xerneas is known to be drawn towards life energy being unleashed or affecting the ecosystem, such as the Mega Power emitted by [[Ange]]. It is highly respected by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] for its role in giving life. According to legend, Xerneas is known to have rescued wounded Pokémon during an ancient war. Both Xerneas and {{P|Yveltal}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Xerneas's power can also be used to power up machines such as the [[ultimate weapon]]. Its [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] can convert [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the ultimate weapon.<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Geomancy|absorb the energy around itself}} to strengthen itself through rainbow-colored lights.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ | Legendary Pokémon | X and Y (Archived)]</ref> According to research done by Mable, Xerneas's ability to affect life is mysterious to the point that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref><br />
<br />
The relationship between Xerneas and Yveltal can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As seen in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'', if it exhausts too much life energy, it transforms into a tree and sleeps for 1,000 years. It was also shown capable of calming Yveltal should it get enraged. Xerneas has the power to revive those who have been petrified by Yveltal. However, as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. As shown in In the Pokémon Adventures manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, Xerneas can [[Talking Pokémon|speak human language]] through telepathy. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Xerneas was shown making plants grow by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "The one who gives" due to its ability to give life. In Pokémon Adventures and in ''Pokémon the Series'', it has been referred to as "X".<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Geomancy}}. Prior to [[Generation IX]], it was also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an [[Ability]].<br />
<br />
===Forms===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Active Mode and Neutral Mode.<br />
<br />
====Active Mode====<br />
In Active Mode, its markings, antlers, and trim on its legs are pale gold. Its antlers have branches and bumps in many colors and there are multicolored spots on its back. Xerneas assumes this Mode during battle or when using its power. Xerneas is at full power when in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
====Neutral Mode====<br />
In Neutral Mode, its markings and antlers are instead pale blue and the embellishments on its antlers and spots on its back are a darker blue. Xerneas assumes Neutral Mode when not battling and traveling. This remains until it needs to use Active Mode.<br />

}}<br />

<br />
===Form data===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Neutral Mode and Active Mode. There is no gameplay difference between them; Xerneas appears in Active Mode in {{pkmn|battle}}s and [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]] (as well as its [[summary]] screen in the mobile version of [[Pokémon HOME]]) and appears in Neutral Mode in other situations, such as in cutscenes, the [[party]] and summary screens, the [[Pokémon Storage System]], [[Pokémon-Amie]], [[Pokémon Refresh]], [[Pokémon Camp]], and as a [[walking Pokémon]]. According to the [[Pokédex]], Xerneas shares everlasting life while it is in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and {{g|GO}}, Xerneas does not have distinct forms programmed in. Instead, it assumes the appearance of its Active Form in battle[[Pokémon GO|<sup>'''{{color|{{GO color}}|GO}}'''</sup>]]/during its attacking animations{{sup/9|ZA}} in a similar manner to other [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Form-like_transformations|form-like transformations]] and appears to be in Neutral Mode otherwise.<br />
<br />
Xerneas's horns and some highlights in its fur are light blue in Neutral Mode and light gold in Active Mode. In Active Mode, it grows protrusions on its horns and the spots on its back light up in several different colors.<br />

===Main series===<br />
====Major appearances====<br />
=====[[Xerneas (M17)]]=====<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It granted {{an|Diancie}} its {{a|Fairy Aura}}, which Diancie spent the entire {{pkmn|movie}} looking for. Later, it calmed down the awakened {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restored everything that Yveltal petrified. As a result, Xerneas transformed into a tree.<br />
<br />
=====Other=====<br />
Xerneas made its animated series debut as a silhouette in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]''. However, its antlers could clearly be seen. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY042|Battling into the Hall of Fame!]]''.<br />
<br />
A Xerneas appeared in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} asked for its help after {{p|Yveltal}} caused trouble upon his kingdom, including turning [[Aila]] to stone. Though it restored much of the damage Yveltal inflicted, it could not revive Aila, and thus left.<br />
<br />
====Minor appearances====<br />
A silhouetted Xerneas appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN053|Healing the Healer!]]''.<br />
<br />
===GOTCHA!===<br />
[[File:Calem Xerneas Evolutions.png|thumb|left|250px|Xerneas in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]<br />
A Xerneas briefly appeared as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Evolutions===<br />
A Xerneas appeared in ''[[PE03|The Visionary]]'', under the ownership of {{ga|Calem}}. He used it during a battle against [[Lysandre]], quickly defeating his {{me|Gyarados}}.<br />

===Movie adaptations===<br />
{{main|Xerneas (M17)}}<br />
Xerneas appears in the {{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction|manga adaptation}} of the first {{aniseries|XY}} {{pkmn|movie}}, ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.<br />
<br />
===Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!===<br />
[[Manabu Kadoo|Manabu]] used a Xerneas in Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!.<br />
<br />
===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===<br />
A Xerneas appeared in [[LDK1]].<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Xerxer}}<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', alongside Yveltal. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant tree and cocoon states, which were sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. Later Xerneas awakened and took back most of the energy that had been absorbed from it. Afterwards, it was befriended and caught by {{adv|Y}}, who [[nickname]]d it Xerxer. When [[Malva]] arrived and revealed that she had captured Yveltal, the two nearly clashed again before [[Xerosic]] stopped them, stating that [[Lysandre]] ordered a ceasefire, as the powers of the two would cause an endless war. Xerxer agreed with this and escaped carrying Y and her friends. During the final battle against Team Flare, Xerxer and Yveltal clashed again, and eventually chose to return to their dormant states in order to prevent Lysandre from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.<br />

==Other appearances==<br />
[[File:Xerneas SSB4 3DS.png|220px|thumb|Xerneas in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]]]<br />
[[File:Xerneas 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|left|150px|Xerneas trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]<br />
[[File:Xerneas SSB4.png|220px|thumb|Xerneas in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]]]<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===<br />
Xerneas appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} Pokémon. In the 3DS version, it is unlocked after playing {{sbw|Target Blast}} at least once, while in the Wii U version, it is unlocked by breaking at least 200 blocks in a solo game of {{sbw|Trophy Rush}} as {{SSB|Pikachu}}. When released, it uses {{m|Geomancy}} to energize nearby fighters, giving their attacks stronger knockback for a time or giving them stronger defenses. Xerneas also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.<br />
<br />
====Trophy information====<br />
'''NA''':''The horns on Xerneas's head give this {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} the power to bestow eternal life. It emanates energy with a move called Geomancy that causes all the fighters to glow. As pretty as it is, this makes everyone more easily launchable. Know when to take advantage and when to lay low.''<br />
<br />
'''PAL''': ''The horns on Xerneas's head give this Pokémon the power to bestow eternal life. When summoned in a match, energy will emanate from it and make all fighters glow. Pretty it may be, but this Geomancy move makes everyone much easier to launch. Knowing that, will you take advantage of the situation, or try to stay out of the way? ''<br />
<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===<br />
Xerneas returns as a Poké Ball summon, but it seems to only affect the summoner, who is turned {{sbw|Gold Fighter|golden}}. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Xerneas has the same stat distribution as {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />
* Xerneas has several unique distinctions:<br />
** It is the only single-type [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]] (not counting [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}}).<br />
** It is the only [[game mascot]] whose [[signature move]] is a [[status move]].<br />
** As of {{g|Champions}}, it is the only Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] to have a former [[signature Ability]], since {{me|Floette}} can now have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an Ability.<br />
** In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, if it is in [[Pokémon Camp]], it will not play with the [[Poké Toy]] when the player shakes it, instead reacting negatively to it. It is the only Pokémon with this trait.<br />
* Xerneas is tied with {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Weezing}} for being the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} (excluding {{p|Arceus}}'s Fairy-type [[form]]).<br />
* When a {{Shiny}} Xerneas is obtained by event, its model on the [[Mystery Gift]] screen is incomplete. It appears in its Active Mode, except the multicolored additions to its horns are either missing or the same blue color as on its neck.<br />
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Xerneas's Neutral Mode has no special animations that play in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation VI|Hoenn Pokédex]]; however, it plays Active Mode's attack animations if tapped in the [[summary]] screen.<br />
* In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Xerneas will not react if whistled at as a [[walking Pokémon]] in the [[Isle of Armor]] or the [[Crown Tundra]]. It shares this distinction with the fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}.<br />
* Xerneas and Yveltal are the only game mascots who are unobtainable through [[transfer]]ring in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.<br />
<br />
===Concept and development===<br />
Xerneas, along with {{p|Yveltal}}, was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> The initial designs for the two Legendary Pokémon were started by Sugimori, but he encountered "{{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}". For the first time, he handed the work over to another designer, Ohmura, who furthered the designsbefore giving them back to Sugimori to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Its silhouette was modeled after the letter {{wp|X}}.<ref>Iwata Asks - Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 English], [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/ekjj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref><br />

<br />
===Merchandise===<br />
Xerneas was featured as a rock-paper-scissors [[Poké Ball]] launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Xerneas is shaped like the letter X. By extension, it may also resemble the {{wp|saltire}} symbol in heraldry or the {{wp|X mark}}. Xerneas resembles a cervid, more specifically the extinct species {{wp|Eucladoceros}}.<br />
<br />
Xerneas may also be based on {{wp|Eikþyrnir}} and the four stags {{wp|Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór}} of {{wp|Norse mythology}}. Eikþyrnir resides in {{wp|Valhalla}} eating the foliage of {{wp|Læraðr}} with glowing horns that drip with dew. According to the ''{{wp|Poetic Edda}}'', the four stags resided in the trunk of the World Tree, {{wp|Yggdrasil}}, and ate its branches and fresh shoots. Alternatively, Xerneas may be based on {{wp|Cernunnos}} of {{wp|Celtic mythology}}, a life-giving deity known as the "horned god" and associated with antlers.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Xerneas begins with the letter X. It may be derived from ''cervus'' (Latin for "deer"), ''{{wp|Cernunnos}}'' (a horned Celtic god), ''{{wp|Ceryneian Hind}}'', and アース ''āsu'' (earth).<br />

'''Yveltal''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イベルタル''' ''Yveltal'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].<br />
<br />
It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Xerneas}}, Yveltal was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.<br />
<br />
Yveltal is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon Y}}, appearing on its boxart. Yveltal, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:717 Cocoon VI OD.png|thumb|left|185px|Yveltal's dormant form, the Cocoon of Destruction]]<br />
Yveltal is a large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with both avian and draconic traits. The back of its body is black with white spots along the wings and back; its front, head, and neck are bright red with branching, black lines throughout. It has a pointed, beak-like snout, bright blue eyes, a black, forward-curving horn over each eye, and a thin, antenna-like growth behind each eye. A feathery gray ruff encircles its neck and billows out over its back. Yveltal's wings each have three spikes along the bottom edge near the body and five large, black claws on the tip. It has small, birdlike legs with gray talons. Each foot has two toes facing forward and one pointing backward. Its tail is similar in structure to its wings, including the five claws on the tip.<br />
[[File:Yveltal ZA.png|250px|thumb|right|Yveltal walking on the ground.]]<br />
Yveltal is said to represent destruction and death. It has the power to absorb life energy by spreading its wings and tailfeathers; according to legend, it does this in order to power up its own energy. It is highly feared by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] because of this. Yveltal is known to appear during a conflict, draining the life energy of any person or Pokémon that it encounters. Upon reaching the end of its lifespan, Yveltal steals the life energy of everything around it, then encases itself in a cocoon and falls into a deep slumber. Both Yveltal and {{p|Xerneas}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Yveltal's power can be used to power up machines, as seen with the [[ultimate weapon]]. Yveltal's [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] has the power to transform [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the [[ultimate weapon]].<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Oblivion Wing|release a red beam that absorbs its target's energy}}, restoring its vitality as a result. Said attack can also burn the ground it hits in the process.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Pokémon Y | Legendary Pokémon!] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> Yveltal can crawl on the ground using its wings and talons, similar to a bat. It can also use its wings to propel itself back into the air. It will harm anyone who tries to take it, even while it's in its dormant, cocoon-like state. Yveltal is drawn to the life energy that's released or disturbed within the ecosystem, such as the [[Mega Power]] emitted by the [[Ange]] machine. According to research done by [[Mable]] of [[Team Flare]], Yveltal's ability to manipulate life is considered so mysterious that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref><br />
<br />
The relationship between Yveltal and Xerneas can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As shown in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', any living creatures drained by Yveltal will turn into petrified stone, though it is unknown whether this action is intentionally malicious or not. As depicted in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction,'' Yveltal can be very vengeful to anyone who disturbs its sleep and will seek to destroy it. Its counterpart Xerneas has the power to cure Yveltal's victims by filling them with life energy, but as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. Xerneas is also shown to be capable of calming down Yveltal should it get enraged. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Yveltal was shown making plants wither away by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "the one who takes" due to its ability to take life. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Y".<br />
<br />
Yveltal is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Oblivion Wing}} and the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Dark Aura}} as an [[Ability]].<br />

* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: {{mdc|Yveltal|smd}} is one of the main antagonists of the game. It first appears on [[Revelation Mountain]], turning the {{player}}, partner, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Entei}} to stone. Later, Yveltal and the other Pokémon possessed by [[Dark Matter]] attack the group again at the [[Road to Primeval Forest]]. Once freed from its possession, Yveltal feels deep regret for its actions, despite having been under the control of something else, and tries to make amends by attacking Dark Matter later on, only to be turned to stone itself.<br />

====Major appearances====<br />
=====[[Yveltal (M17)]]=====<br />
Yveltal debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It was first seen in a flashback destroying the [[Allearth Forest]] before transforming into a cocoon and slumbering. Years later, it reawakened and attempted to destroy the Allearth Forest again, turning [[Argus Steel|Argus]] and [[Millis Steel]], [[Merilyn]], [[Riot]], and [[Ash's Pikachu]] to stone in the process. It was then calmed by {{OBP|Xerneas|M17}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and flew away peacefully.<br />
<br />
=====Other=====<br />
Yveltal made its animated series debut in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where it unleashed trouble on a kingdom, turning people and Pokémon to stone such as [[Aila]]. Its attack prompted {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} to embark on a quest to find {{p|Xerneas}} and have it restore the land and Aila.<br />

Yveltal was later captured by [[Malva]], who revealed that it had been resting in the ground under the tree form Xerneas the entire time. In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', both Yveltal and Xerneas returned to their dormant states once again, choosing to do so in order to prevent [[Lysandre]] from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.<br />

<br />
===Concept and development===<br />
Yveltal, along with Xerneas, was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> The initial designs for the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were started by Sugimori, but he encountered "{{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}", having a hard time coming up with concepts. For the first time, he gave the work over to another designer, Ohmura, who furthered the designs before giving them back to Sugimori to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Its silhouette was modeled after the letter {{wp|Y}}.<ref>Iwata Asks - Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 English], [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/ekjj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref><br />

<br />
===Merchandise===<br />
Yveltal was featured as a rock-paper-scissors [[Poké Ball]] launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Yveltal is shaped like the letter Y. It resembles birds such as the {{wp|long-tailed widowbird}}, or {{wp|carrion}} birds such as {{wp|Carrion crow|crows}} and {{wp|vulture}}s.<br />
<br />
Yveltal may also be based on any number of avian-related figures from mythology, such as the Celtic death-goddess {{wp|Morrigan}}, which often takes the form of a raven; or Norse mythological figures such as {{wp|Hræsvelgr}}, which takes the form of an eagle and sits at the end of the world, or the hawk {{wp|Veðrfölnir and eagle|Veðrfölnir or the unnamed eagle}} that resides at the top of the world tree {{wp|Yggdrasil}}. Additionally, it bears a striking resemblance to a species of fungus known as "{{wp|Clathrus archeri|devil's fingers}}."<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Yveltal begins with the letter Y. It may be derived from ''{{wp|wiktionary:yvel|yvel}}'' (a {{wp|Middle English}} spelling of ''evil'') and ''{{wp|quetzal}}'' or ''{{wp|talon}}''.<br />

'''Xerneas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼルネアス''' ''Xerneas'') is a {{type|Fairy}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Xerneas has two [[#Form data|forms]], which change depending on its status. When Xerneas is in a {{pkmn|battle}} or a [[Pokémon Contest]], it is in '''Active Mode''' and its horns are multicolor; otherwise, it is in '''Neutral Mode''' and its horns are cyan.<br />
<br />
Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Yveltal}}, Xerneas was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon X}}, appearing on its boxart. Xerneas, {{p|Yveltal}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:716 Tree VI OD.png|thumb|185px|left|Xerneas's dormant form, the Tree of Life]]<br />
Xerneas is a quadrupedal, stag-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with four pairs of antlers. Its coloration varies slightly depending on whether it is in Active Mode or Neutral Mode. Regardless of mode, its main body is always black with a blue stripe down its back and a short, bushy tail. Starting at its knees there is a blade-like trim around each leg, which forms a point under each hoof. There is an upside-down, V-shaped marking on its chest in the same color as the trim on its legs. Its head and neck are blue, and there are two large, tufts that extend onto its chest and curve upward. Its first pair of antlers extends onto its head and curves around the underside of its eyes. The eyes are black with X-shaped pupils. There is a short marking on top of its snout and an upward curving horn on each side of its head in place of ears.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is said to represent life and rebirth. It has the power to share eternal life using its horns, which shine in seven colors. Xerneas can use its life energy to create vast forests and restore life to them. It can infuse both humans and Pokémon with energy and vitality. Notably, it can alter the rare [[Alpha Pokémon]] to enter a more powerful "Anomalous Alphas" state thanks to its life energy. According to [[Mable]], Xerneas can command an unlimited amount of life energy.<ref>[[Mable]]: "I mean, it has command of basically an unlimited pool of life energy!"'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> Because of this, she assumes that Xerneas could induce [[Rogue Mega Evolution]] in the presence of [[Mega Power]]. Xerneas is known to be drawn towards life energy being unleashed or affecting the ecosystem, such as the Mega Power emitted by [[Ange]]. It is highly respected by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] for its role in giving life. According to legend, Xerneas is known to have rescued wounded Pokémon during an ancient war. Both Xerneas and {{P|Yveltal}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Xerneas's power can also be used to power up machines such as the [[ultimate weapon]]. Its [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] can convert [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the ultimate weapon.<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Geomancy|absorb the energy around itself}} to strengthen itself through rainbow-colored lights.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ | Legendary Pokémon | X and Y (Archived)]</ref> According to research done by Mable, Xerneas's ability to affect life is mysterious to the point that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref><br />
<br />
The relationship between Xerneas and Yveltal can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As seen in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'', if it exhausts too much life energy, it transforms into a tree and sleeps for 1,000 years. It was also shown capable of calming Yveltal should it get enraged. Xerneas has the power to revive those who have been petrified by Yveltal. However, as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. As shown in In the Pokémon Adventures manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, Xerneas can [[Talking Pokémon|speak human language]] through telepathy. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Xerneas was shown making plants grow by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "The one who gives" due to its ability to give life. In Pokémon Adventures and in ''Pokémon the Series'', it has been referred to as "X".<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Geomancy}}. Prior to [[Generation IX]], it was also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an [[Ability]].<br />
<br />
===Forms===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Active Mode and Neutral Mode.<br />
<br />
====Active Mode====<br />
In Active Mode, its markings, antlers, and trim on its legs are pale gold. Its antlers have branches and bumps in many colors and there are multicolored spots on its back. Xerneas assumes this Mode during battle or when using its power. Xerneas is at full power when in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
====Neutral Mode====<br />
In Neutral Mode, its markings and antlers are instead pale blue and the embellishments on its antlers and spots on its back are a darker blue. Xerneas assumes Neutral Mode when not battling and traveling. This remains until it needs to use Active Mode.<br />

<br />
===Form data===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Neutral Mode and Active Mode. There is no gameplay difference between them; Xerneas appears in Active Mode in {{pkmn|battle}}s and [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]] (as well as its [[summary]] screen in the mobile version of [[Pokémon HOME]]) and appears in Neutral Mode in other situations, such as in cutscenes, the [[party]] and summary screens, the [[Pokémon Storage System]], [[Pokémon-Amie]], [[Pokémon Refresh]], [[Pokémon Camp]], and as a [[walking Pokémon]]. According to the [[Pokédex]], Xerneas shares everlasting life while it is in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and {{g|GO}}, Xerneas does not have distinct forms programmed in. Instead, it assumes the appearance of its Active Form in battle[[Pokémon GO|<sup>'''{{color|{{GO color}}|GO}}'''</sup>]]/during its attacking animations{{sup/9|ZA}} in a similar manner to other [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Form-like_transformations|form-like transformations]] and appears to be in Neutral Mode otherwise.<br />
<br />
Xerneas's horns and some highlights in its fur are light blue in Neutral Mode and light gold in Active Mode. In Active Mode, it grows protrusions on its horns and the spots on its back light up in several different colors.<br />

===Main series===<br />
====Major appearances====<br />
=====[[Xerneas (M17)]]=====<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It granted {{an|Diancie}} its {{a|Fairy Aura}}, which Diancie spent the entire {{pkmn|movie}} looking for. Later, it calmed down the awakened {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restored everything that Yveltal petrified. As a result, Xerneas transformed into a tree.<br />
<br />
=====Other=====<br />
Xerneas made its animated series debut as a silhouette in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]''. However, its antlers could clearly be seen. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY042|Battling into the Hall of Fame!]]''.<br />
<br />
A Xerneas appeared in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} asked for its help after {{p|Yveltal}} caused trouble upon his kingdom, including turning [[Aila]] to stone. Though it restored much of the damage Yveltal inflicted, it could not revive Aila, and thus left.<br />
<br />
====Minor appearances====<br />
A silhouetted Xerneas appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN053|Healing the Healer!]]''.<br />
<br />
===GOTCHA!===<br />
[[File:Calem Xerneas Evolutions.png|thumb|left|250px|Xerneas in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]<br />
A Xerneas briefly appeared as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Evolutions===<br />
A Xerneas appeared in ''[[PE03|The Visionary]]'', under the ownership of {{ga|Calem}}. He used it during a battle against [[Lysandre]], quickly defeating his {{me|Gyarados}}.<br />

===Movie adaptations===<br />
{{main|Xerneas (M17)}}<br />
Xerneas appears in the {{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction|manga adaptation}} of the first {{aniseries|XY}} {{pkmn|movie}}, ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.<br />
<br />
===Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!===<br />
[[Manabu Kadoo|Manabu]] used a Xerneas in Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!.<br />
<br />
===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===<br />
A Xerneas appeared in [[LDK1]].<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Xerxer}}<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', alongside Yveltal. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant tree and cocoon states, which were sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. Later Xerneas awakened and took back most of the energy that had been absorbed from it. Afterwards, it was befriended and caught by {{adv|Y}}, who [[nickname]]d it Xerxer. When [[Malva]] arrived and revealed that she had captured Yveltal, the two nearly clashed again before [[Xerosic]] stopped them, stating that [[Lysandre]] ordered a ceasefire, as the powers of the two would cause an endless war. Xerxer agreed with this and escaped carrying Y and her friends. During the final battle against Team Flare, Xerxer and Yveltal clashed again, and eventually chose to return to their dormant states in order to prevent Lysandre from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.<br />

[[File:Xerneas SSB4.png|220px|thumb|Xerneas in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]]]<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===<br />
Xerneas appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} Pokémon. In the 3DS version, it is unlocked after playing {{sbw|Target Blast}} at least once, while in the Wii U version, it is unlocked by breaking at least 200 blocks in a solo game of {{sbw|Trophy Rush}} as {{SSB|Pikachu}}. When released, it uses {{m|Geomancy}} to energize nearby fighters, giving their attacks stronger knockback for a time or giving them stronger defenses. Xerneas also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.<br />
<br />
====Trophy information====<br />
'''NA''':''The horns on Xerneas's head give this {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} the power to bestow eternal life. It emanates energy with a move called Geomancy that causes all the fighters to glow. As pretty as it is, this makes everyone more easily launchable. Know when to take advantage and when to lay low.''<br />
<br />
'''PAL''': ''The horns on Xerneas's head give this Pokémon the power to bestow eternal life. When summoned in a match, energy will emanate from it and make all fighters glow. Pretty it may be, but this Geomancy move makes everyone much easier to launch. Knowing that, will you take advantage of the situation, or try to stay out of the way? ''<br />
<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===<br />
Xerneas returns as a Poké Ball summon, but it seems to only affect the summoner, who is turned {{sbw|Gold Fighter|golden}}. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Xerneas has the same stat distribution as {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />
* Xerneas has several unique distinctions:<br />
** It is the only single-type [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]] (not counting [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}}).<br />
** It is the only [[game mascot]] whose [[signature move]] is a [[status move]].<br />
** As of {{g|Champions}}, it is the only Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] to have a former [[signature Ability]], since {{me|Floette}} can now have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an Ability.<br />
** In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, if it is in [[Pokémon Camp]], it will not play with the [[Poké Toy]] when the player shakes it, instead reacting negatively to it. It is the only Pokémon with this trait.<br />
* Xerneas is tied with {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Weezing}} for being the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} (excluding {{p|Arceus}}'s Fairy-type [[form]]).<br />
* When a {{Shiny}} Xerneas is obtained by event, its model on the [[Mystery Gift]] screen is incomplete. It appears in its Active Mode, except the multicolored additions to its horns are either missing or the same blue color as on its neck.<br />
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Xerneas's Neutral Mode has no special animations that play in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation VI|Hoenn Pokédex]]; however, it plays Active Mode's attack animations if tapped in the [[summary]] screen.<br />
* In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Xerneas will not react if whistled at as a [[walking Pokémon]] in the [[Isle of Armor]] or the [[Crown Tundra]]. It shares this distinction with the fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}.<br />
* Xerneas and Yveltal are the only game mascots who are unobtainable through [[transfer]]ring in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.<br />
<br />
===Concept and development===<br />
Xerneas, along with {{p|Yveltal}}, was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> The initial designs for the two Legendary Pokémon were started by Sugimori, but he encountered "{{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}". For the first time, he handed the work over to another designer, Ohmura, who furthered the designs, after which Sugimori returned to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Its silhouette was modeled after the letter {{wp|X}}.<ref>Iwata Asks - Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 English], [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/ekjj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref><br />

<br />
===Merchandise===<br />
Xerneas was featured as a rock-paper-scissors [[Poké Ball]] launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Xerneas is shaped like the letter X. By extension, it may also resemble the {{wp|saltire}} symbol in heraldry or the {{wp|X mark}}. Xerneas resembles a cervid, more specifically the extinct species {{wp|Eucladoceros}}.<br />
<br />
Xerneas may also be based on {{wp|Eikþyrnir}} and the four stags {{wp|Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór}} of {{wp|Norse mythology}}. Eikþyrnir resides in {{wp|Valhalla}} eating the foliage of {{wp|Læraðr}} with glowing horns that drip with dew. According to the ''{{wp|Poetic Edda}}'', the four stags resided in the trunk of the World Tree, {{wp|Yggdrasil}}, and ate its branches and fresh shoots. Alternatively, Xerneas may be based on {{wp|Cernunnos}} of {{wp|Celtic mythology}}, a life-giving deity known as the "horned god" and associated with antlers.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Xerneas begins with the letter X. It may be derived from ''cervus'' (Latin for "deer"), ''{{wp|Cernunnos}}'' (a horned Celtic god), ''{{wp|Ceryneian Hind}}'', and アース ''āsu'' (earth).<br />

'''Yveltal''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イベルタル''' ''Yveltal'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].<br />
<br />
It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Xerneas}}, Yveltal was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.<br />
<br />
Yveltal is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon Y}}, appearing on its boxart. Yveltal, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:717 Cocoon VI OD.png|thumb|left|185px|Yveltal's dormant form, the Cocoon of Destruction]]<br />
Yveltal is a large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with both avian and draconic traits. The back of its body is black with white spots along the wings and back; its front, head, and neck are bright red with branching, black lines throughout. It has a pointed, beak-like snout, bright blue eyes, a black, forward-curving horn over each eye, and a thin, antenna-like growth behind each eye. A feathery gray ruff encircles its neck and billows out over its back. Yveltal's wings each have three spikes along the bottom edge near the body and five large, black claws on the tip. It has small, birdlike legs with gray talons. Each foot has two toes facing forward and one pointing backward. Its tail is similar in structure to its wings, including the five claws on the tip.<br />
[[File:Yveltal ZA.png|250px|thumb|right|Yveltal walking on the ground.]]<br />
Yveltal is said to represent destruction and death. It has the power to absorb life energy by spreading its wings and tailfeathers; according to legend, it does this in order to power up its own energy. It is highly feared by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] because of this. Yveltal is known to appear during a conflict, draining the life energy of any person or Pokémon that it encounters. Upon reaching the end of its lifespan, Yveltal steals the life energy of everything around it, then encases itself in a cocoon and falls into a deep slumber. Both Yveltal and {{p|Xerneas}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Yveltal's power can be used to power up machines, as seen with the [[ultimate weapon]]. Yveltal's [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] has the power to transform [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the [[ultimate weapon]].<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Oblivion Wing|release a red beam that absorbs its target's energy}}, restoring its vitality as a result. Said attack can also burn the ground it hits in the process.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Pokémon Y | Legendary Pokémon!] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> Yveltal can crawl on the ground using its wings and talons, similar to a bat. It can also use its wings to propel itself back into the air. It will harm anyone who tries to take it, even while it's in its dormant, cocoon-like state. Yveltal is drawn to the life energy that's released or disturbed within the ecosystem, such as the [[Mega Power]] emitted by the [[Ange]] machine. According to research done by [[Mable]] of [[Team Flare]], Yveltal's ability to manipulate life is considered so mysterious that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref><br />
<br />
The relationship between Yveltal and Xerneas can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As shown in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', any living creatures drained by Yveltal will turn into petrified stone, though it is unknown whether this action is intentionally malicious or not. As depicted in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction,'' Yveltal can be very vengeful to anyone who disturbs its sleep and will seek to destroy it. Its counterpart Xerneas has the power to cure Yveltal's victims by filling them with life energy, but as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. Xerneas is also shown to be capable of calming down Yveltal should it get enraged. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Yveltal was shown making plants wither away by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "the one who takes" due to its ability to take life. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Y".<br />
<br />
Yveltal is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Oblivion Wing}} and the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Dark Aura}} as an [[Ability]].<br />

===NPC appearances===<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: {{mdc|Yveltal|smd}} is one of the main antagonists of the game. It first appears on [[Revelation Mountain]], turning the {{player}}, partner, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Entei}} to stone. Later, Yveltal and the other Pokémon possessed by [[Dark Matter]] attack the group again at the [[Road to Primeval Forest]]. Once freed from its possession, Yveltal feels deep regret for its actions, despite having been under the control of something else, and tries to make amends by attacking Dark Matter later on, only to be turned to stone itself.<br />

====Major appearances====<br />
=====[[Yveltal (M17)]]=====<br />
Yveltal debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It was first seen in a flashback destroying the [[Allearth Forest]] before transforming into a cocoon and slumbering. Years later, it reawakened and attempted to destroy the Allearth Forest again, turning [[Argus Steel|Argus]] and [[Millis Steel]], [[Merilyn]], [[Riot]], and [[Ash's Pikachu]] to stone in the process. It was then calmed by {{OBP|Xerneas|M17}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and flew away peacefully.<br />
<br />
=====Other=====<br />
Yveltal made its animated series debut in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where it unleashed trouble on a kingdom, turning people and Pokémon to stone such as [[Aila]]. Its attack prompted {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} to embark on a quest to find {{p|Xerneas}} and have it restore the land and Aila.<br />

Yveltal was later captured by [[Malva]], who revealed that it had been resting in the ground under the tree form Xerneas the entire time. In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', both Yveltal and Xerneas returned to their dormant states once again, choosing to do so in order to prevent [[Lysandre]] from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.<br />

<br />
===Concept and development===<br />
Yveltal, along with Xerneas, was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> The initial designs for the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were started by Sugimori, but he encountered "{{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}", having a hard time coming up with concepts. For the first time, he gave the work over to another designer, Ohmura. Ohmura furthered the designs, after which Sugimori resumed to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Its silhouette was modeled after the letter {{wp|Y}}.<ref>Iwata Asks - Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 English], [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/ekjj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref><br />

<br />
===Merchandise===<br />
Yveltal was featured as a rock-paper-scissors [[Poké Ball]] launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Yveltal is shaped like the letter Y. It resembles birds such as the {{wp|long-tailed widowbird}}, or {{wp|carrion}} birds such as {{wp|Carrion crow|crows}} and {{wp|vulture}}s.<br />
<br />
Yveltal may also be based on any number of avian-related figures from mythology, such as the Celtic death-goddess {{wp|Morrigan}}, which often takes the form of a raven; or Norse mythological figures such as {{wp|Hræsvelgr}}, which takes the form of an eagle and sits at the end of the world, or the hawk {{wp|Veðrfölnir and eagle|Veðrfölnir or the unnamed eagle}} that resides at the top of the world tree {{wp|Yggdrasil}}. Additionally, it bears a striking resemblance to a species of fungus known as "{{wp|Clathrus archeri|devil's fingers}}."<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Yveltal begins with the letter Y. It may be derived from ''{{wp|wiktionary:yvel|yvel}}'' (a {{wp|Middle English}} spelling of ''evil'') and ''{{wp|quetzal}}'' or ''{{wp|talon}}''.<br />

'''Xerneas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼルネアス''' ''Xerneas'') is a {{type|Fairy}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Xerneas has two [[#Form data|forms]], which change depending on its status. When Xerneas is in a {{pkmn|battle}} or a [[Pokémon Contest]], it is in '''Active Mode''' and its horns are multicolor; otherwise, it is in '''Neutral Mode''' and its horns are cyan.<br />
<br />
Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Yveltal}}, Xerneas was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon X}}, appearing on its boxart. Xerneas, {{p|Yveltal}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:716 Tree VI OD.png|thumb|185px|left|Xerneas's dormant form, the Tree of Life]]<br />
Xerneas is a quadrupedal, stag-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with four pairs of antlers. Its coloration varies slightly depending on whether it is in Active Mode or Neutral Mode. Regardless of mode, its main body is always black with a blue stripe down its back and a short, bushy tail. Starting at its knees there is a blade-like trim around each leg, which forms a point under each hoof. There is an upside-down, V-shaped marking on its chest in the same color as the trim on its legs. Its head and neck are blue, and there are two large, tufts that extend onto its chest and curve upward. Its first pair of antlers extends onto its head and curves around the underside of its eyes. The eyes are black with X-shaped pupils. There is a short marking on top of its snout and an upward curving horn on each side of its head in place of ears.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is said to represent life and rebirth. It has the power to share eternal life using its horns, which shine in seven colors. Xerneas can use its life energy to create vast forests and restore life to them. It can infuse both humans and Pokémon with energy and vitality. Notably, it can alter the rare [[Alpha Pokémon]] to enter a more powerful "Anomalous Alphas" state thanks to its life energy. According to [[Mable]], Xerneas can command an unlimited amount of life energy.<ref>[[Mable]]: "I mean, it has command of basically an unlimited pool of life energy!"'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> Because of this, she assumes that Xerneas could induce [[Rogue Mega Evolution]] in the presence of [[Mega Power]]. Xerneas is known to be drawn towards life energy being unleashed or affecting the ecosystem, such as the Mega Power emitted by [[Ange]]. It is highly respected by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] for its role in giving life. According to legend, Xerneas is known to have rescued wounded Pokémon during an ancient war. Both Xerneas and {{P|Yveltal}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Xerneas's power can also be used to power up machines such as the [[ultimate weapon]]. Its [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] can convert [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the ultimate weapon.<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Geomancy|absorb the energy around itself}} to strengthen itself through rainbow-colored lights.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ | Legendary Pokémon | X and Y (Archived)]</ref> According to research done by Mable, Xerneas's ability to affect life is mysterious to the point that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref><br />
<br />
The relationship between Xerneas and Yveltal can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As seen in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'', if it exhausts too much life energy, it transforms into a tree and sleeps for 1,000 years. It was also shown capable of calming Yveltal should it get enraged. Xerneas has the power to revive those who have been petrified by Yveltal. However, as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. As shown in In the Pokémon Adventures manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, Xerneas can [[Talking Pokémon|speak human language]] through telepathy. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Xerneas was shown making plants grow by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "The one who gives" due to its ability to give life. In Pokémon Adventures and in ''Pokémon the Series'', it has been referred to as "X".<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Geomancy}}. Prior to [[Generation IX]], it was also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an [[Ability]].<br />
<br />
===Forms===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Active Mode and Neutral Mode.<br />
<br />
====Active Mode====<br />
In Active Mode, its markings, antlers, and trim on its legs are pale gold. Its antlers have branches and bumps in many colors and there are multicolored spots on its back. Xerneas assumes this Mode during battle or when using its power. Xerneas is at full power when in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
====Neutral Mode====<br />
In Neutral Mode, its markings and antlers are instead pale blue and the embellishments on its antlers and spots on its back are a darker blue. Xerneas assumes Neutral Mode when not battling and traveling. This remains until it needs to use Active Mode.<br />

}}<br />

<br />
===Form data===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Neutral Mode and Active Mode. There is no gameplay difference between them; Xerneas appears in Active Mode in {{pkmn|battle}}s and [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]] (as well as its [[summary]] screen in the mobile version of [[Pokémon HOME]]) and appears in Neutral Mode in other situations, such as in cutscenes, the [[party]] and summary screens, the [[Pokémon Storage System]], [[Pokémon-Amie]], [[Pokémon Refresh]], [[Pokémon Camp]], and as a [[walking Pokémon]]. According to the [[Pokédex]], Xerneas shares everlasting life while it is in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and {{g|GO}}, Xerneas does not have distinct forms programmed in. Instead, it assumes the appearance of its Active Form in battle[[Pokémon GO|<sup>'''{{color|{{GO color}}|GO}}'''</sup>]]/during its attacking animations{{sup/9|ZA}} in a similar manner to other [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Form-like_transformations|form-like transformations]] and appears to be in Neutral Mode otherwise.<br />
<br />
Xerneas's horns and some highlights in its fur are light blue in Neutral Mode and light gold in Active Mode. In Active Mode, it grows protrusions on its horns and the spots on its back light up in several different colors.<br />

===Main series===<br />
====Major appearances====<br />
=====[[Xerneas (M17)]]=====<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It granted {{an|Diancie}} its {{a|Fairy Aura}}, which Diancie spent the entire {{pkmn|movie}} looking for. Later, it calmed down the awakened {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restored everything that Yveltal petrified. As a result, Xerneas transformed into a tree.<br />
<br />
=====Other=====<br />
Xerneas made its animated series debut as a silhouette in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]''. However, its antlers could clearly be seen. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY042|Battling into the Hall of Fame!]]''.<br />
<br />
A Xerneas appeared in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} asked for its help after {{p|Yveltal}} caused trouble upon his kingdom, including turning [[Aila]] to stone. Though it restored much of the damage Yveltal inflicted, it could not revive Aila, and thus left.<br />
<br />
====Minor appearances====<br />
A silhouetted Xerneas appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN053|Healing the Healer!]]''.<br />
<br />
===GOTCHA!===<br />
[[File:Calem Xerneas Evolutions.png|thumb|left|250px|Xerneas in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]<br />
A Xerneas briefly appeared as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Evolutions===<br />
A Xerneas appeared in ''[[PE03|The Visionary]]'', under the ownership of {{ga|Calem}}. He used it during a battle against [[Lysandre]], quickly defeating his {{me|Gyarados}}.<br />

{{main|Xerneas (M17)}}<br />
Xerneas appears in the {{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction|manga adaptation}} of the first {{aniseries|XY}} {{pkmn|movie}}, ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.<br />
<br />
===Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!===<br />
[[Manabu Kadoo|Manabu]] used a Xerneas in Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!.<br />
<br />
===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===<br />
A Xerneas appeared in [[LDK1]].<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Xerxer}}<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', alongside Yveltal. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant tree and cocoon states, which were sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. Later Xerneas awakened and took back most of the energy that had been absorbed from it. Afterwards, it was befriended and caught by {{adv|Y}}, who [[nickname]]d it Xerxer. When [[Malva]] arrived and revealed that she had captured Yveltal, the two nearly clashed again before [[Xerosic]] stopped them, stating that [[Lysandre]] ordered a ceasefire, as the powers of the two would cause an endless war. Xerxer agreed with this and escaped carrying Y and her friends. During the final battle against Team Flare, Xerxer and Yveltal clashed again, and eventually chose to return to their dormant states in order to prevent Lysandre from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.<br />

[[File:Xerneas SSB4.png|220px|thumb|Xerneas in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]]]<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===<br />
Xerneas appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} Pokémon. In the 3DS version, it is unlocked after playing {{sbw|Target Blast}} at least once, while in the Wii U version, it is unlocked by breaking at least 200 blocks in a solo game of {{sbw|Trophy Rush}} as {{SSB|Pikachu}}. When released, it uses {{m|Geomancy}} to energize nearby fighters, giving their attacks stronger knockback for a time or giving them stronger defenses. Xerneas also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.<br />
<br />
====Trophy information====<br />
'''NA''':''The horns on Xerneas's head give this {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} the power to bestow eternal life. It emanates energy with a move called Geomancy that causes all the fighters to glow. As pretty as it is, this makes everyone more easily launchable. Know when to take advantage and when to lay low.''<br />
<br />
'''PAL''': ''The horns on Xerneas's head give this Pokémon the power to bestow eternal life. When summoned in a match, energy will emanate from it and make all fighters glow. Pretty it may be, but this Geomancy move makes everyone much easier to launch. Knowing that, will you take advantage of the situation, or try to stay out of the way? ''<br />
<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===<br />
Xerneas returns as a Poké Ball summon, but it seems to only affect the summoner, who is turned {{sbw|Gold Fighter|golden}}. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Xerneas has the same stat distribution as {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />
* Xerneas has several unique distinctions:<br />
** It is the only single-type [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]] (not counting [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}}).<br />
** It is the only [[game mascot]] whose [[signature move]] is a [[status move]].<br />
** As of {{g|Champions}}, it is the only Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] to have a former [[signature Ability]], since {{me|Floette}} can now have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an Ability.<br />
** In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, if it is in [[Pokémon Camp]], it will not play with the [[Poké Toy]] when the player shakes it, instead reacting negatively to it. It is the only Pokémon with this trait.<br />
* Xerneas is tied with {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Weezing}} for being the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} (excluding {{p|Arceus}}'s Fairy-type [[form]]).<br />
* When a {{Shiny}} Xerneas is obtained by event, its model on the [[Mystery Gift]] screen is incomplete. It appears in its Active Mode, except the multicolored additions to its horns are either missing or the same blue color as on its neck.<br />
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Xerneas's Neutral Mode has no special animations that play in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation VI|Hoenn Pokédex]]; however, it plays Active Mode's attack animations if tapped in the [[summary]] screen.<br />
* In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Xerneas will not react if whistled at as a [[walking Pokémon]] in the [[Isle of Armor]] or the [[Crown Tundra]]. It shares this distinction with the fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}.<br />
* Xerneas and Yveltal are the only game mascots who are unobtainable through [[transfer]]ring in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.<br />
<br />
===Concept and development===<br />
Xerneas, along with {{p|Yveltal}}, was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> The initial designs for the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were started by Sugimori, but he encountered "{{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}". For the first time, he handed the work over to another designer, Ohmura, who furthered the designs, after which Sugimori returned to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Its silhouette was modeled after the letter {{wp|X}}.<ref>Iwata Asks - Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 English], [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/ekjj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref><br />

<br />
===Merchandise===<br />
Xerneas was featured as a rock-paper-scissors [[Poké Ball]] launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Xerneas is shaped like the letter X. By extension, it may also resemble the {{wp|saltire}} symbol in heraldry or the {{wp|X mark}}. Xerneas resembles a cervid, more specifically the extinct species {{wp|Eucladoceros}}.<br />
<br />
Xerneas may also be based on {{wp|Eikþyrnir}} and the four stags {{wp|Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór}} of {{wp|Norse mythology}}. Eikþyrnir resides in {{wp|Valhalla}} eating the foliage of {{wp|Læraðr}} with glowing horns that drip with dew. According to the ''{{wp|Poetic Edda}}'', the four stags resided in the trunk of the World Tree, {{wp|Yggdrasil}}, and ate its branches and fresh shoots. Alternatively, Xerneas may be based on {{wp|Cernunnos}} of {{wp|Celtic mythology}}, a life-giving deity known as the "horned god" and associated with antlers.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Xerneas begins with the letter X. It may be derived from ''cervus'' (Latin for "deer"), ''{{wp|Cernunnos}}'' (a horned Celtic god), ''{{wp|Ceryneian Hind}}'', and アース ''āsu'' (earth).<br />

'''Xerneas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼルネアス''' ''Xerneas'') is a {{type|Fairy}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Xerneas has two [[#Form data|forms]], which change depending on its status. When Xerneas is in a {{pkmn|battle}} or a [[Pokémon Contest]], it is in '''Active Mode''' and its horns are multicolor; otherwise, it is in '''Neutral Mode''' and its horns are cyan.<br />
<br />
Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Yveltal}}, Xerneas was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon X}}, appearing on its boxart. Xerneas, {{p|Yveltal}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:716 Tree VI OD.png|thumb|185px|left|Xerneas's dormant form, the Tree of Life]]<br />
Xerneas is a quadrupedal, stag-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with four pairs of antlers. Its coloration varies slightly depending on whether it is in Active Mode or Neutral Mode. Regardless of mode, its main body is always black with a blue stripe down its back and a short, bushy tail. Starting at its knees there is a blade-like trim around each leg, which forms a point under each hoof. There is an upside-down, V-shaped marking on its chest in the same color as the trim on its legs. Its head and neck are blue, and there are two large, tufts that extend onto its chest and curve upward. Its first pair of antlers extends onto its head and curves around the underside of its eyes. The eyes are black with X-shaped pupils. There is a short marking on top of its snout and an upward curving horn on each side of its head in place of ears.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is said to represent life and rebirth. It has the power to share eternal life using its horns, which shine in seven colors. Xerneas can use its life energy to create vast forests and restore life to them. It can infuse both humans and Pokémon with energy and vitality. Notably, it can alter the rare [[Alpha Pokémon]] to enter a more powerful "Anomalous Alphas" state thanks to its life energy. According to [[Mable]], Xerneas can command an unlimited amount of life energy.<ref>[[Mable]]: "I mean, it has command of basically an unlimited pool of life energy!"'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> Because of this, she assumes that Xerneas could induce [[Rogue Mega Evolution]] in the presence of [[Mega Power]]. Xerneas is known to be drawn towards life energy being unleashed or affecting the ecosystem, such as the Mega Power emitted by [[Ange]]. It is highly respected by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] for its role in giving life. According to legend, Xerneas is known to have rescued wounded Pokémon during an ancient war. Both Xerneas and {{P|Yveltal}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Xerneas's power can also be used to power up machines such as the [[ultimate weapon]]. Its [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] can convert [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the ultimate weapon.<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Geomancy|absorb the energy around itself}} to strengthen itself through rainbow-colored lights.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ | Legendary Pokémon | X and Y (Archived)]</ref> According to research done by Mable, Xerneas's ability to affect life is mysterious to the point that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref><br />
<br />
The relationship between Xerneas and Yveltal can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As seen in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'', if it exhausts too much life energy, it transforms into a tree and sleeps for 1,000 years. It was also shown capable of calming Yveltal should it get enraged. Xerneas has the power to revive those who have been petrified by Yveltal. However, as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. As shown in In the Pokémon Adventures manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, Xerneas can [[Talking Pokémon|speak human language]] through telepathy. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Xerneas was shown making plants grow by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "The one who gives" due to its ability to give life. In Pokémon Adventures and in ''Pokémon the Series'', it has been referred to as "X".<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Geomancy}}. Prior to [[Generation IX]], it was also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an [[Ability]].<br />
<br />
===Forms===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Active Mode and Neutral Mode.<br />
<br />
====Active Mode====<br />
In Active Mode, its markings, antlers, and trim on its legs are pale gold. Its antlers have branches and bumps in many colors and there are multicolored spots on its back. Xerneas assumes this Mode during battle or when using its power. Xerneas is at full power when in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
====Neutral Mode====<br />
In Neutral Mode, its markings and antlers are instead pale blue and the embellishments on its antlers and spots on its back are a darker blue. Xerneas assumes Neutral Mode when not battling and traveling. This remains until it needs to use Active Mode.<br />

===NPC appearances===<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
* [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]: Xerneas is the embodiment of the [[Tree of Life]], first appearing after [[Dark Matter]] has been stopped near the end of the main game. After the epilogue story has been completed, the {{player}} can visit Xerneas at the Tree of Life to [[Evolution|evolve]] a Pokémon of their choosing.<br />
* [[New Pokémon Snap]]: Xerneas is one of the [[Illumina phenomenon|Illumina Pokémon]], a group of Pokémon saved the [[Lental]] [[region]] from the [[Tellur Meteorite]] 2000 years ago. It is also believed to be the originator of the Illumina phenomenon and the very first Illumina Pokémon. It resides in the {{DL|Ruins of Remembrance|Aurus Island Illumina Spot}}.<br />

<br />
===Form data===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Neutral Mode and Active Mode. There is no gameplay difference between them; Xerneas appears in Active Mode in {{pkmn|battle}}s and [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]] (as well as its [[summary]] screen in the mobile version of [[Pokémon HOME]]) and appears in Neutral Mode in other situations, such as in cutscenes, the [[party]] and summary screens, the [[Pokémon Storage System]], [[Pokémon-Amie]], [[Pokémon Refresh]], [[Pokémon Camp]], and as a [[walking Pokémon]]. According to the [[Pokédex]], Xerneas shares everlasting life while it is in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and {{g|GO}}, Xerneas does not have distinct forms programmed in. Instead, it assumes the appearance of its Active Form in battle[[Pokémon GO|<sup>'''{{color|{{GO color}}|GO}}'''</sup>]]/during its attacking animations{{sup/9|ZA}} in a similar manner to other [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Form-like_transformations|form-like transformations]] and appears to be in Neutral Mode otherwise.<br />
<br />
Xerneas's horns and some highlights in its fur are light blue in Neutral Mode and light gold in Active Mode. In Active Mode, it grows protrusions on its horns and the spots on its back light up in several different colors.<br />

===Main series===<br />
====Major appearances====<br />
=====[[Xerneas (M17)]]=====<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It granted {{an|Diancie}} its {{a|Fairy Aura}}, which Diancie spent the entire {{pkmn|movie}} looking for. Later, it calmed down the awakened {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restored everything that Yveltal petrified. As a result, Xerneas transformed into a tree.<br />
<br />
=====Other=====<br />
Xerneas made its animated series debut as a silhouette in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]''. However, its antlers could clearly be seen. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY042|Battling into the Hall of Fame!]]''.<br />
<br />
A Xerneas appeared in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} asked for its help after {{p|Yveltal}} caused trouble upon his kingdom, including turning [[Aila]] to stone. Though it restored much of the damage Yveltal inflicted, it could not revive Aila, and thus left.<br />
<br />
====Minor appearances====<br />
A silhouetted Xerneas appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN053|Healing the Healer!]]''.<br />
<br />
===GOTCHA!===<br />

<br />
===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Xerxer}}<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', alongside Yveltal. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant tree and cocoon states, which were sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. Later Xerneas awakened and took back most of the energy that had been absorbed from it. Afterwards, it was befriended and caught by {{adv|Y}}, who [[nickname]]d it Xerxer. When [[Malva]] arrived and revealed that she had captured Yveltal, the two nearly clashed again before [[Xerosic]] stopped them, stating that [[Lysandre]] ordered a ceasefire, as the powers of the two would cause an endless war. Xerxer agreed with this and escaped carrying Y and her friends. During the final battle against Team Flare, Xerxer and Yveltal clashed again, and eventually chose to return to their dormant states in order to prevent Lysandre from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.<br />

[[File:Xerneas SSB4.png|220px|thumb|Xerneas in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]]]<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===<br />
Xerneas appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} Pokémon. In the 3DS version, it is unlocked after playing {{sbw|Target Blast}} at least once, while in the Wii U version, it is unlocked by breaking at least 200 blocks in a solo game of {{sbw|Trophy Rush}} as {{SSB|Pikachu}}. When released, it uses {{m|Geomancy}} to energize nearby fighters, giving their attacks stronger knockback for a time or giving them stronger defenses. Xerneas also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.<br />
<br />
====Trophy information====<br />
'''NA''':''The horns on Xerneas's head give this {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} the power to bestow eternal life. It emanates energy with a move called Geomancy that causes all the fighters to glow. As pretty as it is, this makes everyone more easily launchable. Know when to take advantage and when to lay low.''<br />
<br />
'''PAL''': ''The horns on Xerneas's head give this Pokémon the power to bestow eternal life. When summoned in a match, energy will emanate from it and make all fighters glow. Pretty it may be, but this Geomancy move makes everyone much easier to launch. Knowing that, will you take advantage of the situation, or try to stay out of the way? ''<br />
<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===<br />
Xerneas returns as a Poké Ball summon, but it seems to only affect the summoner, who is turned {{sbw|Gold Fighter|golden}}. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Xerneas has the same stat distribution as {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />
* Xerneas has several unique distinctions:<br />
** It is the only single-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] (not counting [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}}).<br />
** It is the only [[game mascot]] whose [[signature move]] is a [[status move]].<br />
** As of {{g|Champions}}, it is the only Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] to have a former [[signature Ability]], since {{me|Floette}} can now have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an Ability.<br />
** In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, if it is in [[Pokémon Camp]], it will not play with the [[Poké Toy]] when the player shakes it, instead reacting negatively to it. It is the only Pokémon with this trait.<br />
* Xerneas is tied with {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Weezing}} as the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon (excluding {{p|Arceus}}'s Fairy-type form).<br />
* When a {{Shiny}} Xerneas is obtained by event, its model on the Mystery Gift screen is incomplete. It appears in its Active Mode, except the multicolored additions to its horns are either missing or the same blue color as on its neck.<br />
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Xerneas's Neutral Mode has no special animations that play in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation VI|Hoenn Pokédex]]; however, it plays Active Mode's attack animations if tapped in the [[summary]] screen.<br />
* In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Xerneas will not react if whistled at as a [[walking Pokémon]] in the [[Isle of Armor]] or the [[Crown Tundra]]. It shares this distinction with the fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}.<br />
* Xerneas, along with Yveltal, are the only game mascots to be unobtainable through [[transfer]]ring in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.<br />
<br />
===Concept and development===<br />
Xerneas, along with {{p|Yveltal}}, was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> The initial designs for the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were started by Sugimori, but he encountered "{{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}". For the first time, he handed the work over to another designer, Ohmura, who furthered the designs, after which Sugimori returned to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Its silhouette was modeled after the letter {{wp|X}}.<ref>Iwata Asks - Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 English], [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/ekjj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref><br />

<br />
===Merchandise===<br />
Xerneas was featured as a rock-paper-scissors [[Poké Ball]] launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Xerneas is shaped like the letter X. By extension, it may also resemble the {{wp|saltire}} symbol in heraldry or the {{wp|X mark}}. Xerneas resembles a cervid, more specifically the extinct species {{wp|Eucladoceros}}.<br />
<br />
Xerneas may also be based on {{wp|Eikþyrnir}} and the four stags {{wp|Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór}} of {{wp|Norse mythology}}. Eikþyrnir resides in {{wp|Valhalla}} eating the foliage of {{wp|Læraðr}} with glowing horns that drip with dew. According to the ''{{wp|Poetic Edda}}'', the four stags resided in the trunk of the World Tree, {{wp|Yggdrasil}}, and ate its branches and fresh shoots. Alternatively, Xerneas may be based on {{wp|Cernunnos}} of {{wp|Celtic mythology}}, a life-giving deity known as the "horned god" and associated with antlers.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Xerneas begins with the letter {{wp|X}}. It may be derived from ''cervus'' (Latin for "deer"), ''{{wp|Cernunnos}}'' (a horned Celtic god), ''{{wp|Ceryneian Hind}}'', and アース ''āsu'' (earth).<br />

'''Yveltal''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イベルタル''' ''Yveltal'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].<br />
<br />
It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Xerneas}}, Yveltal was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.<br />
<br />
Yveltal is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon Y}}, appearing on its boxart. Yveltal, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:717 Cocoon VI OD.png|thumb|left|185px|Yveltal's dormant form, the Cocoon of Destruction]]<br />
Yveltal is a large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with both avian and draconic traits. The back of its body is black with white spots along the wings and back; its front, head, and neck are bright red with branching, black lines throughout. It has a pointed, beak-like snout, bright blue eyes, a black, forward-curving horn over each eye, and a thin, antenna-like growth behind each eye. A feathery gray ruff encircles its neck and billows out over its back. Yveltal's wings each have three spikes along the bottom edge near the body and five large, black claws on the tip. It has small, birdlike legs with gray talons. Each foot has two toes facing forward and one pointing backward. Its tail is similar in structure to its wings, including the five claws on the tip.<br />
[[File:Yveltal ZA.png|250px|thumb|right|Yveltal walking on the ground.]]<br />
Yveltal is said to represent destruction and death. It has the power to absorb life energy by spreading its wings and tailfeathers; according to legend, it does this in order to power up its own energy. It is highly feared by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] because of this. Yveltal is known to appear during a conflict, draining the life energy of any person or Pokémon that it encounters. Upon reaching the end of its lifespan, Yveltal steals the life energy of everything around it, then encases itself in a cocoon and falls into a deep slumber. Both Yveltal and {{p|Xerneas}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Yveltal's power can be used to power up machines, as seen with the [[ultimate weapon]]. Yveltal's [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] has the power to transform [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the [[ultimate weapon]].<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Oblivion Wing|release a red beam that absorbs its target's energy}}, restoring its vitality as a result. Said attack can also burn the ground it hits in the process.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Pokémon Y | Legendary Pokémon!] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> Yveltal can crawl on the ground using its wings and talons, similar to a bat. It can also use its wings to propel itself back into the air. It will harm anyone who tries to take it, even while it's in its dormant, cocoon-like state. Yveltal is drawn to the life energy that's released or disturbed within the ecosystem, such as the [[Mega Power]] emitted by the [[Ange]] machine. According to research done by [[Mable]] of [[Team Flare]], Yveltal's ability to manipulate life is considered so mysterious that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref><br />
<br />
The relationship between Yveltal and Xerneas can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As shown in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', any living creatures drained by Yveltal will turn into petrified stone, though it is unknown whether this action is intentionally malicious or not. As depicted in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction,'' Yveltal can be very vengeful to anyone who disturbs its sleep and will seek to destroy it. Its counterpart Xerneas has the power to cure Yveltal's victims by filling them with life energy, but as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. Xerneas is also shown to be capable of calming down Yveltal should it get enraged. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Yveltal was shown making plants wither away by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "the one who takes" due to its ability to take life. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Y".<br />
<br />
Yveltal is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Oblivion Wing}} and the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Dark Aura}} as an [[Ability]].<br />

* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: {{mdc|Yveltal|smd}} is one of the main antagonists of the game. It first appears on [[Revelation Mountain]], turning the {{player}}, partner, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Entei}} to stone. Later, Yveltal and the other Pokémon possessed by [[Dark Matter]] attack the group again at the [[Road to Primeval Forest]]. Once freed from its possession, Yveltal feels deep regret for its actions, despite having been under the control of something else, and tries to make amends by attacking Dark Matter later on, only to be turned to stone itself.<br />

====Major appearances====<br />
=====[[Yveltal (M17)]]=====<br />
Yveltal debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It was first seen in a flashback destroying the [[Allearth Forest]] before transforming into a cocoon and slumbering. Years later, it reawakened and attempted to destroy the Allearth Forest again, turning [[Argus Steel|Argus]] and [[Millis Steel]], [[Merilyn]], [[Riot]], and [[Ash's Pikachu]] to stone in the process. It was then calmed by {{OBP|Xerneas|M17}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and flew away peacefully.<br />
<br />
=====Other=====<br />
Yveltal made its animated series debut in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where it unleashed trouble on a kingdom, turning people and Pokémon to stone such as [[Aila]]. Its attack prompted {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} to embark on a quest to find {{p|Xerneas}} and have it restore the land and Aila.<br />
<br />
====Minor appearances====<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Generations===<br />

===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
Yveltal debuted in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', alongside [[Xerxer|Xerneas]]. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant cocoon and tree states, which are being sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. Yveltal was later captured by [[Malva]], who revealed that it had been resting in the ground under the tree form Xerneas the entire time. In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', both Yveltal and Xerneas returned to their dormant states once again, choosing to do so in order to prevent [[Lysandre]] from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.<br />

====Trophy information====<br />
'''NA''': ''With its wings spread wide, this Legendary Pokémon looks just like the letter Y.

Apparently, when Yveltal's life comes to an end, it will absorb the life force of all living things— here's to a long and healthy life! ''<br />

Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> The initial designs for the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were started by Sugimori, but he encountered "{{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}", having a hard time coming up with concepts. For the first time, he gave the work over to another designer, Ohmura. Ohmura furthered the designs, after which Sugimori resumed to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development].

Yveltal may also be based on any number of avian-related figures from mythology, such as the Celtic death-goddess {{wp|Morrigan}}, which often takes the form of a raven; or Norse mythological figures such as {{wp|Hræsvelgr}}, which takes the form of an eagle and sits at the end of the world, or the hawk {{wp|Veðrfölnir and eagle|Veðrfölnir or the unnamed eagle}} that resides at the top of the world tree {{wp|Yggdrasil}}. Additionally, it bears a striking resemblance to a species of fungus known as "{{wp|Clathrus archeri|devil's fingers}}."<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
"Yveltal" begins with the letter {{wp|Y}}. It may be derived from ''{{wp|wiktionary:yvel|yvel}}'' (a {{wp|Middle English}} spelling of ''evil'') and ''{{wp|quetzal}}'' or ''{{wp|talon}}''.<br />

'''Yveltal''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イベルタル''' ''Yveltal'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].<br />
<br />
It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Xerneas}}, Yveltal was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.<br />
<br />
Yveltal is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon Y}}, appearing on its boxart. Yveltal, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:717 Cocoon VI OD.png|thumb|left|185px|Yveltal's dormant form, the Cocoon of Destruction]]<br />
Yveltal is a large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with both avian and draconic traits. The back of its body is black with white spots along the wings and back; its front, head, and neck are bright red with branching, black lines throughout. It has a pointed, beak-like snout, bright blue eyes, a black, forward-curving horn over each eye, and a thin, antenna-like growth behind each eye. A feathery gray ruff encircles its neck and billows out over its back. Yveltal's wings each have three spikes along the bottom edge near the body and five large, black claws on the tip. It has small, birdlike legs with gray talons. Each foot has two toes facing forward and one pointing backward. Its tail is similar in structure to its wings, including the five claws on the tip.<br />
[[File:Yveltal ZA.png|250px|thumb|right|Yveltal walking on the ground.]]<br />
Yveltal is said to represent destruction and death. It has the power to absorb life energy by spreading its wings and tailfeathers; according to legend, it does this in order to power up its own energy. It is highly feared by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] because of this. Yveltal is known to appear during a conflict, draining the life energy of any person or Pokémon that it encounters. Upon reaching the end of its lifespan, Yveltal steals the life energy of everything around it, then encases itself in a cocoon and falls into a deep slumber. Both Yveltal and {{p|Xerneas}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Yveltal's power can be used to power up machines, as seen with the [[ultimate weapon]]. Yveltal's [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] has the power to transform [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the [[ultimate weapon]].<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Oblivion Wing|release a red beam that absorbs its target's energy}}, restoring its vitality as a result. Said attack can also burn the ground it hits in the process.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Pokémon Y | Legendary Pokémon!] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> Yveltal can crawl on the ground using its wings and talons, similar to a bat. It can also use its wings to propel itself back into the air. It will harm anyone who tries to take it, even while it's in its dormant, cocoon-like state. Yveltal is drawn to the life energy that's released or disturbed within the ecosystem, such as the [[Mega Power]] emitted by the [[Ange]] machine. According to research done by [[Mable]] of [[Team Flare]], Yveltal's ability to manipulate life is considered so mysterious that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref><br />
<br />
The relationship between Yveltal and Xerneas can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As shown in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', any living creatures drained by Yveltal will turn into petrified stone, though it is unknown whether this action is intentionally malicious or not. As depicted in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction,'' Yveltal can be very vengeful to anyone who disturbs its sleep and will seek to destroy it. Its counterpart Xerneas has the power to cure Yveltal's victims by filling them with life energy, but as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. Xerneas is also shown to be capable of calming down Yveltal should it get enraged. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Yveltal was shown making plants wither away by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "the one who takes" due to its ability to take life. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Y".<br />
<br />
Yveltal is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Oblivion Wing}} and the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Dark Aura}} as an [[Ability]].<br />

===NPC appearances===<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: {{mdc|Yveltal|smd}} is one of the main antagonists of the game. It first appears on [[Revelation Mountain]], turning the {{player}}, partner, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Entei}} to stone. Later, Yveltal and the other Pokémon possessed by [[Dark Matter]] attack the group again at the [[Road to Primeval Forest]]. Once freed from its possession, Yveltal feels deep regret for its actions, despite having been under the control of something else, and tries to make amends by attacking Dark Matter later on, only to be turned to stone itself.<br />

====Major appearances====<br />
=====[[Yveltal (M17)]]=====<br />
Yveltal debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It was first seen in a flashback destroying the [[Allearth Forest]] before transforming into a cocoon and slumbering. Years later, it reawakened and attempted to destroy the Allearth Forest again, turning [[Argus Steel|Argus]] and [[Millis Steel]], [[Merilyn]], [[Riot]], and [[Ash's Pikachu]] to stone in the process. It was then calmed by {{OBP|Xerneas|M17}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and flew away peacefully.<br />
<br />
=====Other=====<br />
Yveltal made its animated series debut in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where it unleashed trouble on a kingdom, turning people and Pokémon to stone such as [[Aila]]. Its attack prompted {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} to embark on a quest to find {{p|Xerneas}} and have it restore the land and Aila.<br />

Yveltal was later captured by [[Malva]], who revealed that it had been resting in the ground under the tree form Xerneas the entire time. In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', both Yveltal and Xerneas returned to their dormant states once again, choosing to do so in order to prevent [[Lysandre]] from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.<br />

<br />
===Concept and development===<br />
Yveltal, along with {{p|Xerneas}}, was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> The initial designs for the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were started by Sugimori, but he encountered "{{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}", having a hard time coming up with concepts. For the first time, he gave the work over to another designer, Ohmura. Ohmura furthered the designs, after which Sugimori resumed to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Its silhouette was modeled after the letter {{wp|Y}}.<ref>Iwata Asks - Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 English], [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/ekjj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref><br />

</gallery><br />
<br />
===Merchandise===<br />
Yveltal was featured as a rock-paper-scissors [[Poké Ball]] launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Yveltal was designed so that its silhouette resembles the letter Y. Appearance-wise, Yveltal resembles birds such as the {{wp|long-tailed widowbird}}, or {{wp|carrion}} birds such as {{wp|Carrion crow|crows}} and {{wp|vulture}}s.<br />
<br />
Yveltal may also be based on any number of avian-related figures from mythology, such as the Celtic death-goddess {{wp|Morrigan}}, which often takes the form of a raven; or Norse mythological figures such as {{wp|Hræsvelgr}}, which takes the form of an eagle and sits at the end of the world, or the hawk {{wp|Veðrfölnir and eagle|Veðrfölnir or the unnamed eagle}} that resides at the top of the world tree {{wp|Yggdrasil}}. Additionally, it bears a striking resemblance to a species of fungus known as "{{wp|Clathrus archeri|devil's fingers}}."<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
"Yveltal" begins with the letter {{wp|Y}}. It may be derived from ''{{wp|wiktionary:yvel|yvel}}'' (a {{wp|Middle English}} spelling of ''evil'') and ''{{wp|quetzal}}'' or ''{{wp|talon}}''.<br />

'''Xerneas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼルネアス''' ''Xerneas'') is a {{type|Fairy}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Xerneas has two [[#Form data|forms]], which change depending on its status. When Xerneas is in a {{pkmn|battle}} or a [[Pokémon Contest]], it is in '''Active Mode''' and its horns are multicolor; otherwise, it is in '''Neutral Mode''' and its horns are cyan.<br />
<br />
Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Yveltal}}, Xerneas was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon X}}, appearing on its boxart. Xerneas, {{p|Yveltal}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:716 Tree VI OD.png|thumb|185px|left|Xerneas's dormant form, the Tree of Life]]<br />
Xerneas is a quadrupedal, stag-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with four pairs of antlers. Its coloration varies slightly depending on whether it is in Active Mode or Neutral Mode. Regardless of mode, its main body is always black with a blue stripe down its back and a short, bushy tail. Starting at its knees there is a blade-like trim around each leg, which forms a point under each hoof. There is an upside-down, V-shaped marking on its chest in the same color as the trim on its legs. Its head and neck are blue, and there are two large, tufts that extend onto its chest and curve upward. Its first pair of antlers extends onto its head and curves around the underside of its eyes. The eyes are black with X-shaped pupils. There is a short marking on top of its snout and an upward curving horn on each side of its head in place of ears.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is said to represent life and rebirth. It has the power to share eternal life using its horns, which shine in seven colors. Xerneas can use its life energy to create vast forests and restore life to them. It can infuse both humans and Pokémon with energy and vitality. Notably, it can alter the rare [[Alpha Pokémon]] to enter a more powerful "Anomalous Alphas" state thanks to its life energy. According to [[Mable]], Xerneas can command an unlimited amount of life energy.<ref>[[Mable]]: "I mean, it has command of basically an unlimited pool of life energy!"'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> Because of this, she assumes that Xerneas could induce [[Rogue Mega Evolution]] in the presence of [[Mega Power]]. Xerneas is known to be drawn towards life energy being unleashed or affecting the ecosystem, such as the Mega Power emitted by [[Ange]]. It is highly respected by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] for its role in giving life. According to legend, Xerneas is known to have rescued wounded Pokémon during an ancient war. Both Xerneas and {{P|Yveltal}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Xerneas's power can also be used to power up machines such as the [[ultimate weapon]]. Its [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] can convert [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the ultimate weapon.<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Geomancy|absorb the energy around itself}} to strengthen itself through rainbow-colored lights.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ | Legendary Pokémon | X and Y (Archived)]</ref> According to research done by Mable, Xerneas's ability to affect life is mysterious to the point that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref><br />
<br />
The relationship between Xerneas and Yveltal can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As seen in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'', if it exhausts too much life energy, it transforms into a tree and sleeps for 1,000 years. It was also shown capable of calming Yveltal should it get enraged. Xerneas has the power to revive those who have been petrified by Yveltal. However, as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. As shown in In the Pokémon Adventures manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, Xerneas can [[Talking Pokémon|speak human language]] through telepathy. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Xerneas was shown making plants grow by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "The one who gives" due to its ability to give life. In Pokémon Adventures and in ''Pokémon the Series'', it has been referred to as "X".<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Geomancy}}. Prior to [[Generation IX]], it was also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an [[Ability]].<br />
<br />
===Forms===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Active Mode and Neutral Mode.<br />
<br />
====Active Mode====<br />
In Active Mode, its markings, antlers, and trim on its legs are pale gold. Its antlers have branches and bumps in many colors and there are multicolored spots on its back. Xerneas assumes this Mode during battle or when using its power. Xerneas is at full power when in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
====Neutral Mode====<br />
In Neutral Mode, its markings and antlers are instead pale blue and the embellishments on its antlers and spots on its back are a darker blue. Xerneas assumes Neutral Mode when not battling and traveling. This remains until it needs to use Active Mode.<br />

}}<br />

<br />
===Form data===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Neutral Mode and Active Mode. There is no gameplay difference between them; Xerneas appears in Active Mode in {{pkmn|battle}}s and [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]] (as well as its [[summary]] screen in the mobile version of [[Pokémon HOME]]) and appears in Neutral Mode in other situations, such as in cutscenes, the [[party]] and summary screens, the [[Pokémon Storage System]], [[Pokémon-Amie]], [[Pokémon Refresh]], [[Pokémon Camp]], and as a [[walking Pokémon]]. According to the [[Pokédex]], Xerneas shares everlasting life while it is in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and {{g|GO}}, Xerneas does not have distinct forms programmed in. Instead, it assumes the appearance of its Active Form in battle[[Pokémon GO|<sup>'''{{color|{{GO color}}|GO}}'''</sup>]]/during its attacking animations{{sup/9|ZA}} in a similar manner to other [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Form-like_transformations|form-like transformations]] and appears to be in Neutral Mode otherwise.<br />
<br />
Xerneas's horns and some highlights in its fur are light blue in Neutral Mode and light gold in Active Mode. In Active Mode, it grows protrusions on its horns and the spots on its back light up in several different colors.<br />

===Main series===<br />
====Major appearances====<br />
=====[[Xerneas (M17)]]=====<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It granted {{an|Diancie}} its {{a|Fairy Aura}}, which Diancie spent the entire {{pkmn|movie}} looking for. Later, it calmed down the awakened {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restored everything that Yveltal petrified. As a result, Xerneas transformed into a tree.<br />
<br />
=====Other=====<br />
Xerneas made its animated series debut as a silhouette in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]''. However, its antlers could clearly be seen. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY042|Battling into the Hall of Fame!]]''.<br />
<br />
A Xerneas appeared in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} asked for its help after {{p|Yveltal}} caused trouble upon his kingdom, including turning [[Aila]] to stone. Though it restored much of the damage Yveltal inflicted, it could not revive Aila, and thus left.<br />
<br />
====Minor appearances====<br />
A silhouetted Xerneas appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN053|Healing the Healer!]]''.<br />
<br />
===GOTCHA!===<br />
[[File:Calem Xerneas Evolutions.png|thumb|left|250px|Xerneas in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]<br />
A Xerneas briefly appeared as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Evolutions===<br />
A Xerneas appeared in ''[[PE03|The Visionary]]'', under the ownership of {{ga|Calem}}. He used it during a battle against [[Lysandre]], quickly defeating his {{me|Gyarados}}.<br />

{{main|Xerneas (M17)}}<br />
Xerneas appears in the {{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction|manga adaptation}} of the first {{aniseries|XY}} {{pkmn|movie}}, ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.<br />
<br />
===Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!===<br />
[[Manabu Kadoo|Manabu]] used a Xerneas in Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!.<br />
<br />
===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===<br />
A Xerneas appeared in [[LDK1]].<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Xerxer}}<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', alongside Yveltal. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant tree and cocoon states, which were sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. Later Xerneas awakened and took back most of the energy that had been absorbed from it. Afterwards, it was befriended and caught by {{adv|Y}}, who [[nickname]]d it Xerxer. When [[Malva]] arrived and revealed that she had captured Yveltal, the two nearly clashed again before [[Xerosic]] stopped them, stating that [[Lysandre]] ordered a ceasefire, as the powers of the two would cause an endless war. Xerxer agreed with this and escaped carrying Y and her friends. During the final battle against Team Flare, Xerxer and Yveltal clashed again, and eventually chose to return to their dormant states in order to prevent Lysandre from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.<br />

==Other appearances==<br />
[[File:Xerneas SSB4 3DS.png|220px|thumb|Xerneas in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]]]<br />

[[File:Xerneas SSB4.png|220px|thumb|Xerneas in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]]]<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===<br />
Xerneas appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} Pokémon. In the 3DS version, it is unlocked after playing {{sbw|Target Blast}} at least once, while in the Wii U version, it is unlocked by breaking at least 200 blocks in a solo game of {{sbw|Trophy Rush}} as {{SSB|Pikachu}}. When released, it uses {{m|Geomancy}} to energize nearby fighters, giving their attacks stronger knockback for a time or giving them stronger defenses. Xerneas also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.<br />
<br />
====Trophy information====<br />
'''NA''':''The horns on Xerneas's head give this {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} the power to bestow eternal life. It emanates energy with a move called Geomancy that causes all the fighters to glow. As pretty as it is, this makes everyone more easily launchable. Know when to take advantage and when to lay low.''<br />
<br />
'''PAL''': ''The horns on Xerneas's head give this Pokémon the power to bestow eternal life. When summoned in a match, energy will emanate from it and make all fighters glow. Pretty it may be, but this Geomancy move makes everyone much easier to launch. Knowing that, will you take advantage of the situation, or try to stay out of the way? ''<br />
<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===<br />
Xerneas returns as a Poké Ball summon, but it seems to only affect the summoner, who is turned {{sbw|Gold Fighter|golden}}. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Xerneas has the same stat distribution as {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />
* Xerneas has several unique distinctions:<br />
** It is the only single-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] (not counting [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}}).<br />
** It is the only [[game mascot]] whose [[signature move]] is a [[status move]].<br />
** As of {{g|Champions}}, it is the only Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] to have a former [[signature Ability]], since {{me|Floette}} can now have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an Ability.<br />
** In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, if it is in [[Pokémon Camp]], it will not play with the [[Poké Toy]] when the player shakes it, instead reacting negatively to it. It is the only Pokémon with this trait.<br />
* Xerneas is tied with {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Weezing}} as the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon (excluding {{p|Arceus}}'s Fairy-type form).<br />
* When a {{Shiny}} Xerneas is obtained by event, its model on the Mystery Gift screen is incomplete. It appears in its Active Mode, except the multicolored additions to its horns are either missing or the same blue color as on its neck.<br />
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Xerneas's Neutral Mode has no special animations that play in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation VI|Hoenn Pokédex]]; however, it plays Active Mode's attack animations if tapped in the [[summary]] screen.<br />
* In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Xerneas will not react if whistled at as a [[walking Pokémon]] in the [[Isle of Armor]] or the [[Crown Tundra]]. It shares this distinction with the fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}.<br />
* Xerneas, along with Yveltal, are the only game mascots to be unobtainable through [[transfer]]ring in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.<br />
<br />
===Concept and development===<br />
Xerneas, along with {{p|Yveltal}}, was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> The initial designs for the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were started by Sugimori, but he encountered "{{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}". For the first time, he handed the work over to another designer, Ohmura, who furthered the designs, after which Sugimori returned to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Its silhouette was modeled after the letter {{wp|X}}.<ref>Iwata Asks - Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 English], [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/ekjj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref><br />

<br />
===Merchandise===<br />
Xerneas was featured as a rock-paper-scissors [[Poké Ball]] launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Xerneas was designed so that its silhouette resembles the letter X. By extension, Xerneas may also resemble the {{wp|saltire}} symbol in heraldry or the {{wp|X mark}}. Appearance-wise, Xerneas resembles a cervid, more specifically the extinct species {{wp|Eucladoceros}}.<br />
<br />
Xerneas may also be based on {{wp|Eikþyrnir}} and the four stags {{wp|Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór}} of {{wp|Norse mythology}}. Eikþyrnir resides in {{wp|Valhalla}} eating the foliage of {{wp|Læraðr}} with glowing horns that drip with dew. According to the ''{{wp|Poetic Edda}}'', the four stags resided in the trunk of the World Tree, {{wp|Yggdrasil}}, and ate its branches and fresh shoots. Alternatively, Xerneas may be based on {{wp|Cernunnos}} of {{wp|Celtic mythology}}, a life-giving deity known as the "horned god" and associated with antlers.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
"Xerneas" begins with the letter {{wp|X}}. It may be derived from ''cervus'' (Latin for "deer"), ''{{wp|Cernunnos}}'' (a horned Celtic god), ''{{wp|Ceryneian Hind}}'', and アース ''āsu'' (earth).<br />

'''Yveltal''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イベルタル''' ''Yveltal'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].<br />
<br />
It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Xerneas}}, Yveltal was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.<br />
<br />
Yveltal is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon Y}}, appearing on its boxart. Yveltal, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:717 Cocoon VI OD.png|thumb|left|185px|Yveltal's dormant form, the Cocoon of Destruction]]<br />
Yveltal is a large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with both avian and draconic traits. The back of its body is black with white spots along the wings and back; its front, head, and neck are bright red with branching, black lines throughout. It has a pointed, beak-like snout, bright blue eyes, a black, forward-curving horn over each eye, and a thin, antenna-like growth behind each eye. A feathery gray ruff encircles its neck and billows out over its back. Yveltal's wings each have three spikes along the bottom edge near the body and five large, black claws on the tip. It has small, birdlike legs with gray talons. Each foot has two toes facing forward and one pointing backward. Its tail is similar in structure to its wings, including the five claws on the tip.<br />
[[File:Yveltal ZA.png|250px|thumb|right|Yveltal walking on the ground.]]<br />
Yveltal is said to represent destruction and death. It has the power to absorb life energy by spreading its wings and tailfeathers; according to legend, it does this in order to power up its own energy. It is highly feared by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] because of this. Yveltal is known to appear during a conflict, draining the life energy of any person or Pokémon that it encounters. Upon reaching the end of its lifespan, Yveltal steals the life energy of everything around it, then encases itself in a cocoon and falls into a deep slumber. Both Yveltal and {{p|Xerneas}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Yveltal's power can be used to power up machines, as seen with the [[ultimate weapon]]. Yveltal's [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] has the power to transform [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the [[ultimate weapon]].<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Oblivion Wing|release a red beam that absorbs its target's energy}}, restoring its vitality as a result. Said attack can also burn the ground it hits in the process.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Pokémon Y | Legendary Pokémon!] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> Yveltal can crawl on the ground using its wings and talons, similar to a bat. It can also use its wings to propel itself back into the air. It will harm anyone who tries to take it, even while it's in its dormant, cocoon-like state. Yveltal is drawn to the life energy that's released or disturbed within the ecosystem, such as the [[Mega Power]] emitted by the [[Ange]] machine. According to research done by [[Mable]] of [[Team Flare]], Yveltal's ability to manipulate life is considered so mysterious that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref><br />
<br />
The relationship between Yveltal and Xerneas can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As shown in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', any living creatures drained by Yveltal will turn into petrified stone, though it is unknown whether this action is intentionally malicious or not. As depicted in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction,'' Yveltal can be very vengeful to anyone who disturbs its sleep and will seek to destroy it. Its counterpart Xerneas has the power to cure Yveltal's victims by filling them with life energy, but as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. Xerneas is also shown to be capable of calming down Yveltal should it get enraged. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Yveltal was shown making plants wither away by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "the one who takes" due to its ability to take life. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Y".<br />
<br />
Yveltal is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Oblivion Wing}} and the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Dark Aura}} as an [[Ability]].<br />

===NPC appearances===<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: {{mdc|Yveltal|smd}} is one of the main antagonists of the game. It first appears on [[Revelation Mountain]], turning the {{player}}, partner, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Entei}} to stone. Later, Yveltal and the other Pokémon possessed by [[Dark Matter]] attack the group again at the [[Road to Primeval Forest]]. Once freed from its possession, Yveltal feels deep regret for its actions, despite having been under the control of something else, and tries to make amends by attacking Dark Matter later on, only to be turned to stone itself.<br />

====Major appearances====<br />
=====[[Yveltal (M17)]]=====<br />
Yveltal debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It was first seen in a flashback destroying the [[Allearth Forest]] before transforming into a cocoon and slumbering. Years later, it reawakened and attempted to destroy the Allearth Forest again, turning [[Argus Steel|Argus]] and [[Millis Steel]], [[Merilyn]], [[Riot]], and [[Ash's Pikachu]] to stone in the process. It was then calmed by {{OBP|Xerneas|M17}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and flew away peacefully.<br />
<br />
=====Other=====<br />
Yveltal made its animated series debut in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where it unleashed trouble on a kingdom, turning people and Pokémon to stone such as [[Aila]]. Its attack prompted {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} to embark on a quest to find {{p|Xerneas}} and have it restore the land and Aila.<br />

Yveltal was later captured by [[Malva]], who revealed that it had been resting in the ground under the tree form Xerneas the entire time. In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', both Yveltal and Xerneas returned to their dormant states once again, choosing to do so in order to prevent [[Lysandre]] from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.<br />

<br />
===Concept and development===<br />
Yveltal, along with {{p|Xerneas}}, was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> The initial designs for the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were started by Sugimori, but he encountered "{{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}", having a hard time coming up with concepts. For the first time, he gave the work over to another designer, Ohmura. Ohmura furthered the designs, after which Sugimori resumed to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Its silhouette was modeled after the letter {{wp|Y}}.<ref>Iwata Asks - Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 English], [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/ekjj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref><br />

</gallery><br />
<br />
===Merchandise===<br />
* Yveltal was featured as a rock-paper-scissors Poké Ball launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Yveltal was designed so that its silhouette resembles the letter Y. Appearance-wise, Yveltal resembles birds such as the {{wp|long-tailed widowbird}}, or {{wp|carrion}} birds such as {{wp|Carrion crow|crows}} and {{wp|vulture}}s.<br />
<br />
Yveltal may also be based on any number of avian-related figures from mythology, such as the Celtic death-goddess {{wp|Morrigan}}, which often takes the form of a raven; or Norse mythological figures such as {{wp|Hræsvelgr}}, which takes the form of an eagle and sits at the end of the world, or the hawk {{wp|Veðrfölnir and eagle|Veðrfölnir or the unnamed eagle}} that resides at the top of the world tree {{wp|Yggdrasil}}. Additionally, it bears a striking resemblance to a species of fungus known as "{{wp|Clathrus archeri|devil's fingers}}."<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
"Yveltal" begins with the letter {{wp|Y}}. It may be derived from ''{{wp|wiktionary:yvel|yvel}}'' (a {{wp|Middle English}} spelling of ''evil'') and ''{{wp|quetzal}}'' or ''{{wp|talon}}''.<br />

'''Xerneas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼルネアス''' ''Xerneas'') is a {{type|Fairy}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Xerneas has two [[#Form data|forms]], which change depending on its status. When Xerneas is in a {{pkmn|battle}} or a [[Pokémon Contest]], it is in '''Active Mode''' and its horns are multicolor; otherwise, it is in '''Neutral Mode''' and its horns are cyan.<br />
<br />
Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Yveltal}}, Xerneas was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon X}}, appearing on its boxart. Xerneas, {{p|Yveltal}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:716 Tree VI OD.png|thumb|185px|left|Xerneas's dormant form, the Tree of Life]]<br />
Xerneas is a quadrupedal, stag-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with four pairs of antlers. Its coloration varies slightly depending on whether it is in Active Mode or Neutral Mode. Regardless of mode, its main body is always black with a blue stripe down its back and a short, bushy tail. Starting at its knees there is a blade-like trim around each leg, which forms a point under each hoof. There is an upside-down, V-shaped marking on its chest in the same color as the trim on its legs. Its head and neck are blue, and there are two large, tufts that extend onto its chest and curve upward. Its first pair of antlers extends onto its head and curves around the underside of its eyes. The eyes are black with X-shaped pupils. There is a short marking on top of its snout and an upward curving horn on each side of its head in place of ears.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is said to represent life and rebirth. It has the power to share eternal life using its horns, which shine in seven colors. Xerneas can use its life energy to create vast forests and restore life to them. It can infuse both humans and Pokémon with energy and vitality. Notably, it can alter the rare [[Alpha Pokémon]] to enter a more powerful "Anomalous Alphas" state thanks to its life energy. According to [[Mable]], Xerneas can command an unlimited amount of life energy.<ref>[[Mable]]: "I mean, it has command of basically an unlimited pool of life energy!"'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> Because of this, she assumes that Xerneas could induce [[Rogue Mega Evolution]] in the presence of [[Mega Power]]. Xerneas is known to be drawn towards life energy being unleashed or affecting the ecosystem, such as the Mega Power emitted by [[Ange]]. It is highly respected by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] for its role in giving life. According to legend, Xerneas is known to have rescued wounded Pokémon during an ancient war. Both Xerneas and {{P|Yveltal}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Xerneas's power can also be used to power up machines such as the [[ultimate weapon]]. Its [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] can convert [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the ultimate weapon.<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Geomancy|absorb the energy around itself}} to strengthen itself through rainbow-colored lights.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ | Legendary Pokémon | X and Y (Archived)]</ref> According to research done by Mable, Xerneas's ability to affect life is mysterious to the point that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref><br />
<br />
The relationship between Xerneas and Yveltal can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As seen in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'', if it exhausts too much life energy, it transforms into a tree and sleeps for 1,000 years. It was also shown capable of calming Yveltal should it get enraged. Xerneas has the power to revive those who have been petrified by Yveltal. However, as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. As shown in In the Pokémon Adventures manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, Xerneas can [[Talking Pokémon|speak human language]] through telepathy. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Xerneas was shown making plants grow by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "The one who gives" due to its ability to give life. In Pokémon Adventures and in ''Pokémon the Series'', it has been referred to as "X".<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Geomancy}}. Prior to [[Generation IX]], it was also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an [[Ability]].<br />
<br />
===Forms===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Active Mode and Neutral Mode.<br />
<br />
====Active Mode====<br />
In Active Mode, its markings, antlers, and trim on its legs are pale gold. Its antlers have branches and bumps in many colors and there are multicolored spots on its back. Xerneas assumes this Mode during battle or when using its power. Xerneas is at full power when in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
====Neutral Mode====<br />
In Neutral Mode, its markings and antlers are instead pale blue and the embellishments on its antlers and spots on its back are a darker blue. Xerneas assumes Neutral Mode when not battling and traveling. This remains until it needs to use Active Mode.<br />

}}<br />

<br />
===Form data===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Neutral Mode and Active Mode. There is no gameplay difference between them; Xerneas appears in Active Mode in {{pkmn|battle}}s and [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]] (as well as its [[summary]] screen in the mobile version of [[Pokémon HOME]]) and appears in Neutral Mode in other situations, such as in cutscenes, the [[party]] and summary screens, the [[Pokémon Storage System]], [[Pokémon-Amie]], [[Pokémon Refresh]], [[Pokémon Camp]], and as a [[walking Pokémon]]. According to the [[Pokédex]], Xerneas shares everlasting life while it is in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and {{g|GO}}, Xerneas does not have distinct forms programmed in. Instead, it assumes the appearance of its Active Form in battle[[Pokémon GO|<sup>'''{{color|{{GO color}}|GO}}'''</sup>]]/during its attacking animations{{sup/9|ZA}} in a similar manner to other [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Form-like_transformations|form-like transformations]] and appears to be in Neutral Mode otherwise.<br />
<br />
Xerneas's horns and some highlights in its fur are light blue in Neutral Mode and light gold in Active Mode. In Active Mode, it grows protrusions on its horns and the spots on its back light up in several different colors.<br />

===Main series===<br />
====Major appearances====<br />
=====[[Xerneas (M17)]]=====<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It granted {{an|Diancie}} its {{a|Fairy Aura}}, which Diancie spent the entire {{pkmn|movie}} looking for. Later, it calmed down the awakened {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restored everything that Yveltal petrified. As a result, Xerneas transformed into a tree.<br />
<br />
=====Other=====<br />
Xerneas made its animated series debut as a silhouette in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]''. However, its antlers could clearly be seen. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY042|Battling into the Hall of Fame!]]''.<br />
<br />
A Xerneas appeared in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} asked for its help after {{p|Yveltal}} caused trouble upon his kingdom, including turning [[Aila]] to stone. Though it restored much of the damage Yveltal inflicted, it could not revive Aila, and thus left.<br />
<br />
====Minor appearances====<br />
A silhouetted Xerneas appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN053|Healing the Healer!]]''.<br />
<br />
===GOTCHA!===<br />
[[File:Calem Xerneas Evolutions.png|thumb|left|250px|Xerneas in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]<br />
A Xerneas briefly appeared as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Evolutions===<br />
A Xerneas appeared in ''[[PE03|The Visionary]]'', under the ownership of {{ga|Calem}}. He used it during a battle against [[Lysandre]], quickly defeating his {{me|Gyarados}}.<br />

{{main|Xerneas (M17)}}<br />
Xerneas appears in the {{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction|manga adaptation}} of the first {{aniseries|XY}} {{pkmn|movie}}, ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.<br />
<br />
===Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!===<br />
[[Manabu Kadoo|Manabu]] used a Xerneas in Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!.<br />
<br />
===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===<br />
A Xerneas appeared in [[LDK1]].<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Xerxer}}<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', alongside Yveltal. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant tree and cocoon states, which were sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. Later Xerneas awakened and took back most of the energy that had been absorbed from it. Afterwards, it was befriended and caught by {{adv|Y}}, who [[nickname]]d it Xerxer. When [[Malva]] arrived and revealed that she had captured Yveltal, the two nearly clashed again before [[Xerosic]] stopped them, stating that [[Lysandre]] ordered a ceasefire, as the powers of the two would cause an endless war. Xerxer agreed with this and escaped carrying Y and her friends. During the final battle against Team Flare, Xerxer and Yveltal clashed again, and eventually chose to return to their dormant states in order to prevent Lysandre from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.<br />

==Other appearances==<br />
[[File:Xerneas SSB4 3DS.png|220px|thumb|Xerneas in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]]]<br />

[[File:Xerneas SSB4.png|220px|thumb|Xerneas in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]]]<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===<br />
Xerneas appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} Pokémon. In the 3DS version, it is unlocked after playing {{sbw|Target Blast}} at least once, while in the Wii U version, it is unlocked by breaking at least 200 blocks in a solo game of {{sbw|Trophy Rush}} as {{SSB|Pikachu}}. When released, it uses {{m|Geomancy}} to energize nearby fighters, giving their attacks stronger knockback for a time or giving them stronger defenses. Xerneas also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.<br />
<br />
====Trophy information====<br />
'''NA''':''The horns on Xerneas's head give this {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} the power to bestow eternal life. It emanates energy with a move called Geomancy that causes all the fighters to glow. As pretty as it is, this makes everyone more easily launchable. Know when to take advantage and when to lay low.''<br />
<br />
'''PAL''': ''The horns on Xerneas's head give this Pokémon the power to bestow eternal life. When summoned in a match, energy will emanate from it and make all fighters glow. Pretty it may be, but this Geomancy move makes everyone much easier to launch. Knowing that, will you take advantage of the situation, or try to stay out of the way? ''<br />
<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===<br />
Xerneas returns as a Poké Ball summon, but it seems to only affect the summoner, who is turned {{sbw|Gold Fighter|golden}}. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Xerneas has the same stat distribution as {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />
* Xerneas has several unique distinctions:<br />
** It is the only single-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] (not counting [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}}).<br />
** It is the only [[game mascot]] whose [[signature move]] is a [[status move]].<br />
** As of {{g|Champions}}, it is the only Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] to have a former [[signature Ability]], since {{me|Floette}} can now have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an Ability.<br />
** In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, if it is in [[Pokémon Camp]], it will not play with the [[Poké Toy]] when the player shakes it, instead reacting negatively to it. It is the only Pokémon with this trait.<br />
* Xerneas is tied with {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Weezing}} as the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon (excluding {{p|Arceus}}'s Fairy-type form).<br />
* When a {{Shiny}} Xerneas is obtained by event, its model on the Mystery Gift screen is incomplete. It appears in its Active Mode, except the multicolored additions to its horns are either missing or the same blue color as on its neck.<br />
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Xerneas's Neutral Mode has no special animations that play in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation VI|Hoenn Pokédex]]; however, it plays Active Mode's attack animations if tapped in the [[summary]] screen.<br />
* In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Xerneas will not react if whistled at as a [[walking Pokémon]] in the [[Isle of Armor]] or the [[Crown Tundra]]. It shares this distinction with the fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}.<br />
* Xerneas, along with Yveltal, are the only game mascots to be unobtainable through [[transfer]]ring in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.<br />
<br />
===Concept and development===<br />
Xerneas, along with {{p|Yveltal}}, was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> The initial designs for the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were started by Sugimori, but he encountered "{{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}". For the first time, he handed the work over to another designer, Ohmura, who furthered the designs, after which Sugimori returned to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Its silhouette was modeled after the letter {{wp|X}}.<ref>Iwata Asks - Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 English], [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/ekjj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref><br />

<br />
===Merchandise===<br />
* Xerneas was featured as a rock-paper-scissors Poké Ball launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Xerneas was designed so that its silhouette resembles the letter X. By extension, Xerneas may also resemble the {{wp|saltire}} symbol in heraldry or the {{wp|X mark}}. Appearance-wise, Xerneas resembles a cervid, more specifically the extinct species {{wp|Eucladoceros}}.<br />
<br />
Xerneas may also be based on {{wp|Eikþyrnir}} and the four stags {{wp|Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór}} of {{wp|Norse mythology}}. Eikþyrnir resides in {{wp|Valhalla}} eating the foliage of {{wp|Læraðr}} with glowing horns that drip with dew. According to the ''{{wp|Poetic Edda}}'', the four stags resided in the trunk of the World Tree, {{wp|Yggdrasil}}, and ate its branches and fresh shoots. Alternatively, Xerneas may be based on {{wp|Cernunnos}} of {{wp|Celtic mythology}}, a life-giving deity known as the "horned god" and associated with antlers.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
"Xerneas" begins with the letter {{wp|X}}. It may be derived from ''cervus'' (Latin for "deer"), ''{{wp|Cernunnos}}'' (a horned Celtic god), ''{{wp|Ceryneian Hind}}'', and アース ''āsu'' (earth).<br />

'''Yveltal''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イベルタル''' ''Yveltal'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].<br />
<br />
It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Xerneas}}, Yveltal was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.<br />
<br />
Yveltal is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon Y}}, appearing on its boxart. Yveltal, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:717 Cocoon VI OD.png|thumb|left|185px|Yveltal's dormant form, the Cocoon of Destruction]]<br />
Yveltal is a large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with both avian and draconic traits. The back of its body is black with white spots along the wings and back; its front, head, and neck are bright red with branching, black lines throughout. It has a pointed, beak-like snout, bright blue eyes, a black, forward-curving horn over each eye, and a thin, antenna-like growth behind each eye. A feathery gray ruff encircles its neck and billows out over its back. Yveltal's wings each have three spikes along the bottom edge near the body and five large, black claws on the tip. It has small, birdlike legs with gray talons. Each foot has two toes facing forward and one pointing backward. Its tail is similar in structure to its wings, including the five claws on the tip.<br />
[[File:Yveltal ZA.png|250px|thumb|right|Yveltal walking on the ground.]]<br />
Yveltal is said to represent destruction and death. It has the power to absorb life energy by spreading its wings and tailfeathers; according to legend, it does this in order to power up its own energy. It is highly feared by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] because of this. Yveltal is known to appear during a conflict, draining the life energy of any person or Pokémon that it encounters. Upon reaching the end of its lifespan, Yveltal steals the life energy of everything around it, then encases itself in a cocoon and falls into a deep slumber. Both Yveltal and {{p|Xerneas}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Yveltal's power can be used to power up machines, as seen with the [[ultimate weapon]]. Yveltal's [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] has the power to transform [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the [[ultimate weapon]].<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Oblivion Wing|release a red beam that absorbs its target's energy}}, restoring its vitality as a result. Said attack can also burn the ground it hits in the process.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Pokémon Y | Legendary Pokémon!] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> Yveltal can crawl on the ground using its wings and talons, similar to a bat. It can also use its wings to propel itself back into the air. It will harm anyone who tries to take it, even while it's in its dormant, cocoon-like state. Yveltal is drawn to the life energy that's released or disturbed within the ecosystem, such as the [[Mega Power]] emitted by the [[Ange]] machine. According to research done by [[Mable]] of [[Team Flare]], Yveltal's ability to manipulate life is considered so mysterious that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref><br />
<br />
The relationship between Yveltal and Xerneas can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As shown in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', any living creatures drained by Yveltal will turn into petrified stone, though it is unknown whether this action is intentionally malicious or not. As depicted in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction,'' Yveltal can be very vengeful to anyone who disturbs its sleep and will seek to destroy it. Its counterpart Xerneas has the power to cure Yveltal's victims by filling them with life energy, but as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. Xerneas is also shown to be capable of calming down Yveltal should it get enraged. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Yveltal was shown making plants wither away by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "the one who takes" due to its ability to take life. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Y".<br />
<br />
Yveltal is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Oblivion Wing}} and the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Dark Aura}} as an [[Ability]].<br />

===NPC appearances===<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: {{mdc|Yveltal|smd}} is one of the main antagonists of the game. It first appears on [[Revelation Mountain]], turning the {{player}}, partner, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Entei}} to stone. Later, Yveltal and the other Pokémon possessed by [[Dark Matter]] attack the group again at the [[Road to Primeval Forest]]. Once freed from its possession, Yveltal feels deep regret for its actions, despite having been under the control of something else, and tries to make amends by attacking Dark Matter later on, only to be turned to stone itself.<br />

====Major appearances====<br />
=====[[Yveltal (M17)]]=====<br />
Yveltal debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It was first seen in a flashback destroying the [[Allearth Forest]] before transforming into a cocoon and slumbering. Years later, it reawakened and attempted to destroy the Allearth Forest again, turning [[Argus Steel|Argus]] and [[Millis Steel]], [[Merilyn]], [[Riot]], and [[Ash's Pikachu]] to stone in the process. It was then calmed by {{OBP|Xerneas|M17}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and flew away peacefully.<br />
<br />
=====Other=====<br />
Yveltal made its animated series debut in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where it unleashed trouble on a kingdom, turning people and Pokémon to stone such as [[Aila]]. Its attack prompted {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} to embark on a quest to find {{p|Xerneas}} and have it restore the land and Aila.<br />

Yveltal was later captured by [[Malva]], who revealed that it had been resting in the ground under the tree form Xerneas the entire time. In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', both Yveltal and Xerneas returned to their dormant states once again, choosing to do so in order to prevent [[Lysandre]] from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.<br />

[[File:Yveltal XY concept art.jpg|[[:a:Category:Concept art from Pokémon X and Y|Concept art]] featuring Yveltal from {{game|X and Y|s}}.<br />
</gallery><br />
Yveltal, along with {{p|Xerneas}}, was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> The initial designs for the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were started by Sugimori, but he encountered "{{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}", having a hard time coming up with concepts. For the first time, he gave the work over to another designer, Ohmura. Ohmura furthered the designs, after which Sugimori resumed to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Its silhouette was modeled after the letter {{wp|Y}}.<ref>Iwata Asks - Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 English], [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/ekjj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref><br />
<br />
===Merchandise===<br />
* Yveltal was featured as a rock-paper-scissors Poké Ball launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Yveltal was designed so that its silhouette resembles the letter Y. Appearance-wise, Yveltal resembles birds such as the {{wp|long-tailed widowbird}}, or {{wp|carrion}} birds such as {{wp|Carrion crow|crows}} and {{wp|vulture}}s.<br />
<br />
Yveltal may also be based on any number of avian-related figures from mythology, such as the Celtic death-goddess {{wp|Morrigan}}, which often takes the form of a raven; or Norse mythological figures such as {{wp|Hræsvelgr}}, which takes the form of an eagle and sits at the end of the world, or the hawk {{wp|Veðrfölnir and eagle|Veðrfölnir or the unnamed eagle}} that resides at the top of the world tree {{wp|Yggdrasil}}. Additionally, it bears a striking resemblance to a species of fungus known as "{{wp|Clathrus archeri|devil's fingers}}."<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
"Yveltal" begins with the letter {{wp|Y}}. It may be derived from ''{{wp|wiktionary:yvel|yvel}}'' (a {{wp|Middle English}} spelling of ''evil'') and ''{{wp|quetzal}}'' or ''{{wp|talon}}''.<br />

'''Xerneas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼルネアス''' ''Xerneas'') is a {{type|Fairy}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Xerneas has two [[#Form data|forms]], which change depending on its status. When Xerneas is in a {{pkmn|battle}} or a [[Pokémon Contest]], it is in '''Active Mode''' and its horns are multicolor; otherwise, it is in '''Neutral Mode''' and its horns are cyan.<br />
<br />
Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Yveltal}}, Xerneas was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon X}}, appearing on its boxart. Xerneas, {{p|Yveltal}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:716 Tree VI OD.png|thumb|185px|left|Xerneas's dormant form, the Tree of Life]]<br />
Xerneas is a quadrupedal, stag-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with four pairs of antlers. Its coloration varies slightly depending on whether it is in Active Mode or Neutral Mode. Regardless of mode, its main body is always black with a blue stripe down its back and a short, bushy tail. Starting at its knees there is a blade-like trim around each leg, which forms a point under each hoof. There is an upside-down, V-shaped marking on its chest in the same color as the trim on its legs. Its head and neck are blue, and there are two large, tufts that extend onto its chest and curve upward. Its first pair of antlers extends onto its head and curves around the underside of its eyes. The eyes are black with X-shaped pupils. There is a short marking on top of its snout and an upward curving horn on each side of its head in place of ears.<br />
<br />
Xerneas is said to represent life and rebirth. It has the power to share eternal life using its horns, which shine in seven colors. Xerneas can use its life energy to create vast forests and restore life to them. It can infuse both humans and Pokémon with energy and vitality. Notably, it can alter the rare [[Alpha Pokémon]] to enter a more powerful "Anomalous Alphas" state thanks to its life energy. According to [[Mable]], Xerneas can command an unlimited amount of life energy.<ref>[[Mable]]: "I mean, it has command of basically an unlimited pool of life energy!"'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> Because of this, she assumes that Xerneas could induce [[Rogue Mega Evolution]] in the presence of [[Mega Power]]. Xerneas is known to be drawn towards life energy being unleashed or affecting the ecosystem, such as the Mega Power emitted by [[Ange]]. It is highly respected by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] for its role in giving life. According to legend, Xerneas is known to have rescued wounded Pokémon during an ancient war. Both Xerneas and {{P|Yveltal}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Xerneas's power can also be used to power up machines such as the [[ultimate weapon]]. Its [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] can convert [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the ultimate weapon.<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Geomancy|absorb the energy around itself}} to strengthen itself through rainbow-colored lights.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ | Legendary Pokémon | X and Y (Archived)]</ref> According to research done by Mable, Xerneas's ability to affect life is mysterious to the point that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref><br />
<br />
The relationship between Xerneas and Yveltal can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As seen in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'', if it exhausts too much life energy, it transforms into a tree and sleeps for 1,000 years. It was also shown capable of calming Yveltal should it get enraged. Xerneas has the power to revive those who have been petrified by Yveltal. However, as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. As shown in In the Pokémon Adventures manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, Xerneas can [[Talking Pokémon|speak human language]] through telepathy. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Xerneas was shown making plants grow by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "The one who gives" due to its ability to give life. In Pokémon Adventures and in ''Pokémon the Series'', it has been referred to as "X".<br />
<br />
Xerneas is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Geomancy}}. Prior to [[Generation IX]], it was also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an [[Ability]].<br />
<br />
===Forms===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Active Mode and Neutral Mode.<br />
<br />
====Active Mode====<br />
In Active Mode, its markings, antlers, and trim on its legs are pale gold. Its antlers have branches and bumps in many colors and there are multicolored spots on its back. Xerneas assumes this Mode during battle or when using its power. Xerneas is at full power when in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
====Neutral Mode====<br />
In Neutral Mode, its markings and antlers are instead pale blue and the embellishments on its antlers and spots on its back are a darker blue. Xerneas assumes Neutral Mode when not battling and traveling. This remains until it needs to use Active Mode.<br />

<br />
===Form data===<br />
Xerneas has two forms: Neutral Mode and Active Mode. There is no gameplay difference between them; Xerneas appears in Active Mode in {{pkmn|battle}}s and [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]] (as well as its [[summary]] screen in the mobile version of [[Pokémon HOME]]) and appears in Neutral Mode in other situations, such as in cutscenes, the [[party]] and summary screens, the [[Pokémon Storage System]], [[Pokémon-Amie]], [[Pokémon Refresh]], [[Pokémon Camp]], and as a [[walking Pokémon]]. According to the [[Pokédex]], Xerneas shares everlasting life while it is in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and {{g|GO}}, Xerneas does not have distinct forms programmed in. Instead, it assumes the appearance of its Active Form in battle[[Pokémon GO|<sup>'''{{color|{{GO color}}|GO}}'''</sup>]]/during its attacking animations{{sup/9|ZA}} in a similar manner to other [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Form-like_transformations|form-like transformations]] and appears to be in Neutral Mode otherwise.<br />
<br />
Xerneas's horns and some highlights in its fur are light blue in Neutral Mode and light gold in Active Mode. In Active Mode, it grows protrusions on its horns and the spots on its back light up in several different colors.<br />

===Main series===<br />
====Major appearances====<br />
=====[[Xerneas (M17)]]=====<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It granted {{an|Diancie}} its {{a|Fairy Aura}}, which Diancie spent the entire {{pkmn|movie}} looking for. Later, it calmed down the awakened {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restored everything that Yveltal petrified. As a result, Xerneas transformed into a tree.<br />
<br />
=====Other=====<br />
Xerneas made its animated series debut as a silhouette in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]''. However, its antlers could clearly be seen. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY042|Battling into the Hall of Fame!]]''.<br />
<br />
A Xerneas appeared in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} asked for its help after {{p|Yveltal}} caused trouble upon his kingdom, including turning [[Aila]] to stone. Though it restored much of the damage Yveltal inflicted, it could not revive Aila, and thus left.<br />
<br />
====Minor appearances====<br />
A silhouetted Xerneas appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN053|Healing the Healer!]]''.<br />
<br />
===GOTCHA!===<br />
[[File:Calem Xerneas Evolutions.png|thumb|left|250px|Xerneas in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]<br />
A Xerneas briefly appeared as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Evolutions===<br />
A Xerneas appeared in ''[[PE03|The Visionary]]'', under the ownership of {{ga|Calem}}. He used it during a battle against [[Lysandre]], quickly defeating his {{me|Gyarados}}.<br />

===Movie adaptations===<br />
{{main|Xerneas (M17)}}<br />
Xerneas appears in the {{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction|manga adaptation}} of the first {{aniseries|XY}} {{pkmn|movie}}, ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.<br />
<br />
===Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!===<br />
[[Manabu Kadoo|Manabu]] used a Xerneas in Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!.<br />
<br />
===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===<br />
A Xerneas appeared in [[LDK1]].<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
{{main|Xerxer}}<br />
Xerneas debuted in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', alongside Yveltal. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant tree and cocoon states, which were sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. Later Xerneas awakened and took back most of the energy that had been absorbed from it. Afterwards, it was befriended and caught by {{adv|Y}}, who [[nickname]]d it Xerxer. When [[Malva]] arrived and revealed that she had captured Yveltal, the two nearly clashed again before [[Xerosic]] stopped them, stating that [[Lysandre]] ordered a ceasefire, as the powers of the two would cause an endless war. Xerxer agreed with this and escaped carrying Y and her friends. During the final battle against Team Flare, Xerxer and Yveltal clashed again, and eventually chose to return to their dormant states in order to prevent Lysandre from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.<br />

==Other appearances==<br />
[[File:Xerneas SSB4 3DS.png|220px|thumb|Xerneas in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]]]<br />

[[File:Xerneas SSB4.png|220px|thumb|Xerneas in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]]]<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===<br />
Xerneas appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} Pokémon. In the 3DS version, it is unlocked after playing {{sbw|Target Blast}} at least once, while in the Wii U version, it is unlocked by breaking at least 200 blocks in a solo game of {{sbw|Trophy Rush}} as {{SSB|Pikachu}}. When released, it uses {{m|Geomancy}} to energize nearby fighters, giving their attacks stronger knockback for a time or giving them stronger defenses. Xerneas also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.<br />
<br />
====Trophy information====<br />
'''NA''':''The horns on Xerneas's head give this {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} the power to bestow eternal life. It emanates energy with a move called Geomancy that causes all the fighters to glow. As pretty as it is, this makes everyone more easily launchable. Know when to take advantage and when to lay low.''<br />
<br />
'''PAL''': ''The horns on Xerneas's head give this Pokémon the power to bestow eternal life. When summoned in a match, energy will emanate from it and make all fighters glow. Pretty it may be, but this Geomancy move makes everyone much easier to launch. Knowing that, will you take advantage of the situation, or try to stay out of the way? ''<br />
<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===<br />
Xerneas returns as a Poké Ball summon, but it seems to only affect the summoner, who is turned {{sbw|Gold Fighter|golden}}. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Xerneas has the same stat distribution as {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />
* Xerneas has several unique distinctions:<br />
** It is the only single-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] (not counting [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}}).<br />
** It is the only [[game mascot]] whose [[signature move]] is a [[status move]].<br />
** As of {{g|Champions}}, it is the only Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] to have a former [[signature Ability]], since {{me|Floette}} can now have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an Ability.<br />
** In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, if it is in [[Pokémon Camp]], it will not play with the [[Poké Toy]] when the player shakes it, instead reacting negatively to it. It is the only Pokémon with this trait.<br />
* Xerneas is tied with {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Weezing}} as the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon (excluding {{p|Arceus}}'s Fairy-type form).<br />
* When a {{Shiny}} Xerneas is obtained by event, its model on the Mystery Gift screen is incomplete. It appears in its Active Mode, except the multicolored additions to its horns are either missing or the same blue color as on its neck.<br />
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Xerneas's Neutral Mode has no special animations that play in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation VI|Hoenn Pokédex]]; however, it plays Active Mode's attack animations if tapped in the [[summary]] screen.<br />
* In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Xerneas will not react if whistled at as a [[walking Pokémon]] in the [[Isle of Armor]] or the [[Crown Tundra]]. It shares this distinction with the fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}.<br />
* Xerneas, along with Yveltal, are the only game mascots to be unobtainable through [[transfer]]ring in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.<br />

===Concept and development===<br />
<gallery heights=150 widths=150><br />
Xerneas XY concept art.jpg|[[:a:Category:Concept art from Pokémon X and Y|Concept art]] of Xerneas from {{game|X and Y|s}}.<br />
</gallery><br />
Xerneas, along with {{p|Yveltal}}, was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> The initial designs for the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were started by Sugimori, but he encountered "{{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}". For the first time, he handed the work over to another designer, Ohmura, who furthered the designs, after which Sugimori returned to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Its silhouette was modeled after the letter {{wp|X}}.<ref>Iwata Asks - Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 English], [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/ekjj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref><br />
<br />
===Merchandise===<br />
* Xerneas was featured as a rock-paper-scissors Poké Ball launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Xerneas was designed so that its silhouette resembles the letter X. By extension, Xerneas may also resemble the {{wp|saltire}} symbol in heraldry or the {{wp|X mark}}. Appearance-wise, Xerneas resembles a cervid, more specifically the extinct species {{wp|Eucladoceros}}.<br />
<br />
Xerneas may also be based on {{wp|Eikþyrnir}} and the four stags {{wp|Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór}} of {{wp|Norse mythology}}. Eikþyrnir resides in {{wp|Valhalla}} eating the foliage of {{wp|Læraðr}} with glowing horns that drip with dew. According to the ''{{wp|Poetic Edda}}'', the four stags resided in the trunk of the World Tree, {{wp|Yggdrasil}}, and ate its branches and fresh shoots. Alternatively, Xerneas may be based on {{wp|Cernunnos}} of {{wp|Celtic mythology}}, a life-giving deity known as the "horned god" and associated with antlers.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
"Xerneas" begins with the letter {{wp|X}}. It may be derived from ''cervus'' (Latin for "deer"), ''{{wp|Cernunnos}}'' (a horned Celtic god), ''{{wp|Ceryneian Hind}}'', and アース ''āsu'' (earth).<br />

'''Diancie''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ディアンシー''' ''Diancie'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Fairy}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it is a mutation of {{p|Carbink}}.<br />
<br />
Diancie can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Diancie''' using the [[Diancite]]. Mega Diancie was introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.<br />
<br />
Diancie was {{n|March 2014 CoroCoro issue unveils Rock/Fairy-type Pokémon Diancie|leaked}} in the March 2014 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine on February 11, 2014, and it was officially revealed on February 14, 2014. Mega Diancie was {{n|CoroCoro leaks for July 2014 issue revealed|leaked}} in the July 2014 issue of CoroCoro magazine on June 7, 2014, and it was officially revealed on June 12, 2014.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
Diancie is a small {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a vaguely humanoid appearance. Its lower body is a conical, gray rock with a large, pink diamond sprouting from the left side. Its upper body and arms are covered by a white, fluffy material that somewhat resembles a dress. Its arms end in gray, mitten-like hands, and its gray head has purple eyes surrounded by red sclarae and pointed ears. Diancie's most distinctive feature is its headdress, composed of a collection of pink crystals with different shapes and sizes: on its forehead, a big, rounded crystal is the centerpiece, backed by four spike-like crystals. Two long, obelisk-like crystals hang down from either side of the back of its head, resembling ponytails. There is a golden, necklace-like ornament with a pink diamond around its neck, a small golden piece hanging off the rounded crystal, and a small pink diamond embedded on the back of its head.<br />
<br />
Diancie is the result of a spontaneous mutation of {{p|Carbink}}; the exact mechanism and probability of such an event happening, however, are still unknown.<ref>NPC: ''"Diancie... A sudden mutation of a {{p|Carbink}}. The probability and mechanism of its origin are still veiled in mystery."'' ({{g|X and Y}}, upon receiving Diancie)</ref> Possibly due to this, groups of Carbink tend to gather around it, but Diancie pays little attention to them. By compressing the carbon in the atmosphere with its hands, it can instantly create diamonds, which it uses to both attack and defend itself.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/diancie/ The Mythical Pokémon Diancie | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160403205622/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/diancie/ archived])</ref> The symmetry of Diancie's body enables it to absorb light with a perfect balance and display a marvellous radiance.<ref>NPC: ''"The divine symmetry of its body enables it to absorb light and display a radiance beyond the awareness of this realm."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, upon receiving Diancie)</ref> [[Emma]] compares it to the [[Anistar City]] {{DL|Anistar City|Sundial}}.<ref>[[Emma]]: ''"It's so pretty... Its glimmer reminds me of the [[Anistar City|Anistar]] {{DL|Anistar City|Sundial}}."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> It's implied that Diancie is not only somehow related to the Anistar Sundial, but also to [[Mega Crystal]]s and by extension, [[Mega Stone]]s. It is said to be the loveliest sight in the whole world and one of the most beautiful Pokémon in existence. Legends speak about Diancie as a guardian Pokémon that protects its travel partners from any ill events.<ref>NPC: ''"Legend has it that Diancie protects its travel partners from accidents and illnesses."'' ({{g|X and Y}}, upon receiving Diancie)</ref> It is said to live with a pack of Carbink in a kingdom of jewels, such as the [[Diamond Domain]] shown in the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. In said movie, it is also shown to be [[Talking Pokémon|capable of speech]] through telepathy.<br />
<br />
Diancie is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Diamond Storm}}.<br />

Diancie can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Diancie.<br />
[[File:Mega Diancie Diamonds.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Mega Diancie summoning and controlling diamonds]]<br />
As a result of Mega Evolution, Mega Diancie's lower body turns into a pink, diamond-shaped crystal with a golden ring with equidistant, claw-like hooks around the girdle. From the diamond's crown, a thin, pastel pink veil and a series of long, obelisk-chaped crystals extend downwards, covering the sides and back of its lower body, with the crystals on the back growing much longer. The white, fluffy material on its torso becomes longer, now covering the entire diameter of the diamond's girdle, loses its sleeves, and gains a golden ornament around the waist. The tips of the necklace-like ornament around its neck curve outward. The centerpiece of Mega Diancie's headdress is bigger and heart-shaped and has two long, obelisk-shaped crystals dropping down from either side, resembling a pair of long earrings; the remaining crystals of its headdress are smaller and further apart. On the back of its head, two small gems are embedded, and another long crystal drops down between them. Two lengthy ribbons grow out from this pair of gems, and each have two small crystals floating at the tips. Similarly, the long crystals covering the back of Mega Diancie's lower body and the ones on its head end in smaller, floating crystals.<br />
<br />
Mega Diancie is the first [[Mythical Pokémon]] known to be capable of Mega Evolving. It no longer has any impurities on the surface of its body, causing it to shine so brightly that when reflecting light, one cannot look directly at it. Due to its noble beauty, it has been referred to as the "Royal Pink Princess". The diamond on its forehead has 2,000 carats. With high power, fast attacks, and skill on its side, Mega Diancie can quickly adapt to any situation.<ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-diancie Mega Diancie | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150218152412/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-diancie archived])</ref> It can wield a sword made of its own diamonds.<br />

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Diancie shares the same {{pkmn|category}} name as {{p|Carbink}}. They are both known as the Jewel Pokémon.<br />
* Diancie is the only {{type|Rock}} Mythical Pokémon, excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Stone Plate]].<br />
* Diancie is tied with {{p|Carbink}} for the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.<br />
* Mega Diancie has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all Rock-type Pokémon, as well as the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all Fairy-type Pokémon outside of [[Generation VIII]]. Mega Diancie is also tied with:<br />
** Mega {{p|Tyranitar}} for the highest [[base stat]] total of all Rock-type Pokémon.<br />
** Crowned Sword {{p|Zacian}} for the highest base stat total of all Fairy-type Pokémon.<br />
* Mega Diancie's Defense and Special Defense decrease is the largest single stat decrease of all Mega Evolutions, at 40 points.<br />
* Prior to {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and its [[Mega Dimension]] DLC, Diancie was the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] capable of [[Mega Evolution]], as well as the only one introduced in [[Generation VI]].<br />
* Diancie's origin as a mutated Carbink is reflected in its near-identical [[move]]set and learn rate, though it learns {{m|Trick Room}} instead of {{m|Power Gem}} in Generation VI.<br />
* Diancie's [[Pokédex]] entry on the official English Pokémon website erroneously stated that its [[gender]] can be either male or female, despite the fact that it is actually a [[gender unknown]] Pokémon; Mega Diancie is correctly stated to be gender unknown.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokedex/diancie Diancie | Pokédex] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20240617225121/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokedex/diancie archived on June 17, 2024])</ref> This error has been fixed as of September 2024.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokedex/diancie Diancie | Pokédex] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20240926235654/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokedex/diancie archived on September 26, 2024])</ref><br />
** This error is absent in the Japanese Pokémon Zukan website.<ref>[https://zukan.pokemon.co.jp/detail/0719 ディアンシー｜ポケモンずかん (Diancie | Pokémon Pokédex)]</ref><br />
* Mega Diancie is the only {{GO|Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved}} Pokémon in {{g|GO}} to have not been featured in [[Raid Battle (GO)|Mega Raids]] at any point.<br />
* Diancie and {{p|Meltan}} are the only Pokémon in {{g|Sword and Shield}} unable to have the [[Origin mark|Galarian origin mark]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Diancie could be based on the {{wp|Carbuncle (legendary creature)|carbuncle}}, a mythical fairy-like creature that was rumored to have a {{wp|Carbuncle (gemstone)|jewel}} embedded on its forehead. Diancie could also be a visual pun derived from the idea of a "{{wp|princess cut}}" diamond, referring to its princess-like appearance, although the diamond on the forehead resembles a {{wp|Brilliant (diamond cut)|brilliant cut}} in its base form and a heart cut in its Mega Evolved form. Its relationship with Carbink may be inspired by {{wp|eusociality}}, a biological phenomenon which usually manifests in a colony of animals having a sole breeding female, or queen, tended to by her usually infertile offspring; or an example of a highly rare and unique {{wp|mutations}} such as {{wp|albinism}} or {{wp|polydactyly}}. Alternatively, the transformation from Carbink to Diancie could reference {{wp|metamorphic rock}} formation. Diancie, and its Mega Form, could possibly be analogous to various depictions of magical girls across various series. Mega Diancie in particular, being a powered up form, could potentially be compared to a typical magical girl transformation or a powered up super forms often seen in various properties.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Diancie may be a combination of ''diamond'', ''fancy'', ''pixie'', and 石 ''ishi'' (stone). The ''-cie'' could also come from メレシー ''Melecie'' (Carbink's Japanese name), reflecting Diancie’s status as a mutated Carbink.<br />

'''Gyarados''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギャラドス''' ''Gyarados'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magikarp}} starting at [[level]] 20.<br />
<br />
Gyarados can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Gyarados''' using the [[Gyaradosite]].<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:Gyarados Mouth Closed.png|thumb|left|250px|Gyarados with its mouth closed]]<br />
Gyarados is a {{wp|fish|piscine}}, draconic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a long serpentine body covered in slightly overlapping scales. It is mostly blue with a yellow underbelly, and it has a row of yellow spots down each side. Its mouth is very large and gaping, bearing four pointed teeth and yellow lips. It has one pair of {{wp|barbels (anatomy)|barbel}} and a small white fin on each side of its face. The barbels are white on a female and blue on a male. It has small, red eyes, a three-pointed, dark blue crest on its head, and four white, spiky {{wp|dorsal fin}}s. Gyarados's tail fin is similar in structure to the crest on its head, except with a thin, white fin spread between the points.<br />

The process of Evolution causes a change in its brain structure that is believed to cause its violent nature. Gyarados's fangs can crush stones and its scales are harder than steel. Gyarados is feared for its fierce temper and wanton destructive tendencies since ancient times. In some regions, Gyarados is called the "deity of destruction" because of this. It appears in times of conflict and destroys the surrounding area. Its rampages have been known to last a month at a time. These rampages can occur even during a harsh storm. A Gyarados' rage won't stop completely until everything is destroyed. Some believed any human settlement is fated to be destroyed should a Gyarados appear. Gyarados lives in both {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|fresh and salty waters}}. Both Gyarados and its Mega form have demonstrated in [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' that it can leap huge distances both from the water<ref>''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]''</ref> and from the ground<ref>''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]''</ref>, usually several times its own body length. However, Gyarados is rarely seen in the wild. The move {{m|Hyper Beam}} is often associated with Gyarados due to it being powerful enough to instantly destroy everything it hits.<br />
<br />
===Forms===<br />
Gyarados can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Gyarados.<br />
<br />
When it Mega Evolves, Gyarados becomes bulkier. The fins on its cheeks become longer and gain a yellow tint. Its crest is larger and black, and its barbels also gain considerable length. A large spike extends downward underneath its chin, and it now has a black underside with a red stripe around the edges. The yellow spots along its body are replaced by raised red scales, which propel Mega Gyarados through the water. Two large yellow fins with blue spines appear on its back. Most of the other fins along its back disappear, replaced by two rows of blue spikes. There are now four yellowish, spiky fins near its tail: two on its back and two on its underside.<br />
<br />
Due to the stress Mega Evolution puts on a Gyarados's body, it becomes even more ferocious and rough-tempered than before.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Gyarados Mega Gyarados | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160406143554/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Gyarados archived])</ref> All other brain functions cease when Mega Evolution occurs, except for the destructive drive to burn down anything into cinders. Despite its brain having a powerful destructive instinct, it will obey a {{pkmn|Trainer}} it truly trusts. Mega Gyarados can launch at Mach speed by using its orifices to release water from both sides. With this speed, it has enough power to split large ships in two. Mega Gyarados is tied with {{p|Hoopa}} {{fd|Hoopa|Unbound}} as the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Dark}}.<br />

==Game data==<br />
In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond and Pearl]], a [[Shiny Pokémon|red]] Gyarados is featured on the TV on a program called "Search for the Red Gyarados." It is this that inspires {{ga|Lucas}} or {{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Barry|their rival}} to go to [[Lake Verity]], to see if there is a rare Pokémon dwelling in it.<br />
<br />
===NPC appearances===<br />
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]]: A Gyarados appears in the [[Miracle Sea]]. He scares off the {{p|Phione}} in order to claim the Phione Dew, but is stopped by the player's team.<br />
* [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]]: Gyarados tries to take over the [[Beach Zone]] in {{p|Empoleon}}'s absence. {{p|Pikachu}} then has to beat Gyarados's Aqua Dash so Gyarados stops trying to take over.<br />
* [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]]: The player's Magikarp may evolve into Gyarados as part of the "Adios, Gyarados!" and "Macho Karp" {{DL|Pokémon: Magikarp Jump|Random encounter events|random events}}. However, once it evolves into Gyarados, it is forced to retire.<br />
* [[Pokkén Tournament]]: Gyarados has been shown in the background of the Magikarp Festival stage as an NPC background Pokémon.<br />

Gyarados debuted in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'', where he attacks his own Trainer [[Misty]] but is recaptured by {{adv|Red}}, who returns him to her.

<br />
===Concept and development===<br />
Gyarados was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]].<ref name=Yomiuri>[https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/fukayomi/ichiran/20180501-OYT8T50139/1/ Interview with Yomiuri] about Pikachu's creation (page 1)</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Gyarados Capsule Monsters 1990 Sprite Sheet.png|thumb|150px|Gyarados sprite from Capsule Monsters]]<br />
An early design of Gyarados was shown in the original [[Capsule Monsters]] pitch to [[Nintendo]].<ref>https://helixchamber.com/media/capsule-monsters/</ref> On December 2018, the beta sprite for Gyarados was showcased on a NHK Broadcast in Japan, where it had a worm-like body with a mouthful of sharp teeth and barbels on the top of its head.<ref>https://www.newsweek.com/pokemon-beta-designs-red-green-1265710</ref><br />
<br />
In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta]], Gyarados was originally known in English as ''Skulkraken''. This is a combination of ''skull'' and ''{{wp|kraken}}'', which is a mythological sea monster. According to Pokémon translator [[Nob Ogasawara]], he was the one who suggested that [[Nintendo of America]] keep Gyarados's Japanese name unchanged after "Skulkraken" was rejected by the company's legal department.<ref>(November 27, 2024). "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJMh4v-wicg A Vocation in Translation with Nob Ogasawara]." ''4Kids Flashback'' Podcast hosted by [[Tara Sands]] and Steve Yurko.</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Mega Gyarados XY concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|[[:a:Category:Concept art from Pokémon X and Y|Concept art]] featuring Mega Gyarados from {{game|X and Y|s}}.]]<br />
<br />
Internal code names in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] suggest that Gyarados and Magikarp may have been planned to receive [[convergent species]] based on them, codenamed OKAGYARADOSU, literally "hill Gyarados", and OKAKINGU, literally "hill king" from Koiking. These code names were instead assigned to {{p|Toedscruel}} and {{p|Toedscool}}, respectively.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
[[File:EP244 Unknown Pokémon.png|thumb|200px|The unnamed Pokémon resembling Mega Gyarados]]<br />
Gyarados appears to be based on a {{wp|Chinese dragon}} and a {{wp|koinobori}}. Gyarados is heavily hinted to be based on the Chinese tale of a {{p|Magikarp|carp}} ascending into a dragon upon swimming up a river or waterfall and then {{m|Splash|leaping}} over the {{wp|Longmen (mythology)|Dragon Gate}}. This legend is an allegory for the drive needed to overcome obstacles, which can be tied to the fact it can take a lot of effort to evolve a Magikarp into Gyarados.<br />
<br />
Gyarados may also reference myths about earthquakes that were popular in Japan until the late Edo period. While said phenomenon is currently associated with the giant catfish {{wp|Namazu}}, older explanations involved a giant underground dragon encircling the Japanese archipelago, or located under certain islands (such as the {{wp|Chikubu Island}} in the {{wp|Lake Biwa}}). Notably, the [[Lake of Rage]] appears to be the Pokémon world's counterpart of the Lake Biwa.<br />
<br />
Gyarados also seems to be inspired by depictions of vicious {{wp|sea monster}}s — mainly sea dragons and {{wp|sea serpent}}s — found on medieval and Renaissance maritime navigation maps, such as the ''{{wp|Carta marina}}''. This is further hinted by one of Gyarados' English names during early localization ("Skulkraken")<!--It's spelled with a single L due to character limitation-->, which references a {{wp|kraken}}. Alternatively, Gyarados could also be inspired by the South African cryptid {{wp|Inkanyamba}}, a giant, winged eel that causes storms when angry.<br />
<br />
Mega Gyarados appears to continue the theme of cartographic sea monsters, incorporating details of fish-like depictions of creatures such as the {{wp|Leviathan}} and the Serra. Furthermore, its design, specifically its large dorsal fins, strongly resembles that of the unnamed "legendary water Pokémon" seen in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP244|Enlighten Up!]]'', first aired on April 18, 2002, in which Misty recounts seeing an unknown water Pokémon. This creature may have inspired the design of Mega Gyarados when it was eventually created 10 years later. <br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Gyarados's name has no specific origin and was chosen merely for its "force".<ref name=Nameorigin>[https://archive.ph/ueFjq Tweet by 杉森 建 (@SUPER_32X).] Posted on December 12, 2011. Archived from the original via Archive.today.</ref> However, it may be variously derived from 虐殺 ''gyakusatsu'' (slaughter), 逆境 ''gyakkyō'' (adversity), or 逆転 ''gyakuten'' (reversal, turnaround); 荒らす ''arasu'' (to devastate); and 脅す ''odosu'' (to threaten).<br />

'''Gyarados''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギャラドス''' ''Gyarados'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magikarp}} starting at [[level]] 20.<br />
<br />
Gyarados can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Gyarados''' using the [[Gyaradosite]].<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:Gyarados Mouth Closed.png|thumb|left|250px|Gyarados with its mouth closed]]<br />
Gyarados is a {{wp|fish|piscine}}, draconic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a long serpentine body covered in slightly overlapping scales. It is mostly blue with a yellow underbelly, and it has a row of yellow spots down each side. Its mouth is very large and gaping, bearing four pointed teeth and yellow lips. It has one pair of {{wp|barbels (anatomy)|barbel}} and a small white fin on each side of its face. The barbels are white on a female and blue on a male. It has small, red eyes, a three-pointed, dark blue crest on its head, and four white, spiky {{wp|dorsal fin}}s. Gyarados's tail fin is similar in structure to the crest on its head, except with a thin, white fin spread between the points.<br />
<br />
The process of Evolution causes a change in its brain structure that is believed to cause its violent nature. Gyarados's fangs can crush stones and its scales are harder than steel. Gyarados is feared for its fierce temper and wanton destructive tendencies since ancient times. In some regions, Gyarados is called the "deity of destruction" because of this. It appears in times of conflict and destroys the surrounding area. Its rampages have been known to last a month at a time. These rampages can occur even during a harsh storm. A Gyarados' rage won't stop completely until everything is destroyed. Some believed any human settlement is fated to be destroyed should a Gyarados appear. Gyarados lives in both {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|fresh and salty waters}}. Both Gyarados and its Mega form have demonstrated in [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' that it can leap huge distances both from the water<ref>''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]''</ref> and from the ground<ref>''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]''</ref>, usually several times its own body length. However, Gyarados is rarely seen in the wild. The move {{m|Hyper Beam}} is often associated with Gyarados due to it being powerful enough to instantly destroy everything it hits.<br />
<br />
===Forms===<br />
Gyarados can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Gyarados.<br />
<br />
When it Mega Evolves, Gyarados becomes bulkier. The fins on its cheeks become longer and gain a yellow tint. Its crest is larger and black, and its barbels also gain considerable length. A large spike extends downward underneath its chin, and it now has a black underside with a red stripe around the edges. The yellow spots along its body are replaced by raised red scales, which propel Mega Gyarados through the water. Two large yellow fins with blue spines appear on its back. Most of the other fins along its back disappear, replaced by two rows of blue spikes. There are now four yellowish, spiky fins near its tail: two on its back and two on its underside.<br />
<br />
Due to the stress Mega Evolution puts on a Gyarados's body, it becomes even more ferocious and rough-tempered than before.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160406143554/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Gyarados | Mega Gyarados | Official Site | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y]</ref> All other brain functions cease when Mega Evolution occurs, except for the destructive drive to burn down anything into cinders. Despite its brain having a powerful destructive instinct, it will obey a {{pkmn|Trainer}} it truly trusts. Mega Gyarados can launch at Mach Speed by using its orifices to release water from both sides. With this speed, it has enough power to split large ships in two. Mega Gyarados is tied with {{p|Hoopa}} {{fd|Hoopa|Unbound}} as the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Dark}}.<br />

==Game data==<br />
In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond and Pearl]], a [[Shiny Pokémon|red]] Gyarados is featured on the TV on a program called "Search for the Red Gyarados." It is this that inspires {{ga|Lucas}} or {{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Barry|their rival}} to go to [[Lake Verity]], to see if there is a rare Pokémon dwelling in it.<br />
<br />
===NPC appearances===<br />
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]]: A Gyarados appears in the [[Miracle Sea]]. He scares off the {{p|Phione}} in order to claim the Phione Dew, but is stopped by the player's team.<br />
* [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]]: Gyarados tries to take over the [[Beach Zone]] in {{p|Empoleon}}'s absence. {{p|Pikachu}} then has to beat Gyarados's Aqua Dash so Gyarados stops trying to take over.<br />
* [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]]: The player's Magikarp may evolve into Gyarados as part of the "Adios, Gyarados!" and "Macho Karp" {{DL|Pokémon: Magikarp Jump|Random encounter events|random events}}. However, once it evolves into Gyarados, it is forced to retire.<br />
* [[Pokkén Tournament]]: Gyarados has been shown in the background of the Magikarp Festival stage as an NPC background Pokémon.<br />

* Gyarados is tied with {{p|Pelipper}} as the most common Pokémon found amongst [[Gym Leader]]s, being used by seven of them. Coincidentally, both are dual [[Water (type)|Water]]/[[Flying (type)|Flying]] type.<br />
** Gyarados is also used by three [[Pokémon League]] members (counting [[Blue (game)|Blue]] and [[Lance]] only once each) and two [[villainous team]] leaders, making it the most common Pokémon among boss Trainers in the core series at twelve appearances.<br />
* Gyarados and {{p|Magikarp}} are the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that can be obtained without a [[trade]], [[transfer]], or {{pkmn2|event}} in every [[core series]] game.<br />
* Gyarados, Magikarp, and {{p|Regigigas}} are the only three Pokémon that can be encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}} at the lowest and highest levels.<br />
** In {{B2W2}}, Gyarados can be found at levels ranging from level 1 to 100 in the [[Nature Preserve]] by using a [[Super Rod]] in rippling water.<br />
* In [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{gen|IV}}, Gyarados is the first of only two [[Shiny Pokémon]] to be integrated into a game's plot (the second was {{mdc|Celebi|2}} in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}).<br />
* Gyarados and {{p|Magikarp}} and were the first Shiny Pokémon to be available in {{g|GO}}, starting from March 22, 2017.<br />
* The radio drama ''[[The Birth of Mewtwo]]'' contains an audio footage of Gyarados's {{pkmn|discovery}} by a female researcher which ends disturbingly.<br />
* Gyarados's {{Shiny}} form is the first Shiny Pokémon to appear in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.<br />
* Gyarados has featured as multiple cultural references in the Pokémon franchise including {{wp|Koinobori}} in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' and a 1997 May calendar insert, {{wp|Shachihoko}} on a Nagoya Castle pin, {{wp|Merlion}} from Pokémon Center Singapore, and most historically as the Dragon Gate myth discussed further below.<br />
* Gyarados and Magikarp, from the {{TCG|Neo Revelation|Neo Revelation set}}, were the first Shiny Pokémon to be {{TCG ID|Neo Revelation|Shining Gyarados|65|featured in}} the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].<br />
<br />
===Concept and development===<br />
Gyarados was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]].<ref name=Yomiuri>[https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/fukayomi/ichiran/20180501-OYT8T50139/1/ Interview with Yomiuri] about Pikachu's creation (page 1)</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Gyarados Capsule Monsters 1990 Sprite Sheet.png|thumb|150px|Gyarados sprite from Capsule Monsters]]<br />
An early design of Gyarados was shown in the original [[Capsule Monsters]] pitch to [[Nintendo]].<ref>https://helixchamber.com/media/capsule-monsters/</ref> On December 2018, the beta sprite for Gyarados was showcased on a NHK Broadcast in Japan, where it had a worm-like body with a mouthful of sharp teeth and barbels on the top of its head.<ref>https://www.newsweek.com/pokemon-beta-designs-red-green-1265710</ref><br />
<br />
In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta]], Gyarados was originally known in English as ''Skulkraken''. This is a combination of ''skull'' and ''{{wp|kraken}}'', which is a mythological sea monster. According to Pokémon translator [[Nob Ogasawara]], he was the one who suggested that [[Nintendo of America]] keep Gyarados's Japanese name unchanged after "Skulkraken" was rejected by the company's legal department.<ref>(November 27, 2024). "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJMh4v-wicg A Vocation in Translation with Nob Ogasawara]." ''4Kids Flashback'' Podcast hosted by [[Tara Sands]] and Steve Yurko.</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Mega Gyarados XY concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|[[:a:Category:Concept art from Pokémon X and Y|Concept art]] featuring Mega Gyarados from {{game|X and Y|s}}.]]<br />
<br />
Internal code names in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] suggest that Gyarados and Magikarp may have been planned to receive [[convergent species]] based on them, codenamed OKAGYARADOSU, literally "hill Gyarados", and OKAKINGU, literally "hill king" from Koiking. These code names were instead assigned to {{p|Toedscruel}} and {{p|Toedscool}}, respectively.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
[[File:EP244 Unknown Pokémon.png|thumb|200px|The unnamed Pokémon resembling Mega Gyarados]]<br />
Gyarados appears to be based on a {{wp|Chinese dragon}} and a {{wp|koinobori}}. Gyarados is heavily hinted to be based on the Chinese tale of a {{p|Magikarp|carp}} ascending into a dragon upon swimming up a river or waterfall and then {{m|Splash|leaping}} over the {{wp|Longmen (mythology)|Dragon Gate}}. This legend is an allegory for the drive needed to overcome obstacles, which can be tied to the fact it can take a lot of effort to evolve a Magikarp into Gyarados.<br />
<br />
Gyarados may also reference myths about earthquakes that were popular in Japan until the late Edo period. While said phenomenon is currently associated with the giant catfish {{wp|Namazu}}, older explanations involved a giant underground dragon encircling the Japanese archipelago, or located under certain islands (such as the {{wp|Chikubu Island}} in the {{wp|Lake Biwa}}). Notably, the [[Lake of Rage]] appears to be the Pokémon world's counterpart of the Lake Biwa.<br />
<br />
Gyarados also seems to be inspired by depictions of vicious {{wp|sea monster}}s — mainly sea dragons and {{wp|sea serpent}}s — found on medieval and Renaissance maritime navigation maps, such as the ''{{wp|Carta marina}}''. This is further hinted by one of Gyarados' English names during early localization ("Skulkraken")<!--It's spelled with a single L due to character limitation-->, which references a {{wp|kraken}}. Alternatively, Gyarados could also be inspired by the South African cryptid {{wp|Inkanyamba}}, a giant, winged eel that causes storms when angry.<br />
<br />
Mega Gyarados appears to continue the theme of cartographic sea monsters, incorporating details of fish-like depictions of creatures such as the {{wp|Leviathan}} and the Serra. Furthermore, its design, specifically its large dorsal fins, strongly resembles that of the unnamed "legendary water Pokémon" seen in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP244|Enlighten Up!]]'', first aired on April 18, 2002, in which Misty recounts seeing an unknown water Pokémon. This creature may have inspired the design of Mega Gyarados when it was eventually created 10 years later. <br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Gyarados's name has no specific origin and was chosen merely for its "force".<ref name=Nameorigin>[https://archive.ph/ueFjq Tweet by 杉森 建 (@SUPER_32X).] Posted on December 12, 2011. Archived from the original via Archive.today.</ref> However, it may be variously derived from 虐殺 ''gyakusatsu'' (slaughter), 逆境 ''gyakkyō'' (adversity), or 逆転 ''gyakuten'' (reversal, turnaround); 荒らす ''arasu'' (to devastate); and 脅す ''odosu'' (to threaten).<br />

<!--Mega Evolution is not an Evolution method, and should not be classified as such.--><br />
'''Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカ''' ''Mega Evolution'') is an [[item]]-induced [[Form|transformation]] introduced in {{g|X and Y}} that affects certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is present in the [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VII}} [[core series]] games, and has reappeared in {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and its [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]]. Mega Evolution has also appeared in {{spin-off games}} such as {{g|GO}}, {{g|Masters EX}}, and {{g|UNITE}}, as well as in the [[side series]] title {{g|Champions}}.<br />
<br />
Certain Pokémon can undergo Mega Evolution by having their Trainer activate their [[Key Stone]] while the Pokémon holds their corresponding [[Mega Stone]]. There are currently {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pokémon with Mega Evolutions|pages}}-1}} species of Pokémon that are known to be capable of Mega Evolution, and there are currently 93 (or 96, counting specific variations) different known Mega Evolutions.<br />
<br />
==Terminology==<br />
The term '''Mega Evolution''' describes both the phenomenon<ref>{{p|Roaring Moon}}'s [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] [[Pokédex entry]]: ''"According to an article in a dubious magazine, this Pokémon has some connection to a phenomenon that occurs in a certain region."''</ref> and the transformed {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The related verb is '''Mega Evolve'''. <br />
<br />
The '''Mega-Evolved''' Pokémon<ref group="lower-alpha">"Mega Evolved" is hyphenated as "Mega-Evolved" when used as an adjective before a noun e.g. "Mega-Evolved Pokémon" or "Mega-Evolved [[form]]". [https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/elevate-heroic-hoenn-pokemon-with-mega-evolution Elevate Heroic Hoenn Pokémon with Mega Evolution], [[Pokémon.com]]. [https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/Pokemon-Shuffle-Launch-Announced-New-Pokemon-Discovered-in-Pokemon-Ome Pokémon Shuffle Launch Announced, New Pokémon Discovered in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire], Press release, [[Pokémon.com]]. [https://www.pokemon.com/uk/strategy/a-guide-to-mega-evolution-in-pokemon-go A Guide to Mega Evolution in Pokémon GO], [[Pokémon.com]]</ref> are identified by the prefix "'''Mega'''" in their name, such as Mega {{p|Altaria}} or Mega {{p|Meganium}}. <br />
<br />
Pokémon with two Mega Evolutions use one of two naming conventions: <br />
* Both Mega Evolutions are followed by either the letter X or Y (e.g., Mega {{p|Charizard}} X and Mega Charizard Y).<br />
* If one form is a Z Mega Evolution, only that form will be followed by the letter Z (e.g., Mega {{p|Lucario}} and Mega Lucario Z).<br />

==Overview==<br />
[[File:Ralts Evolution Z-A.png|thumb|right|250px|The Evolution line for {{p|Ralts}} leading up to Mega {{p|Gardevoir}}]]<br />
Described as "[[Evolution]] that transcends Evolution",<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-gb/story/#:~:text=Prepare%20for%20Mega%20Evolution! Prepare for Mega Evolution! | Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee!]</ref> the process of Mega Evolution drastically increases a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s strength, as evident by the increase in [[base stat]]s upon Mega Evolving,<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ Mega-Evolved Pokémon | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219212327/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ archived])</ref> as well as the fact that it occurs only on Pokémon that are not able to evolve any further. Despite its name, Mega Evolution differs from regular Evolution in the sense that it is only a temporary transformation. To Mega Evolve, a Pokémon requires a strong bond with its {{pkmn|Trainer}},<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/whats_new/mega_evolution Mega Evolution | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150208104005/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/whats_new/mega_evolution archived])</ref><ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/new-mega-evolutions New Mega Evolutions | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150202062733/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/new-mega-evolutions archived])</ref> and two specific items are required for the process: a corresponding [[Mega Stone]] (except for {{p|Rayquaza}}, who only needs to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}), and a [[Key Stone]] for the Trainer.<ref>{{mas|Professor Sycamore}}: ''"Well, theoretically, Mega Evolution should only be possible through the use of two [[Key Stone|special]] [[Mega Stone|stones]] by a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who share a strong bond."'' ({{g|Masters EX}})</ref> Mega Evolution imparts a Pokémon with even greater power by unleashing its hidden energy.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/mega-pokemon Mega Evolution | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Only Pokémon who cannot evolve further can undergo Mega Evolution, including Pokémon that should be able to evolve, but cannot.<ref>[[Naveen]]: ''"I have a question—why would Floette be able to Mega Evolve at all? Normally Pokémon can only Mega Evolve when they aren’t capable of evolving any further... Shouldn’t Floette be able to evolve into Florges?"''<br/>[[AZ]]: ''"My Floette cannot evolve... Perhaps because she is such a special Pokémon, having received the lives of so many others... Though that is only my conjecture."''</ref><br />
<br />
Along with the power boost, Mega Evolution triggers a transformation in the Pokémon's appearance and behavior. In the case of {{p|Slowbro}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, and {{p|Floette}}, only one component of the Pokémon absorbs the Mega Evolution energy, while the main body remains unchanged. Even though it is usually described as beneficial, some Pokémon, like {{p|Scizor}} or {{p|Houndoom}}, are said to experience discomfort while Mega Evolved. Additionally, it may change the Pokémon's [[Ability]] to a set one (for instance, a regular {{p|Venusaur}} can have the standard Ability {{a|Overgrow}} or the [[Hidden Ability]] {{a|Chlorophyll}}, but a Mega Venusaur always has {{a|Thick Fat}}) and may also alter its [[type]], be it by adding, changing, or removing one (Mega {{p|Ampharos}}, Mega {{p|Gyarados}}, and Mega {{p|Aggron}}, respectively, are examples of such cases). Certain Pokémon even gain a new {{pkmn|category}} upon Mega Evolution; e.g., {{p|Darkrai}} is known as the Pitch-Black Pokémon in its base form and the Bad Dreams Pokémon as Mega Darkrai.<br />
<br />
{{g|Legends: Z-A}} introduces the concept of '''[[Rogue Mega Evolution]]''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|暴走メガシンカ|Bōsō Mega-shinka}}''' ''Rampaging Mega Evolution''), whereby [[wild Pokémon]] undergo Mega Evolution on their own after exposure to high concentrations of [[Mega Power]], which drives them into a berserk, painful state. The [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] further introduces the concept of '''Z Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Ｚと名のつくメガシンカ|Z to Na no Tsuku Mega-shinka}}''' ''Mega Evolution with the name Z''), a type of Mega Evolution in which the Pokémon consumes Mega Power at twice the rate of a regular Mega Evolution, but has zero wind-up time on all its [[Move|moves]].<ref name="MegaLucarioZ">[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega_lucario_z A New Mega-Evolved Pokémon Is Here | Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension]</ref><br />

[[File:Lumiose Museum Mega Lucario Statue Replica ZA.png|thumb|200px|A replica of the Mega {{p|Lucario}} statue from the [[Tower of Mastery]]]]<br />
The phenomenon of Mega Evolution originated in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], with {{p|Rayquaza}} being the first-ever {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to Mega Evolve.<ref>[[Draconid people|Draconid descendant]], [[Meteor Falls]]: "''Yes, I am one of the [[Draconid people]]. One of the ancient folk tasked with passing down the knowledge of Mega Evolution—with the great lore of Lord {{p|Rayquaza}}, who was the beginning of all."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Korrina]], [[Hyperspace Sky Pillar]]: ''"I'm gonna get to meet—and {{pkmn|battle}}—the very first Pokémon that ever Mega Evolved..."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}} — [[Mega Dimension]])</ref> According to the legend, as told by [[Zinnia]] at [[Sky Pillar]] and reiterated by [[Ansha]], a huge meteoroid struck the planet 1,000 years ago, creating the crater where currently lies [[Sootopolis City]] and causing natural energy to pour out of the cracks. In turn, this caused [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} to reawaken and fight for it over endless, world-defining clashes. The people at the time, the [[Draconid people|Draconids]], could only stand by and wish for Rayquaza to appear and bring salvation, as it had done before. Responding to the Draconids' wishes, Rayquaza descended over the brilliant meteoroid and transformed into a sublime figure before quelling the conflict—in this sense, the meteoroid acted as a [[Key Stone]], amplifying the wishes into the bond necessary to connect the people to Rayquaza, who already had the innate potential to Mega Evolve. [[AZ]] witnessed these events.<ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"A witness to this series of events, a tall [[AZ|visitor]] from a [[Kalos|distant land]], said, “It is the Δ (Delta), born of the great disturbances in this world. By the bonds born of mankind's wish and the power of the stones, it will calm the troubles that plague the world.”"'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Emma]]: ''"Ah! I just remembered that [[AZ]] mentioned something else. He said during his long journey searching for {{p|Floette}}, he saw a phenomenon in [[Hoenn]] that may have been the beginning of all Mega Evolution!"'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> The meeting between humanity and Rayquaza allowed for the mechanism behind the phenomenon to be understood, which led to the current theory of Mega Evolution.<ref>Scientist, [[Devon Corporation]]: "''Those who saw the way that Rayquaza, possessing this special power, reacted to their [[Key Stone]]s to transform itself, began research into the subject. It came to be recognized as a form of [[Evolution]], a new possibility for Pokémon. And what we stitched together from all of this long research is the current theory of Mega Evolution."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><br />
[[File:Super-ancient Pokémon storybook.png|thumb|left|250px|A story book depicting Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} defeating [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}}]]<br />
During the events of {{g|X and Y}}, the prevailing idea was that Mega Evolution was a phenomenon exclusive to the [[Kalos]] region,<ref>[[Professor Sycamore]]: ''"And why are there examples of Mega Evolution only in the [[Kalos]] [[region]]? There's still so much we don't know..."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> where the first-ever Mega Evolution supposedly took place after a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{p|Lucario}} found the first known [[Mega Stone]] and Key Stone.<ref>NPC, [[Tower of Mastery]]: ''"Long, long ago, a {{pkmn|Trainer}} came to this land accompanied by a {{p|Lucario}}. They found two strange stones. This is said to have led to the world's first Mega Evolution."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref><ref>Painting, [[Lumiose Museum]]: ''"The [[Tower of Mastery]] stands to the north of [[Shalour City]]. Two strange stones were once discovered in this area, which are now thought to have been the first known [[Mega Stone]] and Key Stone."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> In the five years leading to {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, however, this notion seems to have been debunked,<ref>[[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Side missions|Constance]]: ''"The story goes that this [[AZ]] person traveled all the way to some far-off region called [[Hoenn]]. There, he researched the origins of Mega Evolution to satisfy his own curiosity."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> with paintings of the [[Tower of Mastery]] at the [[Lumiose Museum]] now claiming that Lucario was the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve in the Kalos region, specifically. Despite this, [[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory on the origin of Mega Stones being a consequence of the use of the [[ultimate weapon]] seems to still be upheld, at least partially, with AZ himself supporting his claims.<ref>[[Emma]]: ''"[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that Mega Stones formed three thousand years ago... when certain stones were irradiated by the light—the energy of the [[Legendary Pokémon]]—that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]. AZ nodded when he heard that. According to him, that's why we've been finding new types of Mega Stones recently. After all, the ultimate weapon was fired again five years ago..."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, [[Sina]] implies the phenomenon does not naturally occur in regions far from Kalos, such as [[Alola]].<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"It's so mysterious... to be talking about Mega Evolution here, in a region so far away from Kalos..."'' ({{g|Sun and Moon}}).</ref> <br />
<br />
According to Professors {{prof|Cozmo}} and Sycamore, Mega Evolution triggers the release of the entirety of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once,<ref>[[Professor Cozmo]]: ''"We will start off by artificially replicating the massive energy that is triggered at the time of Mega Evolution!"'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Lysandre]]: ''"According to Professor Sycamore's research, Mega Evolution releases all of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> implying a strong connection to a Pokémon's own life force. This is further suggested by the fact that [[Infinity Energy]], the power source used as fuel for the ultimate weapon, has been confirmed multiple times to be made of the life energy of Pokémon,<ref>[[Mr. Stone]]: ''"And what energy source could power such a dreadful weapon? Do you know? You see... It ran on the life energy of Pokémon. The energy that could be gained by the sacrifice of so many Pokémon..."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]], B3F: ''"The weapon will be powered by living Pokémon—or rather by the life energy they contain."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> and that the [[Devon Corporation]] researched into Mega Evolution in order to develop Infinity Energy. In addition, Pokémon Legends: Z-A introduces [[Mega Power]], a form of energy emitted by [[Ange]] from within [[Prism Tower]] that, when in excessive amounts, is able to make wild Pokémon enter a frenzied, Mega-Evolved state that heavily strains its body, a process known as [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]. [[Mable]] suggests that {{p|Xerneas}}'s life energy can act similar to Mega Power, enabling the phenomenon of Rogue Mega Evolution.<ref>[[Mable]]: ''"The excessive [[Mega Power]] from the tower caused [[Rogue Mega Evolution]], and if {{p|Xerneas}} shows up, something similar could happen again. I mean, it has command of basically an unlimited pool of life energy!"'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> Mega Power can be stored in a [[Mega Ring]] and be used by the {{player}} to Mega Evolve a Pokémon or upgrade a [[move]] into a [[Plus Move]].<br />
<br />
{{p|Diancie}} is the first known [[Mythical Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolution.<ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-diancie Mega Diancie | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150218152412/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-diancie archived])</ref><br />
<br />
In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, [[Colress]] questions whether or not [[Z-Power]] can surpass the Mega Ring.<ref>[[Colress]]: ''"[[Z-Power]]... Is it the true potential that I seek? Does it surpass the [[Mega Ring]]?" ({{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}})''</ref> [[Dexio]] and Sina also imply that the two are similar due both being powered up by the Trainer-Pokémon relational bond.<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"You know, when you think about it, the [[Z-Power Ring]] helps the feelings of a Trainer reach their Pokémon so it can use its [[Z-Move]], right? It only follows that it should be able to achieve Mega Evolution, too!"'' ({{g|Sun and Moon}})</ref><br />
<br />
Mega Evolution is also referenced in the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine and in the [[Paldea]] [[Pokédex]], where it is mentioned that {{p|Roaring Moon}} resembles Mega {{p|Salamence}}.<br />

===In battle===<br />
[[File:Blaziken Mega Evolution.png|thumb|right|240px|{{p|Blaziken}} Mega Evolving into Mega Blaziken]]<br />
In the [[core series]] games, Mega Evolution requires the player to hold a [[Key Stone]] and a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} capable of Mega Evolution holding its compatible [[Mega Stone]]. Only {{p|Rayquaza}} does not need a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve; instead, it must know the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. In {{LGPE}}, the player simply needs to have the required Mega Stone in their bag, since there is no held item feature. Although most media state that a strong bond with the Pokémon and their Trainer is needed, neither [[friendship]] nor [[affection]] is necessary to Mega Evolve in the games.<br />
<br />
A Mega-Evolved Pokémon has different [[base stats]], with the exception of {{stat|HP}}, and can have a different [[Ability]] and [[type]] from its non-Mega-Evolved [[form]]. Every Mega-Evolved Pokémon (except for Mega {{p|Alakazam}} in [[Generation VI]]) has a [[base stat]] total 100 points higher than that of its base form, though in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Starmie}} have a greater increase in [[stat]]s. For all three, this is to make up for the lack of Abilities in the game (they all have Abilities that double their {{stat|Attack}} stats, namely {{a|Huge Power}} and {{a|Pure Power}}). Mega Zygarde gains only 70 points.<br />
<br />
In any {{pkmn|battle}}, each {{pkmn|Trainer}} may only Mega Evolve a single Pokémon once. Mega Evolution is essentially a free action a Pokémon may make in addition to its normal [[move]], but if a Pokémon will not use a move, it cannot Mega Evolve. Mega Evolution occurs [[priority|before]] most actions except [[recall|switching out]]. A Mega-Evolved Pokémon will only revert to its original state if it [[fainting|faints]] or the battle ends; if it is switched out, it will remain Mega Evolved.<br />
<br />
A Pokémon cannot Mega Evolve if it is being held in the airborne phase of {{m|Sky Drop}}. Neither volatile nor non-volatile [[status condition]]s such as {{status|paralysis}}, {{status|sleep}}, or {{status|infatuation}} will have any effect over a Pokémon's ability to Mega Evolve, even if they result in the Pokémon not being able to attack that turn.<br />
<br />
Mega Stones are not affected by most moves or Abilities. The moves {{m|Bestow}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Trick}}, and {{m|Switcheroo}} will fail to move a Mega Stone to or from a Pokémon that could use it to Mega Evolve, and the Abilities {{a|Magician}}, {{a|Pickpocket}} and {{a|Symbiosis}} will not activate. {{m|Knock Off}} cannot remove a Mega Stone from a Pokémon that can use it to Mega Evolve, so its power will not be increased since it cannot remove the item. The moves {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} and the Ability {{a|Klutz}} will not prevent a Pokémon from using its respective Mega Stone to Mega Evolve.<br />
<br />
Changes in a Pokémon's [[Ability]] will take place immediately. A {{p|Sharpedo}} that normally has {{a|Speed Boost}} will not gain a boost in {{stat|Speed}} at the end of the turn it Mega Evolves, but if it uses a biting move such as {{m|Crunch}} that turn, it will be boosted by {{a|Strong Jaw}}, its Ability as Mega Sharpedo.<br />
<br />
A Pokémon that has transformed into another (either through {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}) is unable to Mega Evolve. It will fail to Mega Evolve even if it is transformed into the correct species and it is holding the respective Mega Stone. However, it is still possible to transform into a Mega-Evolved Pokémon. The restriction of only one Mega Evolution per battle does not apply to transformed Pokémon.<br />
<br />
====Generation VI====<br />
In [[Generation VI]], performing Mega Evolution will not alter the turn order the turn the Pokémon undergoes Mega Evolution. A Pokémon with a lower Speed stat than their opponent will still go after them on the one turn the Mega Evolution occurs, even if their Mega Evolution increases Speed and would otherwise cause them to go first. The opposite is also true for Pokémon whose Speed stat decreases after Mega Evolution, such as {{p|Garchomp}}. However, turn order will be determined normally on every turn afterwards.<br />
<br />
Otherwise, stat changes and type changes due to Mega Evolution take effect immediately and damage calculation proceeds as usual. For example, a Pokémon whose Mega Evolution has a lower base {{stat|Defense}} stat takes greater damage from physical moves on the turn it Mega Evolves. Likewise, the move {{m|Gyro Ball}} considers the Pokémon's Speed stat after Mega Evolution for damage calculation, not before. Even if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority.<br />
<br />
When the player Mega Evolves a Pokémon for the first time since the save file is accessed, a longer animation than usual will play, showing the [[player character]] activating the Mega Evolution with their [[Mega Bracelet]]. On subsequent uses of Mega Evolution, a shorter animation will play, showing only the Pokémon as it Mega Evolves.<br />
<br />
====Generation VII====<br />
In [[Generation VII]], a Pokémon's Speed after Mega Evolution is used to determine turn order, not its Speed before. Likewise, if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as Prankster before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. {{p|Rayquaza}} cannot Mega Evolve if it is holding a [[Z-Crystal]].<br />
<br />
In {{LGPE}}, as the [[held item]] mechanic is not implemented, the player simply needs to have the compatible Mega Stone in their bag to access a Pokémon's Mega Evolution. The player can also manually pick which form Charizard or Mewtwo can become from the move menu.<br />
<br />
====Generation IX====<br />
[[File:Rogue Mega Evolution.png|thumb|250px|left|A Rogue Mega {{p|Victreebel}}]]<br />
Mega Evolution returned in {{g|Legends: Z-A}} after seven years of absence.<br />
<br />
Mega-Evolved Pokémon are shown to now be surrounded by a rainbow-colored aura. It is manually activated while clicking the right thumb stick, but unlike in previous games, only when the "Mega Gauge" is full, which can be done by using moves on opposing Pokémon or by gathering orbs of [[Mega Power]], which are dropped by opposing Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Additionally, Mega Evolution no longer lasts until the end of the battle and is now on a time limit, which can be slightly extended by gathering Mega Power orbs. Mega Stones need to be held by the affiliated Pokémon in order to allow Mega Evolution. Unlike in previous games, the player can Mega Evolve their Pokémon multiple times per battle.<br />
<br />
[[Rogue Mega Evolution]] is a phenomenon that causes [[wild Pokémon]] to Mega Evolve on their own, without the need of a Trainer. These Pokémon are apparently in pain, much bigger than normal after Mega Evolving, and surrounded by a pink-colored aura. Calming a Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon will reward the [[Mega Stone]] that is compatible with the defeated Pokémon. [[Team MZ]] is tasked with investigating this strange abnormality by [[Quasartico Inc.]]<ref>"[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-legends-z-a Pokémon Legends: Z-A | Pokémon.com]: ''"[[Quasartico Inc.]], the corporation driving [[Lumiose City]]'s redevelopment, will task you and the rest of [[Team MZ]] with aiding their investigation into these strange occurrences. Work together with your friends from Team MZ to take on and calm a variety of [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon. You can also obtain Mega Stones by pacifying Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon.''"</ref><br />
<br />
In the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC, Z Mega Evolution is introduced for the first time. Z Mega Evolutions take less time to unleash moves compared to other Mega Evolutions, but burn through [[Mega Power]] much faster.<ref name="MegaLucarioZ"/><br />
<br />
===Outside of battle===<br />
[[File:Mega Evolution Contest Spectacular.png|thumb|right|220px|A {{p|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolving in a [[Pokémon Contest|Contest Spectacular]]]]<br />
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Mega Evolution can also occur during the {{pkmn|Contest#Secondary judging|Talent Round}} of [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]]. If the participating Pokémon is holding its corresponding Mega Stone when its [[appeal]] causes the audience's excitement to reach its peak, it will Mega Evolve and perform a {{DL|Appeal|Spectacular Talent}}. The Pokémon will remain Mega-Evolved for the remainder of the Talent Round.<br />
<br />
When summoned by the [[Eon Flute]], {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} will Mega Evolve before the player mounts it to [[soaring in the sky|soar in the sky]]. It will Mega Evolve even if it is not holding its corresponding Mega Stone, since the Eon Pokémon is summoned even if it is currently not in the player's game.<br />

==In the spin-off games==<br />
===Pokémon GO===<br />
{{main|Mega Evolution (GO)}}<br />
Mega Evolution was introduced in [[Pokémon GO]] on August 27, 2020. Rather than using a [[Mega Stone]], an eligible Pokémon consumes [[Mega Energy]] to undergo Mega Evolution for 8 real life hours.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Masters EX===<br />
{{main|Mega Evolution (Masters)}}<br />
Certain [[sync pair]]s can Mega Evolve their Pokémon by performing a [[sync move]] in Pokémon Masters EX since the game's launch.<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===<br />
[[File:UNITE Mega Pokémon Official Artwork.png|200px|thumb|Four Mega Evolutions in Pokémon UNITE]]<br />
{{p|Mewtwo}} can become [[Mewtwo (Unite License X)|Mega Mewtwo X]] or [[Mewtwo (Unite License Y)|Mega Mewtwo Y]]. This is facilitated by its {{a|Pressure}} [[Ability]], which has a Mega gauge which is filled by using [[basic attack]]s and {{UNITE|move}}s on members of the opposing team. If the gauge is full, and Mewtwo is at least [[Level]] 5, it will Mega Evolve.<br />
<br />
Unlike in the [[core series]], Mewtwo can only be Mega Evolved for a set amount of time, delineated by the Mega gauge draining back to empty, after which it returns to being a normal Mewtwo. However, Mewtwo can refill its Mega gauge to Mega Evolve multiple times in the same [[Unite Battle]]. When Mega Evolved, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y have different basic attacks and increased stats compared to Mewtwo.<br />
<br />
Starting from version 1.14.1.2, Mewtwo spends some of the [[Aeos energy]] it is holding when it Mega Evolves. The Mega Evolution will last longer if Mewtwo uses up more Aeos energy.<br />
<br />
There are two [[Unite License]]s for Mewtwo. While both of them allow for using Mewtwo in a Unite Battle, each one has separate characteristics. Only the Unite License X one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo X, while the Unite License Y one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y.<br />
<br />
Starting from version 1.20.1.2, Mewtwo is required to hold its respective Mega Stone, either the Mewtwonite X or Mewtwonite Y depending on the Unite License, as a held item.<br />
<br />
In a letter from the producer released on July 15, 2025, it was announced that more Mega-Evolved Pokémon were planned to be added to the game to celebrate the release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.<ref>[https://community.pokemon.com/en-us/discussion/19322/letter-from-the-producer-pokemon-unite-s-4th-anniversary Letter from the Producer—Pokémon UNITE’s 4th Anniversary]</ref> {{UNITE|Mega Lucario}} was the first of these new Mega Evolutions to release, followed by {{UNITE|Mega Charizard X}}. More Mega-Evolved Pokémon would also be released throughout the rest of 2025, including {{UNITE|Mega Gyarados}} and {{UNITE|Mega Charizard Y}}.<ref>[https://x.com/Pokemon/status/1962712084421992841]</ref><br />
<br />
Unlike Mewtwo, these Mega-Evolved Pokémon have separate [[Unite license]]s from their base forms. When using the Unite license, the Pokémon starts off in their base form, however they can only choose one specific set of moves and have a different [[Ability]]. When the Pokémon uses its [[Move (UNITE)#Unite Move|Unite Move]], it will Mega Evolve. When Mega Evolved, various aspects of the Pokémon are changed. The Pokémon's Ability is changed and their basic attacks and/or moves are upgraded in some way. Like Mewtwo, the Mega Evolution only lasts for a limited time and the Pokémon are also required to hold their respective Mega Stones as a held item.<br />

====[[Pokémon Frienda]]====<br />
Introduced during the [[Set 5 (Frienda)|fifth set]], Mega Evolution is one of the main mechanics that can be assigned to a Frienda Pick, similarly to [[Z-Move|Z-Moves]] and the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. <br />
<br />
At the start of each attacking turn, the player will be prompted with a '''Mega Evolution Chance!''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカチャンス！'''If the player decides to Mega Evolve their Pokémon, they will be presented with a rhythm game-esque "highway" of Mega Evolution marks and will be challenged to touch the Mega Evolution mark at the bottom of the screen as they intersect. Doing so accurately will increase the Pokémon's '''Mega Evolution Power''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカパワー'''). A total of five Mega Evolution marks will move down, and if the player is accurate enough with at least two marks, the Pokémon will Mega Evolve. Additionally, if the player uses the real-world Pokémon MEGA RING accessory, they will skip the requirement of needing at least two successful marks to activate mega evolution, and will be able to exceed the previous maximum power of Mega Evolution for an even stronger boost.<br />
<br />
When a Mega Evolved Pokémon attacks, the Attack Roulette will apply a '''Mega Evolution Bonus!''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカボーナス！''') and upgrade the largest value to a double-size rainbow-colored space with a value equal to the Mega Evolution Power attained. The size of the rainbow-colored space will be increased even further with the Pokémon MEGA RING. A Pokémon will remain in its Mega Evolved form for as long as it is able to battle and only one Pokémon may Mega Evolve per session.<br />
<br />

====[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]====<br />
{{SSB|Charizard}} and {{SSB|Lucario}}'s [[Final Smash]]es are both Mega Evolution, which transforms them into Mega Charizard X and Mega Lucario, respectively. This Mega Evolution acts as a temporary power-up for the duration of the Final Smash.<br />
<br />
{{SSB|Mewtwo}}'s Final Smash is {{m|Psystrike}}, which has it Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y then use Psystrike.<br />
<br />
Mega Venusaur and Mega Blastoise appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, Mega {{p|Blaziken}}, Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}}, Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Lucario}}, Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.<br />

<br />
Mega Charizard X, Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Lucario, and Mega {{p|Diancie}} appear as {{sbw|Spirit}}s.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Shuffle===<br />
{{main|Mega Evolution (Shuffle)}}<br />
Before a Pokémon's Mega Evolution can be used in [[Pokémon Shuffle]], its respective [[Mega Stone]] must be obtained (or in {{p|Rayquaza}}'s case, the [[File:Meteorite Shuffle.png|link=]] [[Meteorite]]). Methods to obtain a Mega Stone include:<br />
* Defeating a Pokémon's Mega-Evolved form in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle, usually at the end of each {{DL|Stage (Shuffle)|Main stage|main stage area}}.<br />
* Completing certain objectives on [[Mission Card]]s.<br />
* Reaching certain {{OBP|Trainer rank|Shuffle}}s by catching several different species of Pokémon.<br />
* Achieving a high rank in a [[competitive stage]].<br />
* Clearing certain milestone stages in an [[escalation battle]].<br />
<br />
The Pokémon placed in the first position (furthest to the left) when selecting {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Support Pokémon}} will Mega Evolve after the player fills the Mega Gauge. This is filled by matching the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, or by matching Pokémon with the {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost}}({{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost+|+}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost++|++}}) {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}}s who are of the same [[type]] as the Pokémon being Mega Evolved. The size of the Mega Gauge depends on the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, with each Pokémon requiring different numbers of icons to be matched to fill its gauge. The maximum amount of icons needed to fill the gauge can be permanently decreased by using [[File:Mega Speedup.png|20px|link=]] Mega Speedup {{DL|List of items in Pokémon Shuffle|Enhancements}}, with each Pokémon having a different maximum amount of Mega Speedups they can take.<br />
<br />
Once a Pokémon is Mega Evolved, its skill is replaced by its Mega Effect for the remainder of the battle. Mega Effect varies between Pokémon.<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon Rumble World]]===<br />
The player gains the ability to Mega Evolve their Pokémon after completing the challenge "Raid of the Mighty General", then receiving the Special Stone Shop and a Mega Key from the rewards section of the ordinary shop. [[Mega Stone]]s for currently owned Pokémon can be bought and immediately attached to its corresponding Pokémon using the Special Stone Shop. The first Mega Stone of the player's choice is free (unless either the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]] is chosen instead) and every one after it costs 5 Poké Diamonds. During a battle, Mega Evolution can be performed by tapping the Mega Evolution button using a Pokémon equipped with a Mega Stone in battle. Mega Evolution can be used again on any Pokémon in the same battle, unlike in the main games.<br />
<br />
Mega-Evolved Pokémon revert after a completed trip, or when they are defeated or switched out. Mega Evolving will send out a shockwave that damages enemy Pokémon. This shockwave is capable of defeating and tipping over opposing Pokémon. Additionally, it also resets any negative status conditions or status changes the Pokémon had before Mega Evolving.<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===<br />
{{Incomplete|section|Information for Stat modifiers while Mega Evolved}}<br />
<br />
====[[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]====<br />
[[File:Mega Evolution ingame PSMD.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Evolution in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]<br />
[[File:Berserk PSMD.png|thumb|250px|Mega Alakazam in Berserk mode]]<br />
Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to become more powerful, attack multiple enemies, and break down walls. To achieve Mega Evolution, the player must find an [[File:MDBag Awakening Emera VI Sprite.png]] [[Emera#List of emeras|Awakening Emera]] in a Dungeon. These [[Emera]]s can be attached to a Looplet of a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, causing it to Mega Evolve immediately. A Looplet attached with an Awakening emera will have a rainbow glow [[File:MDBag Looplet 3 VI Sprite.png]]. Should it be given to {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}}, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.<br />
<br />
A bar will appear above the Mega-Evolved Pokémon after it transforms and will slowly start to fill up. As long as the bar is present, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will keep their form even when moving to the next floor. Once the bar is filled, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will go into [[Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)#Berserk|Berserk mode]]. In Berserk mode, the Pokémon will move around and use a powerful attack on any Pokémon surrounding it, friend and foe alike. This will go away after a while, and the Pokémon will revert to normal. When Mega Evolved, its [[regular attack]] will get a huge boost in power and range, destroy walls, and reveal purple sparkling spots on the floor which can be picked up for an item.<br />
<br />
Attaching an Awakening Emera to a Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve increases its stats by a lot and give it different boosts. Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve with an Awakening Emera attached will not go into Berserk mode.<br />
<br />
Awakening Emeras are hard to find and appear randomly in dungeons; like other Emeras, they will disappear if they are not reached in time.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]]====<br />
Mega Evolution returns in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, and in this game is achieved by eating an Empowerment Seed. Mega-Evolved Pokémon also have all of the bonuses granted by the Awakened status: linked moves always result in critical hits, moves will never miss, and moves will ignore unfavorable type matchups. Compared to the Awakened status, the only additional bonus Mega Evolution grants is the potential to change a Pokémon's type and ability.<br />
<br />
As in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, if {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}} Mega Evolves, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.<br />
<br />
Some bosses will also undergo Mega Evolution: <br />
* During {{p|Rayquaza}}'s rematch or Mewtwo's boss fight, both will Mega Evolve once their health drops below one half of their total. Mewtwo will Mega Evolve randomly into Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y. <br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon Picross]]===<br />
Once a player purchases a Mega Pencil from [[Professor Tetra]] for 500 Picrites, puzzles for Mega Evolutions can be solved. Only one Mega Evolution can be set at one time, and they cannot be brought alongside their normal forms. Their skills are higher ranked than their normal counterpart, and they can be used on larger puzzles.<br />
<br />
===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===<br />
{{pokken|Lucario}}, {{pokken|Garchomp}}, {{pokken|Gardevoir}}, {{pokken|Gengar}}, {{pokken|Charizard}}, {{pokken|Blaziken}}, {{pokken|Sceptile}}, {{pokken|Scizor}}, {{pokken|Blastoise}}, {{pokken|Mewtwo}}, and [[Shadow Mewtwo]] are able to Mega Evolve through Synergy Burst, with Charizard and both of the Mewtwo Mega Evolving into their X forms. Mega Evolution can be triggered whenever a Pokémon capable of it has its Synergy Gauge filled up to the max during a battle. The Mega-Evolved Pokémon will revert to its regular form once it has used up all of its [[Synergy]] power.<br />
<br />
In addition, every time when Shadow Mewtwo is fought against in the game's story mode, it will Mega Evolve before the battle begins and stay in this state for the entire fight.<br />
<br />
On the [[Dragon's Nest]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} appears in the form of both an enormous statue alongside the battle arena and a drawing on the ground of the battle arena. On the [[Old Ferrum Town (Winter)]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Swampert}} appears in the form of a giant snow sculpture. Mega Rayquaza itself is also a Support Pokémon available as part of the Pokkén Tournament DX Battle Pack.<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]]===<br />
{{main|Pokémon ex (TCG Pocket)|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon ex}}<br />
Mega Evolution Pokémon appear in [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]] as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon ex''' cards, a variation of {{TCGP|Pokémon ex}}, debuting in the [[Mega Rising (TCG Pocket)|Mega Rising]] expansion. Mega Evolution Pokémon ex cards in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket are designed to be similar to their counterparts in the physical [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], with yellow names and a black-and-yellow {{TCGP Icon|Mega ex}} symbol next to them. When a player's Mega Evolution Pokémon ex is Knocked Out, the opponent earns 3 points, thereby instantly winning the game.<br />

===''Pokémon the Series''===<br />
====''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''====<br />
* In ''[[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'', the first Mega Evolution in {{pkmn|animated series}}-related media was featured, where {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} was shown to be capable of changing between its regular [[form]] and Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} Y, in which its speed was dramatically boosted, being capable of moving faster than the blink of an eye. The same Mewtwo also played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', once again demonstrating its Mega Evolution capabilities. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, this Mewtwo seemed to be capable of Mega Evolving without the use of a [[Mega Stone]]. However, because the concept of Mega Evolution had not been announced at the time of the movie's release, this transformation remains unnamed in the movie. Some Japanese promotional material for the movie as well as its {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation}} referred to it as Mewtwo's ''Awakened Form'' (覚醒した姿).<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクト ミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref><br />

* In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', a Mega {{p|Ampharos}} and a Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appeared as silhouettes while {{an|Professor Sycamore}} told Ash, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} about the concept of Mega Evolution.<br />
* In ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Alain]] was featured traveling across the [[Kalos]] [[region]] with his Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X, challenging other Mega Evolution Trainers.

Later, a {{an|Diancie}} Mega Evolved in order to protect the [[Allearth Forest]] from {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restore the [[Diamond Domain]] by creating a new Heart Diamond. At the end of the movie, it was shown that a diamond {{p|Diancie}} had created and given to Bonnie earlier caused it to Mega Evolve, acting as a Key Stone.<br />

The final Trainer of the row was the Kalos Elite Four member [[Malva]], who used a Mega {{p|Houndoom}}. At the end of the episode, Alain was also seen battling a Trainer with a Mega {{p|Banette}}.<br />
* In ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', a Mega {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} appeared under the ownership of a [[Nurse Joy]].<br />

A Mega Wave evolved Mega Heracross and Mega Pinsir were also loaned to Team Rocket.<br />

<br />

*In ''[[PS550|X-actly What They Wanted]]'', when [[Team Flare]] members [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]] arrived in [[Vaniville Town]] in order to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Mega Ring]], the commotion caused X's baby {{p|Kangaskhan}}, [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]], to react with X's Mega Ring and Mega Evolve into Mega Kangaskhan, easily defeating Aliana's {{p|Pyroar}} and Mable's {{p|Houndoom}}.<br />

In ''Heracross Transforms'', Gurkinn Mega Evolved his {{p|Heracross}}.<br />
*In ''[[568|Connecting with Gardevoir]]'', during a flashback of Korrina's succession ceremony, [[Gurkinn's students|three Successors]] demonstrated Mega Evolution to her by Mega Evolving their {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Scizor}}, and {{p|Alakazam}}, respectively.<br />

*In ''[[PS595|Magearna Moves]]'', [[Gurkinn's students]] Mega Evolved their {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Banette}}, and {{p|Abomasnow}} for Trevor to study.<br />

*In [[PS616]], {{adv|Giovanni}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Giovanni|Beedrill}} as part of his explanation that the meteoroid headed for Hoenn may be housing a Pokémon inside of it, since Mega Evolution is only supposed to work within a battle. Later, Sapphire and Ruby Mega Evolved [[Kirly]] and [[Rara]] into Mega {{p|Gallade}} and Mega {{p|Gardevoir}} respectively during a brief battle against each other.<br />
*In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', Ruby and Sapphire Mega Evolved {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} in order to have it destroy [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. Later, Ruby Mega Evolved {{p|Diancie}} for a Pokémon Contest Spectacular Performance.<br />

===Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!===<br />
{{sectionstub}}<br />
<br />
===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===<br />
In [[Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King]], several main characters' Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution, including {{OBP|Akira|LDK}}'s {{p|Charizard}}, {{OBP|Koji|LDK}}'s {{p|Garchomp}}, and [[Taichi]]'s {{p|Ampharos}}.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Omega Ruby Crimson Passion and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Indigo Wisdom===<br />

<br />
===Pokémon Journeys===<br />
During a flashback in ''[[JNM10|Toughing It Out!]]'', it was revealed that Ash fought {{an|Korrina}}'s Mega {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} in a [[World Coronation Series]] battle.<br />
<br />
==In the TCG==<br />
===XY Series===<br />
{{main|Pokémon-EX|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon}}<br />
In the XY Series, Mega Evolution first appears in the {{TCG|XY}} set in the form of '''{{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Mega Evolution Pokémon}}''', also known as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon-EX''', a subset of {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}. Their names have {{Mega}} as a prefix and {{EX}} as a suffix. They additionally have a distinct stage of "MEGA", which serve as an Evolution of Pokémon-EX cards and are played by putting them on top of their corresponding Basic Pokémon-EX. Mega Evolving a Pokémon immediately ends a player's turn, unless that Pokémon has its specific Spirit Link {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}} attached to it.<br />
<br />
[[Atsushi Nagashima]], the game director for the TCG, has stated that Mega Evolution is exclusive to Pokémon-EX because it would be impractical to evolve a single Pokémon three times during a game, and implementing Mega Evolution in that manner would constrain deck-building.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-pokemon-cards-are-made/1100-6459450/ How Pokemon Cards Are Made | GameSpot]</ref> The team had considered restricting players to one Mega-Evolved Pokémon per deck, but rejected this idea, as they wanted to enable players to build decks based around Mega Evolution.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140101195743/https://www.pokemon-card.com/blog/2013/12/000367.html クリエイター ～ゲームディレクター長島敦スペシャル対談～ | pokemon-card.com,] archived January 1st, 2014</ref><br />
<br />
===Sun & Moon Series===<br />
In {{TCG|Unified Minds}} and {{TCG|Cosmic Eclipse}}, two {{TCG|TAG TEAM}} {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} were printed that feature Mega-Evolved Pokémon as one of the two members of the tag team. These cards have no special mechanics outside of those which are part of the TAG TEAM mechanics.<br />
<br />
===Mega Evolution Series===<br />
{{main|Pokémon ex|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon ex}}<br />
Mega-Evolved Pokémon return in the English {{TCG|Mega Evolution}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Mega Brave/Mega Symphonia|Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia}} expansions) as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon ex''', a subset of {{TCG|Pokémon ex}}. They have a black-and-yellow {{Mega ex}} symbol next to their names. Unlike Mega Evolution Pokémon-EX from the XY series, these Pokémon ex share the same Evolution Stage as their base [[form]] — for example, {{TCG ID|Mega Evolution|Mega Gardevoir ex|60}} evolves from Kirlia and is a Stage 2 Pokémon. While they feature stronger attacks and more HP than normal Pokémon ex of their Evolution Stage, they also feature the Mega Evolution Pokémon ex rule, causing them to grant three Prize Cards when they are Knocked Out, rather than the typical two for Pokémon ex.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* There is at least one Mega-Evolved {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from every [[generation]] and of every [[type]].<br />
** Currently, [[Generation III]] has both the most Mega Evolutions and the most Pokémon capable of Mega Evolving (with 22 and 21, respectively), while [[Generation VIII]] has the fewest overall (with {{p|Falinks|one}}).<br />
** {{t|Dragon}} has the most Mega Evolutions (with 17), while {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Ice}} are tied for having the fewest (with five each).<br />
** No Mega-Evolved Pokémon has {{t|Flying}} as its primary type.<br />
* Only fully evolved Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution.<br />
** {{p|Floette}} is the only exception to this, though only in its {{form|Floette|Eternal Flower}} [[form]], which is incapable of evolving into or from any Pokémon.<br />
* {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Absol}}, {{p|Lucario}}, and {{p|Garchomp}} all have more than one Mega Evolution, accessible through distinct [[Mega Stone]]s.<br />
** Similarly, {{p|Magearna}} and {{p|Tatsugiri}} have different appearances while Mega-Evolved depending on their form (Magearna's regular and Original Color forms and Tatsugiri's {{form|Tatsugiri|Curly, Droopy, and Stretchy Forms}}), but are nonetheless considered to have only one Mega Evolution each.<br />
* All Pokémon that evolve with a [[Dawn Stone]] are capable of Mega Evolution.<br />
* 74 Pokémon retain their original type combination upon Mega Evolving.<br />
** {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, Mewtwo (into Mega Mewtwo X), {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Feraligatr}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Sceptile}}, Chimecho, {{p|Absol}} (into Mega Absol Z), {{p|Lopunny}}, and {{p|Audino}} all become dual-type upon Mega Evolving.<br />
** {{p|Aggron}} and {{p|Garchomp}} (into Mega Garchomp Z) both become single-type upon Mega Evolving.<br />
** Charizard (into Mega Charizard X), {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Staraptor}}, {{p|Barbaracle}}, and {{p|Golisopod}} all change one of their types to a new one upon Mega Evolving.<br />
*** Notably, Staraptor is the only such case in which it changes its primary type, rather than its secondary one.<br />
* Mega Feraligatr, Mega Audino, and Mega Golisopod are the only Mega Evolutions that do not share any [[weakness]]es with their normal forms.<br />
* Some Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution also have access to other forms or {{pkmn|battle}} mechanics:<br />
** Raichu and {{p|Slowbro}} are the only Pokémon to have a Mega Evolution and a [[regional form]].<br />
** Raichu, between its [[Kanto]]nian and [[Alolan form]], is the only Pokémon to have Mega Evolutions and an exclusive [[Z-Move]], {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}}.<br />
** The fully evolved [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] and {{p|Gengar}} are the only Pokémon that can both Mega Evolve and [[Gigantamax]].<br />
* Some Mega-Evolved Pokémon have unique attributes:<br />
** Mega Altaria is the only one with a [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|unique type combination]].<br />
** Mega {{p|Zygarde}} is the only one whose moveset changes upon Mega Evolving, with {{m|Nihil Light}} replacing {{m|Core Enforcer}}.<br />
* {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolving.<br />
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon to not have a designated Mega Stone, as it doesn't need one to Mega Evolve in the core series games that include Mega Evolution, instead being required to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.<br />
** This makes Rayquaza the only Pokémon that can have a different held item while Mega Evolving, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.<br />
** It is, furthermore, the only Pokémon to lack the message "(The opposing) <Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to its [[Key Stone]]!" when it Mega Evolves, as it has the message "<player>'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza!" instead.<br />
** In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], Rayquaza needs the player to get the [[Meteorite]] for it to Mega Evolve.<br />
<br />
===Designs===<br />
* Design-wise, multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon seem to incorporate traits from their previous [[evolution]]ary stages:<br />
** Mega {{p|Venusaur}} restores patches of dark teal spots on its face, similar to what {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Ivysaur}} had around its body.<br />
** Continuing the design traits that both {{p|Charmeleon}} and {{p|Charizard}} had, as well as some elements of {{p|Charmander}} before its [[Generation III]] redesign, Mega Charizard Y features numerous spikes and horns along its neck and tail.<br />
** Both of {{p|Raichu}}'s Mega Evolutions have {{p|Pikachu}}-like features:<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-gb/news/mega-dimension-hoopa The Mythical Pokémon Hoopa Holds the Key to the Story | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Mega Raichu X has red cheeks, bright yellow fur, and a forked zig-zag tail, while Mega Raichu Y has Pikachu's body shape, ears, and tail.<br />
** Mega {{p|Clefable}} has dark pink, oval cheek markings resembling those of {{p|Cleffa}} and {{p|Clefairy}}.<br />
** Mega {{p|Dragonite}} gains features distinctive of {{p|Dragonair}}, such as the wings on its head and the pearl on its tail.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-dragonite Mega Dragonite | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Furthermore, its Shiny is azure-colored, which calls back to {{p|Dratini}} and Dragonair's regular colorations.<br />
** Mega {{p|Feraligatr}}'s dorsal fin resembles a gigantic {{p|Totodile}}'s head, leading to it being referred to as a "Totodile mask".<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-feraligatr Mega Totodile | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref><br />
** Mega {{p|Ampharos}}'s tail and head are covered in white fur,<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Ampharos Mega Ampharos | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150427074403/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Ampharos archived])</ref> which is the wool it originally had as a {{p|Mareep}} and {{p|Flaaffy}} that has regrown due to the excess energy from Mega Evolution stimulating its genes.<br />
** Like its base form, Mega {{p|Tyranitar}}'s chest plate, back spikes, and eye-like marking resemble {{p|Pupitar}}. The horn atop its head similarly resembles {{p|Larvitar}}'s own, and the red eyes and diamonds reference Larvitar as well.<br />
** Mega {{p|Aggron}}'s head plate is reminiscent of {{p|Lairon}}'s in reverse, while base form Aggron's is reminiscent of {{p|Aron}}'s.<br />
** Mega {{p|Chimecho}} grows a golden frame with fake eyes and arms reminiscent of {{p|Chingling}}.<br />
** Mega {{p|Salamence}} has shorter forelimbs and longer hind limbs than its base form, as well as a smooth lower jaw, all of which bring to mind {{p|Bagon}}. The armor encasing its body and substantial Defense increase bear homage to {{p|Shelgon}}; its green sclera likewise evoke Shelgon's yellow sclera.<br />
** Mega {{p|Metagross}} is said to be the result of one Metagross, one {{p|Metang}}, and two {{p|Beldum}} linking up. Its body plan strongly resembles Metang's as well.<br />
** Mega {{p|Scolipede}}'s lavender-colored armor is reminiscent of {{p|Whirlipede}}; this holds true for the violet armor of its Shiny coloration.<br />
** Mega {{p|Eelektross}}'s arms are covered by mucus in the shape of {{p|Eelektrik}}, named "false Eelektrik".<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-eelektross Mega Eelektross | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref><br />
** Mega {{p|Glimmora}}'s main body resembles {{p|Glimmet}}.<br />
* Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} features a {{wp|Delta (letter)|delta}} motif, matching the designs of [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} (which incorporate the Greek letters {{wp|alpha}} and {{wp|omega}}, respectively). As the letter delta resembles a triangle when capitalized, it may also connect to {{p|Deoxys}}, which is known to assume a triangle-shaped form when inactive.<br />
* No Mega-Evolved Pokémon has [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]], even if they Mega Evolve from a Pokémon that has one.<br />
** For Pokémon with significant differences due to gender, the Mega-Evolved form is a combination of the male and female forms: Mega {{p|Pyroar}} combines the male and female forms' respective manes into one, while Mega {{p|Meowstic}} resembles a {{wp|Chimera (genetics)|chimeric}} fusion of the male and female forms.<br />
** While technically different species, Mega {{p|Latias}} and Mega {{p|Latios}} resemble one another much more strongly than their base forms. Additionally, Latias grows more than Latios when Mega Evolving, which brings them closer together in height and weight.<br />
* In contrast to the other [[Paradox Pokémon]], {{p|Roaring Moon}} has elements of Mega {{p|Salamence}} in its design instead of its regular form.<br />
** Roaring Moon has been compared specifically to Salamence "when they undergo a certain phenomenon" (i.e. Mega Salamence) in a copy of {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]], though it is left uncertain if there is any connection between them. Roaring Moon's [[Pokédex entry]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] references the Occulture article and Mega Evolution as well.<br />
** An article on the English Press Website for [[The Pokémon Company International]] on Pokémon Legends: Z-A's March 2025 [[Nintendo Direct]] trailer accidentally labeled one of the files corresponding to Mega Salamence as "Roaring Moon". This was fixed later that day.<ref>[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/New-Pokemon-Legends-Z-A-Details-Revealed-During-Nintendo-Direct The Pokémon Company International Official Press Site: New Pokémon Legends: Z-A Details Revealed During Nintendo Direct] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20250327154906/https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/New-Pokemon-Legends-Z-A-Details-Revealed-During-Nintendo-Direct archived])</ref><br />
<br />
===Core series===<br />
* The Japanese and Korean logos for {{g|X and Y}} include the Mega Evolution sigil.<br />
* At least one Mega Evolution of every type was introduced in each core series game that introduced new Mega Evolutions, with the exception of the {{t|Electric}} type in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.<br />
** If counted on its own, the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] for {{g|Legends: Z-A}} also did not introduce a Mega Evolution of each type, with no new Mega-Evolved Pokémon being {{t|Normal}} type. However, counting {{p|Staraptor}} (who loses its {{type|Normal}} typing upon Mega Evolving) at least one Pokémon of every type is given a new Mega Evolution.<br />
* As of [[Generation IX]], there are nine {{Abilities}} {{cat|Mega Evolution-exclusive Abilities|exclusive}} to Mega-Evolved Pokémon.<br />
* The most common Abilities among Mega-Evolved Pokémon are {{a|Levitate}}, {{a|Magic Bounce}}, and {{a|Tough Claws}}, tied with four Pokémon each.<br />
* Due to Mega Evolution being absent from {{g|Sword and Shield}} through {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the status of some Abilities was affected:<br />
** {{a|Aerilate}}, {{a|Parental Bond}}, and {{a|Delta Stream}} became unusable despite existing in the game data.<br />
** {{a|Refrigerate}}, {{a|Mega Launcher}}, and {{a|Pixilate}} became the signature Ability of {{p|Amaura}}'s evolutionary line, {{p|Clauncher}}'s evolutionary line, and {{p|Sylveon}}, respectively.<br />
* Mega {{p|Latias}} and Mega {{p|Latios}} are programmed into Pokémon X and Y; as a result, they are not banned by the Kalos rules from battles, and their [[Mega Stone]]s are not banned from trades from Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire to Pokémon X and Y, despite being otherwise unavailable in those games.<br />
* In the Pokémon X and Y demo, the message "''An immense new power has risen in Mewtwo!''" would be displayed before Mega Evolving. In the final game, the message displayed is "''<Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to <Trainer>'s <Key Stone item>!''" Additionally, Mega Mewtwo Y is referred to as simply Mega Mewtwo.<br />
* According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in his interview in the Nintendo Dream magazine, {{p|Flygon}} was intended to get a Mega Evolution in Pokémon X and Y, but the [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Pokémon designs|idea was later dropped]] due to him experiencing an artist's block.<ref>[https://www.pokebeach.com/2015/04/mega-flygon-excluded-from-xyoras-because-of-artists-block Mega Flygon Excluded from XY/ORAS Because of Artist's Block | PokeBeach], translation of Nintendo Dream interview scan</ref><br />
<br />
===Animated series===<br />
* If not counting {{pkmn|movie}}s or the [[Mega Evolution Specials]], only 37 out of 93 Mega Evolutions have appeared in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.<br />
<!--These are the Pokémon that have yet to introduce their Mega-Evolved form in the animated series: Mega Blastoise, Mega Beedrill, Mega Pidgeot, Mega Gengar, Mega Pinsir, Mega Mewtwo X, Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Scizor, Mega Heracross, Mega Swampert, Mega Manectric, Mega Sharpedo, Mega Banette, Mega Salamence, Mega Latias, Mega Latios, Mega Lopunny, Mega Gallade, and Mega Diancie, and all Mega Evolutions introduced in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, except for Mega Raichu X, Mega Raichu Y, Mega Starmie, Mega Dragonite, Mega Lucario Z, Mega Hawlucha, Mega Zygarde, and Mega Falinks.--><br />
** Mega {{p|Dragonite}} is the only Mega-Evolved Pokémon to have debuted in the animated series before the official release of the game it first appears.<br />
** Some Mega-Evolved Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] have only debuted in later series:<br />
*** Mega {{p|Steelix}}, Mega {{p|Aggron}}, and Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}} made their animated series debut in {{aniseries|SM}}.<br />
*** Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Alakazam}}, Mega {{p|Slowbro}}, Mega {{p|Camerupt}}, and Mega {{p|Altaria}} made their animated series debut in {{aniseries|JN}}.<br />
*** Mega {{p|Sableye}}, Mega {{p|Tyranitar}}, Mega {{p|Medicham}}, Mega {{p|Aerodactyl}}, Mega {{p|Glalie}}, and Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} made their animated series debut in {{aniseries|HZ}}.<br />
* Five Mega-Evolved Pokémon have appeared as {{Shiny}} Pokémon in the animated series, outside of appearances in movies or specials, those being Mega {{p|Metagross}}, Mega {{p|Gyarados}}, Mega {{p|Lucario}} Z, Mega Rayquaza, and Mega {{p|Zygarde}}.<br />
** Of those, only Mega Gyarados has appeared both in its regular and Shiny colorations.<br />
* In {{aniseries|PTS}}, all {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] that are capable of Mega Evolving can do so without the need of a [[Mega Stone]], [[Key Stone]], or {{pkmn|Trainer}}.<br />
* As of ''Pokémon Horizons: The Series'', the animated series has pitted a Mega-Evolved Pokémon against each of the battle mechanics introduced in subsequent generations.<br />
** In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', {{an|Brock}}'s Mega {{TP|Brock|Steelix}} and {{an|Misty}}'s Mega {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} battled against [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]], respectively, with their Z-Moves ({{m|Inferno Overdrive}} and {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}}).<br />
** In ''[[JN086|A Battle of Mega Versus Max]]'', {{Ash}}'s Mega {{AP|Lucario}} battled [[Bea]]'s Gigantamax {{p|Machamp}}.<br />
** In ''[[JN116|Pride of a Champion!]]'', [[Diantha]]'s Mega {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} battled {{an|Lance}}'s [[Dynamax]] {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}.<br />
** In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', [[Roy]]'s Mega {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} battled {{an|Nemona}}'s {{type|Fighting}} {{Tera}} {{p|Pawmot}}.<br />
