Legendary?

Isn't this a Legendary Pokémon? If so, why isn't it listed as such? --Wynd Fox 05:57, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Two possible reasons: either someone simply overlooked it or the staff is waiting for official confirmation of its legendary status before adding it. (Though it seems obvious that it's the Rayquaza/Giratina/Kyurem of this generation, there's always still the infinitesimal chance that Nintendo could be throwing us for a loop somehow.)

It's just been overlooked. It's a Legendary. Ataro (talk) 06:08, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Dex Trivia?

Is it notable that it's last both numerically in the National Dex and alphabetically? --Wynd Fox 19:39, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

I don't have an issue with it. --Pokemaster97 19:54, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Image origin

Where did this image come from, why does it not look like the usual Ken Sugimori art style, why doesn't it look like the other, front forward facing Zygarde pic I keep seeing next to Xerneas and Yveltal? Yamitora1 (talk) 08:46, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

It's not the official artwork, only a placeholder that is used for now (at least it seems so to me). It's the Global Link artwork as stated on the file's page. Արիանո 08:53, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
And the image you're talking is just fanart. Ataro (talk) 09:23, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Physical appearance

Given its underground habits, its partial insect-like appearance and the fact it sports tail-end cerci and six tiny limbs close to its head; I'd say Zygarde's design might've been inspired by a beetle larvae/grub, a Ground Beetle larva to be precise, given its shape. Would it be alright to add that to the origin section? --Jomarori (talk) 15:00, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

I don't see it as a larva, its more or less a serpent. Although with the mention of Zygote likely having some basis for its name, I am kind of thinking sperm cell. Not saying it looks like a sperm cell, at least not a human sperm cell. Yamitora1 (talk) 15:18, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Zygarde Etymology

Just looking at the naming trivia, I can't imagine that Garde is actually tied to the origins of its name. It's very serpent-like and clearly based on Norse mythology, so perhaps Zygote and Midgard - specifically the Midgard Serpent.

Position in Trio

Zygarde is in a Legendary trio with Xerneas an Yveltal, so it's "element" should fit with Creation and Destruction. Considering it's Pokédex entry, I think it's safe to say Xerneas = Creation, Yveltal = Destruction, and Zygarde = PRESERVATION. - unsigned comment from Conansboy (talkcontribs)

Which means that the trio is possibly based upon Hindu mythology.--Teamg9 (talk) 12:25, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

Catch rate

I doubt that Zygarde's catch rate is really 0. Is this a filler till that info is found, or an error? Reywas360 (talk) 13:17, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

It's a filler.--NOBODY (talk) 13:43, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Yggdrasil Trio

I'm finally starting to thing this, alongside Xerneas and Yveltal were based on Norse Mythology beasts in the Tree of Yggdrasil. They all represent Life, Death and Order as a whole. So should they be called the Yggdrasil Trio?--Duo2nd (talk) 02:41, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
