The Zygarde Cube allows the player to find and collect Zygarde Cells and Cores. Cells and Cores can be found in most locations in [[Alola]], but until the player has the Zygarde Cube, none of them will be visible. Cells and Cores appear as small sparks of light on the ground, with Cells shining green and Cores shining pink. In Pokémon Sun and Moon, there are 95 Cells and 5 Cores to be found across the Alola region. The Zygarde Cube can hold a maximum of 999 Cells and Cores (by using the Reassembly Unit's separation function).

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], Cells and Cores can be found in most locations in [[Alola]], but none are present until the player obtains the Zygarde Cube. There are 95 Cells and 5 Cores to be found across the Alola region. They appear as small sparks of light on the ground, with Cells shining green and Cores shining pink. If the Zygarde Cube is full, the player can still collect Cells and Cores from the field.


If the player selects the "Check" option on the Zygarde Cube, it will tell them how many Cells and Cores they have collected from the locations in their game and how many they currently have in total. As the player reaches certain collection milestones, [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] will contact the player to explain the Zygarde Cube, Cells, and Cores.

As the player reaches certain collection milestones, [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] will contact the player to explain the Zygarde Cube, Cells, and Cores.


====Reassembly Unit====
In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], no Zygarde Cells or Cores are found in the field, and the player obtains the Zygarde Cube after catching the 50% Forme Zygarde in [[Resolution Cave]] and obtaining a 10% Forme Zygarde from Dexio afterwards, with the Cube already containing 40 Cells and Cores when obtained. This effectively gives the player 100 Cells and Cores to use with the Reassembly Unit (if they separate at least one of the Zygarde).
The Reassembly Unit is found on {{rt|16|Alola}} in the Alola region. The Reassembly Unit can assemble a Zygarde using Cells and Cores from the Zygarde Cube or separate a Zygarde into Cells and Cores and store them in the Zygarde Cube. Separating a Zygarde is much the same as [[released Pokémon|releasing]] a Pokémon: it is essentially lost, including any moves it learned or [[Ribbon]]s it earned. However, the Reassembly Unit can also add Cells and Cores from the Zygarde Cube to a Zygarde already in the player's [[party]] to upgrade its form without affecting other data.


The Reassembly Unit will always use the maximum amount of Cells and Cores it can in assembly operations.
=====Cell locations in Sun and Moon=====
* 10 Cells/Cores: Zygarde 10% Forme with {{a|Aura Break}}
{{main|Zygarde Cell#Locations|Zygarde Cell → Locations}}
* 50 Cells/Cores: Zygarde 50% Forme with Aura Break
* 100 Cells/Cores: Zygarde 50% Forme with {{a|Power Construct}}
Although the Reassembly Unit refers to the amounts it will use in percent values, this is based on the assumption that the Zygarde Cube can only hold 100 Cells and Cores, when it can in fact hold more. That is, if the Zygarde Cube holds 200 Cells and Cores, it will still use only 100 to create a Power Construct Zygarde, not 100% (all 200).


If a Zygarde from the player's party is combined with Cells and Cores from the Zygarde Cube, the assembly will require fewer Cells and Cores in accordance with the Zygarde's form (e.g., upgrading a 10% Forme Zygarde to 50% Forme will only require 40 Cells and Cores). If Zygarde is assembled completely from Cells and Cores from the Zygarde Cube, its level depends on whether the player has become the {{pkmn|Champion}}. Before the player has become Champion, an assembled Zygarde will be level 30, but after, it will be level 50.
=====Teachable moves=====
{{main|Zygarde Core}}
The Zygarde Cube can teach five moves to Zygarde. In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the player must find specific [[Zygarde Core]]s to be able to teach each move. In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, all five moves are teachable as soon as the Zygarde Cube is received.
* {{m|Core Enforcer}}
* {{m|Thousand Arrows}}
* {{m|Thousand Waves}}
* {{m|Extreme Speed}}
* {{m|Dragon Dance}}


The Reassembly Unit can perform operations on a Zygarde even if it is an [[outsider Pokémon|outsider]]. Through separating one or more outsider Zygarde, it is possible for the Zygarde Cube to hold up to 999 total Cells and Cores. Even if the Zygarde Cube has already reached this capacity, Zygarde Cells and Cores can still be collected around Alola and the Reassembly Unit can still separate Zygarde, but the number of stored Cells and Cores will not increase.
====Generation VIII====
 
The Zygarde Cube no longer teaches Zygarde moves. Zygarde can instead learn its [[signature move]]s any time as [[level]] 1 moves via {{gal|Jack}}'s [[Move Reminder|Move Reminding]] service, and {{m|Dragon Dance}} via [[TR51]]; it is no longer possible for it to learn {{m|Extreme Speed}} in Generation VIII. The Zygarde Cube can be used to change Zygarde's form between its 10% and 50% Formes and to change its Ability between {{a|Aura Break}} and {{a|Power Construct}} ([[Ability Capsule]]s and [[Ability Patch]]es have no effect on Zygarde).
The Reassembly Unit will not perform any operations on a Zygarde with Power Construct. The Zygarde Cube can freely change the form of a Power Construct Zygarde between 10% Forme and 50% Forme.
 
====Teachable moves====
Depending on the Zygarde Cores that the player has found, the Zygarde Cube will be able to teach certain moves to any Zygarde. These Cores cannot be obtained by separating outsider Zygarde.

The Zygarde Cube (Japanese: ジガルデキューブ Zygarde Cube) is a Key Item introduced in Generation VII. It holds Zygarde Cells and Cores.

A Reassembly Unit can use the Cells and Cores in the Zygarde Cube to assemble a new Zygarde. The Zygarde Cube can also memorize the moves retained by Cores it takes in and teach them to any Zygarde.

The Zygarde Cube was apparently found by Professor Sycamore.

In the core series games

Effect

Generation VII

The Zygarde Cube stores Zygarde Cells and Cores for the player to use with the Reassembly Unit. The Zygarde Cube can hold a maximum of 999 Cells and Cores (by using the Reassembly Unit's separation function).

In Pokémon Sun and Moon, Cells and Cores can be found in most locations in Alola, but none are present until the player obtains the Zygarde Cube. There are 95 Cells and 5 Cores to be found across the Alola region. They appear as small sparks of light on the ground, with Cells shining green and Cores shining pink. If the Zygarde Cube is full, the player can still collect Cells and Cores from the field.

If the player selects the "Check" option on the Zygarde Cube, it will tell them how many Cells and Cores they have collected from the locations in their game and how many they currently have in total. As the player reaches certain collection milestones, Dexio and Sina will contact the player to explain the Zygarde Cube, Cells, and Cores.

In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, no Zygarde Cells or Cores are found in the field, and the player obtains the Zygarde Cube after catching the 50% Forme Zygarde in Resolution Cave and obtaining a 10% Forme Zygarde from Dexio afterwards, with the Cube already containing 40 Cells and Cores when obtained. This effectively gives the player 100 Cells and Cores to use with the Reassembly Unit (if they separate at least one of the Zygarde).
