Zygarde is a green and black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose form depends on the percentage of [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s it has gathered together. Zygarde's Cores and Cells do not have the power to battle alone and can only fight when combined to form Zygarde. Zygarde serves as the protector of the planet's ecosystem. Zygarde is shown to be capable of [[Land's Wrath (move)|gathering the energy of the land]] and focus it on its foes, damaging them. It has the ability to divide its cells from its body temporarily, using them as weapons, either as {{m|Thousand Arrows|arrows}} or {{m|Thousand Waves|waves}}.

Zygarde usually stays out of the sight of others. It has been referred to as a "guardian of the ecosystem"<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: :''"It is said this Legendary Pokémon is a guardian of the ecosystem."''</ref> due to its role to defend the world's order and the "'''Z'''"{{fact}} due to its name. Zygarde keeps a close watch on the planet and on its two counterparts {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}, ensuring the equilibrium of the planet and the cycle of life and death are kept in check. Normally, Zygarde avoids getting involved in conflicts unless the ecosystem is in grave danger. As seen in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', should Zygarde be affected by outside influence, its color changes from green to red. | ||

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

The Zygarde Core usually | The Zygarde Core remains in watch of the region, usually living in caves. The Cores have their own will and are sometimes able to act on their own. The Zygarde Core can order Zygarde Cells, commanding them to fly towards it to form Zygarde's body in order to protect the ecosystem.<ref name=CoresCells>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Zygarde’s Cores and Cells] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160814031551/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ archive])</ref> Zygarde Cores are capable of absorbing sunlight to regain their strength, can speak telepathically, communicate with other Cores, and use the Cells to observe the ecosystem, as depicted in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[XY095|Love Strikes! Eevee, Yikes!]]''. | ||
Zygarde Cells make up every other part of Zygarde and appear nearly identical to the Zygarde Core. Unlike the Core, it has a flat body and head. It has a green pupil, a simpler, unhooked tail, and a darker green, more elongated hexagon within its midsection. | Zygarde Cells make up every other part of Zygarde and appear nearly identical to the Zygarde Core.

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

The Complete Forme of Zygarde is formed when 100% of its Cells and Cores [[Power Construct (Ability)|come together]]. Zygarde Complete Forme contains separate Cores for each of its wings and its tail. In this case, each Core can make decisions and act independently of the others.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Zygarde Complete Forme] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143718/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ archive])</ref> In ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', Zygarde is shown capable of using the mouths of its tail and wings to [[Extreme Speed (move)|propel itself | The Complete Forme of Zygarde is formed when 100% of its Cells and Cores [[Power Construct (Ability)|come together]].

In the same episode, Zygarde Complete Forme is shown to restore an unbalanced ecosystem and weather back to normal. The opening on its chest can radiate enough energy to destroy everything around it. This form only appears to neutralize threats to the ecosystems or in response to an imbalance caused by Xerneas or Yveltal. | ||
