'''Zygarde''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジガルデ''' ''Zygarde'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} [[legendary Pokémon]].
'''Zygarde''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジガルデ''' ''Zygarde'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].
 
While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has three [[#Form data|forms]]: '''10% Forme''', '''50% Forme''', and '''Complete Forme'''.
 
Additionally, there are two basic components of Zygarde: '''[[Zygarde Core]]s''', which act as the brains of Zygarde, and '''[[Zygarde Cell]]s''', which compose Zygarde's forms and are non-sentient. Neither Zygarde Cores nor Zygarde Cells can use [[move]]s or are useful in battles by themselves. They are stored inside a [[Zygarde Cube]].
 
Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}. The Zygarde Cells, Zygarde Cores, Zygarde 10% Forme, and Zygarde Complete Forme were revealed in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine and later introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.
 
A [[Squishy|Zygarde Core]] played an important role in the {{pkmn|anime}}'s ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY|XY&Z]]'' arc.


It is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.
Zygarde, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.


==Biology==
==Biology==
Zygarde has a serpent-like body with a green and black pattern on it. There are black frills on the back of its head like a frilled lizard. Its eyes comprise four green hexagons like the compound eyes of of an insect. More green hexagons are on the front and back of its frills. These hexagons glow in certain patterns like a computer processing information. Its tail is flat and is black on top and green on the bottom. Its tail ends with five separate green tendrils.
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 is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Land's Wrath}}, {{m|Thousand Arrows}}, {{m|Thousand Waves}}, and {{m|Core Enforcer}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Aura Break}} and {{a|Power Construct}} as its {{Abilities}}.
 
===Forms===
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme, which are composed of [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s.

;Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells
[[File:Zygarde Core SM concept art.png|thumb|left|200px|Zyagrde Cores are individuals who can combine with Zygarde Cells to make a whole being]]
Zygarde Cores are the 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.
 
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 tend to be scattered around the [[Pokémon world]]. The Zygarde Cells form the rest of Zygarde's body and are only able to act on the Core's orders.<ref name=CoresCells/> The Zygarde Cells allows the Zygarde Core to observe the ecosystem, allowing them to see through their eyes, as depicted in ''Love Strikes! Eevee, Yikes!''. The Cells also have the ability to fly in amazing speed, allowing them to reach a Zygarde Core from far away.

;10% Forme
[[File:Zygarde 10 Percent SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The 10% Forme resembles a canine and has impressive speed]]
The 10% Forme has a relatively small canine body. It is primarily black with a green collar and a leash-like extension on its neck. Additional green markings include two hexagon markings on its chest, a small hexagon over each eye, the area around its mouth, and its front left paw. There is an elongated, red hexagon marking attached to the collar marking. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils and there is a thin, white line on its forehead. On each of its legs are hexagonal extensions: two on the back of each elbow, one behind each knee, and two on each hip. One of the hip extensions is longer than the other on each hip. Zygarde 10% Forme also has razor-sharp teeth.


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

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


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


==In the manga==
;Complete Forme
[[File:Zygarde Complete SM concept art.jpg|thumb|200px|Zygarde Complete Forme's complex biology]]
The Complete Forme has a large, humanoid body with a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's body. There are several flat protrusions around its head and triangular protrusions around its neck. These protrusions create a crown shape. On its face are three white hexagonal marks: one in the middle of its forehead with a line through it and two that act as eyes. There are an additional five green hexagons on its face: four along the bottom and one in the middle of a short protrusion on top. Each shoulder has two serpentine wings protruding from it. The wings all have an undulating pattern and a hexagon near the tip: blue on the right side and red on the left. There are multiple white protrusions on its body: three on each hand acting as claws, one on each knee, and one and the front of each foot. Additionally, there are green hexagons surrounding its wrists and two under the white protrusions on its knees and feet. Its abdomen has a vertical, hexagonal pattern with a thin, white line on either side. Across its chest is a thin, zigzagging opening that when opened, reveals five hexagons colored red, orange, white, cyan, and blue, respectively.


==In the TCG==
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]] by shooting beams out of them. In the same episode, Zygarde Complete Forme is shown to restore an unbalanced ecosystem and weather back to normal. The opening on its chest can radiate enough energy to destroy everything around it. This form only appears to neutralize threats to the ecosystems or in response to an imbalance caused by Xerneas or Yveltal.
<!--{{main|Zygarde (TCG)}}-->Zygarde has not yet been featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

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


{{evobox
;Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}
|sprite1=000
The [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change Forme"{{sup/7|SMUSUM}}/"Change form" function can change Zygarde with Power Construct between 10% Forme and 50% Forme. Since [[Generation VIII]], its "Change Ability" function can also change its Ability to Aura Break.
 
Any Zygarde with Power Construct will change to Complete Forme in battle if its [[HP]] drops below half. At the end of battle, a Complete Forme Zygarde will return to its original form with the same HP it ended the battle with (within its original form's maximum HP).

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

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

===Origin===
===Origin===
Zygarde's appearance is based on a serpent in the shape of the letter Z. It may also draw inspiration from {{wp|Níðhöggr}}, the serpent from the {{wp|Poetic Edda}}, which resided at the bottom of the world tree {{wp|Yggdrasill}} and gnawed at its roots.
Zygarde's 10%, 50%, and Complete Formes may be inspired in part by the three children of {{wp|Loki}} and {{wp|Angrboða}} in {{wp|Norse mythology}}: {{wp|Fenrir}}, {{wp|Jörmungandr}}, and {{wp|Hel (being)|Hel}}.
 
Zygarde 10% Forme may be based on the wolf Fenrir. The green leash-like object around its neck could be based on {{wp|Gleipnir}}, the rope that binds Fenrir. Its left front paw has a different color from the others, being green instead of black, which is possibly a reference to Fenrir biting off the god {{wp|Týr}}'s right hand in reprisal for being bound by him. This Forme could also draw inspiration from {{wp|Garmr}}, the watchdog that guards {{wp|Hel (location)|Helheim}}'s gate. In appearance, it resembles a {{wp|Dobermann|Doberman Pinscher}}.
 
Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance is based on a serpent in the shape of the letter Z. It may also draw inspiration from Jörmungandr, a sea serpent that encircles the earth; and {{wp|Níðhöggr}}, a dragon that gnaws at the roots of {{wp|Yggdrasil}}, the world tree. Jörmungandr is said to “dwell in the world sea, encircling the Earth (Midgard),” which may allude to  Zygarde’s partial Ground typing (“Earth”) and the 50% Forme being the middle forme (“Midgard”). Its flat shape and wriggling movement may be inspired by the {{wp|tsuchinoko}}, a Japanese cryptid, and its snakelike appearance may be inspired by {{wp|nāga}}, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures.
 
Zygarde Complete Forme may be based on Hel, the ruler of {{wp|Helheim}}, the realm of the dead in Nordic myth. The colors on its Complete Forme's chest match the colors of the real-world {{wp|flag of France}}, the country which inspired the [[region]] of [[Kalos]]. These three colors match Kalos' pentagonal emblem that is split between three sections matching each section of Kalos' sub regions: blue on the left depicting Coastal Kalos, red on the right depicting Mountain Kalos, and white in the middle depicting central Kalos. The blue and red colors also match the colors of {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Design-wise, it resembles a humanoid {{wp|Mecha anime and manga|giant mecha}} despite its organic basis; its light-up technological appearance, "transforming"/"combining" gimmick, and the face-like pattern on its chest are all tropes commonly used for fictional mecha.
 
Zygarde Cell and Zygarde Core may be based on cells as well as {{wp|flatworm}}s (specifically {{wp|Planarian|planaria}}) and single-celled organisms such as {{wp|slime mold}}s and members of ''{{wp|Euglena}}''. Some planarians' {{wp|Simple eye in invertebrates#Ocelli|ocelli}} also resemble eyes, which may have inspired the designs for the Cell and Core Zygarde. The hexagons within them may represent a {{wp|cell nucleus}}.


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