Zygarde Core

A Zygarde Core (Japanese: ジガルデ・コア Zygarde Core) is a cell-like component of Zygarde with its own will. On their own, they have little power, but by gathering Cells, they can create Zygarde's different forms.

A Zygarde Core

10% Forme Zygarde contains a single Core, which only allows it to function for a short time. Complete Forme Zygarde contains five Cores, as can be seen when its chest opens, revealing red, orange, white, cyan, and blue Cores. Its wings and tail each have their own Core that can act independently.

In the games

Zygarde Cores are stored in the Zygarde Cube. They allow the Zygarde Cube to teach Zygarde moves.

In Pokémon Sun and Moon, five Zygarde Cores can be found around the Alola region, with each one unlocking a specific move, as seen below. In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, all five moves are already unlocked upon receiving the Zygarde Cube.

Location	Core	Move
Ancient Poni Path	In the back of the bedroom in Hapu's house	Core Enforcer
Iki Town	On the porch in the northeastern room of Hala's house	Thousand Arrows
Route 17	At the back of the Po Town Police Station	Thousand Waves
