'''Zygarde''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジガルデ''' ''Zygarde'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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. It is said to monitor the ecosystem, and if the ecosystem falls into disarray, it appears and reveals its power. Zygarde is the [[Signature moves|only known Pokémon that can learn]] {{m|Land's Wrath}}.

* Zygarde is currently both the [[List of Pokémon by name|last Pokémon in alphabetical order]] and last Pokémon in National Dex order.

* Zygarde has the highest base {{stat|Defense}} of all Dragon types.  

Zygarde's appearance is based on a serpent in the shape of the letter Z. It may also draw inspiration from both the {{wp|Níðhöggr}} and the {{wp|Jörmungandr}}. Jörmungandr, often written Jormungand, or Jörmungand and also known as the Midgard Serpent (Old Norse: Midgarðsormr), or World Serpent, is a sea serpent, the middle child of the giantess Angrboða and Loki. According to the {{wp|Prose Edda}}, Jörmungandr is punished by Odin by tossing it into the great ocean that encircles Midgard. The serpent grew so large that he was able to surround the earth and grasp his own tail. {{wp|Níðhöggr}} is the serpent from the {{wp|Poetic Edda}} which resided at the bottom of the world tree {{wp|Yggdrasill}} and gnawed at its roots. The patterns spread upon Zygarde's body are very similar to and may be based upon {{wp|ribose}} and {{wp|deoxyribose}} molecules. Its tail is possibly based in shape on {{wp|base pair}} {{wp|codons}}, the essential building blocks of the {{wp|DNA}} {{wp|double helix}}.

Zygarde may be a combination of ''Z-axis'', ζυγωτός ''zygōtos'' (Greek for ''joined''), ''zygote'', and ''garde'' (French for ''guard''). It can be also be a combination of ''zygōtos'' and ''midgard'' (Old Norse: ''Miðgarðr'').
