Hey! It’s goomy here! Nice to see you again

True, but I don’t remember Pokemon Prime, Pokemon legends (the HGSS mechanic, not legendaires in general), Pokemon EX, Lv. X pokemon or any other mechanic like that being made such a big deal out of, except maybe the new pokemon EX.

Just by existing? No. Just no. While a certain amount of wishful thinking may have gone into the Break Evolution part of my theory, there is no obvious connection between Zygarde and the other two in XY. Rayquaza’s role as mediator was revealed in Emerald, Giratina’s role as the being that counterbalances Dialga/Palkia was revealed in Platinum, and Kyurem’s Absofusions were only in BW2. All three, and Zygarde in XY, were hardly mentioned in their debut games, and never in relation to the other two members of their respective trios.

Because the card game adds all sorts of weird mechanics and such never touched upon in the games. It ties into the lore by existing.

How do we know Break Evolution is TCG-exclusive? I’m fairly certain I’ve read everything in Pokebeach on the subject, and nowhere does it say that. True, we haven’t heard about it being in the games/anime, but it’s not impossible that Break Evolution is the method by which Zygarde becomes the huge creature shown in Corocoro. And we know nothing of Mega Evolution Act IV.

As for why it’d incorporate the other two, Zygarde does need something to tie itself to the lore of the other two. We know that in the TCG, Break Evolution requires both the pokemon and it’s pre-evo. Plus it would make sense for Zygarde to channel the power of life to combat death and vice versa.

Break evolution is a TCG exclusive thing, but nice try. Though I’m in agreeance that they are both related to Zygarde. I don’t know about the fact that it’d incorporate the other two legendaries but eh maybe.

Firstly, and this may seem like sidetracking but I promise it isn’t, a few months ago, Pokebeach revealed that the next TCG set will be the start of the “XY Break” era. It will be a split set called XY Break: Blue Impact and XY Break: Red Flash, starring Mewtwo’s megas. This new set introduces a new mechanic called Break Evolution: “In order to Break Evolve, you need the BREAK card, the pre-evolved Pokemon, and the Evolved Pokemon”. I think that Break evolution will be a new form of mega evolution, that uses the pre-evolved form in place of a mega stone (All break evolvable pokemon revealed so far are at the end of their evolution chain, Raichu, Golduck, Luxray, Zoroark, Chesnaught and Noivern). But Zygarde doesn’t have Pre-evolutions, I hear you say. But we don’t know it’s connection to Xerneas and Yveltal. They could potentially allow Zygarde to Break evolve into more powerful forms.

Going into Zygarde’s mythology, it maintains the balance between life and death. It also has two signature moves that seem to be designed to counter land based oppponents (Thousand Waves) and airborne ones (Thousand Arrows).
It seems to be common consensus amongst the fandom, that the giant pokemon is the Thousand Arrows form. I agree with this, as it appears to have several spikes on its head, along with the four arms. The Giant is Zygarde Break X, which borrows power from Xerneas. This makes sense, if you consider that Zygarde is taking power from life (which is why it grows), to defeat death.

The blob is the opposite. If you watch the animation for Thousand Waves, the user turns into several small particles (or blobs, perhaps) and attacks the opponent. If the population of the ecosystem gets too large, Zygarde becomes a bacterium using Yveltal’s powers, to reduce it. It’s also worth pointing out that the blob pokemon has a red stomach. Which member is red? Yveltal!

Well that’s a bit depressing

They were leaked online by accident, then pulled, and then officially revealed.
