October’s issue of Japanese comic magazine CoroCoro has leaked and brought with it new details about Zygarde. The form fans are familiar with from Pokémon X&Y is when it is at half power and called “50% Form”. It has a “cell” form as its base, the amoeba-like one, and a newly revealed dog-like form at one tenth of its power and is called “10% Form”. Finally the last form is its “Perfect Form” which retains its original Dragon/Ground typing. It incorporates the red and blue of Yveltal and Xerneas and is even more powerful than them.
** We’re awaiting specific information on just how the forms are attained
Ash is also going to have a Greninja that shares physical traits with him. We don’t know if this was achieved through the power of friendship or some satanic ritual. This weird, new Greninja is set to appear in the new Pokémon XY & Z anime, which will air close to Mega Evolution Act IV.
Pokémon Z confirmed? Or is it Pokémon XY & Z? Or X & Z and Y & Z? Or none. Who knows!
<3 PJ
What is that thing on Greninja’s head? 0.0
Wait I wanna say one more thing. With news finally lets just say get ready for the revival of PJ comments section!
What do you mean get ready? Here we are!
Lol the activity is gonna go up again like it used to. Hopefully.
I’m ready to get this show on the road. Lurking inbound 😛
Only thing I don’t like about the new forms is that they mess with the whole “yggdrasil” theme Gen 6 had going but whatever.
Gen 6 had nothing going onOne thing I don’t like is wondering how Zygarde changes forms.I really hope “Z” makes Kalos memorable.
I’m not sure about the whole legend, but Zygarde is still a protector and keeper of balance in this form.
in the yggdrasil thingy there was a serpent, a tree, and an eagle. I see not thing about a Gundam, but I don’ care I like em
The way they describe the greninja doesn’t make it sound like a mega tbch but we will see
I hope everyone gets used to the new Zygarde form overtime. Mainly the big one. A lot of people are making Transformers, Dragonball Z, and Digimon references. I actually kinda like it. xD And the dog form is cute but a lot of people are bashing it as a Houndoom 2.0 and blobby as a Dunsparce.
I thought of Houndoom 2.0 too, but to me, the dog looks like a black combination of Liepard and Shaymin Sky.
lol literally I didn’t see any of the digimon or transformer comments but I’ll be honest I was thinking the exact same. PokeArmor Energize! Zygarde armor pokevolve tooooo…… Zygardoge. Or Zygarde Warp Pokevolve toooooo……. Perfect Zygarde!
I loved it when I first saw it. The dog must have been chosen to go along with the “protector dog” theme of the Pokemon series (Cobalion, Virizion, Terrakion and Entei, Suicune, Raikou). The giant form probably has meaning as well.
You think the Three Musketdeers look like dogs?
I don’t know what else they would be…
I’m saying this with love. Maybe deer?
Terrakion = deer does not compute, but I’ll take your word for it.
I always got a “bear” vibe from him
Actually Malachite Olaf is right
Goat, Gazelle, Buffalo, Unicorn.
So nothing about future dates for a game announcement, huh PJ?
I really don’t like the dog form and I love dogs. Just enough with the dog legends GF.
So with this we see, a VERY similar ash design on a greninja, New Zygarde forms <3!!!, and a VEEERRRY POSSIBLE Pokemon Z Announcement, I guess you will have to find out next time on DRAGONMON Z!!!
One more thing to add that made Z obvious. Those two moves that are supposedly Zygardes. Thousand Arrows and Thousand something
Leave it to Gamefreak to come up with these form names lmfaoooooooooooo.
Kinda bummed that the blob wasn’t a new pokemon, but man, this was wayyy out of the blue. Curious to see how this all works. Zygardoge+Zygartron comin thru.
LAST TIME ON POKEMON Z! Zygarde absorbed the final “Zygarde core” to transform into Perfect Zygarde! Can Lucario defeat such an opponent? Find out now!
Then he spends an entire episode transforming lol
I can’t let Zygarde win! I HAVE TO TURN INTO MEGA LUCARIO 2! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Just wanna say I’m hoping for: mega drapion mega flygon mega milotic mega togekiss…and for less used Pokemon mega rodents mega Fearow mega butterfree mega corsola mega parasect and mega cinccino. Yay or nay? What megas do you guys wanna see?
Damn anything else?
Jk I want Mega Drifblim
Lol not that I can think of atm. What about you auggy?
Well… Maybe Mega Johto Starters
Nothing really, just a little thing called Mega Xatu.
It needs better stats so it can be the best Magic Bouncer
Magic Conch: Maybe Some Day…
Can I please have something to eat?!
No
All Hail the Magic Conch!
….. I miss Spingebill
I really just wanna see a Kangaskhan situation. A Pokemon that (please excuse my use of tiers I don’t like them very much but to use as an example) went from a NU Pokemon to uber
I love Perfect Zygard it’s just awesome and simple at the same time, it’s not over designed like some new Pokemon (looking at you Barbaracle)
Hey. I liked the Ugly Barnacle
He was so ugly everyone died. The end.
Hahaha he really is over designed, i mean he could have been done without those ugly hand/face things
But if he didn’t have those we wouldn’t have the disturbing rule 34
More like body horror
oh God , now you got me thinking about that , thanks mate.
5 hands, 5 times the horror
But they wanted to explain that he’s just a bunch of Binacles. Like… Magneton!
People are drawing comparisons to the Transformers, but the truth is it looks better than the Transformers. At least to me.
I never liked the transformers
Tbh I thought it was like a Holy Sableye or something until I saw the colors
So is a game announcement for October seeming pretty likely now?
That’s what we said last month 🙁
Almost certain, I’d say, if it’s not this month. Especially if Corocoro promises a “shocking announcement” for next issue or something similar (That’s what they did for either the BW2 reveal or the ORAS reveal).
You think there may be a message like that on here?
This looks like it’s only one page, which confuses me, as Corocoro usually dedicates more than one of it’s 400-500 pages to pokemon. I suspect that there might be another page that says that, yes. I could very well be wrong tho.
It’s also worth noting that there isn’t any PSMD news yet…
We’re still in the very early stages here. I hope you’re right!
So do I man, so do I 🙂
The guy who leaked the pages probably didn’t even care enough about MD to show anything I bet lol.
That’s quite possible, we all have our opinions on it, but I don’t think there’s ever been a time where only part of the maagazine has leaked. By the looks of it, this is all we’re getting, unfortunately.
I think these leaks bring more questions than answers. Why are there so many Zygarde forms? What is the reasoning/significance of their designs (especially the dog one)? What is the purpose or “significance” of the Perfect Form and how does that all tie into the Kalos lore?
Anything else I’m missing? I don’t want it to sounds like I’m complaining because I’m excited but, this just became very complex, perhaps more than it needed to be.
The reason? MERCHANDISING
I’m beyond salted about the “Mega Greninja” tho.
you never know, maybe it’s a cool new thing where you get to make your Pokemon look different in the next game just like Trainer Customization.
That’s and intriguing notion, to say the least.
(10000000 bonus points who can name that anime)
It could be just an alternate form greninja that we might get in an event or something. Sorta like that spiky eared pichu from HGSS.
Noooooooo that Pichu stole my heart. I spent 3 hours manually typing in an action replay code so I could get the Pikachu-Colored Pichu before it was released in the U.S., I got Spiky and beat the game with it, and then Gen 5 happened…
That would be SO cool. It’s like Seals 2.0
I’d say don’t even worry about it. We got these forms and like I said its pretty much 100% Pokemon Z. All this will be discovered in the game. If we have to get into story I’d say that there is something in between life and death and Zygarde is that
How do the new leaked moves thousand arrows and thousand waves fit in? are they form based? I dont see any design indication as to why any of these formes should learn those moves…
Zygarde the system Pokemon.. Yveltal Xerneas and Zygarde. Life is usually associated with happiness so Xerneas. Death is associated with sadness and anger and so you have Yveltal. They both have different opinions on life and death then there’s Zygarde…the system Pokemon….seems like the Alvis of Pokemon…if you get the reference good if not well sorry don’t wanna spoil anything
I’m so naming my Zygarde Alvis when I catch him in Z
I wonder if the blob form will be usable in battle….
Same. I bet they all have different stats 🙂
I wanna just say that I am not trying to sound ungrateful to GF. I love Pokemon and I can admit that like everyone else that I had hopes. But yeah I think this idea with Zygarde is interesting. I don’t want to come off and upset angry or ungrateful is all
Masuda or somebody else said they would go back to basic designs for Gen 7. Perhaps they’re just having a little fun with it before making a rebirth of Gen 1.
Ah ok thank you Xatu. But could you clarify what you mean by “basic designs”
Muk
Lol maybe I’ll like this. We had a discussion about megas like last week and I can definitely say simple is better.

Thank you
Woah! The silph co logo! I love it! So much better than the slowpoke IMO. I can’t get the slowpoke song out of my head
Yah Yah Ayaaaaah (something Japanese) Yadon
Slooooow Sloooow Sloooow
I think the green blob called “Zygarde’s Core” will be what will allow Zygarde to change into the other two forms. And that it needs to learn Thousand Arrows and Thousand Waves to change formes. I imagine Thousand Waves for the dog Pokemon since it’s a trapping move and I can see the dog being aggressive. And Thousand Arrows for the robot because it can shoot things down with those pointy shoulders. But again, I’m just guessing and could be completely wrong.
The question remains. Come the 15th what will Game Freak have to say about this?
I’m thinking they’ll show a short teaser or maybe even a long new trailer featuring these things. I wouldn’t be surprised if we had a “shocking announcement” announcement for Pokemon Z within the same trailer.
Yeah I mean the fact that Masuda mentioned this in a tweet means they at least acknowledge that it’s happening. So where do they go from here I guess? They could release some kind of trailer announcing Z or they could just say there’s an announcement coming soon and we should keep our eyes open.
It’s no coincidence that he showed up at the Go event, showed that slide with an empty space and left a tweet shortly after hinting at the 15th. I think Masuda was preparing hardcore fans for the future, much like NX was for Nintendo.
OMG! I’m so excited! I still wonder if Thousand Arrows and Thousand Waves will come into play with the form changes?
I think Thousand Arrows corresponds to Yveltal (as arrows zip through the air) and Thousand Waves corresponds to Xerneas (as waves crash onto the earth or something like that). Perhaps teaching both moves to 50% Zygarde will allow it to absorb both powers and become a KAIJU!
Mega Grenninja ahh
Someone just lost their spot in my top 10s for the ZyDoge
Seriously. Do you know how long I’ve wanted a wolf pokemon?
Ok yeah, this has to be my second favorite pokemon design. 10% is awesome.
