Zygarde Formes Officially Revealed

by

Pokémon has officially revealed the new Zygarde Formes and we have some new information for each:

zygarde-cellZygarde Cell

This stage has been identified as the single Cells that make up Zygarde. Cells do not possess any will or thought processes. They’re found scattered throughout the region. Since they can’t use any moves, researchers question whether they can even be called Pokémon!

zygarde-coreZygarde Core

At this stage, this aspect of Zygarde is little more than a part of the Pokémon’s brain. Unlike the Cells, the Cores are self-aware and can communicate with Cells and other Cores via telepathy. When a change occurs in the local region’s ecosystem, Cores have been known to take action.

zygarde-10Zygarde 10% Forme

Zygarde 10% is the Forme that the Zygarde Core takes when it gathers 10% of the Cells nearby. Capable of traveling over 60 mph (100 km/h), it defeats enemies with its sharp fangs and its incredible speed.

Zygarde_50_percentZygarde 50% Forme

This Legendary Pokémon watches over and maintains the local ecosystem. Until recently, this was the only known Forme of Zygarde. In actuality, this Forme only has 50% of the Cells in its structure.

zygarde-completeZygarde Complete Forme

This is the perfect Forme that Zygarde takes when the Core gathers 100% of the Cells. When the ecosystem is under threat, and the Core concludes that the 50% Forme will be unable to deal with it, the Core takes on the Complete Forme. Its power is said to be greater than that of the Legendary Pokémon Xerneas and Yveltal!

ash-greninjaAsh’s Greninja

Ash’s Greninja takes on a mysterious new appearance in the latest season! Ash-Greninja is the form that Greninja takes when the bond between it and Ash is raised to the limit. The strength of their bond changes Greninja’s appearance, and it takes on the characteristic look of Ash’s attire. This phenomenon is also said to have happened just once several hundred years ago in the Kalos region, but it remains shrouded in mystery.

This could be a reference to AZ’s Floette which has a special appearance. We’ll find out more closer to the game’s release hopefully 🙂

  1. I’m probably one of the few people that actually like Greninja cause it’s a ninja and I always play ninja characters in games (IE Samurai Warriors, I just like fast hitters)
    I guess I’m a lil sad cause I like Lucario as well…I can’t help if my faves are basically the mascots, it’s my own opinion (I do like wolves, wanna get a tattoo)
    Greninja does look cool, ngl…but what if Ash gets a haircut…? Would Greninja change with it? I also wonder if it’s a permanent change or not (like a mega)
    The Zygarde formes do look awesome. I’m looking forward to an eventual game announcement as well as the final instalment of the Mega Evolution Act which I do enjoy watching. I wanna know more about this Pokemon mythology now!

    • I’m thinking that it’s something like the Footprint Ribbon from DPPt (and probably the later games too). Post-game, when your Pokemon’s Happiness is at its limit, perhaps you can visit the Anistar crystal and a transformation occurs. I’m thinking something like an included editor to make it match a certain style. The gimmick would be that you can only do it with certain Pokemon, like your starter. I’m also thinking that this crystal will play a huge role in the story, involving Zygarde and its Formes.

  2. If 50% of the Zygarde cells make a 50% Zygarde, then doesn’t that mean there can be TWO 50% Zygarde at once? Same with the 10% form. Does that mean there can be ten 10% forms?

  3. Notice how Game Freak never announced the anime for us. They were clearly very selective with what they wanted to express. All they say is “The latest series of Pokemon has been announced in Japan”. Pokemon XY&Z is never name-dropped once. Clearly they’re waiting to announce the game sometime soon, but are in some type of internal limbo that we don’t understand yet. “XY&Z” would imply that a new game IS in fact coming, but we apparently can’t know about this yet. What are your thoughts on this?

    • I was just thinking about this. It’s weird tho I just went to the Japanese Pokemon website and even tho it’s about 10 am there they still haven’t showed off the news yet. Even if it’s just the morning for them I’d expect they would at least update about it. The Way all this is going down is very very strange to me….idk they just seem to b playing a game that they haven’t played b4 lol

      • They do give the release date of the Japanese anime, though, which is interesting. They know that by October 29th, many anime-watching Pokemon fans will have already seen the new Formes in action, as well as seen the XY&Z title. With this in mind, I’m betting on a reveal date sometime between now and October 29th. I can’t really see how it could happen any later than that, with all that is going on. Just for kicks, I’m going to place my bets on a trailer and announcement happening on Tuesday, October 13. I simply can’t see why they would delay it any longer than the release date of the anime.

  5. Just saw the comments on my last comment. No, there’s not only one Core. If you read the descriptions you would’ve noticed “At this stage, this aspect of Zygarde is little more than a part of the Pokémon’s brain. Just saw theUnlike the Cells, the Cores are self-aware and can communicate with Cells and other Cores via telepathy. When a change occurs in the local region’s ecosystem, Cores have been known to take action.” The 10% is when a Core connects to 10% of cells nearby. That means I think I just answered my own question.

  8. I’m glad we get to see clearer pictures of the new forms. Honesty, 10% form looks like houndoom without horns. Perfect form is awesome. I love it.

    • Why does he ignore the quote from CoroCoro specifically saying that they’ll appear in the anime before anywhere else? Did he actually read the full translation?

      Reply

      • He’s also forgetting several factors:

        Evidence For Game(s):

        1.) The forms of course
        2.) Zygarde’s Dex Entry for X and Omega Ruby
        3.) Thousand Waves and Thousand Arrows unused moves
        4.) Typing, Height, Weight for Zygarde Complete Form (why else give it out if it won’t be in a video game).
        5.) “Flowers” hint

    • lol. Does Marriland even pay attention to the previous news? Restating @disqus_FlF7CnrSPX:disqus point; Zygarde has already been said to have another form when it’s in danger. There is going to be a game. We already know it’s not going to be called Pokemon Z. I’m going for Pokemon AZOTH based on OR/AS. I’m just going to laugh when he’s wrong. (Also, the CoroCoro said it would appear in the anime first…) :/

      • He’s really going to make a big fool of himself after he publishes that video. I’ve honestly lost all respect for him at this point. There’s so much evidence for the game(s), it’s overwhelming:

        1.) The forms of course
        2.) Zygarde’s Dex Entry for X and Omega Ruby
        3.) Thousand Waves and Thousand Arrows unused moves
        4.) Typing, Height, Weight for Zygarde Complete Form (why else give it out if it won’t be in a video game).
        5.) “Flowers” hint

          • I seriously dislike him now. He’s become a low-typically popular PokeTuber. Their all boring. That’s why I’m subbed to none of them. I used to like Marriland during his Diamond days, but now; he’s really lost his luster. :/

        • Think you’re right with this signs. Don’t forget one of the first hints, it was about origins and a 3000 year old king(AZ) sounds pretty much like origin to me(and he has it’s flower pokemon floette).

  15. Although that trailer didn’t show Ash having any kind of Mega Stone, it seems as though Greninja is undergoing some kind of customizable Mega Evolution. Think Diamond and Pearl’s Pokeball Seals. Perhaps once your starter gets to the highest happiness possible, you can trigger a Mega Evolution in battle….WITHOUT a Mega Stone. Mind blown.
