Zygarde is one of the most unique and powerful Pokémon introduced in Pokémon GO, but in order to fully unlock its potential, you’ll need to collect Zygarde Cells. These cells allow you to assemble Zygarde in its various forms: 10%, 50%, and the ultimate Complete Form. This guide will cover everything you need to know about finding and collecting Zygarde Cells in Pokémon GO.
What Are Zygarde Cells?
Zygarde Cells are essential components used to upgrade Zygarde in Pokémon GO. You can collect Zygarde Cells and use them to change Zygarde’s form through the Zygarde Cube, an item that helps you store and manage these cells.
Zygarde has three forms:
- Zygarde 10% Form: Requires 10 cells.
- Zygarde 50% Form: Requires 50 cells.
- Zygarde Complete Form: Requires 100 cells and is considered the fully powered version of Zygarde.
How to Get Zygarde Cells in Pokémon GO
1. Collect Zygarde Cells Through Routes
Currently, the main method for obtaining Zygarde Cells is by walking along Routes. Routes are special paths created by players, and while walking on these designated routes, Zygarde Cells may appear for collection. These cells will show up on your map, allowing you to gather them.
- Walk Along Player-Created Routes: To find routes near you, check the “Routes” section in Pokémon GO’s menu. Walking on these specific paths is key to finding the cells.
- Zygarde Cube: Once you’ve encountered a Zygarde Cell, it will be added to your Zygarde Cube, and you can track how many cells you’ve collected.
2. How Many Zygarde Cells Per Route?
The number of Zygarde Cells you can find per route varies, but typically, you may encounter 1 to 3 Zygarde Cells on a single route. However, there is no guarantee that a cell will appear on every route you walk.
3. How Many Zygarde Cells Per Day?
There’s no set limit on the number of Zygarde Cells you can collect each day, but because cells are only available along routes, you are limited by how many routes you can walk in a day and how many cells appear. Regularly exploring routes is the best way to maximize your cell collection.
How to Get Zygarde Cells in Pokémon GO Without Routes
Unfortunately, as of now, Routes are the primary and only legitimate way to collect Zygarde Cells. There are no other in-game methods, such as Field Research tasks or event bonuses, to obtain these cells outside of walking routes. If routes are unavailable in your area, creating your own route is a viable option, or you may have to wait until more routes are generated near you.
Zygarde Cells Not Showing Up?
If you’ve walked a route but the Zygarde Cells are not showing up, here are some potential reasons:
- No Cells on That Route: Not all routes will have Zygarde Cells, so try walking multiple routes.
- App Glitches: Sometimes, Pokémon GO may not properly show Zygarde Cells due to a glitch. Restarting the app can resolve this issue.
- Time-Sensitive: Zygarde Cells may only appear at specific times or may be influenced by the number of players who walk the route, so check back later if none are appearing.
How to Get Zygarde Cells in Pokémon GO Easily
To make collecting Zygarde Cells easier, consider these tips:
- Focus on High-Traffic Routes: Routes that are frequently walked by other players are more likely to have Zygarde Cells appear.
- Check for New Routes: Pokémon GO regularly updates the available routes. Check for new routes near you, as these may offer fresh opportunities to collect Zygarde Cells.
- Create Your Own Route: If there are no routes nearby, you can create your own through the Route Creation feature. Once approved, this route may offer Zygarde Cells on future walks.
How Rare Are Zygarde Cells in Pokémon GO?
Zygarde Cells are relatively rare and can be difficult to find. Since they are only available on routes and may not appear every time you walk one, players may need to walk multiple routes to gather a significant number of cells.
To find Zygarde Cells:
- Open Pokémon GO and access the Routes feature.
- Search for available routes near you, and walk along them.
- Keep an eye on your map for the green glowing Zygarde Cells, which will appear as you walk the route. Simply tap the cell to collect it.
As of 2024, Routes remain the key method for collecting Zygarde Cells. Pokémon GO may release additional ways to collect these cells through special events or bonuses, but for now, focus on exploring routes in your area.
Can You Catch Zygarde in Pokémon GO?
Yes, you can catch Zygarde in Pokémon GO, but it is currently tied to special research tasks and not available in the wild. Once you have Zygarde, you can use Zygarde Cells to upgrade its form from 10% to 50%, and eventually to its Complete Form, once you’ve collected enough cells.
Obtaining Zygarde Cells in Pokémon GO requires patience and persistence. By walking designated routes and keeping an eye on your surroundings, you can slowly build up the number of cells needed to unlock Zygarde’s full potential. Here are the key takeaways:
- Routes are essential for collecting Zygarde Cells.
- Walk multiple routes to increase your chances of finding cells.
- If Zygarde Cells aren’t appearing, try restarting the app or walking different routes.
Stay on the lookout for future events or updates that may introduce new ways to gather Zygarde Cells, but for now, grab your Zygarde Cube and hit the routes!
