    Biology

    Zygarde normally appears as blob-like Zygarde Cores, which individually absorb the immobile Zygarde Cells to assume the canine 10% Forme or the serpentine 50% Forme.

    Design & origin

    Zygarde's design is inspired by the Jörmungandr of Norse mythology, a dragon that encircles Midgard.

    Forms

    Complete Zygarde

    Zygarde Cores can combine with every Zygarde Cell to assume its humanoid Complete Forme. This form only appears to neutralize threats to the ecosystem, and is capable of overpowering Xerneas and Yveltal.
