This Pokémon is somewhat “complicated.” Zygarde has existed since the previous, since Generation 6. Now it has received more “forms.”
Zygarde Cores and Cells
Each of Zygarde’s forms consists of clusters of cells and cores. The cells and cores alone are incapable of battling. Only together, as Zygarde, can they act.
The Zygarde cores serve as the brains and have their own will. The Zygarde cells make up the rest of Zygarde. They follow the commands of the cores.

Ability: Aura Break/Power Construct
This Zygarde has only a single core, which is why it can maintain this form only for a short time. It comes with special, unique moves:
Thousand Arrows: This Ground move can even deal damage to Flying Pokémon and Pokémon with the ability Levitate. When such Pokémon are hit by this move, they can take damage from other Ground moves starting with the following round.
Thousand Waves: It prevents the opponent from fleeing or being switched out.
50%-Zygarde
Category: Order
Types: Dragon + Ground
Height: 5.0 m
Weight: 305.0 kg
Ability: Aura Break/Power Construct
The 50%-form of Zygarde is powerful. It feels compelled to protect the ecosystem. A 10%-Zygarde or a 50%-Zygarde with the ability Power Construct takes its optimal form in battle when its HP falls to half of its maximum value or lower.
