For a month now, Zygarde has been in Pokémon GO. However, the monster is causing trainers headaches, as the necessary cells for the Pokémon are still hard to find.
What kind of Pokémon is this? In July, the special research From A to Zygarde
was released in Pokémon GO. If you complete this, you will receive the legendary Pokémon Zygarde, which serves as the leader of a trio with Yveltal and Xerneas.
The twist with the monster: It has three different forms. However, to obtain the two stronger forms, you need to find Zygarde cells. Accordingly, there are:
- The 10%-form, which you receive immediately
- The 50%-form, for which you need 50 Zygarde cells
- And the Optimal form, which requires 200 Zygarde cells from you
How do you get the Zygarde cells? Basically, you get the cells by walking routes. However, players noticed early on that the cells only appear very rarely. And now, a month after release, trainers are still wondering how long it will take until they finally have enough cells together.
One month after release: Are Zygarde cells too rare?
What are the problems? The difficulties started with trainers finding very few routes in the vicinity to even begin collecting. However, there might be some improvement soon, as more and more trainers are allowed to submit routes. Accordingly, there is hope that this feature will become more prominent in the game.
However, some trainers still emphasize that they hardly get any cells – despite available routes. Apparently, the cells spawn rarely, and then for many trainers only for a very short time, creating the risk of missing them altogether.
A trainer in the Pokémon GO subreddit, r/TheSilphRoad, asked other players whether they plan to spend the 50 cells or rather save up to 200. The responses show: Many are more focused on actually finding cells before dealing with this.
- If I eventually have 50 cells in 2028, I’ll let you know, one commented sarcastically (via reddit).
- Or if my grandkids reach 250, they can tell your grandkids, another replied (via reddit).
- Even the GO Fest didn’t have routes, so I’m not planning to focus much attention on Zygarde, another one commented: Hardly anyone will ever get the final form, so it doesn’t bother me to probably lose in PvP the only time I see one (via reddit)
- I do routes and never get anything in the end (via reddit)
- I have one cell. I don’t see myself ever evolving one (via reddit)
Some describe not having found a single cell to this day. In addition, some hope that in the future it might become easier to obtain cells for Zygarde and thus make the form change simpler.
What should I pay attention to? Ultimately, the only thing left to do is to walk as many routes as possible and hope that cells will appear. Trainers point out to pay close attention, especially towards the end of a route, to see if a cell spawns so that it is not missed.
How far are you with Zygarde cells? Do you have any tips on how you found more cells? Let us know in the comments!
In addition, there is currently still an event in Pokémon GO that you can take advantage of only for a short time.
