Zygarde has several new forms that have been leaked through a Japanese magazine, titled "CoroCoro." According to Gospel Herald, Zygarde is the third legendary Pokemon to be introduced in Pokemon X and Y.
The new forms reveal Zygarde's evolutionary pattern. So far, Pokemon fans have only been introduced to Zygarde's 50 percent Forme, which only holds half of its potential power.
Below is a list of Zygarde's multiple forms, from ascending order, as listed by Pokemon.com:
#1. Zygarde Cell: Some scientists question whether Zygarde's cell form can actually be called a Pokemon, since it does not have any will or thought process. They are simply found all over the surrounding region.
#2. Zygarde Core: This form will most likely function as the brain for the rest of Zygarde's transformations. Unlike its cell version, Zygarde Core can think and is self-aware.
In addition, it can communicate with other Cores telepathically. In fact, Cores are known to gather and take action when their local region's ecosystem is changing.
#3. Zygarde 10% Form: In this forme, Zygarde looks like a dog and has collected 10 percent of the Cells forms near the surround area. In 10 percent form, Zygarde can run really fast, traveling at 50 mph or 100 km/h. Besides speed, it also has fangs.
#4. Zygarde 50% Form: As previously mentioned, Pokemon fans will be familiar with this form. In this Forme, Zygarde has collected only 50 percent of the Cells nearby. At 50 percent, Zygarde watches over and maintains balance within the local ecosystem.
#5. Zygarde Complete Forme: In its complete form, Zygarde has gathered and taken in all of the cells in the surrounding areas. Zygarde only takes this form when the Cores feels that the ecosystem is being threatened and its 50 percent form does not seem to be enough to defend the local ecosystem.
Not much is said about Zygarde's power in its Complete Forme, excepts that it greatly exceeds that of two other Legendary Pokemon: Zerneas and Yveltal.
Other than Zygarde's various transformations, Ash's Greninja also received a new form. Greninja's new form is inspired by his master Ash. IGN explains that Ash-Greninja comes forth when the bond between Greninja and Ash reaches its limit.
Zygarde's new forms and Ash-Greninja will be introduced in the upcoming anime season, "Pokemon XY & Z." The anime is set to begin broadcasting in Japan on October 29, 2015.
The new Pokemon season is expected to usher in a new Pokemon game, titled "Pokemon Z." However, no official announcement has been made about the game as of yet.
