Zygarde is easily one of the most wanted Legendaries from Kalos, and almost every Pokemon GO trainer dreams of adding it to their collection. But finding it is nowhere near easy. Getting Zygarde requires players to grind for Zygarde Cells over several days, making it one of the challenging tasks in the game. In this guide, we\u2019ll break down how to get Zygarde Cells in Pokemon GO and how you can use them to finally unlock Zygarde.<\/p>\n

How to Obtain Zygarde Cells in Pokemon GO<\/p>\n

Zygarde Cells in Pokemon GO can only be obtained by visiting unexplored routes through Pokemon GO\u2019s Routes feature<\/a>. Routes are like mapped roads that were created by other players to encourage you to explore the local area with bonuses along the way. We recommend checking our Routes guide to learn about them in detail.<\/p>\n

To follow a route, click on the Nearby menu and change to the Routes tab. Now, check the route that you want to visit, and select it. Walk down to the starting point of the route and follow the path till the end to find Zygarde Cells.<\/p>\n

Zygarde Cells are like small greenish jelly thing which can be easy to miss out on, especially if you\u2019re focused on following the route. On top of that, you can collect anywhere between one and three cells per route. Remember that you cannot catch Zygarde Cells using Poke Balls or Master Balls in Pokemon GO<\/a>. So, make sure to tap on them whenever you spot any to store them in your Zygarde Cell Cube.<\/p>\n

Tips and Tricks to Collect Zygarde Cells<\/p>\n

Zygarde is one of the rarest Pokemon in Pokemon GO<\/a>, and that makes it quite complicated to obtain. No matter how hard it is to get Zygarde Cells in Pokemon GO, we\u2019ve shared some tips and tricks that will make the grind much easier:<\/p>\n

Try to play in populated areas like cities that have more Gyms and Poke Stops, as they will always have more routes.<\/p>\n

Aim for the smaller routes first. Try to stick with three of the smallest routes in your area to collect the Zygarde Cells faster. <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t waste time repeating routes on the same day.<\/p>\n

Stay alert as you\u2019re reaching the end of a route to avoid missing out on Zygarde Cells.<\/p>\n

If a cell doesn\u2019t appear, try restarting your game near the end of the route. Sometimes the game might glitch, and you may not find the cell.<\/p>\n

Yes, collecting Zygarde Cells in Pokemon GO to unlock Zygarde is totally worth the experience. If you look at its stats, though, it\u2019s easy to notice that Zygarde isn\u2019t as strong as some of the top Dragon<\/a>\u2013 and Ground-type<\/a> Pokemon like Rayquaza, Eternatus, and Groudon. Its moveset also doesn\u2019t make it a top-tier option for Raids or Trainer Battles<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Even so, since it\u2019s one of the rarest Pokemon in the game, it\u2019s still a great addition to your collection. On top of that, hunting for Zygarde Cells through Routes can also help you stay active and work toward your daily fitness goals.<\/p>\n
