How to Get Zygarde Cells in Pokemon GO

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’ll break down how to get Zygarde Cells in Pokemon GO and how you can use them to finally unlock Zygarde.

How to Obtain Zygarde Cells in Pokemon GO

Zygarde Cells in Pokemon GO can only be obtained by visiting unexplored routes through Pokemon GO’s Routes feature. 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.

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.

Zygarde Cells are like small greenish jelly thing which can be easy to miss out on, especially if you’re 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. So, make sure to tap on them whenever you spot any to store them in your Zygarde Cell Cube.

Should You Get Zygarde in Pokemon GO?

Yes, collecting Zygarde Cells in Pokemon GO to unlock Zygarde is totally worth the experience. If you look at its stats, though, it’s easy to notice that Zygarde isn’t as strong as some of the top Dragon– and Ground-type Pokemon like Rayquaza, Eternatus, and Groudon. Its moveset also doesn’t make it a top-tier option for Raids or Trainer Battles.

Even so, since it’s one of the rarest Pokemon in the game, it’s 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.
