As part of the “Blaze New Trails” event in Pokémon Go, a new set of Special Research Tasks that promote routes and reward Zygarde has been added to the game.
Zygarde has a special feature unlike any other Legendary Pokémon: it’s forms change depending on how many cells you find. The first form, 10%, is the one you start with and it resembles a dog. The second form, 50%, is the one players may recognize from Pokémon X and Y, and it is more of a serpent. The third form, called its “Complete Forme” (with an e, yes), is more humanoid in shape.
How to change find Zygarde Cells and change Zygarde’s form
By using the “nearby” tab to find local routes, you can follow along on whatever path another trainer submitted. By walking on these routes, you’ll be rewarded Zygarde Cells, which allow you to change your Zygarde’s form. However, the only way to get Zygarde (as of writing this, at least) is to complete the Special Research Tasks we outline below. You also need to get the Zygarde Cube, which holds the cells, first. (It’s also a reward from the Special Research.)
