To find Zygarde Cells in Pokémon GO, you need to use the game's Routes feature , which involves walking along player-created routes in the real world. Here’s how to effectively find Zygarde Cells:
- Access Routes: Open the Nearby menu on the home map screen, then select the Routes tab to view available routes near you. If no routes appear nearby, you may need to search in a different location or use the Campfire app to find routes farther away
- Follow Routes: Start walking along one of these routes. While walking, look for small glowing green-yellowish spots on your screen—these are the Zygarde Cells. Tap on them to collect
- Route Creation: If you want, you can create your own route by selecting a PokéStop or Gym, hitting Record, and submitting the path for approval. Once accepted, this route can be traveled by you and others
- Daily Limit and Strategy: You can collect up to 3 Zygarde Cells per day, and these cells appear randomly while following routes. Sometimes players have found that stopping near the end of a route and restarting the game can help make cells appear, though this is a workaround rather than an official method
- Special Research Requirement: To start collecting Zygarde Cells, you first need to complete certain steps in the "From A to Zygarde" Special Research questline, which rewards you with a Zygarde Cube and an encounter with Zygarde’s 10% form
Collecting Zygarde Cells is essential to evolve Zygarde into its more powerful forms: 50% Forme requires 50 cells, and the Complete Forme requires 250 cells. Given the daily collection limit, fully evolving Zygarde can take several weeks
. In summary, to find Zygarde Cells, use the Routes feature in Pokémon GO, walk along player-created routes, keep an eye out for glowing cells, and collect them as you go
