It exists in various Formes, each corresponding to a different percentage of its power, from the serpentine 10% Forme to the imposing 50% Forme, and ultimately the colossal Complete Forme. Zygarde is composed of countless individual cells and cores, which can assemble or disassemble to change its shape and power. Its diet is not explicitly detailed, but its role involves monitoring and preserving the natural world, suggesting a deep connection to its environment rather than conventional feeding habits. Zygarde played a significant role in the Pokémon X and Y games, with its presence hinting at a larger narrative that was later explored more fully in Pokémon Sun and Moon. In the anime, Zygarde's various forms and its connection to the ecosystem were central to a major storyline, particularly with Squishy, a Zygarde Core. Its unique modular biology and environmental guardianship give Zygarde a distinct cultural significance as a protector of nature.
