Zygarde from the Blaze New Trails event in Pokemon Go

The Legendary Dragon/Ground-type Zygarde has made its debut in Pokemon Go. Here’s how to change its forms.

Pokemon Go’s Blaze New Trails event runs from Friday, July 21, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. to Monday, July 24, 2023, at 8:00 p.m. local time. Niantic launched the event alongside the game’s new Routes feature, which came under fire quickly after release for malfunctioning.

During Blaze New Trails, Pokemon such as Blitzle, Doduo, and Growlithe will appear more frequently in the wild. Additionally, trainers can encounter Zygarde for the first time after completing the first three stages of the Research Story, ‘From A to Zygarde.’

The Legendary Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. Here’s how to change Zygarde’s forms in Pokemon Go.

To change Zygarde’s form, you must collect Zygarde Cells in Pokemon Go. According to a data mine, you must gather 250 Zygarde Cells to transform Zygarde 10% into the Pokemon’s Complete Forme.

How to collect Zygarde Cells in Pokemon Go

You can find Zygarde cells by using Pokemon Go’s new Routes feature. Here are the steps you’ll need to follow:

  1. Find a Route close by using the Nearby function
  2. Walk on the Route and look for shiny yellow/green icons on the map
  3. Collect them but make sure you have the Zygarde Cube first

In addition to Zygarde Cells, walking Routes can grant you bonuses like gathering Buddy Candy quicker. You can also earn an XP bonus after finishing Routes for seven days.
