Remember a few months back when we talked about how Zygarde was getting new formes in the Pokemon anime and predicted that they would make their first in game appearance in an unannounced Pokemon Z? As we know now, Zygarde got no game, but that doesn’t mean his alternate versions won’t turn up. As announced in the game’s latest trailer, it will just end up debuting in Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon.
Showing off two of its possible appearances, its 10% Forme takes the shape of a scarf wearing dog, which seems to be paired up with a set of new attacks. Thousand Arrows fires a series of energy blasts into the sky, with each one raining down on its opponent, while Thousand Waves transforms the pup into a cluster of data, which surrounds its enemy before it’s hit with the strike.
In its Complete Forme, Zygarde looks much more like a human shaped monster, which promises to be its most powerful version. Using a new attack called Core Enforcer, the Pokemon does its best Zorro impression by taking to the sky and blasting away its foe with a powerful beam that draws a Z into the ground. Aside from these attacks, any ability changes, stat alterations or how these transformations take place is yet to be revealed, but we’ll report it as soon as it’s known.
With these answers come so many questions. Namely, will the standard 50% forme from X and Y be needed for these new versions? Will the smaller formes like the core play a role in any of this? And why didn’t Zygarde get its own version? While we contemplate these pressing questions, watch the adaptable Pokemon in action below, then let us know what you’re hoping to see in Pokemon Sun and Moon in the comments below!
