Zygarde (10% Forme)
PvE Analysis
Zygarde 10% is the first step towards Zygarde's true power, but sadly this dog-based forme is pretty lackluster. If you want to use Zygarde in PvE, then make a point of collecting Zygarde Cells ASAP.
On that note, it's worth mentioning that Zygarde and its various formes have more Signature Moves than any other Pokemon in the series. Land's Wrath, Thousand, Arrows, and Thousand Waves are all Ground Type moves, while Core Enforcer is Dragon Type. This means that Zygarde, or at least its more completed formes, has massive potential in the future, especially if Niantic makes any of its various Ground Type Signature Moves into a good Fast Move.
Best PvE Offensive Moveset
Dragon Tail + Outrage | Best |
---|
- If you insist on using Zygarde 10%, then you're going to want to pack Dragon Tail and Draco Meteor
- Bite and Crunch can work, but it's very, very underpowered.
- Earthquake could be good if Zygarde 10% had a Ground Type Fast Move, but as-is it's sub-par.
- Hyper Beam and Bulldoze aren't worth considering.
PvP Analysis
Dragon Tail + Crunch and Earthquake |
---|
Dragon Tail is an excellent Fast Attack, boasting incredible damage and average energy generation. Zen Headbutt and Bite are both very underwhelming.
Crunch is Zygarde's cheapest Charged Attack and offers some coverage and a nasty 30% debuff chance. Earthquake is expensive, but is important to give Zygarde coverage against Steel- and Fairy-type Pokemon and benefits from STAB. Outrage is a powerful Charged Attack, but Zygarde struggles to find a moveslot for it. Hyper Beam is Zygarde's only option to avoid getting walled entirely by Togekiss, but is far too expensive for any practical use. Bulldoze is slightly cheaper than Earthquake and takes one less Dragon Tail to reach, but the steep drop in power makes it a largely outclassed option.

Zygarde-10% is a more fragile Flygon with a clunkier moveset, and Flygon is a niche Pokemon to begin with. It is simply not worth running. Grab some Zygarde Cells to transform this Pokemon into a much more useful forme. | |
