Finally we get to see zygarde's new forms in-game! ^^

 

[MarinoKadame]

The Part 1 actually show both of them on 10% after rewatching it.

 

[Hikamaru]

This has definitely been a day full of leaks, first CoroCoro reveals stuff and now this. I recall a lot of people hoping for the new Zygarde forms to be available in the main series games ever since their showcase in the anime and you have to admit the in-game footage looks awesome.

 

[Hikamaru]

This is very exciting news!

But it's just so random. Why Zygarde and why now? If anything, I'd have expected them to maybe show the two new Pokémon but nope... and there's nothing about this form in CoroCoro either. Maybe we're in for an announcement video from the official channel soon, at least. :)

I'm sure an English trailer coming out soon will happen, and will likely reveal the English names for Iwanko and Nekkoala. I can't see it revealing the Zygarde forms yet since they weren't shown in CoroCoro.

 

[Nah]

So you can go straight from 10% form to 100% form?

Will Zygarde be featured as part of the main story, or maybe a post-game story (a la the Delta Episode), or is all it is is that we can use Zygarde's other forms now? Still really wanna know how strong 100% form's gonna be.

It seems though that it has a new signature move (where it fires a Z shaped laser in the video). So does this mean that Zygarde does NOT get Thousand Waves and Thousand Arrows as its hidden signature moves like people have long thought? Or was that the original plan and they just scrapped it? Are those moves ever going to be usuable?

Perhaps they were saving this for Sun & Moon because of how Zygarde and the alternate formes will tie into the storylines theme. If this alleged Syncro evolution is correct then Zygarde could be an important aspect of that having formes in stages. Initially I thought it would just be an anime exclusive or scrapped all together, but after seeing this footage I'm definitely thinking that Zygarde will play some sort of important role in the storyline that relates to this new Mega concept.

There's the chance those could have been scrapped in favour of this new move. Maybe we'll get to learn more about it in coming months or if we get an official reveal on the Zygarde forms and their mechanics.

 

[Nagi]

uh, i don't know, but you missed out on the 'part1' it seems...



aren't these moves the Thousand Waves and Thousand Arrows though?

Yes they look identical to the XY/ORAS animations for Thousand Waves and Thousand Arrows :)

Maybe you might actually be right, but since the text right now is in Mandarin I can't easily translate it. What I did notice was that there was no "It's super effective!" or "It's not very effective" result on Metagross there nor any text relating to that appearing, so it must mean the moves do neutral damage and when it comes to Zygarde's STABs, one is strong against Metagross and one is resisted. The moves shown don't seem to either be Dragon or Ground-type but instead a type that Metagross takes neutral damage from.

 

[Liberal Army]

Zygarde appearing in SM supports my theory of having a 'Z episode' in the upcoming games. I'm so down for that!
The 3-D models also look pretty sick!

Loving the battle music from those videos, can't wait to hear more soundtracks. I also can't get over how cool that "Z" animation looks in battle.

 

[Iceshadow3317]

The ability looks like it allows Zygarde to transform with its health. At 50% it may transform in the the form with already have in game, the one we catch in XY. And after 25% health, it will transform into the Final Form. This might also be related to the big tree on the mostly abandoned island where the mascots legends will appear.

 

[smocks]

I'm not a fan of having too many forms but I think this takes the cake :( (because aren't there 5 forms of Zygarde already?)
So would it be the same as the other forms of Zygarde when they have low-hp? Is it going to be a never ending loop of Zygrade? I personally hope not... But otherwise this is still pretty cool because you recover about half of your HP when in Perfect Zygarde :3

 

[WingsofBliss]

Video footage of Zygarde and new dog and koala Pokemon reveals... awesome. :3

I'm also happy that this new information will finally put the Zygarde/Gen 6 VS Gen 7 arguements in the fandom to rest. It was getting beyond ridiculous.

 

[EC]

These games are going to be packed with stuff.

 

[Alumens]

Is that a wild battle music or the trainer battle music? I must say i was expecting something more of a serious tone on the song, idk why. It's so catchy and happy x)

 

[Desert Stream~]

Shiny Zygarde Complete Form would be EPIC

 

[MarinoKadame]

The Japanese youtube account of Pokemon now has both videos, we also get to hear the Sun & Moon battle theme.
