There’s only one way to get the legendary Zygarde in Pokemon GO, and that’s by collecting Zygarde Cells via the Routes feature. Routes are a great way to learn a new area and find new Pokemon while traveling, but they also have a simple and practical use within the game. By traveling the Routes created by other players, you’ll earn a variety of bonuses, including the elusive Zygarde Cells. To get started on your journey to obtaining 100% Zygarde, you’ll first have to complete the From A To Zygarde Special Research. Here’s what you need to know about how to get Zygarde Cells in Pokemon GO.

Routes are pathways walked and submitted by other Pokemon GO players. To explore someone else’s route, you just need to go to the “Nearby” menu. Next take a look at the “Routes” option. There you can see all of the different Routes available and select the one you’d like to travel on. Walking someone else’s Route is the quickest way to get get Zygarde Cells, but it’s not the only one.
You can also start your own Route. To do so, head to a PokeStop or a Gym and hit the “Record” button on your screen to begin the process. You’ll need to fill out some relevant info, submit it, and wait for the Pokemon GO team to accept it. That said, you can always try and travel someone else’s path in the meantime.

- XP
- Stardust
- Poke Balls
