[HypnoDarkrai]

A non-poison snake..
I like the design though.

 

[Village]

Huh, that looks cool.

 

[Sandfox]

It figures that it was a Snake. Now we just need a grass type pokemon based on yggdrasil for this gen's Arceus.

 

[yami4ct]

Oooooooo. A snake legendary. Now that is really cool.

[DMG-01]

16' 5" !?

Edit: What are aura abilities?

 

[entremet]

GF is just trolling Poison type fans now lol

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Not what I was expecting...

 

[ffdgh]

Woah freaky...and it's ability is confusing.

 

[Berordn]

GF is just trolling Poison type fans now lol

They exist?

 

[trixx]

Why the hell is it dragon?

 

[MagiusNecros]

Looks boss.

 

[Fey]

Dragon/Ground

Save us, Gen 7.

 

[Village]

.

You just said Ho-oh is good and the reggies are bad.

What the hell you talkin bout.

 

[AnkiRendan]

So does this mean Aura Sphere will always miss?

 

[SloaneRisette]

Damn Zygarde looks great. Really like the legendaries this gen.

 

[Matt Attack]

I laughed at Zygarde at first, but now I think it's kind of badass.

 

[yami4ct]

Are auras a new thing for Gen VI? If so, what do they do?

 

[Vanille]

Dragon/Ground why

 

[Antiwhippy]

So confirmed to have Z instead of X/Y2?

 

[DigitalOp]

You just said Ho-oh is good and the reggies are bad.

What the hell you talkin bout.

Im talking about a Phoenix being worth more than a damn piece of Ice, a piece of Rock, and a piece of Steel.

 

[Forkball]

Someone shop a Pokemon Z boxart with Zygarde. Also with the tag line "Now with Post-Game!"

 

[Ultratech]

Snake legendary, eh?

(Wonder if's it's supposed be some take on a jormungand?)

 

[Sandfox]

Why the hell is it dragon?

Because its based off a serpent like dragon from the Yggdrassil myth.

 

[blue_phazon]

My only problem with it, is that it's body is too short. It's more like a stump than a fully grown snake....

 

[ryan13ts]

Seriously, a Snake legendary that isn't Poison in either type? Damn, I'm really disappointed with that. Other than that, I like it design-wise.

After this prime opportunity, I don't think we'll ever be getting a Poison or Dragon/Poison legendary =\

 

[GAMERG0D]

It's amazing.

 

[Zomba13]

Yay it's a snake like it should be.
Boo it doesn't look as hype as the others.
Yay it's green and black.

 

[Exeunt]

Xerneas has Fairy Aura, which boosts its Fairy-type attacks.
Yveltal has Dark Aura, which boosts its Dark-type attacks.

I'm guessing Zygarde's ability means that Xerneas' Fairy-type attacks and Yveltal's Dark-type attacks will have their power reduced rather than boosted while Zygarde is in play.

 

[Dr. Randy Marsh]

It looks awesome and kinda "toxic-y" so maybe it is Poi

Dragon/Ground

:|

 

[entremet]

Dragon/Ground why

ICEBEAM!

*Zygarde faints*

LOL.

 

[Shrike Alvaron]

Reshiram = Shit Tier

I've never understood what people find wrong with Reshiram, it's a great design to me. I'll give that Zekrom sort of looks like a robot, but Reshiram? It's a big feathery bird dragon thing, doesn't look robotic or whatever at all.

Zygarde looks really cool, I love snakes so a snake legendary is awesome and that black and green is great. Looks almost radioactive.

 

[emb]

Wow, that new legendary looks great (at least aesthetically).

 

[Espada]

16' 5" !?

Edit: What are aura abilities?

Xerneas and Yveltal's abilities (Fairy Aura and Dark Aura) power up moves of the respective types.

This guy reverses their effect.

 

[yami4ct]

So confirmed to have Z instead of X/Y2?

Why would that be confirmed? Kyurem only had 1 form in B/W. It's quite possible they'll split Zygarde into two forms somehow for X/Y-2. Black and White 2 were ridiculously successful, so I don't see them not splitting the next set again.

EDIT: Oh, because of the "Z" in the name. Still going with X/Y 2 and not Z.

 

[Ashodin]

Wow yeah Zygarde hoses the other two Legendaries.

Why would that be confirmed. Kyurem only had 1 form in B/W. It's quite possible they'll split Zygarde into two forms somehow for X/Y-2. Black and White 2 were ridiculously successful, so I don't see them not splitting the next set again.

Call it XX and XY and we got a deal

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

I bet it'll have a Super Form or something.

I can see its frills growing into extra heads like Orochi.

 

[NHarmonic.]

Amazing and really menacing design...

 

[dakkumauji]

It looks cool. Looking at the Pokedex it definitely should look a lot bigger than what it seems.

 

[Teknoman]

Its looks like a Phantasy Star monster, therefore WIN.

 

[Antiwhippy]

My only problem with it, is that it's body is too short. It's more like a stump than a fully grown snake....

16"5 is too short?

I think it's just the game itself not being able to show pokemons as too large.

Mostly because of the naming scheme.

Xerneus = X

Yvetel = Y

Zygarde = Z?

 

[uber]

Xerneas has Fairy Aura, which boosts its Fairy-type attacks.
Yveltal has Dark Aura, which boosts its Dark-type attacks.

I'm guessing Zygarde's ability means that Xerneas' Fairy-type attacks and Yveltal's Dark-type attacks will have their power reduced rather than boosted while Zygarde is in play.

Yep, so it can somewhat counter Xerneas. Not sure why you would ever use a Dark attack on a Dragon/Ground...

 

[kirblar]

Unless it's secretly buried in there, a Ruby/Sapphire partner game sounds like the follow-up, in the footsteps of Fire Red and Heart Gold.

 

[Uno Venova]

wish Zygarde had a face.

 

[RagnarokX]

Is Zygarde a reference to Midgard/Asgard?

Also someone needs to parody this with Zygarde:

 

[Teknoman]

16"5 is too short?

I think it's just the game itself not being able to show pokemons as too large.

Wont they look large compared to other models?

 

[blue_phazon]

I meant its tail on the ground. I would've wanted that to look longer

 

[Village]

Im talking about a Phoenix being worth more than a damn piece of Ice, a piece of Rock, and a piece of Steel.

Pheonix?

You mean failed dynablade the rainboy turkey.

 

[clemenx]

I agree dunno why would he be Ground.

 

[Espada]

Wow, I love that creepy hexagon-eyed face he has as well as the frill/hood. Looks very cold and unique.

Man, the 3rd box art legendary is almost always slick looking. Also, that typing is awesome. Garchomp has a big bro now.
