From the teraleak>When using force to subdue those who disrupt the balance of the ecosystem, if it determines that the 50% form is not enough to counter them, it will gather its remaining cores and cells and assume this form. Once the battle is over and its goal is achieved, it will quickly release the form and return to its 50% or 10% form.>・The 10% form is for "monitoring," the 50% form is for "judging," and the perfect form is for "(military) intervention." The roles differ depending on the form.>In the Kalos region, it has power that surpasses Xerneas and Yveltal. The balance of the ecosystem in the Kalos region is largely influenced by their power balance, so it will ultimately use force to suppress and restore the balance. A Pokemon that ranks above Xerneas and Yveltal. If human actions disrupt the balance of the ecosystem, it may use its power against people.So if the 10% form is for "monitoring", the 50% form is for "judging" and the perfect form is for "(military) intervention" what is Mega Zygarde for? A literal nuke?
>>58541924It’s scorched earth
>>58541924I heard he was supposed to have a form that looked like a wild tiger or something and also one that was supposed to be a hunter (so like he’d hunt Xerneas and Yvetal I guess)
>>58541937>tigerNo, they just planned two super forms, one for Pokemon ZX and one for Pokemon ZY but when they decided to scrap those and move into Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon they repurposed those, the deer-hunting wolf was tonned down into 10% forme and the bird-hunting human was given more neutral traits to act as the only super form.That's development stuff from XY anyway, OP's is from SM when they already decided into Zygarde's current forms
>>58541924It doesn't really matter because everything about Zygarde is cobbled together from half finished conflicting lore. Zygarde cells each represent 1% of zygarde, at one point in development I garuntee zygarde was just a collectathon. Heck I bet at one point in the development of ZA, it was the colorful screws. there are exactly 100 of them. and wouldn't it make a lot more sense to collect the bits of zygarde yourself? It was probably scrapped because at the end of the day, collecting EVERYTHING wasn't fun. but collecting enough was.
>>58541968>conflicting loreConflicting with your headcanon doesn't really count tho
>>58541924Accurate Scale
>>58541968>It doesn't really matter because everything about Zygarde is cobbled together from half finished conflicting lore.TrueDog forme and mecha should’ve been 680 BST «counters» to Xerneas and Yveltal as intended from the teraleak
>>58541968I think it's a bit lame to have two “super forms.”I prefer what we ended up with. The fact that the secondary legendary Pokémon are split into two distinct forms seems a bit forced, just to produce two versions.
>>58541924Mega Zygarde quite literally ONLY exists because of the wishes of the people and the rampant Mega Energy flowing all over the place during Ange's rampage. The dex entry mentions this form was formed specifically "during a moment of crisis" and if you analyze the design you'll see that most the actual cells are at the top forming the cannon with some forming the shoulders and a scant few on the knees-it literally NEEDED the excess energy from Mega Evolution (now forming it's body) in order to achieve the form.
>>58542171That's very nice but it doesn't really answer the question at all
>>58542162Kyurem could have become the Original Dragon again.Dividing Zygarde into two ultimate forms was a mistake, but luckily that didn't happen.Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings are just duplicates of Solgaleo and Lunala; the Ultra form was sufficient. Calyrex could have regained its original power without a horse, but they preferred to create two, and we don't even know which one is canon because they have the same role. Whereas in Diamond, Palkia's role in the myths is defined (space) and different from Dialga's (time), even though in the story they are interchangeable.
>>58542248It directly addresses the question. "What is Mega Zygarde's purpose?" It's purpose was stopping Ange Floette's final Light of Ruin, that's literally it.
>>58542284More generally, I'm sure he could use it against the Ultimate Weapon.
>>58542284Nigger we area talking about the conceptual purpose. Complete Zygarde's conceptual purpose is military intervention but it's not a literal military intervention in any game is it? Fucking dumbass
>>58542353>Complete Zygarde's conceptual purpose is military intervention but it's not a literal military intervention in any game is it?We quite literally see it directly step in to fight a threat, just like how we see 10% Zygarde surveil us across the story and it uses 50% to judge our readiness only a few hours before the disaster hits. The form's "conceptual" purposes manifested directly in this game, so Mega Zygarde's is obviously informed by it's own actions.
>>58542353It's probably figurative, to suggest that he uses it when he has to exterminate the enemy or when the danger is too great.
>>58541924It IS a nuke. A last resort when everything else fails and you need to level everything and reset it back to zero, hence the attack's japanese name: Light that Returns (Everything) to Nothing.
>>58541924>what is Mega Zygarde for? A literal nuke?I mean, basically? Its dex even says this>In response to people's emotions during an unprecedented crisis, Zygarde Mega Evolves and calms the situation with its unmatched power.When nothing else can be done it will throw everything it has at an attempt to solve the issue. Just my headcanon, but Zygarde knew that its Mega Form was strong enough to completely erase most threats, which is why it gave the Nuclear Code (Mega Stone) to the ZA MC.
>>58543147>Zygarde handles you the nuclear codes in the middle of the game so once you are strong enough you can command him to nuke Ange
>>58542353>the conceptual purposeIt hasn't been leaked yet, pleased be patient.
>>58541924>From the teraleakUntil the teraleak for the design process of the entirety of ZA has been provived to us by the hacker of GameFreak's severs, then we have no concrete knowledge of Mega Zygrade's purpose in the develeopment of said game.For all we know, it could be similar to Episode Delta of ORAS: were a Trainer must be worthy enough to create a megastone to help said legendary to achieve a form to stop a crisis (Rayquaza:Meteor;Zygarde:Weapon).
>>58542253>Kyurem could have become the Original Dragon again.Remake soon.
>>58541924When you boil it all down, ZA is similar to Episode Delta of ORAS where you have to Mega Evolve said legendary to save the day. Hell, Zygarde initially served a purpose similar to Rayquaza; keeping the the two box legendaries in line.
>>58543736No shit, the Kalos legendaries are intentionally designed as Hoenn legendaries parallels
>>58543612Unova is dead bro
>>58543521>>58543555>it hasn't been leakedever heard of speculation
>>58541924I think you may be missing this crucial bit of info still from the Teraleak, I'm afraid I cannot provite any concrede evidence since I saved this almost one year ago by now so you decide wheter to trust this or not(But anyway it is undeniably PLAUSIBLE at least, wouldn't you say?)
>>58546207I think you are a retard, that's from his planned forms for Pokemon XY third edition(s) while OP is talking about the actual forms he got in gen 7 and now gen 9. Whatever was planed for Pokemon XZYZ or whatever they would call it doesn't really matter now he either got it in a different way or was discarded entirely
>>58546207Well, that explains the statues at the Kalos league.
>>58541966>>58547361>one for Pokemon ZX and one for Pokemon ZY>Pokemon XZYZIt was just Z.
Zygarde is so fucking cool
swarm change was a mistakejigarude's formes should only have aura break
>>58547437No that was discussed in a second file detailing the fact that Kalos league is supposed to emphasize unity and harmony between pokèmon and human, so you have the pokèmon (generic beast) statue and human (generic cloacked man) statue
>>58541924Mega Zygarde exists solely to counter Ange. When Zygarde protected the Kalos region from the Ultimate Weapon he spent all his energy, and traveled to Alola, with its bright sunlight, to restore itself. Zygarde can regenerate its energy via photosynthesis. While there it also learned how to use Z-Moves, which it incorporated into its Mega, turning Core Enforcer into Light That Returns To Nothing.
>>58541924ZA followed this logic, it moves around as 10% for delivering messages and observing, turns into 50% to judge and test you during the league, turns into 100% to intervene with the mega to finish things off.If 100% is military intervention then mega evolution is the nuke to definitively end the conflict either by death or MAD fear
