Where to find it
Game abbreviations follow the standard Pokémon series conventions.
Generation VII
- The Zygarde Cube stores Zygarde Cells and Cores for the player to use with the Reassembly Unit . The Zygarde Cube can hold a maximum of 999 Cells and Cores (by using the Reassembly Unit's separation function). It can be used to switch a Zygarde with the Ability Power Construct between its 10% and 50% Formes.
- In Pokémon Sun and Moon , Cells and Cores can be found in most locations in Alola , but none are present until the player obtains the Zygarde Cube. There are 95 Cells and 5 Cores to be found across the Alola region . They appear as small sparks of light on the ground, with Cells shining green and Cores shining pink. If the Zygarde Cube is full, the player can still collect Cells and Cores from the field.
- If the player selects the "Check" option on the Zygarde Cube, it will tell them how many Cells and Cores they have collected from the locations in their game and how many they currently have in total. As the player reaches certain collection milestones, Dexio and Sina will contact the player to explain the Zygarde Cube, Cells, and Cores.
- In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon , no Zygarde Cells or Cores are found in the field, and the player obtains the Zygarde Cube after catching the 50% Forme Zygarde in Resolution Cave and obtaining a 10% Forme Zygarde from Dexio afterwards, with the Cube already containing 40 Cells and Cores when obtained. This effectively gives the player 100 Cells and Cores to use with the Reassembly Unit (if they separate at least one of the Zygarde).

- The Zygarde Cube can teach five moves to Zygarde. In Pokémon Sun and Moon , the player must find specific Zygarde Cores to be able to teach each move. In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon , all five moves are teachable as soon as the Zygarde Cube is received.
- Core Enforcer Thousand Arrows Thousand Waves Extreme Speed Dragon Dance
Generation VIII
- The Zygarde Cube no longer teaches Zygarde moves. Zygarde can instead learn its signature moves any time as level 1 moves via Jack 's Move Reminding service, and Dragon Dance via TR51 ; it is no longer possible for it to learn Extreme Speed in Generation VIII unless one is transferred over from a Generation VII game through Pokémon HOME . However, it can learn Extreme Speed again at level 81 in Pokémon Legends: Z-A . The Zygarde Cube can be used to change Zygarde into its 10% or 50% Forme and to switch its Ability between Aura Break and Power Construct ( Ability Capsules and Ability Patches have no effect on Zygarde).
