Trivia

• Zygarde is the last Pokémon in alphabetical order.
• Zygarde has the highest base Defense of all Dragon-types.

Origin

Zygarde's appearance is based on a serpent in the shape of the letter Z. It may also draw inspiration from Níðhöggr, the serpent from the Poetic Edda, which resided at the bottom of the world tree Yggdrasill and gnawed at its roots. The patterns spread upon Zygarde's body are very similar to and may be based upon ribose and deoxyribose molecules. Its tail is possibly based in shape on base pair codons, the essential building blocks of the DNA double helix.

Name origin

Zygarde may be a combination of Z-axis, ζυγωτός zygōtos (Greek for joined), zygote, and garde (French for guard).
