| 1 |  Back at Hotel Z, another trainer will want to see your worth now that you have both beings that "gives" and "takes". When you're ready, talk to L to start the battle. L's Pokemon: Lv.78 Pyroar Lv.78 Florges Lv.78 Sableye Lv.79 Garbodor Lv.79 Noivern Lv.80 Mega Gyarados L's team also has a good mix in type coverage, so it's difficult to brute force your way through with only one or two Pokemon. However, there's a chance that you can pull it off with three Pokemon. A Garchomp with good Dragon and Ground-type Moves can take on Pyroar, Garbodor, and Noivern. An Ampharos that knows Flash Cannon can take on Florges and Gyarados. Lastly, you'll need a Pokemon like Gardevoir to magically knock out the Sableye. |
| 2 |  After the fight, fast travel to Wild Zone 20 and look for Zygarde under the Prism Tower. As you might have already guessed, you'll fight all three Formes of Zygarde once you've accepted the challenge, so be really sure that you are prepared. Zygarde is weak to Ice, Dragon, and Fairy moves in all three Formes. Unsurprisingly, Gardevoir is still one of the best picks for this fight as it can spam Draining Kiss to keep itself healthy while dealing super effective damage. |
| 3 |  As for the fight itself, you can send in Gardevoir and have it alternate between Draining Kiss and Moonblast for the most part. However, there are attacks where you must recall Gardevoir and dodge yourself like Land's Wrath (used by 50% and Complete Formes), and Core Enforcer in its Complete Forme.  Core Enforcer will hit most of the arena, but there is always a small safe zone on both sides of the "Z" mark. Quickly run over to one of them before the ground explodes. Defeating Zygarde's Complete Forme will allow itself to be captured with any Poke Ball. Pick a Poke Ball you want Zygarde in and throw it to finish the battle! ► Zygarde Battle Strategy Guide |
| 4 |  L will hand over the Zygarde Cube after capturing Zygarde. This item allows Zygarde to switch between its 10% and 50% Formes. Zygarde will automatically change into its Complete Forme whenever its HP drops below 50%. The final mission will be completed after the cutscene. Congratulations on beating the game! ► Post-Game Content: What to Do After Beating The Game |
