On top of celebrating the new Routes mechanic, this event also sees the release of Zygarde. This member of the 'Aura trio' hails from Gen 6 and is obtainable by participating in the From A to Zygarde special research.

Alongside Zygarde, you can also complete the Blaze New Trails field research tasks and collect Zygarde Cells while on Routes, which are required to change Zygarde's Form.
