FASTEST WAY to get Zygarde Cells in Pokémon GO!

There definitely is a benefit to finishing at least one route per day. The game keeps track of your daily route streak just like the Poke Stop and Catch streaks. You'll get some items and XP for finishing your daily route in addition to medals.

Very helpful content. Zygarde cells feel like such a wild goose chase. If you're lucky enough to live close to routes, sometimes the route glitches and you lose your progress. Sometimes you see a Zygarde cell and the route badge pops up and the cell disappears before you can tap on it. They're so hard to see when the sun is bright. I wish they would implement some feature where if you find one, it would just automatically appear in your bag like the rewards at the end of the route. They've made it so hard that it's very discouraging.

[@mathieupilon7471]

They could also do something like you need to have your buddy following you and he will automaticaly find cells while doing the routes.

I agree, you shouldn’t have to click on them, at least not when it’s so difficult. I’d rather stroll down the route not worrying about catching anything really 😊

Ive got to the end so many times and nothing and i have to imagine a few of those i missed it. It can be very hard to see. And a lot of times you just get to the end.

[@marcosalazar6263]

I just finished one and I’m pretty sure I found nothing. I saw a picture of the cell and expected a green thing to pop up but after this video, it’s a tiny particle effect that can barely be seen when the sun is beaming. I guess I’ll try again at night but it should still be easier to get if you’re already committing to doing a route

[@1up136]

I have gotten 3 cells every single day since they came out. I have 2 strategies here they are. I have found cell spawn to actually be almost 100%. It's just hard to navigate the route to make them spawn. Finally a video that has accurate info I keep seeing youtubers say 10% spawn ect Strategy 1. Travelling 60km/h Doing 3 different very short route. Stop 100m before end of route and wait for spawn slowly creep towards end point but never go within 50m of the end stop until you get the cell. Strategy 2. 1 long route my local one is 8km. After doing it at 60km/h stop at the 100m mark and walk around waiting for spawn making sure not to get to close to the end point. This gives 3 cells every time. Other things to note after doing the same 5 or 6 routes each day is that the cell spawn for each routes seems to be in the exact same spot every single time. I have not tried to do them slowly but I have gotten almost 100% spawn rate on cells the only time they didn't spawn was when I accidentally completed the route before it popped up as they will auto finish when you are around 50m from the end stop. And that's the actual stop not the end of the path. One route in particular I have to go to the end but then the spawn is next to the stop so I have to walk around 50m off the side of the route to get the spawn without it auto completing

I have had more than 3 spawns in a single route. From my account, it seems dependent on length of route. A route I created, about 2.5 km long, spawned 5 spawns from the starting to ending point. This would be a rate of an exclusive route spawn per 500 meters. An exclusive route spawn could be switched out by a zygarde cell. I have been unlucky a handful of times not having a zygarde cell to spawn from this route.

I've tried the "pause route, close app and reopen game & unpause" a total of 7 times with zero success.

Sometimes cells spawn BEHIND the end point of the route, which you cannot find because routes are automatically finished once you are near the end point. So what you do is what Daxi did: 1. Pause route near the end ( 100 - 60m ) 2. Force close the app and reopen 3. Wait a few seconds if the cell spawns, if not 4. Walk beyond the end point, sometimes you can find a cell there. optional 5. Unpause route, go back to your pause location and finish the route Sadly some routes are bugged and don't have route spawns and therefore no cells, avoid these routes for now.

[@Ranoake]

Routes auto complete under 40 meters, so pause around 50 meters before the end, now you are free to explore around the end of the route without it completing, and restarting the app too helps.

I can’t verify this yet (I’m too quick to transfer) but I’m pretty sure I’ve gotten more than 3 route spawns on a single route. I’ll try to confirm. Also, I haven’t seen this mentioned yet but MOST (not all) of the route spawn I’m getting seem to be local regionals, like Throh, Illumise, Seviper, Lunatune and Durant.

[@vincepeterson2834]

Great information!! Thank you for the work you do to help us all.

[@MyDamingo]

the reason that the routes finish near the end point is due to the way that the route is finished when creating routes it offers you the option when you get near to the nominated end point to finish the route this can mean that the distance is not to the stop just near it. a way around this i hope is to not end the route early to walk in a circle around end point to increase distance! so should not complete early

[@dylanherrtz]

still never saw a route icon over a pokemon

[@kylemills7161]

I kept getting cell spawns right at the end of the route, and then the route would auto-complete at the exact same time and I wouldn't have time to collect the cell. I've started pausing the route at about 60 to 80 meters from the end and just keep walking forward. If a cell spawns then you have plenty of time to collect it and you can go back close to where you paused it and finish the route. It works pretty well for me and is faster than restarting the app. There is one route closest to my house (one that I made actually) that I've done a dozen times and haven't gotten a cell from. The other routes I do seem to have a cell spawn at the same spot nearly every time, right at the end and past where you could actually go on the route before it auto-completes. I still only have maybe 24 cells, it is going to take a long time to get enough to get the 100% form. Maybe Niantic will do an event where you can pick up more cells or do tasks to get more cells as a reward or something, that would be really helpful. I also kind of wish you got cells automatically for completing routes, or it picked them up automatically so you don't have to worry about missing it. Missing cells on routes definitely makes me not want to bother with them, it is really demotivating.

[@kylemills7161]

Also, I was getting a weird error where the route would continuously pause and not let me actually walk the route. If this is happening to you, I fixed it by turning off adventure sync. After that it works like it is supposed to. Not sure if it is a weird hardware goof or what, but it works for me. Just have to remember to turn it back on later so you can keep hatching eggs.

I have a bit of contrary info. Today I walked a route, encountered the 3 route pokes and then also got a zygarde cell at the end. I suspect it may be because I've done about 15 routes total and have only gotten 2 zygarde cells so far including the one I just got. Niantic absolutely needs to do something to change the drop rate and all round glitchyness associated with routes and cells.

I love the idea of routes, I just wish it was implemented better. Walking at minimum half a kilometer for the chance if getting a cell is ridiculous - and that's if you have a route in you're area. I think completing a route should guarantee between the 1 and 3 cells. It kinna defeats the purpose of getting out there and exploring when you have to have your face glued to your phone during a route with hopes you get one cell. The other part of routes I'd like implemented is the benefit of getting bronze, silver and gold levels of a route. Having a higher medal for a route should reward you with better items or a higher chance of getting more cells.

I'm currently on 23 consecutive routes completed without a single cell. Can't forget the issue where sometimes a cell does show up and you click it and you're awarded nothing. Another issue with these routes I find is that cells show up at the end and the route will complete before it lets you click on it. This is so broken, I can't believe a company would put something out like this on live. I get you need to grind for cells, but over 50 routes completed and I have 5 cells, something isn't right.

Anyone else got a perfect zygard, cant wait to get those cells for the 100 form

[@TrentKilberg]

I was finally able to add some routes to my rural area. Added a couple short routes to walk my dog on still .. Maybe getting a cell ever 3rd day doing daily routes... route rewards are huge though..

[@mikeym94]

I have 2 routes near me (1 was made by me). I made 2 other routes but the process to verify takes so long. Niantic didn’t think this feature through, like with most of their decisions.

[@k.wieland8334]

This is strange. I've made routes that i've made, clicked finish, and then they were instantly available. Twice. So I don't know what the "review" is, or if I've made so many "good" ones that it does review them anymore?

[@arikinnunen314]

​@@k.wieland8334This also happened to me. Two routes appeared immediately when I stopped recording them. I'm happy because they are the only ones in my neighborhood 😄

[@mikeydeangelis6049]

I’ve found some routes somewhat local! Super excited.

[@cavie034]

you should definitly finsish the route you can get premium items and elite fast tms from finishing routes

[@Ranoake]

Still so many questions: Are the spawn locations centered around the route path or your location? Is Niantic aware of the no spawn bugged routes? How far apart are the spawns? Do short routes, like 500-600m long, still spawn things? Does the trick work on the short routes?

[@ihaveaoriginalname2076]

If you complete the route from the start to the finish would it not be simple if Niantic either reward you with a cell or reward when you end the route instead of pausing the game and reloading the game up and hoping the cell appears,done 4 routes and no cell,not expecting to get a cell every time I do a route,but the current system needs to be changed to work better

[@pyiemadofarmule]

even if zygarde cells are hard to find and routes aren’t great id recommend doing them. i earned a elite fast tm from completing my daily route

[@MalcolmClark-er7sl]

Ik this is old but definitely finish your routes you can get elite tm’s from them

[@wickedhero3764]

aint nobody got time for that

[@yusopazhar5633]

not you

[@LetsGoTry]

If route has no spawns at all it means this route is broken and it does not give you any spawn or zygarde cell.

[@robsonjawesthome4004]

My wife got 4 cells in one day, from 2 routes. We walked both routes in the afternoon, and again that night. she got a cell each time.

[@lilonex0]

I still have not seen one ... 5 routes later. I shall keep trying!

[@rdizzle_2002]

Im honestly gonna wait for shiny to change form bc it doesn’t seem like the games where u just collect 100 cell’s total and change multiple zygarde forms

[@S.Clause]

Tried to finish a route one night 😢 end of the route was behind a locked solid wall gates. Gates to a temple. ⛩️

[@clairslair]

Great video and helpful!! :) I just caught a zygarde :D

[@DaveSzumlanski]

Thanks, Daxi. I have gotten a cell about 50% of the time, but I may be doing something wrong. I appreciate the info here, and hopefully I can up my consistency with getting cells!

[@PokeFanIsHannah]

I looked in 4 towns and no routes

[@tylerscott8504]

I can finally confirm that you can get 4 zygarde cells in a day. Is this the max? I’m not sure, I used the ‘pause at 100 m, close app, reopen, unpause strategy and it worked for the first 4 of 6 routes I did last night. The remaining 2 yielded no cells, but I still can’t rule out that you could possibly get more. This is the 2nd time I’ve gotten 4 cells in one day.

[@levelup4202]

The routes “feature” is so broken. It’s a pain that you have to stop, pause the route and restart the game. On top of that the thing pretty much blinks and you miss it. First of all there should be a guaranteed cell for finishing a route. You finish the route and in the rewards is a cell. This would ensure players are finishing routes. It’s a win win situation and there is no blink and you miss it chance. Once you do a route and get a cell the player wouldn’t get any other cells for doing the route again that day. Along the route players would still have the “chance” of finding other cells. The 3/day limit could be for the route completion cells and then there are bonus cells that can be found along the route. 🤔

[@jahwesbless7483]

This is some good info bro, thanx ❤

[@sierra8702]

Used the trick today and it worked! Thanks!

[@Rebecca.Elizabeth]

I really wish it was an option for lower level players to add routes, because I hardly have any near me. One of the very few is actually one at a Walmart. Sorry, I don't want to walk around Walmart anymore than I already have to.

[@isoshsjsi1657]

Please daxi , you are one of the best pokemon go content creators . Don’t clickbait like that

[@hsah227]

I paused the route, no cell appeared then when I resumed and walked slowly towards the end it popped up. I think they updated some things I have had A LOT better luck since the update.
