Reddit user dare978devil discovered that to find Zygarde Cells, it seems allPokemon GOplayers need to do is restart the game. ExploringPokemon GORoutes is the onlyway to get Zygarde Cells, which the player and their son were doing at the time of the discovery. The player’s app crashed and restarted, and when they resumed the Route, they found a cell next to them. Their son then repeated the process twice even though their game hadn’t crashed, and got a Zygarde Cell on the second attempt. The next day they explored two more Routes and stopped with 75 meters to go, restarted the game a few times, and found six Zygarde Cells in a row. Now the duo is making 75-meter restarts to find Zygarde Cells, or at least until the cells appear without the need for restarts. The reaction to the post suggests that this method has worked for otherPokemon GOplayers, but mileage may vary.

The appearance of Zygarde Cells tied toPokemon GORoutes is proving to be a nightmare for the community, to the point that many players are stillstuck on the Zygarde Special Research. The difficulty in getting Zygarde Cells has led to growing frustration withPokemon GORoutes, a feeling shared by the comments on dare978devil’s post. Several players have complained about the difficulty of finding Routes. Players have also reported a series of glitches happening withPokemon GORoutes.

Although the problems with obtaining Zygarde Cells and the glitches caused by Routes still wait for a solution,Niantic is aware of both situations. The studio has revealed that it is working on a fix for the Routes issues, something that may also be impacting the chances of finding Zygarde Cells.Pokemon GOplayers can only wait for this fix and hope that it really improves the experience with both features.
