How rare is Zygarde in Pokémon GO?

Zygarde is extremely rare and difficult to fully power up in Pokémon Go, not because it's hard to find initially (it's a guaranteed Special Research reward), but because evolving it to its 50% and especially its powerful 100% Complete Forme requires collecting a massive amount of Zygarde Cells via the Routes feature, which is time-consuming, inconsistent, and can be unavailable to some players. You're limited to 3 cells per day, and they often don't spawn, making the final form one of the hardest achievements in the game, notes GamePress, Reddit and Facebook groups.
