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.

Does driving count as walking in Pokemon go?

Pokemon Go doesn't count normal driving as walking because it has a speed limit for tracking distance (around 10.5-13 km/h or 6-8 mph), but it can count very slow driving (like in heavy traffic or just moving slowly) or be tricked by GPS spoofing apps, though this isn't recommended. The game uses Adventure Sync to track distance when the app is closed, but it's designed to differentiate between walking and fast travel, often showing your avatar running or biking to indicate no distance earned.
