pokemon rejuvenation zygarde cell locations: Quest Guide

The Zygarde Quest is a long-term collection objective in Pokémon Rejuvenation. It becomes available in Chapter 1 after defeating Venam, giving you an early reason to revisit areas as the story opens new routes and buildings.

To begin, travel to Gearen Help Plaza and speak with Ayuda, the NPC positioned in the top-left area. Ayuda asks you to gather 150 Zygarde Cells and 5 Zygarde Cores. The currently documented v13.5.7 progress is lower than that requested total: 140 Cells and 1 Core are available, and one Cell can be missable because of a known bug.

The most important planning rule is to treat the quest as a tracking project rather than a single-area pickup. Some locations become practical only after story progression, while others may require checking older zones carefully.

Quest Availability

The quest is currently documented as incomplete in v13.5.7. That means the requested total and the presently available total do not match. This is useful when checking your own progress: failing to reach 150 Cells does not automatically mean you missed a normal pickup.

Because the available documentation does not provide a complete area-by-area coordinate list, the safest approach is to use a structured search record. This avoids guessing at locations and helps separate an unavailable Cell from one that was overlooked.

Use one row for every major area you inspect. Record the number of Cells found, whether a Core was present, and whether the area is fully accessible at your current story point. If an area contains blocked paths or an inaccessible building, label it as pending instead of marking it complete.

Recommended Search Record

A reliable search record should include the save version, current Cell total, current Core total, and the last area visited. These details are especially valuable when the quest total does not match the number you expected.

The Zygarde Quest rewards progress in stages rather than requiring the full requested collection before giving anything. Early rewards help you improve exploration and training, while the 100-Cell milestone provides the quest’s most recognizable Pokémon reward.

The reward table below follows the documented v13.5.7 milestones. “Cell Imprint” is listed as a reward at several stages, so keep collecting even after receiving the first item.

The reward pattern creates several useful checkpoints:

• The 5-Cell reward arrives quickly once the quest is active.
• The 15-Cell and 25-Cell rewards provide held items that can support different training goals.
• The 75-Cell reward is valuable for leveling Pokémon more efficiently.
• The 100-Cell plus one Core milestone is the key target for obtaining Zygarde 10%.
• The 120-Cell milestone is the highest listed reward checkpoint in the documented quest data.

A good collection route prioritizes information quality over speed. Start with areas you can fully access, then revisit incomplete zones after story events. This approach reduces repeated travel and makes a missing Cell easier to isolate.

When checking an area, follow the same pattern:

• Sweep the main path from entrance to exit.
• Inspect side paths before leaving the map.
• Enter every currently available building.
• Check corners, dead ends, and elevated sections.
• Record the total immediately after leaving.
• Mark inaccessible doors or blocked routes as pending.

Do not combine Cell and Core tracking into one number. The quest’s important Zygarde 10% reward requires 100 Cells and 1 Core, and the requested totals also distinguish between the two collectible types.

Collection Priorities

Save Management

Use a separate backup save before testing a suspicious pickup or entering an area affected by a progression event. A backup is particularly useful if your count appears to stop at a number that does not match the next reward milestone.

The documented quest page identifies the v13.5.7 state as incomplete. For updates and any later corrections, consult the Zygarde Quest page on the Rejuvenation Wiki. Check the page date and version notes when comparing information with your own save.

Use this checklist while working through the quest. It is designed to prevent the most common tracking mistakes: forgetting the quest NPC, mixing Cells with Cores, and assuming every requested collectible is currently obtainable.

Final Progress Checks

If your total reaches 120 Cells, claim the milestone rewards before continuing. This gives you a clear confirmed checkpoint and ensures that the Modest Mint, five Cell Imprints, and twenty Exp. Candy XL are accounted for.

If you reach 140 Cells in v13.5.7, do not assume that five additional normal pickups are available. The documented quest state lists 140 available Cells, one potentially missable Cell, and only one currently available Core.
