Known as the Life Pokémon, Xerneas has the power to share eternal life, and its antlers glow in seven colors when it shares this energy. When its life span is nearing its end, it transforms into a tree and sleeps for a thousand years, sharing its life energy with all around it. Its design, reminiscent of a majestic stag, evokes themes of nature, life, and the cycle of existence. In the games, Xerneas is central to the plot of Pokémon X, where its power is sought after by Team Flare.

Its pure Fairy typing made it a formidable force against Dragon-type Pokémon upon its introduction, fundamentally shifting the competitive landscape.
