Read more ↓Xerneas is a legendary Fairy-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI, first appearing in the Kalos region. Known as the Life Pokémon, Xerneas has the power to share eternal life, making it a revered and mythical figure in the Pokémon world. Its design is inspired by the stag, particularly the deer of Norse mythology, with antlers that glow in various colors. In the Pokémon X and Y games, Xerneas is the mascot for Pokémon X, representing life and creation, contrasting with Yveltal, which embodies destruction. Xerneas’s signature move, Geomancy, is a powerful Fairy-type attack that boosts its Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed. Its natural habitat is said to be deep within forests, where it sleeps for a thousand years in the form of a tree before its revival. Xerneas is a standalone legendary Pokémon, meaning it does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon. As a Fairy-type, it is strong against Fighting, Dragon, and Dark types, and weak to Poison and Steel types. Its role in the games and anime often revolves around its life-giving properties and its connection to the balance of nature.
