Everything we know about Xerneas
Xerneas was the mascot of Pokémon X and, along with Yveltal and Zygarde, is part of the Aura Trio of the Kalos region.
Xerneas and Yveltal are counterparts to each other: Xerneas embodies life, while Yveltal is a force of death.
Using his horns, Xerneas is able to grant life to the world, and at the end of his life, Xerneas is able to release this energy into the world around him, before transforming into a giant tree where he will sleep for 1000 years.
The inspiration for Xerneas clearly comes from a deer, and the design of its antlers may have been taken from Eucaldoceros. This is an extinct breed of deer whose fossils have been found throughout Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia. These fossils suggest that Eucaldocera had impressive branched antlers, which divided in several places.
Good luck catching Xerneas in Pokémon Go!
