Xerneas (ゼルネアス, Xerneas) is a creature from the Pokémon series.

Origin

Xerneas is a Fairy-type Legendary Pokémon that serves as the version mascot of Pokémon X, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #716 as the "Life Pokémon". Legend says that it possesses the power to bestow eternal life. In the National Pokédex, it is registered as #716.

Geomancy is Xerneas' signature move, which is a Fairy-type move that only Xerneas can learn naturally: after one turn spent charging, it raises the user's Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed by two levels each.

Xerneas appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. 4. Because it is a legendary Pokémon, it can also be summoned by a Master Ball. When summoned, it uses its signature move, Geomancy; this causes all players' attacks to have increased knockback, though the summoner is affected by this boost more than the other players.

In both versions it must be unlocked by completing a specific challenge before being able to appear:

Ntsc The horns on Xerneas's head give this Fairy-type Pokémon the power to bestow eternal life. It emanates energy with a move called Geomancy that causes all the fighters to glow. As pretty as it is, this makes everyone more easily launchable. Know when to take advantage and when to lay low.
Pal The horns on Xerneas's head give this Pokémon the power to bestow eternal life. When summoned in a match, energy will emanate from it and make all fighters glow. Pretty it may be, but this Geomancy move makes everyone much easier to launch. Knowing that, will you take advantage of the situation, or try to stay out of the way?
