Pokémon Mascot Showdown: Generation VI

by

Greetings everyone, here is another Mascot Pokémon Showdown. The winner of last time is Zekrom with 35%!
Now it’s time for Kalos. Generation VI released in 2013 with a worldwide release for the first time. This generation contained just two main games, namely X and Y, and featured some great new stuff like the Fairy-typing, Mega Evolution and trainer customization.

Pokémon X Version

Pokémon X showcased Xerneas, the Life Pokémon. It’s the first Fairy-type Legendary and is a stag-like creature shaped like an X. The horns on its head contain the colors of the rainbow and can grant someone eternal life. When it’s at the end of its own life, it transforms into a tree and sleeps for 1000 years.

There is no other Pokémon known than Xerneas that can learn the move Geomancy, making it the only Legendary Mascot whose signature move is a status move. It has the same stat distribution as Yveltal, but has the highest base stat total and Attack stat of all non-Mega Evolved Fairy-type Pokémon. Its name may come from the letter ‘X‘ and ‘cervus‘ (Latin for ‘deer’).

Pokémon Y Version

Pokémon Y featured Yveltal, the Destruction Pokémon. It is an avian Pokémon with the Dark/Flying type combo. Its wings and tail make the letter Y when fully extended. It has the power to absorb life energy. In contrast to Xerneas, Yveltal sucks all the life energy of every living thing around it when it is at the end of its life, creating a cocoon of itself so it can sleep for 1000 years.

Yveltal‘s signature move is called Oblivion Wing. It has the highest base HP stat of all Dark-type Pokémon and is actually also the only Dark-type Mascot Legendary Pokémon known yet. Its name possibly derives from the letter ‘Y‘, ‘yvel‘ (Middle English for ‘evil’) and ‘talon‘.

      Now prepare for a crazy long sequence of stuff.
      Also Tapu Koko will return if you faint it, so be sure to do so if you want a nice nature.

    • Right? I thought I was so overleveled at one point, but I ended up being a little underleveled too by the end. It was actually such a nice surprise, imo, because it made the E4 and Champion an actual challenge. Nothing worse than getting to the end of a Pokémon game and just breezing through the conclusion.

  20. Wow, I don’t know if anyone else discovered this, but after a good amount of visits or so, you’ll actually be able to go against the Buffet Queen. Afterwards, if you win, a short thing will play on you becoming Buffet Queen/King, and her retiring. It’s a cool feature!

  25. Oh good grief, this Pichu summed a Pikachu (possibly its other) first turn. Should I not catch the Pikachu and focus on Pichu? Or vies-versa?
