Pokémon Mascot Showdown: Generation VI

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‘.

    • I sos hunted for my shiny Grubbin.
      The trick is to switch grubbins after every 10 you killed, as soon as they run out of Vice grips to use well they tend to kill themselves @.@
      so far Grubbin is one of my longer hunts taking about 350 before getting my shiny XD now I’m hunting for mimikyu. Breaking all their necks

      • Yeah I’m roughly keeping up with how many vice grips they’ve used, I don’t want them to kill themselves hahaha. 350 is loooong damn, I’m at 30 now :’)

        • I am a very persistent shiny hunter. it took me 3 days to get my shiny Sandygast, and Mimikyu is getting close to that point as well XD;

  10. Out of curiousity, what’s everyone’s favourite Pokémon leitmotif?

    Leitmotif: A recurrent theme throughout a musical or literary composition, associated with a particular person, idea, or situation.

    Mine’s is the Tapu motif, found in the Ruins theme, Island Kahuna theme, Kahuna battle theme, Iki Town Festival theme, and Tapu battle theme.
