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‘.

  1. QUESTION: I just registered for my first ever Battle Spot competition. I had to pre-register a Battle Box to do so. Can I no longer use those Battle Box Pokémon/give them any items until the competition is over?

  3. Yo what if we , all of us from pokejungle, were in a Pokémon anime series. That would be perfect :3

    (And we could make an anime arc leading up to Star accepting Toucannon as best birb)

  4. Alright guys, I’ve decided that I love the anime idea too much to let it go! So I’ll do three key scenes from it, a la Generations

    Grounded-Seraph’s match with his opponent ends badly when the Earthen Dominion attacks.

    Fairy Unsettling-Seraph discovers the disturbing lengths Star will go to keep her commanders compliant.

    Infiltration-The Aether Foundation loses something precious, as Jordan gains consciousness after the events at Lush Jungle.

  5. So my first battle leading with Araquanid I run into a Ferrothorn

    My first two battles leading with Pelipper I run into Electric Types

    The counter teaming is real in this game.

  6. I finally finished programming a tic-tac-toe game today! 😀
    I know it doesn’t sound like much, but this is my first semester in this field, and I haven’t worked on it in a while, because I’ve been so busy. Even thought it’s super small, it feels like a big accomplishment to me, so I just wanted to share.

    Shoot, I need to say something on topic. Uhhhhh, Porygon. That’s the best I’ve got.
