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. Can we just point this out?

    Tapu Bulu destroyed a super market built on its burial ground…. but only after it opened to the public

  2. Alright it should sleep it’s been fun explaining why Toucannon is trash and why using it is dishonor on you and your entire family.

    So here are more seemingly unpoplular opinions

    Olivia was really cool and I like her

    B2W2 weren’t that good. Good post game though

    Male Unfezant is actually kinda neat

    Red and Blue should never be remade again

    Battle Revolution was fun. Like it sucked but I loved it

    Not an opinion but I just wanted to say that I bought Pokemon Ranch not really knowing what it was and I only had Platinum and Soul Silver so I never got any use from it

    • -Toucannon is epic
      -Olivia is meh
      -B2W2 almost certainly weren’t that good, but I’ve never played them
      -Unfezant is meh but only as much as most other regional birds
      -R&B remakes would be liveable if they improved Kanto a lot
      -Never played, should have been a sequel to Pokemon XD instead
      -They updated it to use Platinum in Japan. What happened to your Diamond/Pearl?

      • -Toucannon is Meh I like most Pokémon equal
        -Not a fan of Olivia
        -I enjoyed B2W2
        -Only good part of Unfezant was male form
        -I would like after D&P remake a Red and Blue remake
        -I loved Battle Revolution
        -Never cared for or wanted to play ranch

        • -Toucannon is currently my favourite Flying/Normal pokemon. It’s the first regional bird (apart from Talonflame) I’ve got some decent use out of.

          -Agreed
          -Noted
          -It’s so-so
          -Again, only if they massively improved Kanto, it’s pretty dull as-is
          -It was so-so, played it once at a friend’s house
          -Would have been handy at the time for its Bank-like purposes

    • I’m not sure how unpopular these points are because I completely agree with all of them except B2W2 (love those games) xD… Wellll, Battle Revolution was a ton of fun, but I feel like the main games having 3D models sadly makes it obsolete now.

  4. I’ve been trying to see if I can figure out how the SM Pokedex QR codes work by looking at the data they contain but so far I’ve only managed to discover that they are all different lengths and all end in POKE and then the byte ‘3’ (which in the windows console is a heart).

      • Same here! Pokémon lends itself so well to fantasy, shame it barely dabbles into it (it seems to prefer low key modern fantasy with a bit of Sci-fi)

        What’s yours about?

        Reply
        • People usually never do the times during the Pokemon wars which would be more low-to-high fantasy than urban fantasy (which the modern Pokemon is)

          And by old war, they could’ve used the one in the Lucario movie or in X&Y’s plot…

        • Well it’s kinda weird but it involves this ogress being falsely accused of devouring humans and was to be sentenced to death, and I’m the “Murder hobo” they hired to do the job, but I took pity on it and either set it free or convince her to work for me

          Reply
          • But the story turns bad near halfway
            It starts out all fun and easy shaking down bad guys and raiding dungeons, but soon after the one dirty Captian of the guards kinda plans to get rid of her when we stumble onto some kinda secret and lots of stuff

            I literally thought of this on the fly and fell in love with the idea, oh and the ogress is named Orchid

          • Ehhh she’s the more misunderstood type, accused of being a monster despite her civility also the era is fantasy so most humans harbor prejudice towards most ogres, Giants, ogres and troll kind

  5. Haxford I thought of a good idea for the next voting how about each trio for the regions like

    Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos first
    Suicune, Entei, Raikou second
    The Regi’s third
    Lake Guardians fourth
    Justice trio fifth
    Ignore Gen.6 it had none
    Tapu’s last

  9. Forgot to mention, but I’ve got 5 5IV Bounsweet. No egg moves (I didn’t tweet them for the chain) and only one has Oblivious, but they’re all Adamant with 31 IVs in every stat sans Sp. Attack

    Anyone interested?
