Well I haven't seen it, and I have to say, that is very interesting. Can shares Eternal life and slept for a thousand years in the form of a tree? I like him more now. Got Yvyltal's dex entry?

Eh, life is a game.
Ghost/Fairy for the win!
If Fairies technically can't die, you would think Ghost would be effective on them or vice-versa.
Wow, I love its Dex entry!!!
Also, do we have any infos about Greninja's Dex entry yet? We have Yveltal/Xerneas Dex entry, where is Greninja's?
No I meant that Xerneas coud use Geomancy to boost it's stats, and THEN use a fairy type move which would be boosted thanks to Fairy Aura. That would still be insanely powerful.

I'm definitely not an expert but this seems kinda "meh" next to Yveltal's Oblivion Wing.

Well, that explains those strangely-intricate antlers of his at least. Yveltal's Dex entry was much more interesting, though.
Well, Infernape got it (though you'd have to pull a few strings to get to it), so why not lend the move to Froakie's line too? Good thing I plan on using him first.

It is Quiver dance x2 already has good overall stats, and gets boltbeam combo. yeah, Xerneas is AWESOME.
You mean "Fairy isn't super-effective against Metagross like it is against all the other Pseudos," right? Because it does affect Steel/Psychic.
If Fairy is flying around because of the hype or whatever, Metagross does enjoy the resist. But gaining the Dark and Ghost weaknesses is still not fun.
In addition though, they gain two new weaknesses; Dark and Ghost. They lost more than they gained.

Actually, Double team is banned because it makes the game even MORE luck based then it already is, which is not very conducive to a Competitive environment. Also, the Double Team ban is more of a Courtesy used by a lot of players, many who ignore smogon still follow it.
I do agree on the drizzle/swift swim part though, it is stupid and seems there just so their precious Sand teams are kept the most powerful. They also are a bit hypocritical with their Ban list, banning some pokemon deemed powerful but ignoring the ones used on nearly every team and who shape the meta game. Still they are the only source outside of the official one to try and help with the games balance, even if they are not always very good at it, you have to give them that at least.
Anyway, YAY, Xerneas's stats are revealed, now for someone to figure out what its base stats are
They are very good at what they do. Smogon bans anything that makes the metagame game all about that one thing. Rain + Swift Swim is banned due to the fact that going first, even with only mediocre stats, means that you will have an advantage 70% of the time. However, it is more about the fact that, not only does Rain give a boost to swift swimmers, but it also makes their WATER-type attacks hit like tidal waves; in short, it covers most of the weaknesses of the swimmers without presenting enough of a drawback.

Ah. Now I feel a bit ignorant...ehehe.
That does make Xerneas the Fairy Version of Kyogre now, doesn't it? Our stag of life just seems to outclass Yveltal as the days go by. I figured it would go this way the moment I saw his appearance back in January.
Seconded.
Any charge move is just asking for trouble if used in a real competitive environment...that is partially why I hope Xerneas learns an extra signature move at level 100, like the Tao Trio did.

...So it is a Pheonix that kills when it is reborn? That...is AMAZING. I knew I liked Yveltal for a reason!

They're basically two selfish jerks.
Xerneas can share its eternal life, but lets everyone die and takes a thousand-year nap like it just doesn't care.
Yveltal doesn't want to die, so instead it kills everything around it in order to steal their life force and remain immortal.
I love these bastards.
