::And a serpent could shape it's body into the letter Z, just like Yveltal is shaped like a Y and Xerneas is (kind of) shaped like an X. Yggdrasil as the design origin for the legendaries seems quite possible. I find myself almost hoping that it's true, because it seems to fit so perfectly. --[[User:Alex726|<font color="#7F7F7F">'''Alex'''</font><font color="#000000">'''726'''</font>]]<sub>[[User talk:Alex726|<font color="#007100">'''(T</font><font color="#DF0000">AL</font><font color="#0000A0">K)'''</font>]]</sub> 02:10, 4 April 2013 (UTC) | ::And a serpent could shape it's body into the letter Z, just like Yveltal is shaped like a Y and Xerneas is (kind of) shaped like an X.

I think another design inspiration for Xerneas was the prehistoric deer [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucladoceros Eucladoceros]. In fact I think it fits Xerneas better than the Ghibli character does. [[User:Nekno|Nekno]] ([[User talk:Nekno|talk]]) | |||
What about the Buddhist story about the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Deer_of_Nine_Colors? [[User:8bitlives|8bitlives]] | |||

This is my two cents here, but from what me and a friend discussed a week or so ago, Xerneas is essentially Yggdrasil (Especially if you look at it's cocoon form), the Norse Tree. Yveltal is Ragnarok, a Norse Doomsday Event relating to Yggdrasil. Lastly, Zygarde is Nidhogg, one of the Wyrms that resides underneath Yggdrasil. Any opinions on this matter?

== Possible Hindu origin == | |||
Xerneas is called the ''Life Pokémon'' while Yveltal is the ''Destruction Pokémon''. There are two Hindu deities who have these attributes; Vishnu is the sustainer of life and love, while Shiva is the destroyer. These two deities have connection to each other, called {{wp|Harihara}}, the combination deity of the two. The connection between the Pokémon and the deities is not too far-fetched. Anybody have any ideas? [[User: Ariano|Արիանո]] 16:02, 27 October 2013 (UTC) | |||
:I completely agree with you on how Xerneas and Yvetal are based on Hindu mythology. And Zygarde seems to match up with Brahma as the preserver of life as it monitors the ecosystem.--[[User:Teamg9|Teamg9]] ([[User talk:Teamg9|talk]]) 12:23, 9 November 2013 (UTC) | |||
::I can't make heads or tails of the Hindu mythology relating to this all. But adding it as a possible origin is something I would support. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 04:36, 19 November 2013 (UTC) | |||
:::Ok this is interesting, Vishnu rests on the Ananta, the immortal infinite snake. in Norse mythology, the Midgard Serpent bites its own tail, and forms an infinity symbol. Zygarde us a snake, and its already suspected to have possible basis on the Midgard Serpent. Also Ananta was saved by Brahma I still can't fully understand this all but there might be something to a hindu influence.

:Xerneas is also affiliated with the color Blue, just as Vishnu and his most famous Avatars, Rama and Krishna are.--MithrandirOlorin888 12:37, 15 September 2014 (UTC) | |||
== Tree Form == | |||
Think we should add a pic of its Tree/sleeping form?--[[User:BigBadBatter|BigBadBatter]] ([[User talk:BigBadBatter|talk]]) 05:42, 5 November 2013 (UTC) | |||
== Shiny trivia == | |||
Because Xerneas has its Shiny form, Pokémon X and Y are programmed that Xerneas cannot be Shiny, and it shares this trait with Yveltal and Zygarde. Is this piece of trivia notable? --[[User:Cinday123|<span style="color:pink">Cinday123</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:Cinday123|<span style="color:lightblue">Talk</span>]])''</small> 23:53, 29 March 2014 (UTC) | |||
:It also shares this trait with Victini, Zekrom, Reshiram, and any other Pokemon that is unable to be legitimately obtained shiny. It's not notable. --[[User:Funktastic~!|<span style="color:#009900">'''It's'''</span> <span style="color:#CC66FF">'''Funktastic~!'''</span>]][[User talk:Funktastic~!|<sub><small><span style="color:#99CCFF">''話してください''</span></small></sub>]] 23:55, 29 March 2014 (UTC) | |||
::So can we remove pieces of trivia about programmed not to be Shiny on {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, and {{p|Zekrom}} pages? --[[User:Cinday123|<span style="color:pink">Cinday123</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:Cinday123|<span style="color:lightblue">Talk</span>]])''</small> 00:01, 30 March 2014 (UTC) | |||
== Can one legimately acquire one without 3 perfect IVs? == | |||
For example, could Xerneas ever learn Hidden Power Fighting? [[User:Bbbbbbbbba|Bbbbbbbbba]] ([[User talk:Bbbbbbbbba|talk]]) 04:04, 5 April 2014 (UTC) | |||
:I don't know about Hidden Power but no, no legit Xerneas will ever have less than three 31s, due to being in the {{egg|Undiscovered}} Egg Group. <small>[[User:Glik|glik]]</small><sup>[[User talk:Glik|glak]]</sup> 05:27, 5 April 2014 (UTC) | |||
== Ceryneian hind == | |||
Should it be mentioned that it has similarities to a Ceryneian hind? Both are deer with golden antlers.Little Freezachu/Freeze 00:04, 17 December 2014 (UTC) | |||
