==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Xerneas has the highest Attack base stat and the highest base stat total of all non-[[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.
* Xerneas has several unique attributes:
** It is the only {{type|Fairy}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].
** It is the only [[game mascot]] whose [[signature move]] is a [[status move]].
* Xerneas has the same stat distribution as {{p|Yveltal}}.
* Xerneas has the same stat distribution as {{p|Yveltal}}.
* Xerneas is the only game mascot whose signature move is a status move.
* Xerneas, along with Yveltal, was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]]. Initial design for the two Legendary Pokémon was started by Sugimori, but he encountered "[[wp:Writer's block|artist's block]]". For the first time, he handed the work over to another designer, Ohmura, who furthered the designs, after which Sugimori returned to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref>
* Xerneas is tied with Yveltal and Rayquaza for having the highest catch rate of all [[Legendary Pokémon]], with a catch rate of 45. This is likely due to Xerneas being a required capture during the storyline of [[Pokémon X and Y]].
* Xerneas is the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] and [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] Fairy-type Pokémon.
* Xerneas, along with Yveltal, was designed by art designers [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]]. Initial design for the two Legendary Pokémon was started by Sugimori, but he encountered "[[wp:Writer's block|artist's block]]", having a hard time coming up with concepts. For the first time, he gave the work over to another designer, Ohmura. Ohmura furthered the designs, after which Sugimori resumed to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development].

* Xerneas is the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] and [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.
* Xerneas's Neutral Mode has no special animations that play in the Hoenn Pokédex, but it plays Active Mode's attack animations if tapped on in the Pokémon summary screen.
* Xerneas's Neutral Mode has no special animations that play in the Hoenn Pokédex, but it plays Active Mode's attack animations if tapped on in the Pokémon summary screen.
* When a {{pkmn2|Shiny}} Xerneas is obtained by event, its model on the Mystery Gift screen is incomplete. It appears in its Active Mode, except the multicolored additions to its horns are either missing or the same blue color as on its neck.
