The mascots of the primary versions, {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}, embody the concepts of giving life and taking life, being the "Life" and "Destruction" Pokémon, respectively. The third member of the trio, Zygarde, is the "Order" Pokémon, which acts as an embodiment of balance and as a guardian against those who wish to harm the ecosystem; its ability, [[Aura Break]], inverts the effect of Xerneas and Yveltal's abilities, [[Fairy Aura]] and [[Dark Aura]], respectively, reflecting its role of balancing in the trio. | |

| The villainous team's actions and motives revolve around beauty, as they strive to create a beautiful world, by any means necessary. At the climax of the story, [[Lysandre]] reveals that they plan to use the [[Ultimate weapon|Ultimate Weapon]] to eradicate everyone who isn't a member of Team Flare to "end conflict and theft, and cleasne the world of, what he considers, filth". Lysandre sees people as being divided into two groups: people who give and people who take. He hates those that take what isn't theirs and the idea of multitudes of people fighting over scarce resoures; he notes that, in order to have his dream realized, he must take what isn't his. He mentions that people who give and take are similar to Xerneas and Yveltal, as the legendary Pokémon have the power to give life and take life, respectively. | |

| The concept of trainers and Pokémon having strong bonds with each other is focused on through [[Mega Evolution]]. Mega Evolution is a temporary phenomeon that is similar to normal Pokémon Evolution and is said to achieved because the bonds with a Pokémon and its trainer are tangible through the use of the [[Infinity Energy]] within Mega Stones. It is very similar to [[Z-Move|Z-Moves]], which are also described as being physical manifestations of a trainer's bond with their Pokémon but use a different source of energy. In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], it is hinted that meteorites contain the same kind of energy that enables Mega Evolution, as Rayquaza is revealed to be able to Mega Evolve without a Mega Stone due to an {{DL|Rayquaza_(Pokémon)|Biology|organ}} that absorbs the energy of the meteorites. [[Primal Reversion]] is also an expansion on the concept as it is a transformation similar to Mega Evolution, but is instead acheived through the absorption of natural energy rather than the energy manifested by the bonds between a trainer and their Pokémon.
