Aura trio is a fan term for the legendary trio of Kalos, consisting of Xerneas, Yveltal and Zygarde, the first two of which are found at the Team Flare Secret HQ in Pokémon X and Y, respectively. Xerneas is the Life Pokémon with the Ability Fairy Aura, Yveltal is the Destruction Pokémon with the Ability Dark Aura, and Zygarde is the Order Pokémon with the ability Aura Break, which negates Fairy and Dark Auras. Xerneas spent a thousand years sleeping in the form of a tree before reviving and sharing eternal life. Yveltal absorbs the life force of all living things and turns into a cocoon when its life comes to an end. Zygarde comes to attack whenever the natural order of Xerneas and Yveltal are disrupted.
History
Their legend is introduced in Generation VI, where Xerneas and Yveltal are great forces, being capable of giving and stealing life energy respectively. Xerneas shares life by glowing its horns in seven colors, while Yveltal's feathers near the gray pattern on its chest glows as it about to steal away life energy. When they are at the end of their lifespan, Xerneas releases all of its life energy into all the living things in around it, while Yveltal expands its wings and steals all of the life energy of every living thing around it. After which both transform into a tree and a cocoon respectively, to sleep for 1,000 years. Zygarde cells are always monitoring this order of Xerneas and Yveltal, and whenever it is disrupted or destroyed, Zygarde comes to unleash its wrath. These three Pokémon, according to Professor Sycamore, are "incarnations of nature that take care of the land".

Xerneas and Yveltal made their debut appearances in the anime in the first XY series movie, Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction as major characters. In the movie, Diancie had a responsibility as the Princess of the Diamond Domain to maintain the balance of its ecosystem by making a new Heart Diamond. However, as she lacked the power to create a stable Heart Diamond, she sought help from Xerneas, as its Fairy Aura could revitalize energy. As Diancie's journey began, she bumped into Ash and his friends, who soon decided to accompany Diancie in her pursuit of Xerneas. As the team pursued the Legendary Pokémon, several theives were also in pursuit of Diancie to take advantage of her ability to create diamonds. The group were able to catch a moment with Xerneas and bathed under its Fairy Aura, as Xerneas told Diancie that Fairy Aura was not what she needed, but there was a power inside her. The chase lead to Allearth Forest and the group's activity awakened and enraged the Cocoon of Destruction, Yveltal. Yveltal went on a rampage with its Oblivion Wing, petrifying the thieves and their Pokémon. Yveltal eventually gained on the group, continually firing harmful beams that triggered extreme emotions within Diancie, enabling her to Mega Evolve. Before Ash's Pikachu was completely petrified by Yveltal, Xerneas appeared to battle it, and its mere presence was able to quell Yveltal's rage. Yveltal finally flew calmly away from the forest. Soon after, Xerneas used its Fairy Aura to revitalize the forest and revive the Pokémon and people petrified, including Pikachu. Xerneas then transformed into its dormant form to look over Allearth Forest for the next thousand years.
A Xerneas also appeared as a silhouette in Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!. However, its antlers could clearly be seen.
