[[Category:Generation VI Pokémon]]

Xerneas (Japanese: ゼルネアス, HepburnZeruneasu) is a new Pokémon that is a Legendary Pokémon to be released in Pokémon X and Y. It is unclear what type of Pokémon it is and may be based on a Chital. In the glint of its eyes is the shape of the letter "X", hence the title of the game and when it stands, its body seems to be in the shape of an "X".

Origin

Its name may be reference to the Celtic "Horned god", Cernunnos. Its form may be a reference to Norse mythology guardians of the Yggdrasil Tree: a bird-like creature that protects the top of the tree, this may be Yveltal, a deer-like creature that protects the soil and trunk of the tree, this may be Xerneas, and a snake-like creature that protects the underworld below the tree. If this is right then there might be a snake-like legendary Pokémon to go with Xerneas and Yveltal.

Yggdrasil Tree

Its name may start with an X because it represents the X axis in the 3D axis of X,Y and Z.
