You get matched with a random person and they trade you a Pokemon. You don't know what Pokemon you'll get until the trade happens.

Question

What are good moves for Xerneas?

Community Answer

I went with Moonblast, Megahorn, Horn Leech, and Psychic. I got rid of Geomancy because you had to charge for it.

Question

Can I get another Master Ball?

Community Answer

Master Balls have been designed to be found once per game save. The only way to get another would be for someone to give his/her Pokemon a Master Ball to hold, and trade it.

Question

How do I keep it alive long enough to catch it without false swipes?

Community Answer

The best thing to do is save before you fight. Use a quick ball at the start of the fight; if it fails, use not very affective moves to lower its health. If you kill it, press left bumper + right bumper + start + select, and the game will reset to the last save you had.

Question

If I catch one of them, will I be unbeatable?

Community Answer

No, that's when they are able to mega evolve. I had Yveltal faint once in battle. Yveltal and Xerneas are very powerful, but still beatable.

Question

Who is stronger Xerneas or Yveltal?

Community Answer

Xerneas is better competitively if you need an offensive sweeper, but if you don’t it struggles to fill other roles. Yveltal has the advantage of being adaptable and unpredictable. Commonly it serves as a wall breaker thanks to its bulk and strong moves, but it can also be a stall breaker, revenge kill sweepers, physical defender, and more.
