This is what I expected in the very beginning. But Oblivion Wing seems to be a Special Attack and Geomancy a Physical Attack. So Xerneas probably has average Speed and Attack, but good Defenses. Yveltal will have good Speed and Special Attack (Flying types have high Speed more often that not). Then again, both of them may be Mixed Attackers with good Speed.
Oblivion Wing is the key here. It's a Signature Move, so it's promised to have at least 80BP. And it's a healing move. Along with STAB and Dark Aura boost (Doesn't seem much like a Flying Type move), it has the potential to be OP.
There seems to be more info out there about Oblivion Wing than Geomancy, so I was trying to think of what that move could possibly do (most legendaries' signature moves aren't strictly damage dealers). Since the word itself has to do with geographical features, what if Geomancy increased in power based on the number of entry hazards layers on the field? That would fit with Xerneas' look as a more defensive/support Pokemon and create an interesting scenario for both players and opponents, who'd have to decide if spike stacking is worth the risk of powering up Xerneas, and vice versa.
I
I doubt game freak would make a move that increases in power based off of entry hazards. Geomancy (if anything) most likely has to to do with the actual terrain like Nature Power or it'll probably be a Seed Flare clone, ya'know 30% chance of reducing special defense, defense or who knows maybe both etc
Glaciate is a signature move at 65BP...
So if it IS a healing move and it gets STAB and Dark Aura boost, wouldn't 80BP be a little overkill?
Glaciate hits all the opponents. That's why it has low BP. I'm thinking more like Freeze Shock and Ice Burn. EVen if Oblivion Wing had 65BP, it'd still be overkill (STAB + Dark Aura + Big Root).
sylveon using fairy wind on chespin.
too blurry though
It's neutral, the text said Chespin used Rollout afterwards and there was no It's Super Effective or Not Very Effective Text before...meh
I WISH THAT SOMEONE HAD A DRAGON MOVE!!!!
Mega evos don't count as "pokemon" so they won't be in the pokedex.

just realized that the wifi event Torchic has a different OT and ID. Which pisses me off. That means it won't obey until you have a couple badges, you can't nickname it, and as we already discussed its IVs aren't even that great. Now I'm wondering when we can trade in the game, because I'm keeping the Blazikenite and trading for a Torchic egg ASAP

I may have missed something, but I don't think we've seen Torchic's OT & ID or know enough to compare that to anything? (& I don't think anything implies the IVs are set in stone???)
But I think you'll be waiting a while if you really want to hold out on it until you get an egg since who knows where the daycare is or if there's a ditto anywhere

Yes. The IVs appear to be randomized though. But c'mon Gamefreak, why not just make that OT and ID that of the trainer who receives it?
What are Xerneas and Ylvetal's abilities and typings? Also, have their base stats been revealed?
No, it's already in a Cherish ball and is holding a Blazikenite which isn't found normally, seems special to me. And I wanted to nickname it. And they whole disobeying early-game Pokemon thing. How many badges must you have before Pokemon start listening to you again?
Yeah man that got released a long while back. Xerneas is Fairy and Yveltal is Dark/Flying. They have new abilities that I can't remember. The base stats haven't been revealed. Check out the official site.
Like one
Fairy Aura / Dark Aura. Boosts those move types.
