Character Sheet: The Aura Trio

XERNEAS/YVELTAL/ZYGARDE


Next up, let's cover the big Legendary trio of this generation, called the Aura Trio because each of their abilities has "aura" in the name. They are a whole big mix of references to Norse and Hindu mythology. First, Xerneas is based on Eikthyrnir, Yveltal is the unnamed giant eagle, and Zygarde is Nidhoggr, three mythical animals that live on or around the world tree Yggdrasil from Norse mythology. On top of that, Zygarde's different forms are based on Fenrir, Jormungandr, and Surtr, all bringers of Ragnarok in the same mythology. On top of that, the three also represent Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva of Hindu mythos, the creator, preserver, and destroyer gods. They are all tied into the main plot of X and Y, as well as Legends Z-A, with their power feeding the superweapon used by Team Flare and AZ.

Here's the moveset I came up with:


Standard B: Moonblast | Dark Pulse | Dragon Breath


Side B: Megahorn | Dragon Rush | Bulldoze


Up B: Giga Impact | Oblivion Wing | Thousand Arrows


Down B: Geomancy | Hurricane | Earthquake


Final Smash: Ancient Weapon (X and Y) | Mega Zygarde


Entrance: Breaking free of the tree, or forming from cells


Taunts: A lot of their poses from the game animations, causing flowers to spring up or wither, things like that.


Kirby Hat: The antlers, the wings, and the neck frill


Kart: A kart based on the ancient weapon

Special Move: Geomancy, Oblivion Wing, and Land's Wrath


Spirit Battle: On Geosenge Town


Victory Screen: Standing in glory with light all around them

Losing Screen: Fainted


Color Swaps: Main, shiny, other general colors


Thanks for reading! Next up, Hoopa enters the ring!
