Notable Attacks/Techniques:

- Aurora Beam: Xerneas fires a multicolored beam of energy from its antlers. It may lower the opponent's attack.
- Horn Leech: Xerneas jabs the opponent with its antlers. This also restores its health by half of the damage dealt.
- Gravity: Xerneas increases gravity in the area forcefully grounding those in the air and preventing them from taking off.
- Heal Pulse: Xerneas releases a pulse of energy that heals whoever Xerneas chooses.
- Aromatherapy: Xerneas releases a soothing scent that cures itself and its allies of status conditions.
- Ingrain: Xerneas roots itself in place to gradually restore health over time.

- Moonblast: Xerneas draws power from the moon into a sphere and fires it at the opponent. It may also lower their special attack.
- Megahorn: Xerneas harshly stabs its opponents with its antlers.

In deserts and roads, Mud Bomb. In grass, Energy Ball. In snow, Ice Beam. In water, Hydro Pump. In Misty Terrain, Moonblast. In Electric Terrain, Thunderbolt. In Psychic Terrain, Psychic.
- Close Combat: Xerneas throws a barrage of attacks the opponent up close. This also lowers Xerneas's defense and special defense.
