Collector Insights

Xerneas is a Fairy-type Pokémon with 130 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. It includes two attacks: Geomancy, which requires one Fairy energy to search for and attach Fairy Energy cards to two of the player’s Benched Pokémon, and Rainbow Spear, a three-energy attack that deals 100 damage and discards an Energy attached to Xerneas. The card resists Darkness-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Metal-type attacks with double damage. It was released in the XY series’ Steam Siege set in 2016, designed by artist Megumi Mizutani. The flavor text alludes to a legendary tale of eternal life, describing Xerneas as a tree that slept for a millennium before awakening. Its rarity is marked as Rare Holo, and it belongs to the Pokémon supertype. The card’s mechanics emphasize strategic resource management through its Energy attachment ability and direct damage output.

Legends say it can share eternal life. It slept for a thousand years in the form of a tree before its revival.
