How to play Xerneas
Because Xerneas is a single type, every Fairy move gets +20%, and its ability, Fairy Aura, adds another 8% on top. That makes the Fairy cards its core: Fairy Wind (into Moonblast) at the start, Play Rough (into Spirit Break) as the heavy melee, and Disarming Voice to push enemies back. Normal moves such as Body Slam and Hyper Beam get neither bonus, so they are fillers. Take either Swords Dance or Nasty Plot, not both. Dragon moves hit it at only ×0.3.
