Xerneas

GBL Note Analysis

Basis: PvPoke simulation · last-30-day field meta · S27 New Beginnings

✔ Strengths & how to use

• Its Lead · Closer role scores are all high, so it isn't tied to one slot and can flex across positions.
• It posts favorable results against current field-meta staples Mega Gyarados(#6) · Dialga (Origin)(#8) · Palkia (Origin)(#12), giving it real value as a meta counter.
• On defense it double-resists Dragon · resists Fighting · Bug · Dark, holding up well against those attackers.

⚠ Weaknesses & threats

• On defense it is weak to Poison · Steel, so watch out for those attackers.
• It's notably unfavored into Primal Groudon (usage rank #25), common right now, so dodging that matchup is safer in the current meta.
