Aura trio is a conjectural term for the Legendary Pokémon trio of Kalos, consisting of Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde. The trio is also referred to as the Kalosian Legends. Professor Sycamore refers to them as the incarnations of nature that observes and protects the ecosystem, with Zygarde in particular described as the guardian of the ecosystem.
Overview
Xerneas spent a thousand years sleeping in the form of a tree before reviving and sharing eternal life. Yveltal absorbs the life force of all living things and turns into a cocoon when its life comes to an end. Zygarde comes to attack whenever the natural order of Xerneas and Yveltal are disrupted.
Myths
Their legend is introduced in the Sixth Pokémon generation, where Xerneas and Yveltal are great forces, being capable of giving and stealing life energy respectively. Xerneas shares life by glowing its horns in seven colors, while Yveltal's feathers near the gray pattern on its chest glow when it is about to steal life energy. When they are at the end of their lifespan, Xerneas releases all of its life energy into all the living things in around it, while Yveltal expands its wings and steals all of the life energy of every living thing around it. Afterwards, they transform into a tree and a cocoon respectively, to sleep for 1,000 years. Zygarde Cells are always monitoring the balance between Xerneas and Yveltal, and whenever it is disrupted or destroyed, Zygarde comes to unleash its wrath. These three Pokémon, according to Professor Sycamore, are incarnations of nature that take care of the land.
While Xerneas and Yveltal are simply one entity each, Zygarde is made of smaller parts called Cores and Cells. The Cores act as the brains of Zygarde. They cannot battle on their own, but they can move around on their own. The cells are the body of Zygarde and are scattered across Kalos or Alola. Unlike the Cores, they do not think or move.
