It depends on the rest of your team. If you have solid counters to Xerneas, then you can run Iron Head for more versatility. If not, I would suggest running Gyro Ball. Some examples of counters to Xerneas include:Bulky Fire Typessuch as Primal Groundon and Ho-Oh.Poison Typessuch as Mega-Gengar and Poison Arceus. Mega-Gengar in particular is a good counter due to Shadow Tag.Bulky Steel Typessuch as Klefki, Ferrothorn and Jirachi.Powerful Steel Typessuch as Mega-Lucario, Mega-Mawile and Mega-Metagross, although these Pokemon struggle to take boosted Moonblasts repeatedly.Special Defense Behemothssuch as Blissey and Lugia.
