Yveltal in the meta

PvE Analysis

Yveltal is a strong Dark/Flying-type Pokémon, serving as a decent Dark-type choice and an excellent Flying-type Pokémon due to its signature move, Oblivion Wing. 😈🪽

💥 The best PvE moves for Yveltal are Gust and Oblivion Wing.

⚔️ Raids

For Dark-type roles, you'd be better off with options like Hydreigon, Tyranitar, Darkrai, or Weavile as non-Mega/non-Shadow choices. ⚫

In the Flying-type meta, Yveltal is just behind the mighty Rayquaza (again, excluding Megas or Shadows). A Flying-type hitter is Yveltal’s best role in Pokémon GO PvE. 😊

🛡️ Gyms

Legendaries aren't allowed to defend Gyms.

PvP Analysis

Yveltal was always good, but it has reached jaw-dropping new heights thanks to the buff to Sucker Punch in the Max Out Season GBL update, turning the Quick attack into a pre-nerf Counter clone! 🤯

This gives Yveltal an insane toolkit to fearlessly take on opponents, as Oblivion Wing dominates everything in its path, while Dark Pulse and Focus Blast act as versatile secondary options to handle a wide variety of threats. 😌

Particularly for the Master League, Yveltal is a must-have addition to your team.

💥 The best PvE moves for Yveltal are Sucker Punch, Oblivion Wing, and Dark Pulse/Focus Blast.

🔵 Great League

Yveltal, when used in the Great League, is significantly weaker. Avoid bringing this Legendary to this league. 😡

🟡 Ultra League

Yveltal’s value increases in the Ultra League, but it’s still not a dominant force. Its high loss rate diminishes its potential, making the Master League a better platform for this Pokémon. 👀

🟣 Master League

Yveltal is an exceptionally powerful Pokémon in the Master League, defeating some of the most formidable foes, including Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings Necrozma, Dialga (both Origin and base forms), Groudon, Kyogre, Landorus Therian, Melmetal, and Giratina (Altered and Origin forms). 😲

Even in disadvantageous matchups, such as those against Fairy-types, Yveltal can wreak havoc with Oblivion Wing, making it a fearsome threat to almost any Pokémon in this league. The upgrade to Sucker Punch has truly elevated Yveltal to the pinnacle of the Master League, making it a must-have for competitive battles. ☝️

Catch probability with multiple throws

In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Yveltal, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

Catch rate formula

Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.
