Yveltal (HEAVILY WIP)

[Aquashell11]

Not that exactly. Analyses are for players to get an idea of what they can expect to see on mons, and to know what they should be running, as well as to analyze a Pokemon's skill and role in the metagame. Not simply a dumping spot for sets.

Oh! Thanks. Where can I post strategies though?

I use max HP instead of special def on my assault vest set. Even with the -def nature, with that spread you can survive a +2 extremespeed from normal Arceus and deal 85%+ back with foul play. It's a nice emergency check, and you don't lose too much on the special side. Take this:

252 SpA Mega Mewtwo Y Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Yveltal: 180-214 (39.4 - 46.9%)
252 SpA Mega Mewtwo Y Ice Beam vs. 0 HP / 252 SpD Assault Vest Yveltal: 144-170 (36.6 - 43.2%)

For comparison. Still a 3hko in both cases. Meanwhile, ekiller can only KO at +2 if he has life orb and adamant. If you're like me and rely on a burn to stop Arceus, but he's got a lum berry or you miss and he kills your burn poke, it's nice to have a backup check.
