Yveltal @ Life Orb
Ability: Dark Aura
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Sucker Punch
- Knock Off
- Oblivion Wing
- Taunt

Meet Yveltal, the death bird (?) of Ubers! Jokes aside, Yveltal is practically mandatory on every archetype in Ubers due to its fantastic base 131 Base Attack and Special Attack, as well as its ability to consistently check Calyrex-S. Sucker Punch allows Yveltal to be a decent revenge killer while also OHKOing the fearsome Calyrex-S without having to take an Astral Barrage first. Knock Off is Yveltal's most reliable STAB attack, and it also provides fantastic support by removing items. Oblivion Wing is a less passive healing option than Roost that allows Yveltal to heal and deal damage simultaneously. Taunt is used to prevent opposing Defoggers from clearing entry hazards, notably Sticky Web. Speaking of which, Yveltal is a staple on Sticky Web hyper offense teams. As a result, Slurpuff and Shuckle are great partners for it, as they are the most viable Sticky Web setters. Necrozma-DM is a fantastic partner for Yveltal, as it is able to consistently switch into foes such as Xerneas for it. In return, Yveltal pressures opposing Necrozma-DM.

Meet Yveltal, the death bird (?) of Ubers! Jokes aside, Yveltal is practically a mandatory (wouldn't say it's mandatory as you can afford to not run it, even if it's not advisable.) Pokemon on every archetype in Ubers due to its fantastic 131 Base Attack and Special Attack, as well as its ability to consistently counter check (it never truly counters it, Sash NP Draining Kiss can outplay Sucker Punch and win the trade. You can rephrase it to "being one of the best and most splashable checks to") Calyrex-S. Sucker Punch allows Yveltal to be a decent revenge killer while also allowing it to OHKO the fearsome Calyrex-S without having to take an Astral Barrage first. Knock Off is Yveltal's most reliable STAB attack, and provides fantastic support due to item disruption. Oblivion Wing is not only a less passive healing option than Roost that allows Yveltal to heal and deal damage simultaneously, but allows it to KO common switchins to Yveltal such as Tangrowth and Buzzwole. Taunt is used to prevent opposing defoggers from clearing hazards, notably Sticky Web. Speaking of which, Yveltal is a staple on Sticky Web Hyper Offence teams. As a result of this, Slurpuff and Shuckle are great partners for it, as they are the most viable Sticky Web setters. Necrozma-DM is a fantastic partner for Yveltal, as it is able to consistently switch into foes such as Xerneus for it. In return, Yveltal is able to beat pressure opposing Necrozma-DM. (DD NDM can come out on top vs SpD NDM so I think "pressure" is better)

Characters - 1096


I implore you to add the word "Xerneas" to your spellchecker. If you need to cut characters, I'd drop the 131 Atk/SpA point altogether and just keep the "is a solid check to Caly-S" part.

Meet Yveltal, the death bird (?) is this question mark intentional? I would leave it out of Ubers!
