Yveltal @ Assault Vest
Ability: Dark Aura
Level: 50
EVs: 172 HP / 4 Def / 68 SpA / 12 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Foul Play
- Oblivion Wing
- Sucker Punch
- Snarl
Yveltal's wings glow once again in the VGC metagame! Thanks to Dark Aura, good Special Attack, and a Speed tier that surpasses most other Restricted Legendaries, Yveltal is a major threat! Foul Play is able to hit many staple physical threats like Zacian-C, Landorus-T, and Groudon hard and punish their setup opportunities. Oblivion Wing provides longevity for the Yveltal, allowing it to turn the tides on unfavorable scenarios such as against Venusaur and Porygon2. It turns into Max Airstream when Yveltal is Dynamaxed, threatening Gigantamax Venusaur and Rillaboom while gaining momentum for Yveltal and its allies to snowball the opposition. Sucker Punch can quickly put an end onto opposing Calyrex-S and Dragapult with priority, while Snarl softens attacks from special threats such as Kyogre. Although powerful, Yveltal struggles against Zacian-C, so Landorus-T and Incineroar are great allies to protect Yveltal from it with Intimidate.
