Read more ↓Yveltal is a legendary Dark/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI, alongside its counterpart Xerneas. Known as the Destruction Pokémon, Yveltal has the power to absorb the life force of other living things, which it does as it spirals into its cocoons-like form, regenerating its energy. When its life comes to an end, it absorbs the life energy of all living things and turns into a cocoon itself. Its natural habitat is not a specific region, but rather it is said to slumber in a mountainous area for a millennium, only to awaken when its energy is needed or when it senses an imbalance in the world. Yveltal’s diet consists of the life energy it drains, a process that can leave landscapes barren. In the games, Yveltal plays a central role in Pokémon Y, where it is the version's mascot and a key figure in Team Flare’s plot to create a new world. Its striking design, reminiscent of the letter 'Y', and its formidable power make it a fan favorite and a significant figure in the Pokémon lore, symbolizing destruction and rebirth. Its type combination gives it resistances to Grass, Ghost, and Dark, while being weak to Electric, Ice, Rock, and Fairy.
