Pokemon Go Yveltal: Best moveset for PvP and Raids

Thanks to its great stats, Yveltal is one of the best creatures to use in Pokemon Go battles. So, if you want to try this Legendary’s power, learn the best movesets you can teach it in PvP and Raids.

With a fearsome design and Legendary status, it’s only natural that Yveltal – which first appeared in Pokemon X & Y’s Kalos region – has become a must-have Pokemon for trainers around the world.

However, players need to power the aptly named Destruction Pokemon up and teach it the right attacks or it won’t last long in the Pokemon Go Battle League. So, now that the Legendary is returning to Niantic’s game, here are its top moves.

Best moveset for PvP

The best moveset to teach Yveltal in Pokemon Go for PvP play is Sucker Punch as a Fast Move and Oblivion Wing as the Charged Move.

Even though Snarl has the best energy generation, Sucker Punch is incredibly fast and offers a better damage output.

As for the Charged Moves, Oblivion Wing – Yveltal’s signature move – gives it both one Dark and one Flying-type attack to work with. This addition gives Yveltal a second STAB bonus move, and it has a higher DPE (1.7) than Hurricane (1.69).

You can then add Dark Pulse as a secondary Charged Move to exploit the Legendary’s Dark typing, or you can switch it to Focus Blast to expand its coverage.

Best moveset for Raids

For Raids in Pokemon Go, you can equip Yveltal with Gust as the Fast Move and Oblivion Wing as the Charged Move. This combo has a DPS of 17.55 and a total damage output of 376.5.

In Raids, when you have a dual-type Pokemon, it is better to focus on only one typing. In Yveltal’s case, going for its Flying moves is better.

Set Gust as your Fast Move – as it is your only choice – and pair it with Oblivion Wing, because it is way better than Hurricane.

In case you rather use the Legendary as a full Dark-type, then go with Snarl and Dark Pulse.
