Pokemon Go Yveltal: Best Moveset for PvP & Raids
NianticYveltal returned to Raids in Pokemon Go in late June 2024, so you might be wondering what its best moveset is and whether it’s any good in the Go Battle League or as a Raid attacker.
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.
Simply catching one isn’t enough, though, as it’s essential that you power it up and teach it the right attacks or it won’t last long in the Pokemon Go Battle League.
To help you get the most out of the aptly-named Destruction Pokemon, we’ve put together a simple guide for the best moveset for Yveltal as well as tips on where it’s best to use it in battle.

Pokemon Go Yveltal best PvP Moveset
The best moveset to teach Yveltal in Pokemon Go for PvP play is Snarl as a Fast Move with Dark Pulse and Oblivion Wing as Charged Moves.
While Snarl isn’t the most powerful Fast Move in Yveltal’s lineup, it does have the best energy generation per turn which will allow it to quickly unleash some powerful Charged Moves on its opponents.
As for the Charged Moves, the TM Move Oblivion Wing gives Yveltal both a Dark and Flying-type move to work with. The addition of Oblivion Wing gives Yveltal a second STAB bonus move, and it has a higher DPE (1.7) than Hurricane (1.69).
Yveltal’s power makes it a very good Pokemon to use in PvP play, particularly in the Master League. Per PvPoke, XL Yveltal ranks #44 in Master League play
