Yveltal (Japanese: イベルタル Yveltal) is a dual-type Dark/Flying Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Along with Chespin, Fennekin, Froakie, and Xerneas, Yveltal was one of the first Generation VI Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the Pokémon Direct broadcast.

Yveltal is the game mascot of Pokémon Y, appearing on its boxart. Yveltal, Xerneas, and Zygarde are often collectively referred to as the Aura trio by fans.

Biology

Yveltal's cocoon form in Pokémon Adventures

Yveltal is a large Pokémon with both avian and draconic traits. The back of its body is black with white spots along the wings and back; its front, head, and neck are bright red with branching, black lines throughout. It has a pointed, beak-like snout, bright blue eyes, a black, forward-curving horn over each eye, and a thin, antenna-like growth behind each eye. A feathery gray ruff encircles its neck and billows out over its back. Yveltal's wings each have three spikes along the bottom edge near the body and five large, black claws on the tip. It has small, birdlike legs with gray talons. Each foot has two toes facing forward and one pointing backward. Its tail is similar in structure to its wings, including the five claws on the tip.

Yveltal has the power to absorb life energy by spreading its wings and tailfeathers. According to legend, Yveltal does this in order to power up its own energy. It is highly feared by the ancient people of Kalos because of this. It is known to appear during the conflict, draining countless people and Pokémon that Yveltal encounters. When it reaches the end of its lifespan, it steals the life energy of everything around it and then transforms into a cocoon to sleep. It is also capable of stealing away life through a beam from its chest and by simply touching plants as seen in the manga. Yveltal along with Xerneas have the power to transform Evolution stones into Mega Stones as seen with the ultimate weapon's blast shot by AZ 3000 years ago. Both are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Yveltal's power can be used to power up machines as seen with the ultimate weapon.

Any living creatures drained by Yveltal will turn into petrified stone, as depicted in Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction. It is unknown whether this action is intentionally malicious or not. However, Yveltal can be very vengeful to anyone who disturbs its sleep and will seek to destroy it. Its counterpart Xerneas has the power to cure Yveltal's victims by filling them with life energy, but this has a chance to fail, as depicted in The Legend of X, Y, and Z!.

Yveltal is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Oblivion Wing. Yveltal is also the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Focus Blast by leveling up. Additionally, Yveltal is the only known Pokémon that can have Dark Aura as an Ability.
