MetaMons competitive notes
Yveltal is a dark/flying-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 680 BST it is a legendary-grade total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 99) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Dark Aura ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Yveltal. Build around what Yveltal actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
