Yveltal Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
For the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire meta, At 680 BST, Yveltal is built different. We rank it S-Tier. As a Legendary Pokemon, the raw stats back up the reputation. Best used as a pivot. Oblivionwing with Life Orb is the standard set.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, watch for Raikou (Electric), Weavile (Ice), and Terrakion (Rock) when using Yveltal. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Fairy-type attackers are also a problem. Yveltal has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.

In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Yveltal fills the pivot role. It's a mixed attacker with base 131 Attack and 131 Sp. Atk. Base 99 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. And it's tanky enough to absorb a few hits.
For Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Yveltal has answers, but so do you. Super-effective STAB from faster Pokemon is the simplest answer. Electric, Ice, and Rock-type attackers hit hardest.
