Yveltal Weakness
Electric, Ice, Rock, and Fairy moves hit Yveltal for super-effective damage. The upside? Ground and Psychic-type moves can't touch it at all. Yveltal's overall bulk (126/95/98) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.

Yveltal Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
For the Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon 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 wall. Oblivionwing with Life Orb is the standard set.
Yveltal is a static encounter at Alola Ultra Space Wilds in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Yveltal appears at level 60. Prerequisite: LIMITED. Save before the encounter. These one-shot Pokemon don't respawn if you knock them out or run out of Poke Balls.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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.
Dark Aura strengthens dark moves to 1.33× their power for all friendly and opposing Pokémon. That's the one you want on Yveltal. It's the only ability Yveltal has.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Yveltal fills the wall 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.
