 Yveltal Raid

Yveltal is a Dark/Flying Legendary Pokémon that was first introduced in Pokémon Y. In Pokémon GO, Yveltal is a Tier 5 Legendary Raid Boss. Based on its type, its counters are Fairy, Electric, Rock, and Ice attacks. The Shiny Yveltal version is available in the game and has a 5% chance of appearing after you have defeated the Raid Boss.

Yveltal can be caught with varying strength levels depending on star level and weather boosts such as Fog or Windy. Without any boost, Yveltal will be caught at level 20 with 2073-2160 CP. Fog and Windy weather increase those values to 2591-2701 CP at Level 25.

Yveltal has a wide array of attacks it can use against you. It's very important to pick a raid team consisting of Pokémon that not only have attacks that counter Yveltal but also include types that resist its attacks. Its Flying type attacks are resisted by Electric and Rock type Pokémon. You should also stay away from Ghost and Fairy type Pokémon, as its Dark-type attacks are super effective against them.

Everyone has different Pokémon available, so make sure to carefully pick Pokémon from your collection that fit the criteria above. In the table below, you can find the statistically best team to defeat Yveltal.

The Shiny Mega Charizard Y version is available in the game and has a 1/64 chance of appearing after you have defeated the Raid Boss. If you are lucky, you might even see its Shiny form.

However, it is important to note that you can't catch Mega Pokémon. Instead, after defeating Mega Charizard Y, it will revert to its original form. You need 200 Mega Energy to evolve Charizard into Mega Charizard Y the first time.
