Pokemon GO Yveltal Best Moveset

So, that’s all you need when it comes to the weakness and best counters against Yveltal in Pokemon GO, but what about its best moveset? Well, this Pokemon is a Dark / Flying type, so that’s probably the combo you should stick to, one way or the other. In our opinion, your best way forward is with Sucker Punch (Dark) as your Quick Attack and Hurricane (Flying) as your Charged Attack. If you want to, you can also go with Snarl (Dark) as the Quick Attack, and even Gust (Flying), if you want to “specialize.”

Those are all the Quick Attacks that Yveltal can have, by the way. There’s a number of other Charged Attacks, though. They include Hyper Beam (Normal), Dark Pulse (Dark), Focus Blast (Fighting), and Psychic (Psychic). So, feel free to go with whatever works for you.
