Yveltal is now part of the 5-star raids in Pokémon GO, running from June 19 to June 28. This is your chance to catch this elusive Pokémon. If you’re eager to add Yveltal to your collection, check out our Pokémon GO Yveltal Raid Guide for all the essential information.

Yveltal Weaknesses in Pokémon GO

If you’ve participated in a five-star Pokémon GO raid before, you’re familiar with the basics. For those new to it, we’ll focus on Yveltal’s main weaknesses to defeat it effectively.

Yveltal is weak against Electric, Fairy, Rock, and Ice Pokémon, so be sure to bring those along.

As a Dark/Flying Pokémon, Yveltal resists Ghost, Psychic, Bug, Fighting, and Grass-types, so avoid using those Pokémon in your team.

Top Counters for Yveltal in Pokemon GO

To counter a Yveltal during the Pokemon GO Raid, you must bring a few Pokemon that are best suited for fighting against them. As such, the best Yveltal counters are:

  • Gardevoir or Mega Gardevoir: Charm and Dazzling Gleam
  • Tyranitar or Mega Tyranitar: Smack Down and Stone Edge
  • Aerodactyle or Mega Aerodactyle: Rock Throw and Rock Slide
  • Ampharos or Mega Ampharos: Charge Beam and Zap Cannon
  • Glalie or Mega Glalie: Frost Breath and Avalanche
  • Xurkitree: Thunder Shock and Discharge

It would be best to consider bringing over Gardevoir, Tyranitar, or Aerodactyle out of these six Pokemon. If you have the Mega variant, it is even better. Each of their attacks directly counters Yveltal, giving you a better winning chance against the Pokemon.

How to Get Yveltal in Pokemon GO

You cannot catch Yveltal directly from the Mega Raid in Pokémon GO. The only way to obtain Yveltal is by defeating it in the Raid. After joining a Mega Raid with a Raid Pass, team up with friends and other players to defeat this 5-star Pokémon.
