Changing Yveltal's move pool

Almost all of Yveltal’s moves are bad. Focus Blast, Hyper Beam, and Dragon Rush are all worse than Oblivion Wing and miss constantly. Hyper Voice is unnecessary and pales in comparison to the damage of other moves. Roost is terrible when Yveltal already gets Oblivion Wing. Phantom Force and Shadow Ball are redundant. Players only have a 3/11 chance to summon Yveltal with a Dark type move. The only flying type move it gets that isn’t Oblivion Wing has 70 accuracy. It needs help. I have a recommendation below. Feel free to comment.

  • Oblivion Wing
  • Dark Pulse
  • Dragon Claw (Add)
  • Heat Wave
  • Air Slash (Add)
  • Psychic
  • Rock Slide (Add)
  • Snarl (Add)
  • Shadow Ball

Additionally, Dark Aura and Fairy Aura should boost Yveltal and Xerneas’ moves. That’s how they function in the games. As they are, the only boost the damage of other players’ moves of these types and NPC’s using them against you. It doesn’t make sense for them to work how they do.

Did you copy that list from the wiki or did you test it out yourself?

Both. The wiki appears to be consistent with in-game.

Very glad to report that Dark Aura and Fairy Aura were changed to now boost the moves that Yveltal and Xerneas use themselves.
