So, I used Yveltal with Persian, a double Dark-type combo that is not afraid of Prankster and can destroy everything thanks to Fake Tears + Life Orb-boosted special-attacking Yveltal. Persian had been featured alongside Kyogre in a successful team before, achieving 9th place in the International Challenge February in Suwoong Cheong‘s hands. One day when I was sleeping and thinking about the team, an idea flashed: Alolan Persian. So I chose this other variant, as double Intimidate can limit Zacian, though it is awful against Defiant Thundurus.Heat Rotom was good before Series 12, but it is not good right now….Finally I chose a meta Zacian + Yveltal set. It can also solve problems 1 and 2, but both Restricteds were destroyed by Ice Rider Calyrex, and the accuracy problem from Sun teams is very annoying. And at that time, Wolfe Glick ( Wolfey) built a good example. I wanted to build an Yveltal + Groudon team at first it has been a good combination since 2016. The pressure from the Electric-type Pokémon (Thundurus, Zapdos, Regieleki).Their max Speed, bulky Therian Landorus is very unique. Zee Costagliola ( Zee), a player who used this Yveltal team to reach top 8 in Salt Lake City Regionals.The EVs and moveset he made are very detailed. ![]() Tomoyuki Yoshimura ( SNOW) used this Yveltal team to get an 11th place in this year’s International Challenge March.You can read his report here (in Chinese). Wu Chen( Max), the best Yveltal player in Taiwan, established the core of Yveltal, Regieleki and Therian Landorus with his Series 8 Kaohsiung Regionals winning team (although he told me that Landorus is no longer good in Series 12 after his tournament!).When I decided to use Yveltal, I read a lot of reports from top players, including: ![]() It has a high rate of OHKOing non-Dynamax Pokémon: OHKO Dynamax Pokémon with Fake Tears support, 2HKO Dynamax Pokémon with Max Darkness lowering their Special Defense, including bulky Dynamax Pokémon like Dialga. Instead, non-Restricted Pokémon like Thundurus, Zapdos or Charizard can compete for the spot. It doesn’t care about Prankster-boosted Thunder Wave which makes it better than Rayquaza or Lugia. It is the best Max Airstream Restricted user. ![]() In Series 12, I chose Yveltal as my first Restricted choice.
