Yveltal is a large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with both avian and draconic traits. The back of its body is black with white spots along the wings and back; its front, head, and neck are bright red with branching, black lines throughout. It has a pointed, beak-like snout, bright blue eyes, a black, forward-curving horn over each eye, and a thin, antenna-like growth behind each eye. A feathery gray ruff encircles its neck and billows out over its back. Yveltal's wings each have three spikes along the bottom edge near the body and five large, black claws on the tip. It has small, birdlike legs with gray talons. Each foot has two toes facing forward and one pointing backward. Its tail is similar in structure to its wings, including the five claws on the tip.

Yveltal has the power to absorb life energy by spreading its wings and tailfeathers. When it reaches the end of its lifespan, it steals the life energy of everything around it and then transforms into a cocoon to sleep. As seen in the [[M17|the anime]], any living creatures drained by Yveltal turns into petrified stone. Yveltal can be very vengeful to anyone who disturbs its sleep and will seek to destroy it. Its counterpart {{p|Xerneas}} has the power to undo by filling those petrified victims with life energy but that is not always the case as seen in the [[XYS05|anime]]. Yveltal is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Oblivion Wing}}.
Yveltal has the power to absorb life energy by spreading its wings and tailfeathers. According to legend, Yveltal does this in order to power up its own energy. It is highly feared by the ancient people of Kalos because of this. It is known to appear during the conflict, draining countless people and Pokémon that Yveltal encounters. When it reaches the end of its lifespan, it steals the life energy of everything around it and then transforms into a cocoon to sleep. It is also capable of stealing away life through a beam from its chest and by simply touching plants as seen in the [[Pokémon Adventures|manga]]. Yveltal along with Xerneas have the power to transform [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s as seen with the [[ultimate weapon]]'s blast shot by [[AZ]] 3000 years ago. Both are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Yveltal's power can be used to power up machines as seen with the ultimate weapon.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Yveltal (M17)]]=====
Yveltal debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It was first seen in a flashback destroying the [[Allearth Forest]] before transforming into a cocoon and slumbering. Years later, it reawakened and attempted to destroy the Allearth Forest again, turning [[Argus Steel|Argus]] and [[Millis Steel]], [[Merilyn]], [[Riot]], and [[Ash's Pikachu]] to stone in the process. It was then calmed by {{OBP|Xerneas|M17}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and flew away peacefully.
 
=====Other=====
Yveltal made its main series debut in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where it unleashed trouble on a kingdom, turning people and Pokémon to stone such as [[Aila]]. Its attack prompted {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} to embark on a quest to find {{p|Xerneas}} and have it restore the land and Aila.

===Movie adaptations===
{{main|Yveltal (M17)}}
Yveltal appears in the {{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction|manga adaptation}} of the first ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' {{pkmn|movie}}, ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.
 
===Pokémon Adventures===
Yveltal debuted in [[PS549]], alongside [[Xerxer|Xerneas]]. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant cocoon and tree states, which are being sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. Yveltal was later captured by [[Malva]], who revealed that it had been resting in the ground under the tree form Xerneas the entire time. In ''[[PAXY38|Xerneas Gives]]'', both Yveltal and Xerneas returned to their dormant states once again, choosing to do so in order to prevent [[Lysandre]] from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.
Yveltal is classified as a Pokémon that brings destruction, death and doom. At some point, Yveltal reached the end of its lifespan and turned into a cocoon, which was then taken away by [[Lysandre]] and revived to power the [[ultimate weapon]] along with {{p|Xerneas}}, the [[Kalos Power Plant]] and the key possed by AZ. If Lysandre managed to power this, it would destroy most of the Pokémon world.

====Trophy information====
Any living creatures drained by Yveltal will turn into petrified stone, as depicted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It is unknown whether this action is intentionally malicious or not. However, Yveltal can be very vengeful to anyone who disturbs its sleep and will seek to destroy it. Its counterpart {{p|Xerneas}} has the power to cure Yveltal's victims by filling them with life energy, but this has a chance to fail, as depicted in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]''.

Apparently, when Yveltal's life comes to an end, it will absorb the life force of all living things— here's to a long and healthy life! ''

===Origin===
===Origin===
Yveltal's appearance is based on an avian in the shape of the letter Y, and as such has many similarities to the {{wp|long-tailed widowbird}}. It may be based on any number of figures from mythology, such as the Celtic death-goddess {{wp|Morrigan}}, which often takes the form of a raven, or Norse mythological figures such as {{wp|Hræsvelgr}}, which takes the form of an eagle and sits at the end of the world, or the Hawk {{wp|Veðrfölnir and eagle|Veðrfölnir or the unnamed eagle}} that resides at the top of the world tree {{wp|Yggdrasil}}. Yveltal also may draw inspiration from {{wp|carrion}} birds such as {{wp|Carrion Crow|crows}} and {{wp|vulture}}s. Additionally, it bears a striking resemblance to a species of fungus known as "{{wp|Clathrus archeri|devil's fingers}}."
