Yveltal (Japanese: イベルタル Yveltal) is a dual-type Dark/Flying legendary Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Along with Chespin, Fennekin, Froakie, and Xerneas, it was the first Generation VI Pokémon to be revealed to the public, being revealed on January 8, 2013 as part of the Pokémon Direct broadcast.

Yveltal is the version mascot of Pokémon Y.

Biology

Yveltal is a large avian-like Pokémon. Its body is dark in coloration and is adorned with greyish patterns along the underside. Yveltal's wings and tails have three points extending along the edges, close to where they meet the body. There are five large claws on each appendage, three of which curve inwards. Yveltal's underside is bright red, with branching, black markings. Similar markings are present on Yveltal's head and neck.

Yveltal has a pointed, beak-like snout. Black horns extend from above its blue eyes, with a sharply curved portion pointing forward and thinner prongs facing the rear. A feathery grey ruff encircles its neck and billows out over its back. Yveltal has small, birdlike legs with powerful talons. Like the rest of the underside, the legs are red with black adornments, and the talons are grey. Each foot has two toes facing forward and one pointing backwards. When Yveltal's wings and tail are fully extended, Yveltal resembles the English letter Y.

Trivia

Origin

Like both Zygarde and Xerneas, Yveltal is mainly based on the principle of Death. Appearance wise, Yveltal is based on some kind of avian with its shape is based on the letter Y. It may have some basis on the giant Hræsvelgr, which translate as "Corpse Swallower." Hræsvelgr takes the form of an eagle, and sits at the end of the world creating wind as he flaps his wings. It can also be based on the unnamed eagle, which according to the Poetic Edda, resided at the very top of the World Tree Yggdrasil.

Name origin

Yveltal comes from the letter Y. It may also be derived from yvel (a Middle English spelling of evil) and quetzal.
