Team pitfalls when building around Yveltal

  • Do not stack too many teammates that are also weak to electric, ice, and rock.
  • Rock coverage and entry-hazard pressure can make this Pokemon harder to use without support.
  • Sweepers usually need defensive pivots or status support so they can enter safely.
  • Defensive Pokemon still need offensive partners; avoid building a team that cannot pressure key types.
