Yveltal is also one of the best offensive checks to many of the metagame's most threatening Pokemon, such as Primal Groudon, Necrozma-DM, and Marshadow. It is difficult for Yveltal to be of little use in battle even with offensive sets, as it adds much-needed role compression to offensive teams.

Yveltal can also run this set with Choice Scarf to become a powerful revenge killer and cleaner. Something cool to note is that Wobbuffet cannot Mirror Coat Yveltal. !_!
