Yveltal
Yveltal arrived with Mega Evolution on 26 September 2025. Here is what it does once it is on the table, and what it is worth right now.
What the card itself says
Everything below is written on the card itself: how much health it has, what it fears, and what its attacks cost.
ITS ATTACKS
What to make of it
Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.
WHAT IT HAS GOING FOR IT
- It retreats for free. You can pull it back to the Bench whenever you like, even with no Energy on it at all.
- N's Zoroark ex runs it in 28 of the 33 lists we have read, seen across 25 different tournaments.
- It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.
- Mark I. The next rotation takes mark H away, so this one stays tournament legal.
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
- Weakness Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,150 tournament lists we have read, 270 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
What it costs
We have no price to show you for this card today. The link below takes you where it sells, and you will see the day's numbers there.
Who plays it

The other cards of this Pokémon
Two cards of the same Pokémon can be worth wildly different amounts — it depends on the set, the rarity and the artwork. We put all 27 Yveltal cards on one page, priciest first.
Where to find it
You've just read a page about the game. We can do far more with one match.
Everything above is about the game in general. The thing we're really good at is one single match: yours. When a game ends, Pokémon TCG Live leaves you a log — the written record of everything that happened, turn by turn. Paste it here and we'll replay each of your decisions hundreds of times, then tell you which one actually cost you the game.
It's free and there's no account to make. Your log stays in your browser: your browser is what replays the game.
