August in Pokemon GO was a wonderful time for players as the Legendary Pokemon available in the five-star raid lineup were all top-notch. The options ranged from the tanky Cresselia to box Legendaries like Xerneas and Yveltal. One of the most exciting among these was Yveltal, the cover star for Pokemon Y.
Yveltal, caught in Pokemon GO from raids in August 2023, would know the Charged Attack Oblivion Wing. This is the first time the Destruction Pokemon got access to its Signature move from the main series games. This pocket monster was available in raids from August 16-23 and then from August 27-September 1, 2023.
Considering Oblivion Wing makes Yveltal shine much brighter in the GO Battle League meta, many players might want to use it in trainer battles.

However, if you wish to use it in battle, it has the power to win against popular critters in this format, such as Trevenant, Venusur, Cresselia, Giratina (Altered), and Jellicent.
You might be wondering why Yveltal's ideal IVs for Ultra League has only one Attack IV. This is because Attack IVs have heavier weightage when it comes to CP calculation. Critters with high Attack IVs have to compromise on a great deal of bulk in limited CP format such as Ultra League.
