Is Yveltal good in Standard?
Its hardest-hitting attack is Dark Strike on Yveltal ex (Perfect Order), doing 210 for 3 Energy. The bulkiest version is Yveltal ex with 210 HP, but it gives up 2 Prize cards when Knocked Out. 1 version has free retreat, which makes Yveltal easy to switch in and out. Watch out for Lightning attackers — that's its weakness.
Abilities
Yveltal (30th Celebration): Life-Locked. Abilities can be used without attacking — check the card for exactly what each one does.
