Appearances[]
Anime[]
- Yveltal (XY141)
- Yveltal (Generations)
Yveltal made its first anime appearance in MS017 along with Xerneas and Diancie. It made an actual anime appearance in The Legend of X, Y, and Z!
Manga[]
- Yveltal
- Hiroshi's Yveltal
Trivia[]
- Yveltal is a counterpart Xerneas due to Xerneas representing life and Yveltal representing destruction.
- Yveltal's design looks similar to Lugia's but with the color scheme of Groudon.
- Yveltal resembles Rathalos from the Monster hunter series.
- Yveltal has its own signature move, Oblivion Wing.
- Despite being a force of destruction Yveltal has been shown in the anime to not be inherently malicious: in "Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction" after it was calmed by Xerneas, it flew off with no further enmity to anyone.
- It is likely that Yveltal, being a force of nature, is not outright evil but a morally-neutral force that causes devastation but is not ultimately doing so out of any wicked intent.
Origin[]
Yveltal may be based on the eagle that guards Yggdrasil in Norse legend. It may also be based on a carrion bird such as a vulture, which represents death, or perhaps even a twisted inversion of a phoenix (with it symbolizing new life and rebirth while Yveltal represents oblivion and destruction). Its coloring and wing-design also make it similar to the devil's hand plant, a plant stated to "smell worse than death". Yveltal also moves through the air, possibly referencing the Y-axis on a graph, being vertical, as opposed to Xerneas who moves on the ground, representing the X-axis, being horizontal.
Its Shiny coloration resembles raw meat or a decaying carcass, with the white parts resembling exposed, bleached bone with some fragments of decomposed flesh (in red) still attached.
Etymology[]
Yveltal and its Japanese name, Iberutaru, may come from Y (representing the Y-axis), evil, quetzal (a type of bird), and talon (a bird's claws).
