#717 in the National Pokédex, Yveltal is the Destruction Pokémon, able to absorb the life force of other living things, turning them to stone. At the end of its life, it will absorb the energy of all life around it and return to a cocoon to recharge. Alongside Xerneas, it is said to maintain the balance between life and death. Being feared by the ancient Kalosians, it was given a Dark/Flying dual-type.
