Yveltal is the most used Pokemon in SS Ubers and serves as an essential aspect of the metagame due to the value it provides with its role compression. Specially defensive Yveltal is one of the premier defensive Pokemon in the tier, serving as a check to the prevalent Calyrex-S and soft checking other foes such as Necrozma-DM. Knock Off and U-turn provide general utility and complement each other, as U-turn allows Yveltal to pivot against Knock Off switch-ins such as Eternatus, Buzzwole, and Tangrowth. Foul Play is a decent alternative that, in conjunction with this EV spread, allows Yveltal to handle offensive Groudon and Necrozma-DM. Roost allows Yveltal to consistently switch into Calyrex-S. Yveltal form a fantastic core with the other two major forces in SS Ubers: Eternatus and Necrozma-DM. Eternatus provides a switch-in to Knock Off, absorbs Toxic, and provides a secondary check to Calyrex-S, while Necrozma-DM checks opposing Eternatus and Xerneas and provides entry hazard and status support.

The content of this is fine, but I feel you need to emphasise how great Yveltal is more, possibly over the mentions of Sticky Web or the Ground-type teammates. This is the single most used pokemon in the tier, and it doesnt come across that way as it is.

QC 1/1.
