The character
Yveltal is the Legendary Pokémon known as the Destruction Pokémon, first introduced in the Kalos region games. It embodies the concept of life's end, able to absorb the life energy of all living things when its own life fades, after which it reverts into a cocoon form. In the Pokémon games it is paired with Xerneas as a representation of destruction versus life.
