[[Category:Generation VI Pokémon]]

Yveltal (Japanese: イベルタル, HepburnIberutaru) is a new Pokémon that is a Legendary Pokémon to be released in Pokémon X and Y. When it arms itself in flight, it looks like the letter "Y", hence the title of the game Pokémon Y.

Origin

Its form may be a reference to Norse mythology guardians of the Yggdrasil Tree: a bird-like creature that protects the top of the tree, this may be Yveltal, a deer-like creature that protects the soil and trunk of the tree, this may be Xerneas, and a snake-like creature that protects the underworld below the tree. If this is right then there might be a snake-like legendary Pokémon to go with Xerneas and Yveltal. It may also be based off a wyvern.

Yggdrasil Tree

Its name may come from the word tall since it can fly and start with the letter Y because it represents the Y axis in the 3D axis of X,Y and Z.

Trivia

  • Yveltal is the fourth Pokémon to start with a Y, the others being Yanma, Yanmega and Yamask and the first Legendary to do so.
