How To Catch Yveltal In Pokemon Go
The official Pokemon Go blog confirmed back in 2021 that Yveltal will be appearing in five-star raids during the Luminous Legends Y Part 1 Event.
You were then able to spot Yveltal in raid locations all over the globe starting at 10:50 on 18 May 2021. You could then open the game and raid with some friends or strangers online.
There is no mention of Yveltal appearing wild or in field research tasks. These raid battles were your best chance to capture a Yveltal. The event ended on Monday 24 May 2021.
So how can you catch Yvetal in 2022? Well, that's the thing, you can't. For now, at least! Like most of the raid Pokemon, Yvetal entered into the Raid Pokemon rotation. You need to check back monthly into Pokemon Go and check out the current Raid Boss rotation. Or wait until it gets added to Special Research or maybe Research Breakthrough as part of some event.
Best Counters for Yveltal on Pokemon Go
The Pokemon Go blog also confirms that Yveltal is going to be a Dark- and Flying-type Pokemon. This means it will not be able to resist Electric, Fairy, and Ice-type attacks. If it falls into one of these camps it's a good idea to use a powerful Pokemon in raid battles.

Can You Catch A Shiny Yveltal In Pokemon Go?
Don't push your luck! Pokemon Go long-term fans will be able to tell that new additions don't always have a shiny version. The regular Yveltal will be available in the game for now. When he eventually comes back in the Raid Rotation, he will most likely already have a shiny version. But for now, we can only speculate.
