When its life comes to an end, it absorbs the life energy of every living thing and turns into a cocoon once more.

Yo, this is dope! Why there not many yeveltals?

i have this card
Twylis
Magma Basin, Dark Patch, Forbidden Light Malamar, and DCE (and DCE variants) make this attack surprisingly accessible in expanded. Not necessarily consistent, but good enough to have fun with it.
Twylis
Oh wait, nvm, forgot Magma Basin only attaches to Fire types. Guess you gotta manually attach the Fire Energy and have Malamar and Dark Patch handle the Colorless costs too, oof.
No Name
Welder can solve that problem, although that uses up your Supporter for the turn…
No Name
Aqua Patch can also get you the last {C} needed to attack. So, if you can pull off that combo–Welder + Dark Patch + Aqua Patch + Malamar–you’re off to the races!
No Name
Actually scratch that — Aqua Patch only lets you attach energy to benched {W} Pokémon.
You could, though, run Darkrai VSTAR and use its VSTAR power to pull the dark patch out of the discard pile so you can use it twice in one turn…

Problem is, that’s a lot to pull off every turn. Using Ho-Oh EX with Rebirth might be a more consistent strategy. Just get 3-4 Oh-Ho EX in the discard with Battle Compressor, and the 3 basic energy with Battle Compressor or Shuckle with Fresh Squeezed. From there you put a Ho-Oh on the bench (93.75% chance of success if 4 are discarded) and Ninja Boy into Yveltal and attach a DCE for turn. The problem with this deck is that it relies on a basic Pokémon’s ability, and thus can be shut down by Silent Lab and Alolan Muk. Silent Lab can be removed with Chaotic Swell, but for Alolan Muk you need to get creative. A possible solution (not a perfect one) is to use Eevee with Energy Evolution to evolve into Espeon with Shadow Ball to knock out a benched Alolan Grimer before it evolves, however this only works on the Psychic type Grimer (the most popular type).
Twylis
As long as you pull that off with a single Ho-Oh before any ability lockers enter play, then Wishful Baton could handle the rest of the Yveltals, but then tool discard effects become the new risk.
Love this card though. I’m sure this card will see a very functional combo someday, a single-prizer with a simple insta-KO effect will only get better over time as even more acceleration options get printed.

The original name of this card’s attack is アメイジングデス [𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡]. You can sort of guess why it got censured, and while changing it from Death to Destruction creates a false positive in terms of being a member of the はかい [𝐇𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐢] family of moves, it’s not an egregiously bad localization – Yveltal’s Pokédex entry *does* categorize it as the Destruction Pokémon [はかいポケモン], and Yveltal has already had a couple of other 𝐇𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐢/Destruction attacks on its cards already.
