Yveltal is arriving in Pokemon GO with the Luminous Legends Y event, so players will finally be able to add the Legendary to their Pokedex.
The Luminous Legends Y event is split into two parts:
- Part 1 runs from Tuesday, May 18 at 10:00 a.m. local time until Monday, May 24 at 8:00 p.m. local time.
- Part 2 runs between Tuesday, May 25, 10:00 a.m. local time, and Monday, May 31, 8:00 p.m. local time.
This guide will cover everything you need to know about Luminous Legends Y in Pokemon GO.
How To Get Yveltal In Pokemon GO
Throughout the Luminous Legends Y event, Yveltal will appear in five-star raids. You will need to team up with other players to take on this Legendary Pokemon.
Yveltal is a Dark/Flying-type Pokemon, so you'll want to opt for counters that are Fairy-, Rock-, Ice-, and Electric-type. Some great options that are fairly common include Electivire, Rhyperior, Raikou, and Mamoswine, but there are many others that work well, too.
How To Get Sylveon In Pokemon GO
During Part 2 of the Luminous Legends Y event, Sylveon will debut in Pokemon GO. This is Eevee's Fairy-type evolution.
To get a Sylveon, you will need to make Eevee your buddy and earn hearts as you walk with your Pokemon. Naming an Eevee Kira should make it evolve into Sylveon, too, but do note that this only works once, as with the other "nickname tricks."
