I believe a Max Darkness hits harder then Max Hailstorm in Delta Streamcommented 14 hours ago by PrimalKyogre

252+ SpA Life Orb Yveltal Max Hailstorm vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Rayquaza-Mega in Strong Winds: 346-408 (98.5 - 116.2%) – 93.8% chance to OHKOVS252+ SpA Life Orb Dark Aura Yveltal Max Darkness vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Rayquaza-Mega: 407-480 (115.9 - 136.7%) – guaranteed OHKO

And I also forgotten that HP Poison counters Xerneascommented 14 hours ago by ★~ProfDelldell~★

dynamaxed hidden Power poison is strong against fairy types which Yveltal is weak to (not zacian though)

According to the above calculations we see Max Airstream do more damage.

Rock Slide allows Yveltal to OHKO Ho-Oh, a common switch-in, with Max Rockfall or break through said foe without Dynamaxing after it switches into Dark Pulse.

Focus Blast removes Tyranitar, which otherwise walls Yveltal.

Neither. Use Sucker Punch instead, to check Calyrex-S consistentlycommented 14 hours ago by SSuperiority

Yeah, that’s true, but remember it does best only against Ditto transformed into Calyrex-S since its locked into one move, and in high ladder you may find Substitute or Baton Pass.

I agree with the above, it’s also good for Chansey/Blissey during dynamaxcommented 11 hours ago by PrimalKyogre

Not only this, it also OHKOes Primal Kyogre and provides a way to check Scarf Kyogre better through Sucker Punch.

Do remember one thing. If Dynamax is over, then Chansey walls you. Knock Off does the job, but you don’t need to worry about stall more than priority.Hope this helps!

I’m going to assume that your Yveltal has a life orb set to calculate the damage. I would go with hidden Power poison and here is why:

Yes he is right, max hailstorm has a 93% chance to OHKO strong winds dragon dance mega rayquaza but max darkness is guaranteed to OHKO

max hailstorm only has a 37% chance to OHKO a life orb Yveltal so hidden Power ice isn’t reliable.

max airstream is better at countering other Yveltal than hidden Power ice (and it also increases speed)

dynamaxed hidden Power poison increases special attack like you said which is very useful and might guarantee you an OHKO for most AG threats
