Yveltal carries this Pokédex flavor text: "When its life comes to an end, it absorbs the life energy of every living thing and turns into a cocoon once more."
What is Yveltal worth?
Yveltal is a non-holo Rare. In Celebrations, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Yveltal trades modestly, though a clean, well-centered 1st Edition copy in PSA 10 is scarcer than the print run suggests and carries a real premium. Check the live price above for the figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Yveltal before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
On Yveltal, look at the corners and the framed border first. Non-holo Rares took more handling than the chase holos, so a sharp, centered copy of Yveltal in a true PSA 10 is harder to find than the print run suggests.
If you are collecting Yveltal
For Yveltal, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Submission math on Yveltal rarely works unless the card has independent demand.
