Which moveset should I use for yveltal?

Question

i'm in the gen 8 battle tower doubles and want to know which moveset is better for my yveltal. I also plan on using dracovish/kyogre with it.

yveltal first set
ability:dark aura
item: big root
EV's: I dunno lol
moves:
Dark pulse
Oblivion wing
Psychic/phantom force
sucker punch
Dark pulse is STAB. oblivion wing is STAB+recovery. psychic/phantom force is coverage. sucker punch is priority STAB
yveltal second set
item big root
EV's: I dunno lol
Moves:
Dark pulse
oblivion wing
Tailwind
Snarl
Dark pulse is STAB. oblivion wing is STAB+recovery. tailwind is for dracovish/kyogre to reliably use fishious rend or water spout. Snarl is for dealing with special attackers.
But what's better? strongest priority move because of dark aura + coverage, or doubling speed of yveltal + allies and weakening special attackers?

https://www.smogon.com/dex/ss/pokemon/yveltal/ you might have some luck on this page. Why big root though? Longevity with oblivion wing recovery?

i put big root so my yveltal can stick around

Answer 1

You didn't ask on Smogon, so I asked for you.

I don't think anyone really fiddled much with battle tower given the massive advantage you have over the AI (both being able to use restricted, and dynamax any Pokemon at any time).
..that said if I were to run yveltal, I'd probably just go AV (snarl / sucker punch / oblivion wing / x) or LO/black glasses and 3 attack + protect, and have a different tailwind setter (or none at all). Considering the bst advantage ubers have, may as well use them for their offensive potential.
