Both are bad!
I believe a Max Darkness hits harder then Max Hailstorm in Delta Stream

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 OHKO
VS
252+ 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 Xerneas

Consistently, not.
252+ SpA Life Orb Yveltal Max Ooze vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Xerneas: 255-302 (64.8 - 76.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ SpA Life Orb Yveltal Max Airstream vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Xerneas: 309-367 (78.6 - 93.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
- Definitely not. Any average player is well aware of the fact that if Yveltal is Dynamaxed and at +1 Speed, most player would Dynamax away their Yveltal or Xerneas.
- It is smarter to go with Max Airstream if you're at +1 Speed so that you outspeed them after their +2 Geomancy, considering Timid/Hasty Yveltal is faster than Modest Xerneas.
- Hidden Power [Ice] isn't totally bad, but it is limited to only physical sets for which it breaks Zygarde which walls Physical Yveltal totally.
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/Focus Blast are much options to consider. Why?
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.
- Remember that Hidden Power [Poison]'s Sp.Atk boosting capability under Dynamax may make you more vulnerable to Ditto and it will countersweep you.
- The best choice for 4th moveslot is definitely Sucker Punch.
Neither. Use Sucker Punch instead, to check Calyrex-S consistently

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 dynamax

Not only this, it also OHKOes Primal Kyogre and provides a way to check Scarf Kyogre better through Sucker Punch.
- 4 Atk Life Orb Dark Aura Yveltal Max Darkness vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Chansey: 374-442 (53.2 - 62.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
- 4 Atk Life Orb Dark Aura Yveltal Max Darkness vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Blissey: 515-606 (72.1 - 84.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
- 4 Atk Life Orb Dark Aura Yveltal Max Darkness vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Kyogre-Primal: 309-367 (90.6 - 107.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock
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!
