| “ | Oh yeah, the Yoyleberries have some extreme side-effects, sorry. | ” |
— Leafy, "The Glistening"

Yoyle Metal is a highly durable metal produced as a side effect of consuming Yoyleberries, Yoylecake, or Yoylestew. When a person eats any food containing Yoyleberry ingredients, their bodily composition is automatically converted into Yoyle Metal. However, those affected often remain unaware of the transformation.
This material is very resilient, being immune to Freeze Juice, invulnerable to lasers, resistant to Four's Zappies, and provides immunity to zombie bites and zombification. Due to its extreme density, Yoyle Metal makes affected characters unable to jump high or run efficiently.
The effects of Yoyle Metal can only be reversed by dying or consuming a Yellow Tomato, as revealed in "Well Rested".
Effects[]
- Superhuman durability: Yoyle Metal is incredibly strong and resistant to extreme forces. However, the zombies were capable of ripping Snowball, who was made of Yoyle Metal, in half without any struggle.
- Extreme density: Yoyle Metal significantly increases the affected person's weight, limiting their ability to jump or run efficiently.
- Energy reflection: It can deflect Four's Zappies and is invulnerable to lasers.
- Freeze resistance: In "Get in the Van", a Yoyle Metal-affected Leafy withstood 28 syringes of Freeze Juice without freezing.
- Fire resistance: While it can withstand Firey's heat, it is not immune to lava.
- Zombification immunity: As seen in "Outbreak At Stake", Yoyle Metal prevents zombies from biting those affected, making them immune to zombification.
Coverage[]
Bubble turns into Yoyle Metal after eating a slice of Yoylecake in "The Glistening".
All of the contestants still in the game turn to metal at the end of "Don't Pierce My Flesh".
In "Hurtful!", the metal was extracted from the contestants to fix the Tiny Loser Chamber via the Incinerator.
Leafy was made of Yoyle Metal in most of BFDIA and IDFB 1, due to living in Yoyleland.
Ruby and Bubble are made out of Yoyle Metal throughout "The Long-lost Yoyle City". Bubble returned to normal in "Catch These Hands" when Pencil blew a bubble and recovered her in the process.
In "BFDIA 6 Deleted Scenes", Ruby, Book, Pencil, Ice Cube, Needle, Pin, Spongy, Coiny, Nickel, Bomby, and Yellow Face were turned into Yoyle Metal due to Ruby giving all of them yoyleberries.
In "Well Rested", contrary to the BFDIA 6 Deleted Scenes, only Ruby, Book, Pin, and Coiny are shown to be turned into Yoyle Metal, while Pencil, Needle, Spongy, Nickel, Bomby and Yellow Face remain unaffected. The Firey Speaker Box also consumed the berries as ordered by the original Announcer. They are all fed yellow tomatoes to remove the effect. Tennis Ball also turns into Yoyle Metal briefly during Cake at Stake.
In "Meaty", Pencil turned Firey into Yoyle Metal so he wouldn't accidentally burn down the Weak Trembling Fortress after his elimination. In "Well, Look Who It Is!", Firey eats Gelatin's Yellow Tomato, which turns him back to normal.
In "The Great Goikian Bake-Off", Snowball eats a Yoyleberry and turns into Yoyle Metal to defend against Four and X, in an attempt to steal their food.
In "Unreal BFDI", Barf Bag, Snare Drum, and Basketball eat Yoyleberries from a bush and become Yoyle Metal.
Trivia[]
- It is unknown what exactly Yoyle Metal's elemental composition is or if it can be made in any other way.
- It is immune to freezing, unlike regular metal, with the sole exception being in "Why is the BFDI Mouth everywhere?", where Mouth freezes despite having been fed Yoyleberries. However, this video is non-canon, so this can be excused.
- When turned into Yoyle Metal, Bubble is called Metal Ball (as a recommended character and by Firey Speaker Box).
- Similarly, Snowball is called Yoyleball by Bell and Robot Flower when turned into Yoyle Metal.
- The recovery Centers don’t keep the Yoyle Metal on someone if they die, making it an effective way to get rid of the effect.
- In the BFDIA 6 Deleted Scenes, Fries claims to have access to an Anti-Yoyler, which reverts the effects of Yoyle Metal. It is unknown whether this device exists in canon or not.
- In "Well Rested", it is revealed that yellow tomatoes can remove the effects of Yoyle Metal, likely as a replacement for the Anti-Yoyler.
- It is extremely heavy, as seen in "The Glistening" while Bubble struggles to jump.
- Flower also describes it as "like a thousand pounds".
- It can affect any object, even if it is already made out of metal.
- Unlike real metal, Yoyle Metal can burn in lava, as seen in "Don't Pierce My Flesh" when Bubble burns in the lava despite being Yoyle Metal.
- In "The Great Goikian Bake-Off", it is revealed that Yoyle Metal cannot be destroyed by lasers or Four and X's Zappies. In "Outbreak At Stake", it is shown that zombies are strong enough to tear Yoyle Metal Snowball apart easily.
