Yanma (Japanese: ヤンヤンマ Yanyanma) is a dual-type Bug/Flying Pokémon.

It evolves into Yanmega when leveled up while knowing AncientPower.

Biology

Physiology

Yanma is a large, red dragonfly Pokémon. It has a long thin abdomen and a comparatively short thorax. It has three pairs of legs and two pairs of wings with red bands on them. Its head is also mostly red, except for its very large bright green eyes that take up most of the space on its head. It has exceptional vision.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

It can use its compound eyes to see completely around itself, making it easier to capture prey and avoid predators. It also can flap its wings very fast to generate shock waves which can break glass. Yanma's trademark attack seems to be SonicBoom, as seen in the anime and Pokédex.

Behavior

Habitat

In Pokémon Gold and Silver, Yanma was very rare except for the occasional swarm. It is often found in wooded and swampy areas.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

It is a hunter that uses its amazing eyesight and speed to pursue its prey.

In the anime

Yanma first appeared in Wings n' Things. It was carelessly breaking glass in a town.

Yanma also made a cameo in Pikachu's PikaBoo.

A Yanma appeared in All in a Day's Wurmple, under the ownership of Forrester Franklin.

A group of Yanma also appeared in The Rise of Darkrai.

Yanma also appeared in Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One.

In The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!, a rookie Trainer named Tyler was about to capture a Yanma that his Piplup had weakened, when Team Rocket showed up, and Jessie captured it instead. They sent it to Giovanni; however, Team Rocket already had obtained a large number of Yanma and so Giovanni returned it to them. When Jessie used Yanma in battle, it used AncientPower and evolved into a Yanmega. During this time, another weakened Yanma got away. A third Yanma appeared afterwards, and Tyler finally captured that one.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Special manga

A trio of Yanma are accidentally let loose in Template:PSV, causing minor chaos at Indigo Plateau.

In the TCG
