Jessie's Yanmega (Japanese: ムサシのメガヤンマ Musashi's Megayanma) is the first Pokémon caught by Jessie of Team Rocket during her travels through Sinnoh. It is voiced by 古島清孝 Kiyotaka Furushima in Japanese.

History

Jessie caught it as a Yanma in DP080 after Taisei battled and weakened it. After she captured it, Yanma was sent to Giovanni as their second successful theft. However, he immediately returned it after analyzing it and finding it to be too weak. Jessie then decided to train Yanma herself, not knowing that Yanma already knew AncientPower. Thus when she sent it into battle it quickly evolved into Yanmega.

Moves used

• AncientPower
• Quick Attack
• SonicBoom
• Wing Attack
• Silver Wind

Trivia

Jessie captures Yanma after it is weakened by Taisei

• Jessie captured Yanma after someone else weakened it. This echos how she captured her Shellder. In this case, it was Taisei and his Piplup that weakened Yanma, whereas James's Weezing weakened Shellder.
• As a Yanma, it is the third Pokémon to evolve in the same episode it was captured after Ash's Caterpie in Ash Catches a Pokémon and Mankey in Primeape Goes Bananas (though in Mankey's case, it evolved prior to being captured, whereas Yanma and Caterpie evolved after their capture). Because Ash's Metapod did not further evolve into Butterfree until midway through the next episode, Yanma reached its final form the fastest of all Pokémon belonging to the main characters. Caterpie also appeared in a flashback Ash had in the episode Yanma was captured.
• This is Jessie's first new Pokémon since she obtained Charizard in Grating Spaces, and her first capture since she caught her Wurmple in All in a Day's Wurmple, 257 episodes before. Oddly enough, that episode had a Yanma in it that was owned by another trainer.
• As a Yanma, it was the fourth Generation II Pokémon owned by a main character in the Diamond & Pearl series, the others being Dawn's Aipom, Brock's Sudowoodo and Ash's Gligar.
• Yanmega is the second Generation IV Pokémon to evolve from a Generation II Pokémon on-screen after Dawn's Ambipom, and the third Generation II Pokémon to evolve into a Generation IV Pokémon overall, since Paul's Murkrow evolved into Honchkrow off-screen between Riding the Winds of Change! and Lost Leader Strategy!.
• Yanmega is the first Flying-type Jessie captured, though she previously temporarily owned two Charizard.
