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, and another as one of the Pokémon to appear in Latios and Latias' garden in Pokémon Heroes.
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.

Trivia
- Yanma and its evolution, Yanmega, are the only Pokémon whose names begin with the letter Y.
- Yanma weighs exactly the same as male player in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. It shares this characteristic with Sudowoodo, Skuntank, Togekiss, and Fearow.
- Prior to Generation IV, Yanma could only learn one Flying-type move: Wing Attack, and could not learn any Bug-type moves via leveling up.
- In Gold and Silver, the spikes at the end of Yanma's tail are actually located under the tail.
- Yanma is the last Pokémon in Johto Pokédex order that has the same number that it has in the New Pokédex, due to its evolution and the evolutions of Aipom, Lickitung, Piloswine, and Tangela.
Origin
It is, as its name suggested, based on an ancient dragonfly because of its size and weight.
Name origin
Yanma's name is an abbreviation of its Japanese name, which is in turn 蜻蜓 yanma, large dragonfly, partially doubled.
