Trivia

• Although its Pokédex entry in HeartGold says it is able to easily carry an adult in flight, Yanmega is unable to learn the move Fly.
• Yanmega and Yanma share the same Speed base stat.
• Yanmega has the highest HP of all Bug-type Pokémon.
• Yanmega and its pre-evolution, Yanma, along with Togetic, Togekiss, Giratina and Smeargle (by Sketch), are the only Pokémon that can learn all three variations of AncientPower.

Origin

It is, as its name suggests, based on the Meganeura monyi, a particularly large, prehistoric species of dragonflies.

Name origin

Yanmega's name is a combination of 蜻蜓 yanma, large dragonfly in Japanese, and Meganeura, a species of gigantic prehistoric dragonfly. Its Japanese name means the same thing, albeit in reverse. However, it could just simply be a combination of mega, meaning large, and yanma.

In other languages

Language Name Name Origin German Yanmega French Yanmega Korean 메가자리 Megajari From 메가 mega and 잠자리 jamjari. Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong) 梅卡陽瑪 Méi Kǎ Yáng Mǎ Transliteration of its Japanese name.
