James's Yamask (Japanese: コジロウのデスマス Kojirō's Desumasu) is the first Pokémon that James caught in the Unova region.
History
Yamask appeared before Team Rocket in a warehouse in BW025, where James proceeded to feed it. Once it was full, it happily went into James's Poké Ball.
In BW029, Yamask befriends a group of Litwick in a mansion that Team Rocket was using as a base. However, it was kidnapped by the Candle Pokémon in an apparent attempt to lure James, Jessie and Meowth into a trap. Yamask teams up with Jessie's Woobat, Ash's Oshawott, Ash's Pikachu, and Cilan's Dwebble to defeat the Litwick and their Lampent leader.
Yamask battled Ash and co almost every time Team Rocket encountered them from then onwards. In BW030, Yamask was used to battle Amy's Druddigon and Iris's Axew, and despite using a powerful Night Shade attack, it was defeated by Druddigon's Draco Meteor. Yamask was used again in BW037, it was used to battle Ash and friends alongside Jessie's Woobat. They were defeated by Ash's Tepig's Ember, Pikachu's Electro Ball and the Roggenrola's Flash Cannon.
Personality
Like many of James's Pokémon before it, Yamask is very friendly and is shown to already have a great relationship with its Trainer. It is a very thankful Pokémon as shown when it willingly entered James's Poké Ball after it was given a little food. Also, unlike most of James's recent Pokémon, such as his Carnivine, Yamask doesn't show any kind of special affection to him when coming out of its Poké Ball.

Trivia
- Yamask is the first Ghost-type Pokémon to be officially owned by a main character.
- This is the first Pokémon James has added to his party since Carnivine in Two Degrees of Separation!, 214 episodes before. Since Carnivine was actually obtained when James was still a child, this is his first capture in 261 episodes.
