Yanma (Japanese: ヤンヤンマ, Hepburn: Yanyanma) (YAN-ma) is a Bug/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

Biology

Physiology

Yanma is a large, red Pokémon that resembles a dragonfly. Compared to its long, thin abdomen, its thorax is short and wide. It has three pairs of two-toed legs and two pairs of wings with red bands on them. A bright green mask marking covers most of its face, and it has two spikes on top of its head. Its blue eyes can see all around its body allowing it to have a high evasiveness. The end of Yanma's tail has two flat extensions from the sides and two gray spikes in the center.

Behavior

Yanma are some of the most agile fliers in the world. They can fly in any direction: forwards, backwards, up, down, left, and right; they can even hover in place. They flap their wings extremely quickly; to defend themselves, Yanma can increase the speed of their flapping to generate shock waves and stun foes.These waves are strong enough to shatter glass windows. Their compound eyes can turn 360°, allowing them to see in virtually any direction. This is useful when Yanma are hunting their preferred prey—insects. Yanma are very territorial against other Yanma, defending their domains from intruders with attacks like Sonic Boom and Bug Buzz.

They primarily reside in humid swamps and marshes, though they can also be found in damper woodlands. Yanma catch insects in their strong mandibles, oftentimes grabbing them out of the air mid-flight and carrying them back to their nests to feed upon in private. They use the two long growths on either end of their tails to remain balanced as they quickly dart around in search of food.

Evolution

Yanma evolves into Yanmega by leveling up after learning Ancient Power.

Appearances

Anime

Jessie's Yanma.

• Zachary Evans' Yanma
• Forrester's Yanma
• Jessie's Yanma
• Tyler's Yanma

Trivia

• Yanma is the only Generation II Pokémon that can only evolve while knowing a certain move that was not owned by Dawn.
  • It is also the only one that has been used by Jessie.
• Yanma is one of the ten Pokémon that evolves upon knowing a move. In this case, it needs to know the move Ancient Power.

Origin

Yanma is based on a dragonfly, with very few elements of Meganeura. The extra wings towards its tail may indicate that it's also based on a helicopter, as helicopters and dragonflies can both hover in place, fly backwards, fly sideways, and turn in place in midair.

Etymology

Yanma and Yanyanma come from 蜻蜓 (yanma, Japanese for "large dragonfly").
