Yanma

Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Yanma is the Clear Wing Pokémon — Bug and Flying before Yanmega. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Yanmega — not a finished raid attacker. Bug/Flying hits Grass, Psychic, and Fighting well; Fire, Flying, Rock, and Electric punish it. Catch Yanma from the wild, eggs, or events, then evolve.

Yanma (#193) is a Bug / Flying Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the baby stage of Yanmega. Trainers almost never power Yanma for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Yanmega. Against Yanma, lead with Fire, Flying, Rock, or Electric. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
