Yanmega (メガヤンマ, Megayanma in original Japanese language versions) is one of the Template:Pokenum fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar[1] Pokémon media franchise – a collection of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards and other media, created by Satoshi Tajiri. Yanmega is famous for being the evolved form of Yanma, a Pokémon from a previous generation and for appearing in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. The purpose of Yanmega in the games, anime and manga, as with all other Pokémon, is to battle both wild Pokémon, untamed creatures encountered while the player passes through various environments, and tamed Pokémon owned by Pokémon trainers.[2]
The English name Yanmega and the Japanese name Megayanma are portmanteaux of the words Meganeura and the Japanese word for dragonfly (蜻蜓, yanma).
Biological characteristics
Yanmega resembles a dragonfly, but a more vicious one than Yanma. It looks very much like Yanma, with the main difference being that the placement of the green and red colors have been switched. It also has the characteristics of a jumbo jet (window-like eyes and markings,a tail similar to an aircraft's). Yanmega is based on the Meganeura, an ancient dragonfly that grew to huge proportions. Yanmega even has three spines on its back and one on its tail, each resembling that of a dragon.
In the video games
Yanmega evolves from Yanma by leveling up while it knows Ancientpower, implying its status as an ancient pokemon. According to the Pokédex, ultrasonic waves coming from Yanmega's wings can cause lethal damage to a foe's internal organs. This is possibly a reference to the Godzilla foe Megaguirus, which is also based on the Meganeura, which have sonic wing attacks and a similar tail. Yanmega retains the ability Speed Boost when evolving; the ability Compoundeyes on Yanma corresponds to Yanmega's Tinted Lens ability. The Tinted Lens ability doubles the damage it does to a foe if the attack wasn't very effective.
Yanmega has high Special Attack and Speed stats, but suffers from a below average Special Defense.
