Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Yanma

The Bug/Flying-type Yanma is back in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s Teal Mask DLC. Here’s how to find and evolve it for your Kitakami Pokedex.

Generation II’s Clear Wing Pokemon is back alongside its Gen IV evolution as part of Scarlet and Violet‘s first wave of DLC, The Teal Mask. Yanma and Yanmega can be found in the new area, Kitakami, allowing players to add these cool Bug/Flying-types to their teams.

Yanma also has a fairly unique evolution method, so here’s how to find one and evolve it into Yanmega.

Where to find Yanma in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Yanma can be found early on in The Teal Mask, as it lives in grassy and rocky areas, such as the starting area just south of Mossui Town and the central mountain.

This includes the following areas:

  • Kitakami Road
  • Apple Hills
  • Oni Mountain
  • Kitakami Wilds
  • Wistful Fields

Where to find Yanmega in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Yanmega cannot be found in the wild in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Players will have to catch a Yanma and evolve it.

How to evolve Yanma into Yanmega in Scarlet & Violet

Yanma evolves into Yanmega by leveling up while it knows the move Ancient Power.

Yanma learns Ancient Power at level 33. If your Yanma is above that level and doesn’t know Ancient Power, don’t worry. Fortunately, Scarlet and Violet allows Pokemon to remember moves at anytime by opening up their “Moves and Stats” page and pressing “A” to change moves.

From there, just level Yanma up through battles or Exp. Candies to trigger its evolution.
