PvE Analysis

Yanmega looks a lot cooler and meaner after its evolution form Yanma, but unfortunately that's about all it has going for it. While it does compete with the top Bug-types in the game, it doesn't necessarily surpass them in performance. As a Flying-type, Yanmega got blessed with a double STAB Flying-type moveset, but is cursed with a lackluster Aerial Ace. Overall the dragonfly is quite good as a Bug-type attacker during Rainy weather, but Bug-types aren't really worth investing in. 

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

Bug Bite + Bug BuzzBest
  • Bug Bite should be paired with Bug Buzz to fulfill Yanmega's role as a Bug-type attacker. 

  • Wing Attack can pair well with Aerial Ace to fulfill a Flying-type role, but there are usually better options. 

  • Ancient Power doesn't have a use on Yanmega. 

Best PvE Defensive Moveset

Wing Attack + Aerial Ace or Bug BuzzBest
  • Wing Attack is superior to Bug Bite on defense. 

  • Bug Buzz has the highest base power and can deal a chunk of damage if undodged. 

  • Aerial Ace is more likely to be used before Yanmega faints. 

  • Ancient Power has a late damage window and is more easily dodged. 

PvP Analysis

Wing Attack + Aerial Ace and Bug Buzz

Wing Attack has better stats than Bug Bite.

Aerial Ace is chosen in this moveset to diversify Yanmega's coverage, though Bug Buzz isn't a terrible move if extra Bug-type damage is needed. Ancient Power can be used to pressure Fire-type Pokemon.

Great League0 / 5

Yanmega is a great choice as a Bug-type attacker in PvE, but unfortunately doesn't bug a lot of opponents in PvP. A relatively high ATK stat reduces its overall bulk, while its Bug/Flying typing gives it more vulnerabilities than resistances. Even though its Flying-type moveset could be of use in Great League, there's other competitors who can fulfill that role a lot better. Overall not too exciting for PvP, and while its name is mega cool, it'll mostly return mega losses. 

Ultra League0 / 5

Yanmega's typing isn't really relevant in Ultra League due to the sheer dominance of Giratina and abundance of Steel-types. Consider other Pokemon instead. 

Master League0 / 5
Yanmega really doesn't have any relevant targets in the Master League.
