- A second charged move costs 50,000 Dust and 50 Candy, and with 3 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Yamask deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Fog weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Yamask in Pokemon GO?
Yamask's best moveset is Zen Headbutt (fast) with Shadow Ball (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Yamask's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Yamask takes super effective damage from Dark, Ghost-type moves. It resists Fighting, Normal, Bug, Poison, so avoid those types against it.
What is Yamask's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Yamask reaches 1,110 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 982 CP at level 40. Level 50 needs XL Candy, which only unlocks at Trainer Level 31 and comes from catching, hatching, transferring and walking.
What CP is a 100% IV Yamask?
A perfect 15/15/15 Yamask shows 561 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 701 CP at level 25 (weather boosted). Seeing that exact number on the catch screen means it is a hundo — favourite it before you transfer anything.
Is Shadow Yamask better than regular Yamask?
Shadow Yamask deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more. For raids the trade is worth it; for PvP the lost bulk often is not. It arrives knowing Frustration, which should be replaced with a Charged TM during a Team GO Rocket event before you power it up.

Yamask spawns in the wild, though how often depends on your biome and the active event. It can be traded between trainers.
Can Yamask be shiny in Pokemon GO?
