Be careful of Yanma's double weakness to Rock-type moves, which deal 156% increased damage. Opponents with these move types can take down Yanma very quickly.

Yanma's moves get a damage boost in Rainy and Windy weather. Take advantage of weather conditions to maximize your DPS in raids and gym battles.

Verdict

Collector's Pick
Yanma is a Bug/Flying-type Pokemon with base stats of 154/94/163 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 1,662. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Yanma may shine during specific events, in limited-format cups, or when new moves are added in future updates. For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Yanma in Pokemon GO?
Yanma has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Yanma for raids, gym battles, or PvP — check the moves section above for a full breakdown of each move's DPS, energy cost, and coverage.
What are Yanma's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Yanma is weak to Rock, Electric, Fire, Flying, Ice-type moves. It has a double weakness to Rock, taking 156% more damage from these types. When battling Yanma, prioritize using Rock-type attackers to exploit this double weakness for maximum effectiveness. On the other hand, Yanma resists Ground, Fighting, Grass, Bug-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Yanma effectively in raids and gyms, build a team using its weakest type matchups and pick attackers that have STAB moves of those types.
What is Yanma's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Yanma's maximum CP is 1,662 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 1,470 at level 40. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon. Yanma's CP is calculated from its base stats: 154 Attack, 94 Defense, and 163 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully. A 100% IV Yanma caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 840 CP, or 1,050 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Yanma?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Yanma has the following CP at key levels: 630 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 840 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 1,050 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 1,662 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Yanma, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Yanma ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
How to get Yanma in Pokemon GO?
Yanma can be found in the wild, though it may be rare depending on your biome and current events. Currently available as a 3-Star Raids raid boss. Yanma can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Yanma be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Yanma's availability depends on whether Niantic has released its shiny form. Not all Pokemon have their shiny forms available yet. Check the current events page and Community Day announcements for any updates on shiny Yanma availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
