Strategy & play
How Yanmega plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Nosedive) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
- Hits for 120 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
- Needs Grass Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Grass type, weak to Fire ×2 — a Fire attacker doing ≥60 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- A Stage 1 — one step up from Yanma; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.
How to beat Yanmega
- Exploit its Fire weakness — ≥60 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.

How can I tell if my Yanmega is real?
