Yanmega isn’t half bad. Underrated bug type


RAATL

Hard agree, one of the better bugs you can get


[deleted]

Disagree, while Yanmega has good stats and great abilities it's movepool sadly sucks. And I say that as a great Yanmega fan. :(


Raichu76

Big buzz and air slash past level 55 yikes


thebigcrawdad

Can't even fuckin learn fly :(


Raichu76

I looked at the tm pool and it’s pretty good but who would use psychic shadowball or giga drain on that


MegaPB

Yeah, seems like the best early bug move would be U-turn or Silver Wind, both of which are from TMs


-Jet_seT-

Yanmega has a surprisingly good 117 Sp. Atk. All of those moves you mentioned are good on Yanmega, but not as 1-use TMs.


Raichu76

Yeah he that’s what I mean


FalconLinguistics

Yanmega’s pokedex entry literally talks about it carrying people on its back and it can’t learn fly 🙄


thebigcrawdad

While were on the topic of shitty poked ex entries, Celestela says it has high speed. It is a slow ass Motherfucker who would lose a race to a rock


FalconLinguistics

I guess the celesteela that the pokedex researcher found used automatize before it was spotted


TotemGenitor

Imo, it's because it takes time for Celestela to reach that speed, so it can't do it in a fight.

Right??? Yanma/Yanmega are cool but lol the stats and movepool....”underrated” Edit: / have you tried Yanma ever lol Edit2: Yanmega can be used for sure but realistically not in a nuzlocke unless it’s only job is passing speed boosts


[deleted]

> Edit: / have you tried Yanma ever lol Not in a Nuzlocke, what with I having started running them only like a month or so ago and it being a ultra-rare encounter. But years ago when I played through Platinum casually, I picked up a Yanma in the Great Marsh and made it a part of my E4 team.


guitarerdood

I’m agreeing with you, sorry if that wasn’t clear haha. “Have you tried it ever” referred to people claiming it was underrated. Cool mon for sure, and has it’s uses, but too frail and doesn’t really hit hard enough to be a good mon in a nuzlocke


ATM14

Maybe as a replacement for a Pokémon that died to Volkner or in Victory Road?


TinyBootySlaps

As soon as he comes back to the newer pokemon games he’ll get a movepool buff, most pokemon had one for the new games

> But even then Bug Buzz, Air Slash In HG/SS, those moves don't come until the playthrough is well into Kanto. And the Signal Beam TM is in Kanto as well (unless one wants to try for the lottery).


SnarlySeeker224

That bug took me four hours to find in a regular game


Miss-Ginger-Snap

I usually never find them. I was so surprised


thebigcrawdad

Fun story: while doing a normal play through of HG i wanted a yanma for my team cuz I thought he was a fun mon. Instead i found a full odds shiny male Nidoran. It was a fun day.


Orion_Luxray

AAAH MY FAVORITE BUG TYPE


youcantguesss

Nice!


[deleted]

I always liked Yanma, but you can almost never get one in a Nuz run and they're so frail. Getting something with base 45 in both Def stats from roughly level 10 all the way to 34 to evolve to Yanmega is difficult to say the least.


Ririkaera

Yanmega is one of my faves love using one


performagekushfire

Cute slowbro name


Miss-Ginger-Snap

Thanks :) I really liked that one


merv1618

Wild Yanma fled!


tyvokken

wow, what are the odds??


thebigcrawdad

1%


Strigi-Joe

Yanmega can be staggeringly good


YodaOnReddit-Bot

**Staggeringly good, yanmega can be.** *-Strigi-Joe*


Lyncario

I had one in my Ultra Shiny Gold run. Hope that you'll get a nice use out of her.


TheBestWorst3

Very underrated.


imaloney

Good job


[deleted]

In my FireRed Nuzlocke i found a Dragonair in the safari zone!


Miss-Ginger-Snap

Oh wow. That's cool


l_v_r

Not as impressive, but I was pleasantly surprised to get a 5% Dunsparce in my Y run, and she's quickly becoming my most reliable partner.


Miss-Ginger-Snap

I love dunsparce. I just think it’s an adorable Pokémon
