Strategy Overview

Yanma differentiates itself from other Reversal sweepers such as Vigoroth with its unique access to Speed Boost and Spikes immunity. The unresisted type combination of Fighting and STAB Flying makes Yanma an absolute menace once the snowball starts rolling. Yanma also has nifty resistances to Grass and Fighting and an immunity to Ground. However, Yanma suffers from the same issues as any other Reversal sweeper: a vulnerability to priority and physically bulky Pokemon. Yanma's Attack stat is decent at best, only letting it dish out meaningful damage while at 1 HP and +1 Attack. Nevertheless, Yanma is one of NU's scariest late-game sweepers.
