Strategy Overview

Yanmega finds a niche on Bug teams thanks to Tinted Lens, which turns Yanmega into a fantastic wallbreaker. This lets Yanmega deal with Steel- and Flying-types such as Archaludon and Gliscor that would otherwise pose a threat to Bug teams. However, Yanmega is held back by its typing, mediocre general bulk, and a middling Speed tier. It thus requires a careful team composition to make the most out of Yanmega.
