Jessie's Yanmega (Japanese: ムサシのメガヤンマ Musashi's Megayanma) is the first Pokémon caught by Jessie of Team Rocket during her travels through Sinnoh. She is voiced by 古島清孝 Kiyotaka Furushima in both English and Japanese.
History
Jessie caught her as a Yanma in The Thief That Keeps On Thieving! after Tyler battled and weakened her. After she captured her, Yanma was sent to Giovanni as their second successful theft. However, he immediately returned her after analyzing it and realizing she wasn't good enough, also they already had plenty of them. Jessie then decided to train Yanma herself, not knowing that Yanma already knew AncientPower, when she sent her into battle, it quickly evolved into Yanmega.
She is used often by Jessie, sometimes replacing Seviper as her main fighter. So far she has shown itself to be a strong battler, as she destroyed Pikachu's Thunderbolt with her SonicBoom attack as seen in A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine.
Yanmega made her Contest debut in Battling the Generation Gap! where she was used in the Celestic Contest Appeal Rounds. Yet, she failed to get Jessie to the next round.
In A Shield with a Twist, Jessie entered Yanmega in the Majolica Town Pokémon Contest and won her second Ribbon. In Another One Gabites the Dust!, Jessie entered Yanmega in the Chocovine Town Pokémon Contest where she passed the appeal round with a dazzling performance.
In Pursuing a Lofty Goal!, James borrowed Yanmega in order to enter into a PokéRinger competition. Jessie was reluctant as James failed to win the competition with her Dustox before. Like before, James failed to win with Yanmega.

Trivia
- Jessie captured Yanma after someone else weakened it. This echoes how she captured her Shellder. In this case, it was Tyler and his Piplup that weakened Yanma, whereas James's Weezing weakened Shellder.
- As a Yanma, she is the third Pokémon to evolve in the same episode it was captured after Ash's Caterpie in Ash Catches a Pokémon and Mankey in Primeape Goes Bananas (though in Mankey's case, it evolved prior to being captured, whereas Yanma and Caterpie evolved after their capture). Because Ash's Metapod did not further evolve into Butterfree until midway through the next episode, Yanma reached its final form the fastest of all Pokémon belonging to the main characters. Caterpie also appeared in a flashback Ash had in the episode Yanma was captured.
- This is Jessie's first new Pokémon since she obtained Charizard in Grating Spaces, and her first capture since she caught her Wurmple in All in a Day's Wurmple, 257 episodes before. Oddly enough, that episode had a Yanma in it that was owned by another trainer.
- Yanma was the third of four Generation II Pokémon to be in the party of a member of the main cast during the Diamond & Pearl series, preceded by Sudowoodo, and Gligar and followed by Swinub (fifth of six if one counts Wobbuffet and Aipom).
- Yanmega is the second Generation IV Pokémon to evolve from a Generation II Pokémon on-screen after Dawn's Ambipom, and the third Generation II Pokémon to evolve into a Generation IV Pokémon overall, since Paul's Murkrow evolved into Honchkrow off-screen between Riding the Winds of Change! and Lost Leader Strategy!.
- Yanmega is also the first Pokémon to evolve after learning the move AncientPower, the second being Dawn's Mamoswine.
- Yanmega is the first Template:Type2 Jessie captured, though she temporarily owned two Charizard.
- She is Jessie's only Pokémon that she has with her that can have more than one ability.
- She is the second Pokémon of Jessie's thus far to win her a ribbon in a Pokémon contest, the first being her Dustox, which she no longer owns.
- Yanmega is the only Pokémon of Jessie or James to use its ability.
- In Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!, it was discovered that Yanmega is female. When Togepi used Attract, Yanmega was the only one unaffected while Pikachu, Meowth, Piplup, and Croagunk were. It was already known that three of the said Pokémon were male; while Pikachu was finally confirmed to be male in the episode.
