Yanma are large red dragonfly Pokémon. They have a long thin abdomen and a comparatively short thorax. It has three pairs of legs and two pairs of wings with red bands on them. Its head is mostly red as well save for its very large bright green eyes. These eyes take up most of the space of its head. It has exceptional vision.

Special abilities
It can use its Template:A2 to see completely around it, and uses this to capture prey and avoid predators. It also can flap its wings very fast to generate shockwaves, which can break glass. Yanma's trademark attack seems to be SonicBoom, as seen in the anime and Pokédex.
In DP080, a rookie trainer named Taisei was about to capture a Yanma that his Piplup had weakened, when Team Rocket showed up, and Jessie captured it instead. They sent it to Giovanni; However, he deemed it too weak and returned it to them. When Jessie used Yanma in battle, it used AncientPower and evolved into a Yanmega. Another Yanma appeared afterwards, and Taisei captured that one.
Yanma is capable of seeing 360 degrees without having to move its eyes. It is a great flier that is adept at making sudden stops and turning midair. This Pokémon uses its flying ability to quickly chase down targeted prey.

Even though Yanma is said to generate shock waves from its wings, it cannot learn Shock Wave. This is probably because the attack Shock Wave is an electrical shock, while the shock waves that Yanma generates are similar to SonicBoom.
