James's Yamask (Japanese: コジロウのデスマス Kojirō's Desumasu) is the first Pokémon that James caught in the Unova region.
History
Yamask appeared before Team Rocket in a warehouse in Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!. Meowth suggested that they capture it to increase their strength. Jessie agreed and called out her Woobat to battle it, but James claimed it was hungry and he proceeded to feed it. Once it was full, it happily went into James's Poké Ball, causing the trio to cheer.
In Scare at the Litwick Mansion!, Yamask befriended a group of Litwick in a mansion that Team Rocket was temporarily using as a base. However, it was kidnapped by the Candle Pokémon in an apparent attempt to lure James, Jessie and Meowth into a trap. Yamask teamed up with Jessie's Woobat, Ash's Oshawott, Ash's Pikachu, and Cilan's Dwebble to defeat the Litwick and their Lampent leader.
Yamask battled Ash and his friends almost every time Team Rocket encountered them from then onwards. In BW027, Yamask was used to battle Amy's Druddigon and Iris's Axew, and despite using a powerful Night Shade attack, it was defeated by Druddigon's Draco Meteor. Yamask was used again in BW034, it was used to battle Ash and friends alongside Jessie's Woobat. They were defeated by Ash's Tepig's Ember, Pikachu's Electro Ball and the Roggenrola's Flash Cannon.
Personality and characteristics
Like many of James's Pokémon before it, Yamask is very friendly and is shown to already have a great relationship with its Trainer. It is a very thankful Pokémon as shown when it willingly entered James's Poké Ball after it was given a little food. Also, unlike most of James's other Pokémon, such as his Victreebel, Cacnea and Carnivine, Yamask doesn't show any kind of special affection to him when coming out of its Poké Ball.
As seen in BW037, it can use its mask to deflect attacks similar to how Ash's Oshawott uses his scalchop. It can also, like Jessie's Seviper, use Haze to shroud Team Rocket in a dark cloud of smoke to allow for a quick getaway.
