Megayanma (メガヤンマ, Megayanma^?) is one of the 493 fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar^[1] Pokémon media franchise – a collection of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards and other media, created by Satoshi Tajiri. Megayanma is famous for being the evolved form of Yanma, a Pokémon from a previous generation and for appearing in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. The purpose of Megayanma in the games, anime and manga, as with all other Pokémon, is to battle both wild Pokémon, untamed creatures encountered while the player passes through various environments, and tamed Pokémon owned by Pokémon trainers.^[2]

[edit] Appearance

Megayanma resembles a dragonfly, but a more vicious one than Yanma. It looks very much like Yanma, with the main difference being the color. Megayanma is based on the Meganeura, an ancient dragonfly that grew to huge proportions.

[edit] In the video games

Megayanma evolves from Yanma by leveling up while it knows Ancientpower. According to the Pokédex, ultrasonic waves coming from Megayanma's wings can cause lethal damage to a foe's internal organs. This is possibly a reference to the Godzilla foe Megaguirus, which is also based on the Meganeura and has sonic wing attacks. Yanma retains the ability Speed Boost when evolving; the ability Compoundeyes on Yanma corresponds to Megayanma's Colorglasses ability.
