Yanmega

CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Yanmega accelerates in flight until it reaches prey and bites it with its powerful mandibles. Its six legs can also carry a heavy load. The wings at the end of its tail act as a counterbalance during these manoeuvres, keeping its body stable despite the weight carried. The Pokédex emphasises this combination of speed, grip and balance. Its mastery of the air relies on its whole body, rather than merely on large wings.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Y describes Yanmega flying while carrying an adult in its six legs. The same entry gives its tail wings a balancing role. This discreet appendage explains how it remains stable while its limbs are already carrying a load.
