Question

Mine has the ability Speed Boost. It knows:

Bug Buzz: Good power, high accuracy, STAB, chance to lower Sp. Def.

Air Slash: Decent power, decent accuracy, STAB, good chance to cause flinching which works great with Speed Boost.

Protect: Lets Yanmega get a speed boost.

Hypnosis: Puts the foe to Sleep. When and if they wake up (Yanmega could easily KO them) they'll wake up to a very fast Yanmega.

Answer 1

Yanmega is fast enough with out the protect, its kind of just a waste of a moveslot. Instead, I would put Giga Drain there, so I have a good move against my worst wekness. Heres What I would Go with.

Special Sweeper: Bug Buzz,(same reason as you), Air Slash(same reason as you), Giga Drain(coverage), and Psychic/Shadow Ball(hypnosis just isnt accurate enough to be able to trust it and these are good coverage moves with more chances to lower the opponets sp defense).

Hope This Helps!:)

Yanmega (M) @ Choice Specs

Trait: Tinted Lens
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Air Slash
- Bug Buzz
- Giga Drain
- Hidden Power [Ground]
This guy hits everything hard with Bug Buzz and Air Slash. Who needs Speed Boost, just get rid of everything that outspeeds you and sweep from there. Even if they send in a Pokemon to resist your move you are locked into you will still 2HKO 99.9% of the time. Giga Drain and HP Ground is coverage.

(Thanks Mew for the item and the idea for HP Ground and the 4 Def thingy :P)

Where's my creds?

---

And 4 Def > 4 HP to stop SR from killing you in 2 switchins.

---

:O i never thought of that

Answer 3

Speed Boost
?Leftovers?
Timid nature (-Att +Spe)
EVs: 128 Def, 128 HP, 128 SAtt, 124 SDef

Bug Buzz - STAB, strong, accurate, may lower SDef
Air Slash - STAB, strong, quite accurate
AncientPower - coverage, may boost everything
Giga Drain - coverage, accurate, recovery

Comments

But Protect is needed for a free speed boost

---

Yanmega has cool speed anyway. Speed Boost is only insurance of sweeping

---

It's 95,which isn't that fast,so you need a free speed boost so you can out-run your opponents

---

95 is quite good - although many ubers are really fast

Answer 6

Here is a Moveset I recommend for Yanmega:

Yanmega@ Choice Specs

Trait: Speed Boost

EVs: 32 Defense, 252 Sp. Attack, 224 Speed

Modest Nature:(-Attack +Sp. Attack)

• Bug Buzz
• Air Slash
• Giga Drain
• Ominous Wind

This Moveset uses Yanmega as a head-on Sweeper. The first Two are chosen STAB since they are the most powerful. Giga Drain covers its 4x weakness to Rock Types so it can get a recovery as well. Ominous Wind is chosen coverage since it's still weak to Flying Types. Note, Rapid Spin support is needed for it to fully function.

Give it Shadow Ball over Ominous Wind, and HP Rock over Shadow ball.

Answer 7

This moveset has got me out of a few tough situations:

Speed Boost
Zoom Lens

Bug Buzz
Air Slash
Hypnosis
Dream Eater

The Dream Eater will help heal, and again, the Pokemon will wake up to a very fast Yanmega, if they ever do!

Comments

Zoom Lens only works if you are SLOWER... try scope lens

Answer 8

Yanmega w/Speed Boost
Holding - Focus Sash
Nature - Modest
Effort Values - 252 S.Att 252 Speed & 4 HP
1)Bug Buzz(S.T.A.B.)
2)Shadow Ball(Coverage)
3)Hidden Power Fighting(Coverage)
4)Protect

Notes: Use protect on the 1st turn to outspeed most everything and to negate "Fake Out".
Ghost/Fighting is full coverage in only 2 attacks along with Bug Buzz this allows you to have an effective movepool.
