It is known for its peculiar and melancholic nature, always carrying a mask that is said to have been its face when it was human. This poignant backstory is central to its identity, emphasizing themes of loss and memory. Yamask evolves into Cofagrigus starting at level 34. In the Galar region, it has a regional variant, Galarian Yamask, which evolves into Runerigus. Yamask's natural habitat is often associated with ancient ruins, tombs, and other places where spirits linger, reflecting its spiritual essence. Its behavior is generally shy and reclusive, often seen staring at the mask it carries, sometimes even shedding tears, as if remembering its past life. As a Ghost-type, it is weak to other Ghost and Dark-type moves, resistant to Bug and Poison, and immune to Normal and Fighting-type moves. In the games, it often serves as an early-game Ghost-type option, while in the anime, its unique design and lore have made it a memorable, if not frequently featured, Pokémon. Its cultural significance lies in its exploration of themes of identity, memory, and the afterlife, making it a compelling creature within the Pokémon universe.
