YamaskLost Thunder #99 Pokémon Card

Yamask is a Ghost-type Pokémon first introduced in Generation V with the release of Pokémon Black and White. This spectral Pokémon is famously known for carrying a golden mask, which is said to have been its face when it was a human. This tragic backstory is a core part of its identity, often depicting Yamask looking at the mask and crying, reflecting its profound sadness over its past life. Yamask evolves into Cofagrigus, another Ghost-type Pokémon known for its sarcophagus-like appearance and ability to trap and mummify those who draw near. In the games, Yamask is often found in ancient ruins or tombs, fitting its theme of historical sorrow and spectral presence. Its pure Ghost typing gives it weaknesses to Ghost and Dark-type moves, while being resistant to Poison and Bug, and completely immune to Normal and Fighting-type attacks. In the anime, Yamask has appeared in various episodes, often showcasing its shy and melancholic personality, and reinforcing its unique lore among Pokémon. Its design, inspired by ancient Egyptian funerary masks, gives it a distinct cultural significance, blending historical aesthetics with its ghostly nature.
