YamaskParadox Rift #75 Pokémon Card

Yamask is a Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V, first appearing in the Unova region. Known as the Spirit Pokémon, its most distinctive feature is the golden mask it carries, which is said to be the face it had when it was human. This poignant detail is central to its lore; Yamask is believed to be the spirit of a person who lived in ancient times, and it often gazes at its mask, sometimes shedding tears as it remembers its past life. These memories are often sorrowful, reflecting its tragic origins. Yamask is frequently found in ruins, tombs, and ancient burial grounds, wandering aimlessly as it searches for someone who recognizes the face on its mask. Its diet, if it has one in the traditional sense, is not explicitly detailed, but as a Ghost-type, it is often depicted as subsisting on emotions or spiritual energy. In the games, it evolves into Cofagrigus at level 34. Its type matchups mean it is strong against Psychic and Ghost types but vulnerable to Dark and Ghost attacks, and immune to Normal and Fighting moves. In the anime, Yamask has made appearances that highlight its mournful nature and its unique ability to manipulate its mask. Culturally, Yamask serves as a reminder of the transient nature of life and the lingering presence of spirits, often evoking themes of memory and loss within the Pokémon world.
