[[File:James Yamask commanding Litwick.png|thumb|left|250px|Yamask commanding the Litwick]] | |||
In the scripts released for the original {{OBP|BW023|unaired}} and {{OBP|BW024|unaired}}, it was revealed that Yamask was intended to debut in those episodes, secretly observing Team Rocket as they obtained the [[Meteonite]] in the [[Relic Castle]] and later following them to [[Castelia City]]. | |||
It physically appeared before {{TRT}} in a warehouse in ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]''. {{MTR}} suggested that they capture him to increase their strength. [[Jessie]] agreed and called out her {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} to battle him, but James claimed he was hungry and he proceeded to feed him. Once he was full, he happily went into James's {{i|Poké Ball}}, the trio welcoming their newest addition with enthusiasm. | |||
==Personality== | In ''[[BW026|Scare at the Litwick Mansion!]]'', Yamask befriended a group of {{p|Litwick}} in a mansion that Team Rocket was temporarily using as a base. However, he was kidnapped by the Candle Pokémon in an apparent attempt to lure James, Jessie, and Meowth into a trap. Yamask teamed up with Jessie's Woobat, {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble}} to defeat the Litwick and their {{p|Lampent}} leader. | ||
Like many of James's Pokémon before | |||
Yamask had its first battle against {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in ''[[BW027|The Dragon Master's Path!]]'', where it joined forces with Woobat to capture [[Iris's Axew]] and [[Emmy]]'s {{p|Druddigon}}. The two dragons later escaped, and Yamask and Woobat follow in hot pursuit. The two managed to overpower Axew and Druddigon at first, but Yamask ended up fainting when Druddigon learned {{m|Draco Meteor}}. | |||
Yamask was used in ''[[BW075|A Restoration Confrontation! Part 1]]'' to capture a {{p|Tirtouga}} that [[Dr. Zager]] had just resurrected, however it escaped after blowing a hole in the helicopter with {{m|Ancient Power}}. In [[BW076|the next episode]], Yamask ambushed [[Ferris]] and the group with {{m|Night Shade}} and battled to capture the Prototurtle Pokémon alongside Woobat. After Tirtouga evolved into {{p|Carracosta}} and fled the scene, Yamask used his {{m|Haze}} to stop {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} from following {{TRT}}. Yamask later battled Pikachu and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, revealing his {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} attack, as they tried to rescue the captured Carracosta before the time gate at [[Twist Mountain]]. | |||
[[File:Jessie Woobat James Yamask ambush.png|250px|thumb|Yasmask and Woobat ambushing Ash in order to steal Meloetta]] | |||
Sometime before ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'', Yamask helped Team Rocket kidnap {{an|Meloetta}}, who was living in hiding, by distracting Meloetta's protector, [[Ridley]], with his Haze attack. In ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]'', Yamask helped uncover Meloetta while Team Rocket were pursuing it. Later in ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'' he surrounded Ash and the others with Will-O-Wisp and then revealed Meloetta from its invisible state. Yamask continued to battle {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and Pansage while {{an|Giovanni}} pursued Ash who had then fled with Meloetta. Then in the [[BW097|next episode]] Yamask and Woobat used their combined attacks to launch Ash of the top of the ancient temple to prevent him from interfering with Operation Tempest. When Team Rocket were finally defeated, Yamask allowed them to retreat by concealing them all with Haze. After Operation Tempest failed, Yamask joined James in retreating to [[Kanto]]. | |||
When James returned to Unova in ''[[BW109|New Places...Familiar Faces!]]'', he brought Yamask with him, as revealed in ''[[BW115|The Pokémon Harbor Patrol!]]'', where he used Will-O-Wisp against Ash's Oshawott during an attempt to steal Pikachu. | |||
Yamask also helped to fight off [[Team Plasma]]'s controlled Pokémon in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''. | |||
===Decolore Islands=== | |||
Yamask appeared in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where he attacked Ash, {{an|Professor Oak}}, and [[Alexa]] with Will-O-Wisp. Later in the episode, he was given away to Giovanni for Team Rocket's cause. | |||
===''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=== | |||
In ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]'', Yamask, alongside the rest of Team Rocket's Pokémon at {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}, were sent to Jessie and James so they could be added back to their team. Realizing the potential of such a large group, the team hatched a scheme to isolate Ash's Pikachu and capture him. Yamask and {{TP|Jessie|Frillish}} were the second to do so, distracting {{an|Misty}} and her Pokémon while Ash and Pikachu ran ahead. Upon getting a distress signal from {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}}, the two returned to their Trainers to take on Pikachu as a group. He joined all of Team Rocket to launch a combined attack at the Mouse Pokémon. However, it was dodged, and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} ended up sending it back with {{m|Mirror Coat}}. A wild {{an|Latias}} that had been following Ash then intervened and sent the evil group blasting off. | |||
==Personality and characteristics== | |||
[[File:James and Yamask.png|thumb|left|250px|Yamask and James]] | |||
[[File:James Yamask shield.png|thumb|250px|Yamask using his mask as a shield]] | |||
Like many of James's Pokémon before him, Yamask is very friendly and is shown to have a great relationship with his Trainer. He is a very thankful Pokémon, as shown when he let James catch him after he was given some food. Unlike several of James's other Pokémon, such as {{TP|James|Victreebel}}, {{TP|James|Cacnea}}, and {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, Yamask doesn't show any kind of special affection to James when coming out of his Poké Ball. | |||
As seen in ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', he can use his mask to deflect attacks, and can even throw it onto an opponent as a means to distract or blind them, as shown in ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]''. He can also, like [[Jessie's Seviper]] before him, use {{m|Haze}} to shroud Team Rocket in a dark cloud of smoke to allow for a quick escape. | |||

| colspan="3" style="text-align:left" |'''Description:''' A combination move used by Jessie and James's Pokémon. Woobat launches Air Slash, Frillish, Gourgeist, and Yamask launch Shadow Ball, Amoonguss and Carnivine launch Energy Ball, Yanmega launches Silver Wind, Inkay launches Psybeam, and Seviper launches Sludge Bomb. The attacks fuse together to create a single massive beam of energy. This was used against {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Infernape}}, and {{AP|Hawlucha}} in Team Rocket's attempt to steal Pikachu, but once they dodged, the attack headed towards Team Rocket. | |||

* Yamask is the first {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to be officially owned by a main character. | |||

However, since Carnivine was actually obtained when James was still a child, it was more accurately his first capture in [[AG147|259 episodes]], with the capture of {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} | ||
* | * Yamask is the only Pokémon caught by {{TRT}} in Unova whose capture was on-screen. | ||
