In [[Galar]], Yamask has a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Ghost}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into {{p|Runerigus}} when the player travels under the large rock arch in [[Dusty Bowl]] after Yamask takes at least 49 [[HP]] in [[damage]] from attacks without [[fainting]].
 
(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]] for more details.)

===Physiology===
[[File:Yamask mask.png|thumb|left|250px|The mask of a Yamask]]
Desumasu is a shadow-like Pokémon holding a simply designed stone face which was from its time as a [[human]], one rather similar to that of the one in the forehead of Desukaan. It has two shadowy, tendril-like arms and large, red eyes.
Yamask is a shadow-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} holding a golden mask that has a face from its time as a [[human]]. It has two shadowy, tendril-like arms and large, red eyes. It also has a small tail-like appendage that holds the mask. Yamask is capable of speech when possessing a human, but not in its regular form.


====Gender differences====
Due to being a human long ago, Yamask retains its memories from before it became a Pokémon. It becomes furious when the mask is lost or taken away. If someone wears the mask Yamask carries, they will become possessed by the Yamask in question. Sometimes, it looks at this mask and cries, apparently in longing. Yamask is known to wander the ruins of ancient civilizations. Yamask and its evolution, {{p|Cofagrigus}}, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Mummy}} as an [[Ability]].
None.


===Special abilities===

Yamask has a [[regional form]]: Galarian Yamask.


===Behavior===
Galarian Yamask, in contrast to its Unova variant, has purple eyes and has an ancient clay tablet directly attached around its tail. Galarian Yamask is said to have been born when that tablet was drawn to a vengeful spirit. The tablet bears cursed engravings that resemble a serpent's tail and is said to absorb Yamask's dark power. This process, brought by an ancient curse, triggers Galarian Yamask's evolution into {{p|Runerigus}}. Galarian Yamask and its evolution, Runerigus, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Wandering Spirit}} as an Ability.


===Habitat===

<div style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; justify-content: space-evenly">
===Major appearances===
Desumasu made an appearance in [[BW014]], where it was causing havoc in the [[Shippou City]] Museum, because Desumasu had been taken with the exhibit without it knowing. Then when sleeping it accidently dropped its mask. [[Kidachi]] found it and put it behind glass and Desuamsu tried to get it back. In the end [[Aloe]] along with {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Dent}} and Kidachi released Desumasu into the world.

{{rf|Galarian}} Yamask evolves into {{p|Runerigus}} when the player travels under the large rock arch in [[Dusty Bowl]] after Yamask takes at least 49 [[HP]] in [[damage]] from attacks without [[fainting]]. Healing does not reset the counter, and damage can be taken across multiple battles. Taking damage from certain sources, such as self-inflicted {{m|Curse}} damage or [[weather]] effects, does not contribute to the 49 HP damage requirement.

===Major appearances===
====[[James's Yamask]]====
In ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'', [[James]] was able to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a male Yamask that appeared before {{TRT}}. At the end of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', James had to give Yamask to {{an|Giovanni}} as a sign that they accomplished something in [[Unova]]. Yamask returned to James's party in ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]''.
 
====Other====
Yamask debuted in ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', where it was causing havoc in the [[Nacrene City]] Museum. This eventually turned out to be because Yamask's mask had been put on display after it accidentally dropped it while sleeping. In the end, [[Lenora]], along with {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and [[Hawes]], gained an understanding with it and gave its mask back. Yamask then left the museum peacefully.
Additionally it is stated that this Yamask is millennia old.
 
===Minor appearances===
In ''[[JN014|Raid Battle in The Ruins!]]'', a Yamask was living at the [[Colossus Ruins]] at the [[Desert Resort]].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Desumasu's base {{stat|Speed}} is the same as its {{p|Desukaan|evolution}}.
<!--Please do not mention that Galarian Yamask needs to be level 15 to evolve into Runerigus. It can evolve at any level. Proof: https://twitter.com/Unowninator/status/1217891685243346944?s=2 -->
* Desumasu and its evolution are the only pure {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation V]].
* {{rf|Galarian}} Yamask's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats are the reverse of a Unovan Yamask's.
<!--* As of [[Generation V]], Desumasu and its {{p|Desukaan|evolution}}'s  [[egg group]] ({{egg|Mineral}} and {{egg|Indeterminate}}) are unique.-->
* Unovan Yamask, along with {{p|Litwick}} and {{p|Gimmighoul}}, has the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* Although Desumasu is able to learn {{m|Nightmare}} through breeding and {{m|Dream Eater}} through a TM, it does not learn any sleep-inducing moves.
* Galarian Yamask, along with {{p|Shedinja}}, {{p|Duskull}}, and {{p|Greavard}}, has the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
* Galarian Yamask's evolution into {{p|Runerigus}} is the only location-based evolution in {{g|Sword and Shield|s}}, as all other Pokémon with location-based evolutions are either unobtainable or use an [[Evolution stone]] to evolve instead.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Desumasu is based on an Egyptian {{wp|Egyptian soul|Ba}} holding a {{wp|death mask}}.
Yamask may be based on an Egyptian {{wp|Ancient Egyptian conception of the soul#Ba (personality)|ba}}, a person's soul, typically depicted as a bird with a human head, or {{wp|Ancient Egyptian conception of the soul#Shut (shadow)|šwt}}, the shadow or silhouette of a person's soul — both appearing after the person's death. Its overall body shape is similar to the {{wp|Eye of Horus}}. The mask on its tail is likely a {{wp|death mask}}.
 
Galarian Yamask holds a clay tablet that may be based on {{wp|runestone}}s instead. It may also be based on a {{wp|Deildegast}}, a Norwegian folklore spirit that is forced to haul around a boundary stone as punishment for moving one while it was alive. The fact that Galarian Yamask evolves into Runerigus after taking at least 49 HP in damage could be a very subtle reference to the {{wp|Bardo|antarābhava}}, a Buddhist concept of Purgatory after death and before reincarnation; this process of Buddhist Purgatory is said to last 49 days.
 
====Name origin====
====Name origin====
The name Desumasu is from デス, death, and マスク, mask.
Yamask may be a combination of 闇 ''yami'' (darkness), や ''ya'' (bad), or ''{{wp|Yama}}'' (lord of the dead in Hindu and Buddhist mythology), and ''mask''.
 
Desumasu may be a combination of ''death'' and ''mask''. It may be a pun off of ですます体 ''desumasu-tai'', a form of polite Japanese which gets its name from the fact that sentences often end in です ''desu'' or ます ''masu''.
