James's Yamask (Japanese: コジロウのデスマス Kojirō's Desumasu) is the first Pokémon that James caught in the Unova region.

History

Yamask appeared before Team Rocket in a warehouse where James proceeded to feed it. Once it was full, it happily went into James's Poké Ball.

In BW029, Yamask befriends a group of Litwick in a mansion that Team Rocket was using as a base. However, it was kidnapped by the Candle Pokémon in an apparent attempt to lure James and Jessie into a trap. Yamask teams up with Jessie's Woobat, Ash's Oshawott, Ash's Pikachu, and Cilan's Dwebble to defeat the Litwick and their Lampent leader.
