What is a good competitive moveset for Yanma? These builds have been optimized for Pokemon competing in Gold/Silver Single Battles. The movesets and EVs have been specifically calibrated to deal the most amount of damage to the largest group of potentially common opponents and typing threats for the Gold/Silver generation metagame.
Yanma is an outstanding Bug and Flying-typed Pokemon. Yanma are common Pokemon to see in the GS metagame. This Pokemon deserves to see more play in the meta. There were no known abilities back in the Gold/Silver Pokemon games. Yanma is weak to Electric, Fire, Flying, Ice, and Rock-typed attacks.
Yanma is a phenomenal Physical Sweeper. It's primary goal is to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Don't forget back before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness). ♦ Headbutt is a physical 70-base power Normal-type move (30% chance to flinch the target). ♦ Wing Attack is a physical STAB-boosted 60-base power Flying-type move that deals damage. ♦ Steel Wing is a physical 70-base power Steel-type move (10% chance to raise your Yanma's defense by 1 stage). ♦ Leech Life is a physical STAB-boosted 20-base power Bug-type move (Yanma recovers 50% of the damage dealt).

Note: The damage listed here under Versus is not actually calculated using the in-game damage formula. It is simply calculated using typing weaknesses and resistances from the selected type-matchup modifier along with STAB (if applied) to help sort through and give a general idea as to how powerful certain moves might be towards that selected typing after modifiers are applied. Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
