Yamask is a mask-bearing ghost Pokémon that was introduced in the fifth generation games. Its evolved form is Cofagrigus.

Information

Yamask are formed from the spirits of people buried in graves past ages. Each one of them retains memories of their past lives, and they all carry masks which used to be their faces when they were humans. Yamask have been known to sometimes look at their masks and cry.

It evolves into Cofagrigus at Level 34.

Trivia

• Its name is a combination of "yami" (which is Japanese for "dark") or "yama" (the Lord of the Dead from Hindu and Buddhist mythology) with "mask".
