Evolving Yanma into Yanmega can be tricky. There is a hidden trigger for the evolution through learning a specific move, meaning it can easily be missed if you don’t know what to look out for. To evolve Yanma, you’ll need to level it until it reaches level 34. At this level, Yanma will have a chance to learn Ancient Power, which you’ll need to accept and replace one of your four moves with.

After learning Ancient Power, Yanma’s evolution conditions will be triggered and it will automatically evolve into Yanmega. All you’ll have to do is wait a few seconds while the animation takes place, and then you’ll have a new and improved bug to add to your collection or team.
