Physical Characteristics:
- Yamask appears as a small, shadowy figure with a mask that resembles a human face.
- It has red eyes and a thin, wisp-like tail.
- The mask it carries is said to be the face it had when it was human, and it constantly looks at it, lamenting its lost life.
Behavior and Habitat:

- It is a solitary Pokémon, typically avoiding bustling, populated areas.
- Known for being melancholic, Yamask is said to wander the places it inhabited in life, looking at its face and weeping.
In Battle:

- Notable moves include Shadow Ball, Will-O-Wisp, and Hex, which capitalize on its Ghost typing.
- It is strong against Psychic and Ghost types but vulnerable to Dark types.
- Yamask serves as a disruptive force in battles, using status moves and abilities to hinder opponents.
Evolution:

- Galarian Yamask evolves into Runerigus when it takes 49 or more damage in a single attack and the player travels under the stone bridge in Dusty Bowl.
Interesting Facts:

- The mask it carries is said to give insight into its previous human life.
- Galarian Yamask, introduced in Pokémon Sword and Shield, has a unique evolution method and lore tied to ancient runes rather than Egyptian mythology.
