Yanmega's Flying and Bug-typing means that most of its powerful moves are also Bug and Flying-type as they benefit from S.T.A.B. (Same Type Attack Bonus). This means that Pokémon using moves that match their typing will do increased damage in battle with those moves. Yanmgea's best moves are Bug Buzz, Crunch, Air Slash, and Ancient Power.
