A clay slab with cursed engravings took possession of a Yamask. The slab is said to be absorbing the Yamask’s dark power.

Yamask Weakness

Type-wise, Yamask takes extra damage from Ghost and Dark. Normal and Fighting moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity.

Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Yamask Best Moveset

The Sash lets Yamask ignore defensive shortcomings for one turn. Use that turn to deal early damage, and Mummy squeezes extra value from the position. Max Sp. Atk without Speed EVs push damage output.

Moves

The egg pool carries weight here. Ally Switch and Crafty Shield aren't available any other way for Yamask, and they meaningfully change what it threatens. Stack those on top of Shadow Ball and Hex for solid options.
