How to evolve Yamask and Galarian Yamask

Yamask, the Spirit Pokémon, is a Ghost-type creature known for its frightening mask that resembles a human skull in Pokemon GO. Its regular form, found in the Unova region, is a melancholic creature carrying remnants of its past life within its mask. It evolves into the majestic Cofagrigus, embodying the grandeur and solemnity of a tomb. However, in the Galar region, Yamask takes on a unique form, becoming Galarian Yamask.

This Ground/Ghost-type Pokémon retains its skull-like mask, but features a rune embedded in its tail, symbolizing its connection to the region’s ancient history. Unlike its Unova counterpart, Galarian Yamask evolves into Runerigus, a formidable Earth/Ghost type that embodies both ancient power and the spirit of those lost in the past. It’s as if they were two sides of the same coin, one being more about death and the other about life.
