I tried Yanmega as a Donphan counter. I feel like it's sub par as such.
First in order to use Yanmega well you have to tweak other parts of your deck as well, adding additional cards like Copycat, Judge, and such. Those aren't horrible cards by any means, but they aren't going to be the best play in everything.
Similarly I think that folks underestimate how easy it is for Donphan to either get 3 energy in play or to pull out Ruin of Alph to get rid of resistance. Either of those things totally kills the Donphan vs Yanmega math.
