Donphan
Main Pokédex page | Flavor text and images
Flavor Text
It has sharp, hard tusks and a rugged hide. Its tackle is strong enough to knock down a house.
The longer and bigger its tusks, the higher its rank in its herd. The tusks take long to grow.
Because this Pokémon's skin is so tough, a normal attack won't even leave a scratch on it.
Donphan's favorite attack is curling its body into a ball, then charging at its foe while rolling at high speed. Once it starts rolling, this Pokémon can't stop very easily.
If Donphan were to tackle with its hard body, even a house could be destroyed. Using its massive strength, the Pokémon helps clear rock and mud slides that block mountain trails.
A Donphan is so strong it can easily haul a dump truck. Its hide has toughened to a rock-hard state. An ordinary sort of attack won't even leave a scratch.
It attacks by curling up, then rolling into its foe. It can blow apart a house in one hit.
