Talk:Donphan (Pokémon)

Strategy

Having an amazing 150 physical bulk, alongside the equally powerful 150 Attack and decent 100 Speed, makes Mega Donphan a formidable opponent. The ability "Irrelephant" makes Donphan ignore immunities, which allows its Earthquakes to hit threats like Talonflame or Skarmory for super effective damage. It's also an amazing pun. With this, only Bug- and Grass-types resist Mega Donphan's STAB Ground-type moves, allowing it to free up its movepool for other coverage or utility moves. Unfortunately, Mega Donphan is cursed with weaknesses to two common types which are Water and Ice. Combined with its mediocre special bulk and lack of recovery, this makes it somewhat easy to revenge kill.
