CufantSword & Shield #136 Pokémon Card

Cufant is a Steel-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII, native to the Galar region. Known as the Copperderm Pokémon, Cufant resembles a baby elephant with a distinctive copper-colored body that tarnishes to a vibrant green when exposed to rain. This unique characteristic is tied to its natural habitat, which often includes damp, rainy environments. Cufant are known for their immense strength, even at a young age, and are often employed in construction work due to their ability to carry heavy loads. They evolve into Copperajah, a much larger and even more powerful Steel-type Pokémon, at level 34. In the games, Cufant and Copperajah are often found in mining areas or industrial zones, reflecting their connection to heavy labor and materials. Their Steel typing gives them a strong defensive presence, resistant to many common attack types, though they are vulnerable to Fire, Fighting, and Ground attacks. In the anime, Cufant are sometimes depicted assisting humans with various tasks, highlighting their diligent and helpful nature. Their design, inspired by Indian elephants, also gives them a unique cultural appeal, blending real-world animals with the fantastical elements of the Pokémon world.
