DonphanHeartgold Soulsilver #107 Pokémon Card

Donphan, the Armor Pokémon, is a Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II, making its debut in the Johto region. It is the evolved form of Phanpy, typically evolving at level 25. Donphan's impressive defense and attack stats are reflected in its robust, armored appearance, which resembles a large, gray elephant with thick, segmented hide and tusks. Its natural habitat includes mountainous and rocky terrains, where it can be seen rolling around like a tire, an iconic behavior used for both transportation and attack. Donphan is known for its incredible strength and is capable of flattening houses with a single charge. In the anime, Donphan has been a prominent Pokémon, notably as part of Ash Ketchum's team in several seasons, showcasing its power and loyalty. Its Ground typing gives it a strong advantage against Electric, Fire, Poison, Rock, and Steel types, while making it vulnerable to Water, Grass, and Ice attacks. Donphan's design and abilities embody the raw power and resilience often associated with Ground-type Pokémon, solidifying its place as a memorable and formidable creature in the Pokémon universe.
