DonphanLost Thunder #112 Pokémon Card

Donphan, the Armor Pokémon, is a Ground-type introduced in Generation II. It evolves from Phanpy starting at level 25. Known for its powerful rolling technique, Donphan is often depicted as a strong and loyal creature, capable of charging through obstacles with its tough hide and formidable tusks. Its natural habitat is typically mountainous regions and rocky terrains, where its sturdy build and rolling attacks are highly effective for traversing difficult landscapes and defending itself. Donphan is known to travel in herds, with the size and length of an individual's tusks often indicating its rank within the group. In the games, Donphan is a reliable physical attacker with good defense, making it a valuable asset in many teams. In the anime, Ash's Donphan, which evolved from his Phanpy, showcased its strength and speed in battles, further cementing its image as a powerful and enduring Pokémon. Its design, inspired by elephants and tires, gives it a distinct and memorable appearance, contributing to its cultural significance as one of the iconic Pokémon from the Johto region.
