Donphan LV61 GROUND

Your guide to catching and battling with Donphan (LV61, Ground-type) in Pokémon Colosseum. Learn its strengths, weaknesses, and best strategies to use against it.

Donphan (LV61, Ground)

Alright, let's talk about Donphan. You'll encounter this hefty Ground-type Pokémon at Level 61. Ground-types are pretty straightforward: they're strong against Electric, Fire, Poison, Rock, and Steel types, but they struggle against Water and Grass types. Keep that in mind when you're planning your battles!

Donphan's signature move is often something like Earthquake, which hits hard and can affect multiple Pokémon on the field. Because it's a Ground-type, it's immune to Electric attacks, so don't even bother trying those.

When to Use Donphan

Donphan is a fantastic physical attacker. If you've snagged one, you'll want to pair it with Pokémon that can handle its weaknesses. Think Water or Grass types that can take a hit if Donphan needs to switch out. Its high Attack stat means it can really dish out damage, especially against opponents weak to Ground.

When Facing Donphan

If you're up against a Level 61 Donphan, remember those Water and Grass types we just talked about? They're your best bet. Pokémon like Vileplume or a strong Water-type like Suicune can really put a dent in Donphan's HP. Avoid using Electric, Bug, or Rock types, as they'll be at a significant disadvantage.

Watch out for its physical attacks. Donphan hits like a truck, so if your Pokémon isn't resistant or has high Defense, it could be knocked out in just a couple of hits. Try to exploit its weaknesses quickly before it can wear you down.
