Darumaka (Japanese: ダルマッカ Darumakka) is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves into Darmanitan starting at level 35.

In Galar, Darumaka has an Ice-type regional form. It evolves into Galarian Darmanitan when exposed to an Ice Stone.

Biology

Darumaka asleep

Darumaka is a round, red Pokémon with an orange face and yellow curly eyebrows. It has three yellow ovals on its abdomen and a curvy yellow line on its back. Its paws are orange and have three digits each. It has very warm droppings, which ancient people put in their clothes to keep themselves warm.

When the flame inside its body burns, Darumaka is very active. It cannot calm down in this state, and thus becomes uncontrollable. As the flame shrinks, it falls asleep. It can tuck in its arms and legs when it rests; during that time, it slightly sways. While it is sleeping, it cannot be tipped over no matter how much it is pushed or pulled, like a tumbler doll, which it resembles in this state. It prefers to live in a desert environment.

Galarian Darumaka has a thicker coat than normal Darumaka, several turquoise ice crystals as its eyebrows and on its chest, and has blue hands and face with white snowy fur. Unlike its normal form, Galarian Darumaka has a timid frown instead of a mischievous smile.

Seismic shift in the Galar region long ago caused the warm climate to cool, and Darumaka in this region have adapted to this cooling. The fire that burned within their bodies went out, leaving an organ that produces cold air instead. The colder Darumaka gets, the more energetic it becomes. They can focus their internal energy to breathe out cold air in the form of snow, which they use to make snowballs for ammo in playful snowball fights with each other.^[1] Galarian Darumaka enjoys eating Berries produced by Snover. This leads it to prey on Snover often being driven off by Abomasnow.

Trivia

• Darumaka has the lowest Special Attack base stat of all Fire-type Pokémon.

Origin

Darumaka seems to be based on a Daruma doll. When it is resting, it resembles the type of Daruma doll that does not tip over. Its Fire type may be based upon the traditional Daruma burning ceremony.

Galarian Darumaka seems to be based on a mixture of a snowman, called 雪だるま yuki-daruma in Japanese (thus explaining its Ice typing), and a monkey.

Name origin

Darumaka and Darumakka seem to be a combination of Daruma and 真赤 makka (crimson) or a corruption of macaque.
