Donphan (Japanese: ドンファン Donfan) is a Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves from Phanpy starting at level 25.

Donphan was officially revealed in the May 1997 issue of CoroCoro, along with Slowking and Ampharos.^[1]

It is said to be a relative of the Paradox Pokémon Great Tusk and Iron Treads^[2] or a version of them^[3] from a different timeline.

Biology

Donphan is a gray, proboscid Pokémon with a thick, black band of hide running down the length of its back and extending to the tip of its long trunk. When this Pokémon curls up, the band resembles a car tire. This tough hide prevents regular attacks from inflicting even a scratch. A pair of white tusks, which are smaller on the female, extend from the corners of its mouth. It has thin, elongated ears held out almost perpendicular to its body. Its four short legs are each encircled with a broken, black band and have three toes.

Donphan has the ability to curl up into a ball and violently roll around like a wheel. These rolling tackles are strong enough to knock down a house. While normally calm, Donphan can become enraged and start a rampage. Once it starts its rampage, it will be almost unstoppable. Donphan will chase after anyone who angers it. The anime shows that this ability is further used as a form of courtship. The male Donphan have rolling competitions to demonstrate their toughness to the females. A Donphan's tough hide is so strong, not even a car can scratch it. Despite this, the armor is extremely vulnerable to rain.

It has been demonstrated that Donphan has a keen sense of smell, capable of sniffing out a gem known as amberite (Agate in the Japanese version). Donphan travels in herds with a ranking system. The larger its tusks, the higher its rank in the herd. It lives in rough, mountainous terrain.

Both Great Tusk and Iron Treads share a resemblance to Donphan. Great Tusk is theorized to be Donphan's ancient ancestor from the dinosaur era, while Iron Treads is believed to be a descendant of Donphan or a scientific weapon sent to the Pokémon world by aliens.

Trivia

Donphan shares its category with Tyranitar. They are both known as the Armor Pokémon.
Donphan and Ursaring, along with their pre-evolved forms, are the only Pokémon to swap version-exclusive status between localizations. While Phanpy and Donphan are found only in the Japanese and Korean Gold, they are not found in Gold in other languages, being found in the Silver Version of those languages instead, with Teddiursa and Ursaring getting the opposite treatment. This is changed in the remakes HeartGold and SoulSilver, where they follow the Japanese and Korean Gold and Silver.
Donphan, Volcarona, and Cyclizar are the only Pokémon to have both a past and future Paradox counterpart.

Donphan seems to be based on an adult elephant, possibly the pygmy elephant or the extinct dwarf elephant due to its relatively small size (if compared to Copperajah). The ridges on its dark gray backside are similar to tire treads, causing it to resemble a spinning car tire when using its Rollout attack. Its armored body may be a reference to war elephants that were trained by humans for combat. Donphan's Ground type may come from the fact that elephants like to play in mud or that tyres always stick to the ground and are made out of rubber which is known as a great insulator fitting the Electric-type immunity.

Name origin

Donphan and Donfan may be a combination of don (Spanish for lord or master) or -don (common suffix in names of prehistoric animals derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth) and elephant.

-generation=2 |
-footnotes=}}
-'''Donphan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドンファン''' ''Donfan'') is a {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.
 It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Phanpy}} starting at [[level]] 25.
-==Biology==
+Donphan was officially revealed in the May 1997 issue of [[CoroCoro]], along with {{p|Slowking}} and {{p|Ampharos}}.<ref>https://www.zoidsland.com/1rebyu-/koro97-5b.html</ref>
-===Physiology===
-Donphan are light-gray elephant-like Pokémon. There is a thick, black band of hide that runs down the length of Donphan's back and extends to the trunk, resembling a car tire. Donphan have four short legs with three claws with each leg having a black band around them. They also sport a pair of white tusks, and elongated ears held stiffly to Donphan's sides.
-====Gender differences====
+It is said to be a relative of the [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Great Tusk}} and {{p|Iron Treads}}<ref>[[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"Through analysis of its genetic makeup, as well as its behavioral patterns...I came to realize that what I had discovered was in fact an ancient{{sup/9|S}}/futuristic{{sup/9|V}} form of {{p|Cyclizar}}, the Pokémon commonly ridden in this region."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}})</ref> or a version of them<ref>[[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"I am researching methods to catch Pokémon that live in different timelines, so I might transport them to the present day in my own timeline."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref> from a different timeline.
-A female Donphan has shorter tusks than a male.
-===Special abilities===
+==Biology==
-It has the ability to curl up into a ball and violently roll around like a wheel. Once it starts its rampage it will be almost unstoppable. These {{m|Rollout|rolling tackles}} are strong enough to knock down a house. Its hide is also very tough. Regular attacks won't leave a scratch on it.
+Donphan is a gray, {{wp|Proboscidea|proboscid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a thick, black band of hide running down the length of its back and extending to the tip of its long trunk. When this Pokémon curls up, the band resembles a car tire. This tough hide prevents regular attacks from inflicting even a scratch. A pair of white tusks, which are smaller on the female, extend from the corners of its mouth. It has thin, elongated ears held out almost perpendicular to its body. Its four short legs are each encircled with a broken, black band and have three toes.
-===Behavior===
+Donphan has the ability to curl up into a ball and violently roll around like a wheel. These rolling tackles are strong enough to knock down a house. While normally calm, Donphan can become enraged and start a rampage. Once it starts its rampage, it will be almost unstoppable. Donphan will chase after anyone who angers it. [[AG114|The anime]] shows that this ability is further used as a form of courtship. The male Donphan have rolling competitions to demonstrate their toughness to the females. A Donphan's tough hide is so strong, not even a car can scratch it. Despite this, the armor is extremely vulnerable to rain.
-Donphan travel in a herd that is led by a single Donphan. The larger the tusks, the higher its rank in the herd will be. They are also prone to going on violent rampages by curling into a ball and rolling almost nonstop. During their breeding season, male Donphan compete for mates by rolling as well to show how tough they are. This rolling is known as the Love Dance. Donphan are also known to have a keen sense of smell, at least in the sense of being able to detect amberite, and will upraise their trunks into the air to smell for it.
-===Habitat===
+It has [[EP120|been demonstrated]] that Donphan has a keen sense of smell, capable of sniffing out a gem known as amberite (Agate in the Japanese version). Donphan travels in herds with a ranking system. The larger its tusks, the higher its rank in the herd. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough}}, mountainous terrain.
-These Pokémon seem to prefer rough, mountainous terrain.
-[[File:Rough-terrain Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
+Both {{p|Great Tusk}} and {{p|Iron Treads}} share a resemblance to Donphan. Great Tusk is theorized to be Donphan's ancient ancestor from the dinosaur era, while Iron Treads is believed to be a descendant of Donphan or a scientific weapon sent to the [[Pokémon world]] by aliens.
-===Diet===
+===Evolution===
-{{main|Pokémon food}}
+Donphan evolves from {{p|Phanpy}}.
-It is herbivorous, depicted to feed on shrubs.

 ==Trivia==
-* Donphan shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Tyranitar}}. They are both known as the Armor Pokémon.
+* Donphan shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Tyranitar}}. They are both known as the Armor Pokémon.
-* Donphan and {{p|Ursaring}}, along with their pre-evolutions, are the only Pokémon to swap version-exclusive status between localizations. While Phanpy and Donphan are found only in the Japanese Gold, they are not found in Gold in other languages, being found in the Silver Version of those languages instead, with Teddiursa and Ursaring getting the opposite treatment. This is corrected in the remakes {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, where they follow the Japanese Gold and Silver.
+* Donphan and {{p|Ursaring}}, along with their pre-evolved forms, are the only Pokémon to swap version-exclusive status between localizations. While Phanpy and Donphan are found only in the Japanese and Korean Gold, they are not found in Gold in other languages, being found in the Silver Version of those languages instead, with Teddiursa and Ursaring getting the opposite treatment. This is changed in the remakes {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, where they follow the Japanese and Korean Gold and Silver.
+* Donphan, {{p|Volcarona}}, and {{p|Cyclizar}} are the only Pokémon to have both a past and future [[Paradox Pokémon|Paradox]] counterpart.
 ===Origin===
-It appears to have been based on an adult {{wp|elephant}}, although it resembles the tire of an automobile when curled up or using its trademark {{m|Rollout}} attack.  As both Phanpy and Donphan are much smaller compared to humans than conventional African or Asian elephants, they may have actually been inspired by the {{wp|Dwarf elephant}} or {{wp|Pygmy elephant}}.
+Donphan seems to be based on an adult {{wp|elephant}}, possibly the {{wp|pygmy elephant}} or the extinct {{wp|dwarf elephant}} due to its relatively small size (if compared to [[Copperajah (Pokémon)|Copperajah]]). The ridges on its dark gray backside are similar to {{wp|tire tread}}s, causing it to resemble a spinning car {{wp|tire}} when using its {{m|Rollout}} attack. Its armored body may be a reference to {{wp|war elephants}} that were trained by humans for combat. Donphan's {{t|Ground}} type may come from the fact that elephants like to play in mud or that tyres always stick to the ground and are made out of {{wp|rubber}} which is known as a great {{wp|Insulator (electricity)|insulator}} fitting the {{type|Electric}} immunity.
 ====Name origin====
-Donphan and Donfan are a combination of ''don'' and ''elephant''. ''Don'' may refer to ''lord''; a root word meaning ''teeth'', referring to its tusks; or ''{{wp|mastodon}}'', a prehistoric elephant. ''Don'' may have also been included to reflect Donphan's robust physique and great strength, especially in comparison to {{p|Phanpy}}.
+Donphan and Donfan may be a combination of ''don'' (Spanish for ''lord'' or ''master'') or ''-don'' (common suffix in names of prehistoric animals derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth) and ''elephant''.
