Why the fuck is Donphan such shit? It gets fang moves, knockoff,

rapid spin

It looks damn cool.

120 attack and defense

>>33013887
nah

>>33013884
Theres got to be better rapid spinners? Tentecruel? Hitmontop?

>>33013887
Yea Donphan is a mean looking pokemon, hes never been able to live up to other ground types though. Even with a good movepool. WHAT THE FUCK?

>>33013899
I use Donphan against my jobber friends and he works fine

He's no Garchomp but he can dish it and take it

>>33013879
STAB Earthquake

>>33013904
What moveset? I'm curious to use Play Rough on Donphan.

>>33013905
I'm considering just keeping it as Phanpy for pickup. Donphan just isn't quick enough.

>>33013879
Great moves, attack and defense, BUT horrible speed and sp. defense, effectively resulting in a death sentence.

>horrible speed and sp. defense, effectively resulting in a death sentence.
Why dont they increase his speed? Everytime we see Donphan hes zipping around... Elephants can run pretty fast also.

>>33013921

Jack of all trades, master of none.

>elephantlet.
Holy shit you're right.

Does Donphan need 3rd evo???/

>>33013966
>Ground type priority
Never, and knowing GameFreak only shitmons like Seismitoad and or Claydoll.

>>33013980
Good, Seismitoad and Cloydol need ground priority

Love Donphan, built a set just to fuck over Garchomp in most if not all incarnations. Makes a lot of newbs R A G E. Give Donphan good support and watch people huff that their G O D is easy to defeat in singles lmao by another Ground type.

Since we all know Lando T should have been in BL or Ubers since Greninja got banned from OU. Oh well Smogons sucks now anyways aside from showdown. #longlivePGLdatatracking #trueOU

>>33013921
These are the same guys who decided that Phanpy and Donphan should have the same HP stat.
