It has sharp, hard tusks and a rugged hide. Its tackle is strong enough to knock down a house.

するどくかたいキバと、さらにがんじょうなひふでの体当たりは、家をもこわすほど。

Trivia

• The initial Japanese print run saw Donphan's Flail attack having no damage displayed at all. This was eventually corrected to "10×", but not until late into the print run, making the erroneous version much more common.

Origin

Flail and Rapid Spin are both moves in the Pokémon games that Donphan can learn. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Gold.
