About Donphan
Donphan is covered in tough hide, so even being hit by a car won't faze this Pokémon. However, it is extremely susceptible to rain.

Binder Inspiration
Main Binder Theme: Armored GuardianDonphan's design is striking, with its armored appearance and the earthy tones that suggest a rugged terrain. It’d fit perfectly on a "Ground Forces" page alongside other tough Pokémon like Garchomp or Claydol. The powerful spin attack really gives it that strong, battle-ready vibe, so placing it towards the center would highlight its intimidating presence.Additional Binder Suggestions: Cave / Determined / Earthy Tones / Defense / Sturdy Evolution
