Appearances
Anime
Many Pokémon trainers own Donphan. Ash owns a Donphan, which was last used at the Sinnoh League against Conway's Shuckle. A Shiny Donphan appeared in the anime in the episode "Date Expectations".
Trivia
- Donphan and Tyranitar have the same species. They are both known as the Armor Pokémon.
- Pokémon Crystal is the only known game in which Donphan lifts up its trunk.
- Kenta Miyake, who plays Giovanni in the original Japanese anime series, voices Donphan in both the Japanese and English-language versions of the anime.
- According to Trading cards for the first movie, Donphan was originally named Donfan.
- The names Phanpy and Donphan may be derived from the character names Pompy and (Tom) Doniphan from the classic western film, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. This was mentioned in a Players Pulse letter in Nintendo Power Magazine by a fan of the games.
- In the Pokémon Deluxe Essential Handbook for Generation VI, Donphan is listed as a Normal-type.
- All non Korean/Japanese versions of Gold do not have Donphan, it is replaced by Ursaring as a version exclusive. This error was corrected in the remakes.
- In Pokémon GO, Donphan is one of the few Pokémon that can have a CP of 3000 or more that is not a Mythical or Legendary.
- It is also one of the 7 that isn't a Pseudo-Legendary or Semi Pseudo-Legendary.
Origin
Physically, it resembles an adult elephant, but it may also have been based on car tyres considering that it resembles one when curled up. It is also smaller than humans, so it may also be based off Pygmy elephants.
Etymology
It is a pun on "elephant" and "don".
