In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 480, Darmanitan plays as a fast attacker that leans on outspeeding threats and hitting hard. Its standout stat is Attack at 140, while Special Attack (30) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Defensively, the Fire combination gives Darmanitan 6 resistances and 3 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 4 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A catch rate of 60 puts Darmanitan in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
