In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 540, Darmanitan plays as a slow bruiser that trades speed for raw hitting power. Its standout stat is Special Attack at 140, while Attack (30) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Defensively, the Fire, Psychic combination gives Darmanitan 7 resistances and 5 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 6 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 Special Attack +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
