In-Depth Analysis
Dondozo totals 530 across its base stats, profiling as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Lean on its HP (150) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Speed (35).
Defensively, the Water combination gives Dondozo 4 resistances and 2 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 3 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 25 makes Dondozo a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants HP +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
