PVE Offensive Moves Explanation
-
Counter does decent damage and is effective against targets such as Tyranitar and Snorlax.
-
Tackle is worse than Counter in a vacuum, but also lacks any sort of type advantage.
-
Mud Slap is the obvious choice for STAB and Ground-type coverage.
-
Charm doesn't have much use on Donphan, but at least pairs with Play Rough
-
Earthquake has STAB and shares some advantageous type matchups with Counter.
-
Play Rough has niche uses and slightly outpaces Earthquake when both are effective.
- Heavy Slam serves a limited purpose on offense due to low power and lack of STAB.
-
Body Slam lacks STAB and can't be Super Effective against anything.
PVE Defensive Moves Explanation
-
Charm hits the hardest on defense, and can nail Dragon-type attackers.
-
Mud Slap benefits from STAB, but doesn't offer anything for coverage.
-
Tackle is a suboptimal fast move; Counter has better defensive DPS.
-
Play Rough is the clear winner over Heavy Slam due to the former's extra power, better typing, and earlier damage window.
-
Body Slam can be used frequently as a 3-bar move, making it a good choice for defense.
- Earthquake is predictable due to its 1 bar nature and easy to dodge.
PVE Overview
Donphan is a solid Pokemon that WAS let down by an awkward movepool. It was granted a Ground-type fast move, Mud Slap, in 2019. With it, it becomes a decent choice for Ground-type damage. However, Ground-type has a very small niche for attacking and compared to other types of moves, it lacks power.
On defense, Donphan lacks double weaknesses and boasts solid all-around stats, but it's nothing special compared to truly good defenders.
