Donphan

Abilities

Sturdy

When this Pokémon is at full HP, any hit that would knock it out will instead leave it with 1 HP. Regardless of its current HP, it is also immune to the one-hit KO moves: Fissure, Guillotine, Horn Drill, and Sheer Cold. If this Pokémon is holding a Focus Sash, this ability takes precedence and the item will not be consumed.

Sand VeilHidden

During a sandstorm, this Pokémon has 1.25× its evasion, and it does not take sandstorm damage regardless of type. The evasion bonus does not count as a stat modifier. Overworld: If the lead Pokémon has this ability, the wild encounter rate is halved in a sandstorm.
