Strategy Overview
Dondozo is a niche Pokemon used on stall teams, where its great physical bulk in combination with Unaware allows it to stomach many hits from powerful physical attackers such as Extreme Killer Arceus, Koraidon, Zacian-C, Calyrex-I, and Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground. However, due to its incredibly passive nature and unreliable recovery in Rest, which is blocked by Miraidon's Hadron Engine and Taunt users like Landorus-T, Arceus, and Arceus-Ground, it is prone to being weakened throughout a game. Furthermore, Skeledirge, another common stall Pokemon, frequently competes with Dondozo for a team slot due to playing a similar role and having a means of reliable recovery in Slack Off.
