Galarian Darmanitan is an effective offensive pivot and revenge killer due to the combination of its ability in Gorilla Tactics and expansive offensive movepool. Choice items stack with its ability without any drawback, and its Dynamax potential allows it to avoid being Choice-locked into a single move, expanding its potential in wallbreaking and cleaning. Icicle Crash is a good STAB move that hits most of the metagame for neutral and supereffective damage, and Flare Blitz covers for Steel-types, the most common typing that resists Icicle Crash. However, due to its mono-Ice typing, weakness to entry hazards, and general lack of bulk, Galarian Darmanitan offers teams little defensive synergy. Choice Scarf finds a place on offensive teams looking for a revenge killer, especially for Pokemon such as Eternatus, Zacian-C, Dragapult, Zekrom, and Mewtwo. Choice Band is especially difficult to switch into, and Galarian Darmanitan has enough base Speed to be able to revenge kill slower or unboosted offensive Pokemon.

Galarian Darmanitan is reliant on Dynamax to sponge most attacks, which means that it can only switch into defensive threats or be brought in via double switches or other pivots. Although it is a potent Dynamax user, Dynamax does nullify the boosts from Choice items and Gorilla Tactics, meaning that a Dynamaxed Galarian Darmanitan is substantially weaker than one holding a Choice Band and only slightly stronger than one holding a Choice Scarf. Unlike several offensive Pokemon, Galarian Darmanitan has no way to recover health on its own and is also susceptible to residual damage, highly limiting the number of times it is able to come into play. Offensive teams that utilize Galarian Darmanitan must focus on forming a compressed defense against opposing offensive threats, with teammates such as Eternatus, Necrozma-DM, and Corviknight being particularly effective. Teammates that provide overlapping or complimentary offensive pressure, such as Zacian-C and Lunala, also increase Galarian Darmanitan's offensive potency.
