Impish Nature
- Rest

- Wave Crash
[SET COMMENTS]
Dondozo is an extremely potent sweeper. Its monstrously high HP and Defense combined with Unaware make it extremely hard to break through, especially when gifted a high Special Defense. Dondozo is capable of completely walling physical Pokemon like Zacian-Crowned and Necrozma Dusk Mane. With the right amount of Special Defense, it can reliably avoid being 3HKOed by special attacking Arceus sets thanks to Leftovers, letting it set up on them and Rest provided that there are no crits. Dondozo makes use of Rest for survivability and status removal, then does massive damage with Body Press and Wave Crash after using Curse. Tera Dragon allows Dondozo to beat Grass- and Electric- types like Ogerpon-W and Rotom-W.
Dondozo can struggle with phazing as well as moves like Encore, Taunt, and Psychic Noise. Tera Ghost Unaware users like Clodsire and Clefable will also pose a problem. Hydrapple is a particular threat that can threaten to break through with Giga Drain and Fickle Beam. Kyurem-W can also break through with Freeze Dry when Dondozo is resting. Decent Gods for Dondozo include Calyrex Ice and Ho-Oh for their Special Defense. For Follower teammates, Assault Vest Excadrill is a solid partner for dealing with Clefable, Clodsire, and Kyurem-W. It can also remove entry hazards with Rapid Spin, which Dondozo appreciates a lot since many foes will try to phaze it. Dark-types like Weavile, Lokix, and Hisuian Samurott can be helpful for beating Tera Ghost Clodsire and Giratina. Lokix particularly can do well against Hydrapple by threatening it with U-turn.
