Retreating costs a further 1 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

Fury Attack3 Energy cards

What each attack asks a deck to attach before it can be used, drawn as the symbols printed on the card.

One Energy card attaches per turn, so the number of symbols is also the number of turns the attack waits.

Fury Attack 3 Energy30 damage for 3 Energy — 10 per Energy card30

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (30).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

A number on a Pokémon card is not always the number that lands.

Fury Attack is printed as 30×, so the printed number is multiplied — the attack deals that much for each thing the sentence beside it counts.

Is Donphan 8 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 30 damage attack that needs 3 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.

What does being a Fighting card do for Donphan 8?

Type decides two things at once — which cards take double damage from this one, and which cards deal double to it. Both are read from the weakness printed on each group, not from a rule of thumb.

What knocks out Donphan 8 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Of the 1,044 cards in the archive that can remove Donphan 8 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 40 printed damage against a bar of 40. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

What is Donphan as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Donphan 8 is one print of Donphan. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

Legality is read from the print rather than from the Pokémon, so an older copy of the same Pokémon is a different card for tournament purposes.

What has to be in play before Donphan 8 can be?

Donphan evolves from Phanpy, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

Phanpy18 prints on record · EX Deoxys

+70 HP · +120 damage

Donphan17 prints on record · EX Deoxys

Phanpy → Donphan

This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Phanpy.
The line runs 2 stages, so the first card has to be in play 1 turn before this one can be.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (150 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.

Back to summary

Is this the strongest Donphan print, and can the older ones still be played?

23 prints carry this name in the archive, and 19 of them are laid out below. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (150 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

Donphan 8 in depth — what these figures add up to

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

Its hardest attack, Fury Attack, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 10 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Phanpy has to be on the field first.

Stage 1 cardsNo. 3,399 of 5,102

What actually removes it

A Grass attack printed at 40 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 80 HP.
1,052 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 912 cards in one attack.

Donphan 8 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Donphan 8?

Donphan 8 has 80 HP and a Grass weakness at ×2, so a Grass attack printed at 40 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 80.

What is the strongest attack on Donphan 8?

Fury Attack, printed at 30 damage for 3 Energy — 10 damage per Energy card. Flip 3 coins. This attack does 30 damage times the number of heads.

What is the retreat cost of Donphan 8?

1 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

What does the × after the damage on Fury Attack mean?

It marks the damage as conditional: the printed figure is dealt once for each thing the sentence on the card counts. The full sentence is printed on the card and quoted in the attack table on this page — "Flip 3 coins. This attack does 30 damage times the number of heads."

Can an older Donphan print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 19 prints listed on this page, 4 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

What does Donphan evolve from?

Phanpy. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Donphan 8 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Donphan 8 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
