| File:555D.png | Due to special coding in place in the article to illustrate Hihidaruma's forms, certain displays will change showing Hihidaruma as though it were in either it's Normal Form or Daruma Mode. However, this cannot be accurately reproduced here. This will only affect the type-themed color displays, the base stats entry which is unhidden, the type effectiveness entry which is unhidden, and the moves noted as STAB for this Pokémon. This changes every time the page isn't edited for more than a week, so when the time comes, click here to return to the page and change the display. |
Physiology
Hihidaruma is a mainly red, squat ape-like Pokémon. Hihidaruma has long, bushy flame-colored eyebrows, curled at the beginning portions, and round, black-ringed eyes. The upper portion of its tan-colored face is separated from the lower portion by a diagonal stripe of red, and its large mouth sports spiked teeth. All these facial features give the impression of a manic or angered expression, and Hihidaruma’s head has no discernible neck to distinguish it from the rest of the body and its rounded back, which culminates in a stubby tail. It has long arms with spiky hair fringes on the wrists and large tan-colored hands, with a similar arrangement for its hind limbs. Additionally, Hihidaruma’s underside sports a patterning of three tan-colored ovals. Steph 18:52, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
Name Origin
I think this way would be a more complete origin: Hihidaruma is a portmanteau of the words 狒狒 hihi, baboon, 火だるま hidaruma, body covered with flames and 達磨 daruma, the Daruma Doll. KurowaSan 06:12, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
Shouldn't this be added?: 火 hi also means fire, refering to its type. --Pokequaza 06:38, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
Darumakka
Pre-evolution almost guaranteed to exist. But I guess we wait until confirmation? --Element03 04:18, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Daruma Mode and EVs
Do we know how the EVs work? It says Attack and Special Attack are swapped but is that really the case? If you EV-trained in Attack and Hihidaruma switches to Daruma mode, do those EVs get transferred to special attack? In other words, Atk/SpAtk would be 203/30 base in normal mode if Attack is maxed. In Daruma Mode does this go to 30/203, or 93/140?
- The EVs themselves wouldn't transfer, but that's a moot point anyway, since four EVs equals one extra stat point (unless that changed in B/W). Whatever the Attack stat is after the EV training would then become the Special Attack stat in Daruma Mode, and vice versa. Phantom♫Junkie 13:55, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
- What about the defense change though? It seems like the actual attack and spatk stats aren't just swapped, only the base stats change. DisgruntledGoat 18:59, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Daruma mode = Dharma mode?
The Daruma doll, after all, is based off of Bodhidharma so maybe the "Daruma mode" of Hihidaruma's found in the desert could be seen as Hihidaruma achieving enlightenment like Bohdidharma and succesive dharmas did? --Mackinz of SoulSilver 18:24, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
- Fixed your link. And that's actually an interesting observation. Perhaps that should go in its Origin section? --AndyPKMN 20:34, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
- My link was broken...? Weird. I doubled checked that link. Ah well. Anyway, this observation was made when I was researching Daruma dolls (I'll tell you on dA if you're interested why) and it should definitely go into the "Origin" section because I've been finding a few deeper bases for certain Pokemon. The current "Origin" section does not give enough of a thought to the "Dharma mode" idea. --Mackinz of SoulSilver 01:15, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
