Darmanitan (Japanese: ヒヒダルマ Hihidaruma) is a Fire-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Darumaka starting at level 35.

Darmanitan's appearance will change depending on its Ability and current HP.

Biology

Physiology

Darmanitan is a mainly red, squat ape-like Pokémon. Darmanitan 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. Darmanitan'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, Darmanitan's underside sports a patterning of three tan-colored ovals.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Under normal circumstances, Darmanitan are immensely strong physically; a single punch can destroy a dump truck.

Darmanitan with the ability Zen Mode have access to a second Form, when they have less than half of their health left. In this form, they turn blue and become more like a Daruma doll that's hard as a rock. They also gain Psychic as a secondary type. They experience an exchange in their Special Attack and Attack stats, their Defense and Special Defense almost double, and their Speed sharply drops. In "Zen Mode" they fight using their spiritual and emotional strength, but they're completely physically immobile. However, they can still use physical moves.

Behavior

These Pokémon are normally very active and fight using both physical and emotional strength.

A Darmanitan in Zen Mode is completely immobile, so it uses its psychic powers in place of its arms in order to do things such as gather and eat food.

Habitat

Like its pre-evolution Darumaka, Darmanitan are indigenous to the Desert Resort in Unova.

According to Professor Juniper, the five Zen Mode Darmanitan in front of the Relic Castle have been sleeping there for 2,500 years. They wake up when given a RageCandyBar.

Trivia

Origin

Darmanitan's physical appearance is based on an ape and the Daruma doll. It is also likely based on the the adage of the three wise monkeys—"See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil"—as Darmanitan in their Zen Mode have their eyes become blank, their mouths shut tightly and their ears covered, sitting patiently in contrast to its bold posture in Standard Mode. Its Zen Mode may also be a reference to Bodhidharma, achieving enlightenment.

Name origin

Darmanitan is a combination of Dharma (alternate spelling of daruma) and orangutan. It may also involve titan.

Hihidaruma is a combination of ヒヒ hihi (baboon) and Daruma and is a pun on 火達磨 hidaruma ("the state of being on fire").
