Darmanitan (Japanese: ヒヒダルマ, HepburnHihidaruma) (dar-MAN-ih-tan[1]) is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It also has an Ice-type regional variant introduced in Generation VIII.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Unovan[]

Darmanitan is a mainly red, ape-like Pokémon. Its body is rounded and powerfully-built, with large tan colored fists, long forelegs, and short hind legs. It has a wide, toothy, relatively manic-looking grin etched on its face, large round eyes with black pupils, and long flaming eyebrows. Its bared teeth are sharp like fangs. Its upper body is bulkier than its lower body, and it has a stubby, pointed tail. It has three tan ovular patches on its chest, just below its grinning mouth.

It has another form called Zen Mode that has a similar torso to its Standard Mode, but with shortened eyebrows, retracted limbs, and is colored blue. It has also has no pupils and gains the Psychic type, along with having its stats altered. It is also brightly colored looking at its arms and legs and near the eyes and has three brightly colored blue dots on its torso.

Galarian[]

A Galarian Darmanitan in its standard form is much more bulky than its Unovan counterpart. Its lips are more defined and a large snowball-like formation protrude from the top of Darmanitan's head.

Just like its Unovan counterpart, Galarian Darmanitan has its own variant of Zen Mode. However, Galarian Darmanitan loses its limbs in favor of large mittens. Its main face has a pair of white pupil-less eyes and red eyebrows with a sinister appearance and is shifted to its lower half. Its head consists of another pair of pupil-less eyes and a wavy mouth. Its "nose" is a flame sticking out. Two yellow dots form below its main face, imitating pieces of coal.

Behavior[]

Darmanitan is a mostly belligerent creature that is capable of generating an internal flame inside its body that burns at 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing it to demolish a single dump truck in a single punch. However, once weakened, Darmanitan will enter its Zen Mode that allows it to sharpen its mental focus to combat opponents with psychokinesis.

Just after the storms end, they may even play with young children and engage in lighthearted snowball fights.

In the Galar region during snowstorms, Darmanitan often goes to human homes and stash food inside the snowball on its head and carry them to barren homes. Unlike its Unovan counterpart, Galarian Darmanitan has a timid and friendly demeanor, even disguising itself as an ordinary snowman if any humans are nearby. When it reaches its Zen Mode, Galarian Darmanitan becomes more aggressive and wild after its flame sac has been reignited. It will continue to go on a rampage, spewing flames everywhere even when it is on the brink of melting.

Natural Abilities[]

Darmanitan can throw punches that are capable to demolish anything on its path. It can hone its psychic powers during meditation when in Zen Mode.

Galarian Darmanitan uses headbutts to attack foes after freezing and hardening the snowball on its head.

Evolution[]

Darmanitan is the evolved form of Darumaka as of level 35.

  • Galarian Darmanitan is currently the only Regional Variant Pokémon to have an alternate form.
  • Galarain Darmanitan was the first known Pokémon to be banished to the Ubers Tier in competitive play.

Origin[]

Darmanitan bears resemblance to the Daruma doll and an orangutan or gorilla. Its Zen Mode may be based on the Three Wise Monkeys as, in contrast to regular Darmanitan, its eyes go blank (see no evil), it covers its ears (hear no evil), and closes its mouth (speak no evil). Its eyes going blank may also reference how Daruma doll's have blank eyes when sold and are then painted in when the recipient starts and finishes a goal. It was also stated that Bodhidharma was part of Darmanitan's inspiration.


Galarian Darmanitan is based on a yeti with some elements of a snowman, the latter being known as yuki-daruma (or Snow Daruma) in Japan. Its Zen Mode emphasizes more on its snowman-like appearance, such as the spurt of fire for the nose, which resembles a carrot used as a snowman nose, and large gloves. Its snowball on its head is similar to the Indian Pagri but, along with its beard, may also be based on the British Royal Guard as Galar takes inspiration from Great Britain. Its Zen Mode is inspired by avatism, the reappearance of a disappeared ancestral trait.

Etymology[]

Darmanitan comes from Daruma, Dharma (an alternate name/spelling of the Daruma doll), and orangutan.

Its Japanese name, Hihidaruma, comes from hi (which can be taken as either "scarlet" or "fire" in Japanese), Daruma, and hidaruma (on fire).
