 ==Trivia==
-* Donphan is one of several Pokémon whose sprites were altered during translation of Pokémon Silver. In Donphan's case, the underside of its trunk was changed from striped gray, similar to a real trunk, to solid black, and its eyes became smaller.
-* Donphan was the first {{tt|evolved|Marill is an unevolved Pokémon in Generation II}} [[Generation II]] Pokémon seen in the anime, and the fifth Generation II Pokémon ever introduced, after {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Marill}}. However, its name, and that of the move it used, {{m|Rollout}}, was not revealed in its debut. Its name was finally revealed when a promotional set of cards was released for ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.
 * Donphan shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Tyranitar}}. They are both known as Armor Pokémon.
-* Donphan, along with its pre-evolution {{p|Phanpy}}, and also {{p|Seel}} and {{p|Shellder}}, are the only non-Ice-type Pokémon that can learn {{m|Ice Shard}}. Seel and Shellder can learn it by leveling up, while it is an Egg move for Phanpy. However, both Seel and Shellder evolve into dual-Ice types.
 * Donphan and {{p|Ursaring}}, along with their pre-evolutions, are the only Pokémon to swap version-exclusive status between localizations. While Phanpy and Donphan are found only in the Japanese Gold, they are not found in Gold in other languages, being found in the Silver Version of those languages instead, with Teddiursa and Ursaring getting the opposite treatment. This is corrected in the remakes {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, where they follow the Japanese Gold and Silver.
