====Generations V and VI====
If a {{p|Darmanitan}} has this Ability, it is able to [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Darmanitan|change forms]] in battle, based on its [[HP]]. Each form has its own [[type]]s, [[base stats]], [[EV yield]], [[height]], and [[weight]]. This Ability has no effect on any other Pokémon, even one that {{m|Transform|transforms}} into Darmanitan.
 
At the start of battle or at the end of a turn, if the HP of a Standard Mode Darmanitan with the Ability Zen Mode is below half, it will change into its Zen Mode. At the end of a turn, if the HP of a Zen Mode Darmanitan with the Ability Zen Mode is above half, it will change into its Standard Mode. Darmanitan is always in Standard Mode outside of battle.
At the start of battle or at the end of a turn, if the HP of a Standard Mode Darmanitan with the Ability Zen Mode is below half, it will change into its Zen Mode. At the end of a turn, if the HP of a Zen Mode Darmanitan with the Ability Zen Mode is above half, it will change into its Standard Mode. Darmanitan is always in Standard Mode outside of battle.


In Standard Mode, Darmanitan is {{type|Fire}}. In Zen Mode, Darmanitan is {{2t|Fire|Psychic}}-type.
In Standard Mode, Unovan Darmanitan is {{type|Fire}} and Galarian Darmanitan is {{type|Ice}}; in Zen Mode, Unovan Darmanitan is dual-type {{2t|Fire|Psychic}} and Galarian Darmanitan is dual-type {{2t|Ice|Fire}}.


====Generations V to VI====
If Darmanitan loses Zen Mode or Zen Mode is suppressed with {{m|Gastro Acid}}, it will revert to its Standard Mode and not be able to change form. If Darmanitan gains Zen Mode, at the end of the turn it will change form if its HP is below half.
If Darmanitan loses Zen Mode or Zen Mode is suppressed with {{m|Gastro Acid}}, it will revert to its Standard Mode and not be able to change form. If Darmanitan gains Zen Mode, at the end of the turn it will change form if its HP is below half.

{{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Gastro Acid}}, {{m|Worry Seed}}, {{m|Simple Beam}}, and {{m|Entrainment}} fail if the target has the Ability Zen Mode. {{m|Skill Swap}} fails if either Pokémon has Zen Mode. Zen Mode cannot be copied by {{a|Trace}}, {{a|Power of Alchemy}}, or {{a|Receiver}}. Zen Mode cannot be replaced by {{a|Mummy}} or suppressed by {{m|Core Enforcer}}. If a Pokémon other than Darmanitan obtains Zen Mode with {{a|Imposter}} or {{m|Transform}}, the Pokémon will not change Formes.
{{m|Gastro Acid}}, {{m|Worry Seed}}, and {{m|Simple Beam}} fail if the target has Zen Mode. {{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Skill Swap}}, {{m|Entrainment}}, and {{m|Doodle}} fail if either Pokémon has Zen Mode.
