* 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, 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}}.

* 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. | * Donphan and {{p|Ursaring}}, along with their pre-evolutions, are the only Pokémon to swap version-exclusive status between localizations.

It appears to have been based on an adult {{wp|elephant}}, although it resembles the tire of an automobile when curled up or using its trademark {{m|Rollout}} attack. As both Phanpy and Donphan are much smaller compared to humans than conventional African or Asian elephants, they may have actually been inspired by the {{wp|Dwarf elephant}} or {{wp|Pygmy elephant}}. | It appears to have been based on an adult {{wp|elephant}}, although it resembles the tire of an automobile when curled up or using its trademark {{m|Rollout}} attack.
