Donphan seems to be based on an adult {{wp|elephant}}, possibly the {{wp|pygmy elephant}} or the extinct {{wp|dwarf elephant}} due to its relatively small size (if compared to [[Copperajah (Pokémon)|Copperajah ]]). The ridges on its dark gray backside are similar to {{wp|tire tread}}s, causing it to resemble a spinning car {{wp|tire}} when using its {{m|Rollout}} attack. Its armored body may be a reference to {{wp|war elephants}} that were trained by humans for combat. | Donphan seems to be based on an adult {{wp|elephant}}, possibly the {{wp|pygmy elephant}} or the extinct {{wp|dwarf elephant}} due to its relatively small size (if compared to [[Copperajah (Pokémon)|Copperajah]]).
