Game data

Abilities

  • Unaware

    The Pokémon ignores the target’s stat changes when attacking, and ignores the attacker’s stat changes when being attacked. It cannot ignore changes to the Speed stat, however.

  • Oblivious

    The Pokémon is oblivious, keeping it from being infatuated, falling for taunts, or being affected by Intimidate.

  • Water VeilHidden

    The Pokémon’s water veil prevents it from being burned.

Passive (unlock)Dragon’s Maw

Boosts the power of the Pokémon’s Dragon-type moves by 50%.

Egg moves

    The user cloaks itself in fire and charges at the target. This also burns the target.

  • Breaking SwipeDragonPhysical60 pow · 100%

    The user swings its tough tail wildly and attacks opposing Pokémon. This also lowers their Attack stats.

  • Salt CureRockPhysical40 pow · 100%Rare egg move

    The user salt cures the target, inflicting damage equal to ¹⁄₁₆ of the target’s max HP at the end of every turn. Steel and Water types take damage equal to ⅛ of their max HP instead.

Unlock costs

Candy needed for a cost-4 starter:

Passive ability
30 🍬
Cost reductions
15 / 40 🍬
Same-species egg
20 🍬
The price only drops once you have hatched enough Dondozo eggs: 18 🍬 after 15 hatches, 15 🍬 after 30 hatches, 10 🍬 after 60 hatches.
Friendship needed per candy
100

Expensive starters ask for fewer candies, but earn them far more slowly: Dondozo needs 100 friendship per candy, while a cost-1 starter earns one every 25.
