Dondozo Evolution: Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

As of now, Dondozo does not have any evolutions. However, it is commonly seen teaming up with Tatsugiri, the Mimicry Pokémon. When challenging this Titan Pokémon with its companion in battle, this duo can prove to be difficult to take down.

When Tatsugiri and Dondozo are together in a double battle, Tatsugiri will hop into Dondozo’s mouth. It will then protect Tatsugiri until faints, so trainers first need to take down Dondozo before battling Tatsugiri.

Tatsugiri has three different forms that help Dondozo in battle. Not able to attack itself, Tatsugiri will give Dondozo a +2 omni-boost and additional stat boosts when Dondozo uses its ‘Order Up’ move. The stat boost Dondozo receives is based on which form Tatsugiri is.
