History FanonPokedex / Phanpy

The Phanpy line consists of two species which in general are similar to elephants (in spite of their small stature), with Donphan also looking like a part-hog hybrid. They are Ground-types with a mammalian structure that live in mountainous areas; most of their habitat is in Johto. The largest known natural habitat of wild Phanpy and Donphan are on the mountainous roads connecting Blackthorn City to Cherrygrove City. Phanpy are blue and orange in color, with Donphan being black and grey.

Donpahn are essentially sturdier versions of Phanpy. During evolution, the Phanpy's nose will elongate, as well as developing nubs along the base of the nose to the back of its tail, growing ridges when it evolves into Donphan. The blue skin color is considerably darkened once it reaches the Donphan stage, as the Pokemon will eat Graveler instead of Geodude; this diet alteration leads to increased nutritional variety (Graveler has a larger variety of rock material than Geodude, who is largely composed of rock salts and copper compounds.)

The herds are led by the dominant male and are nomadic in nature. The Donphan protect the smaller Phanpy from danger by circling themselves around them, and should a predator come too close, a trio uses the Rollout attack against them.

Please remember that Phanpy and Donphan are elephants, and by nature, A: They are quite fearful of Pokemon of the Pichu line, as well as Plusle and Minun, and B: Never forget anything. The second point isn't as severe as it is with Cascoon, but this point still means they will remember who hurt them. This can also be used to easily train them.

[++Phanpy Line++]

* Phanpy [231]
* Donphan [232]

The Phanpy line consists of two species which in general are similar to elephants, with Donphan also looking like a part-Hog hybrid. Despite being mammalian in structure, they are considered to be Ground-type and live in mountainous areas mostly in Johto. The largest known natural habitat of wild Phanpy and Donphan are on the mountainous roads connecting Blackthorn City to Cherrygrove City. Phanpy are blue and orange in color, with Donphan being Black and grey.

Phanpy are active, curious and playful creatures who respond well to general playful attitude. Donphan will generally permit their young to wander around and explore as long as they are within visible eyeshot. Unlike most Pokemon, Donphan are not particularly concerned for a Phanpy's physical being as they are by nature extremely sturdy.

Donphan, while not overtly concerned over it's young, are remarkably territorial and aggressive against those it deems a threat to the pack. To which it will generally proceed transform into a wheel and use Rollout to take down whoever it targets at.

Phanpy's skin color is blue because it's natural diet contains copper ore, which oxidizes when it reaches it's blood and is used one of the few compounds to harden it's skin. Speaking of which, it's skin is an extraordinarily hard but elastic material, with properties pertaining to rubber, allowing it to withstand most attacks by taking on it's full impact. It has been shown to be hard enough to resist bullets with minimal effect on the Pokemon itself. Due to this property, many in the past have tried to poach the species in order to use their skin as materials for armor. However, due to the difficulty in skinning a Phanpy as well as the natural hazard of provoking the Donphan herd, it was discontinued as a practice once more legitimate types of material became available. It has been known that spraying the Pokemon with a large amount of high pressure purified water will cause the minerals to dissolve, softening it's skin and hence it's weakness against water type.

A Phanpy's body is extremely heavy despite it's appearance, this is largely in part of Phanpy being almost purely muscle mass, and having much less considerable liquid than the average Pokemon, instead replacing water with even more muscle. Phanpy does not consume water, instead it is carnivorous and is able to produce liquid fat as blood plasma substituting water. All of Phanpy's metabolic reactions and enzymes have been adapted to utilising Lipids as a means of nutrition transportation around the body. Although technically weak to fire due to this shift, Phanpy's mineral-like skin allows it to resist heat with astounding efficiency. Capable of resisting up to 2,000 degrees farenheit for ten seconds. The majority of weight however, comes from Phanpy's unique skin, which has been enforced by carbon and mineral compounds making it highly effective as an armor. The feeling when touched is effectively like rubber except much, much harder.

Phanpy are double jointed, and are cable of curling themselves into a ball as use it's favorite technique, Rollout. The orange pads that Phanpy have on either sides of their legs are used to push off with violent force from the ground, sending Phanpy rolling at high speeds at a target. This combined with its natural weight, allows Phanpy to break down rocks and dent steel structures. As mentioned before, Phanpy are incredibly sturdy, and lack little if any pain sensors due to lack of requirement. Phanpy are encouraged to reckless behavior by their parents to condition their skin to become harder.

Donpahn are essentially sturdier versions of Phanpy. During evolution, the Phanpy's nose will elongate, as well as develop nubs along the base of the nose to the back of it's tail, growing ridges when it evolves into Donphan. The blue skin color is considerably darkened once it reaches Donphan's stage as the Pokemon will eat Graveler instead of Geodude, which has a larger variey of rock material than Geodude, who is largely Rock salt and copper compound.

Mountainous regions, though often can be seen within walking distance of a water supply. The water is not for drinking, but for frolicking in. The Phanpy Line's skin will often require water's solvent properties in order to keep it smooth. It is mostly found in Blackthorn City's outskirts.

Both species are carnivorous with herbivorous tendencies. The Phanpy line posses an unusual digestive system and nutritional system as their primary source of delivery is liquid plasma in the form of liquid animal fat. The Phanpy Line requires constant movement during digestive to allow the enzyme's within it's body acceptable temperature in order to work most efficiently. Due to alcohol's boiling point being much higher than water, Phanpy is able to store up to three times as much heat as a regular human body, and their enzymes have adapted to such conditions. Both species with occassionally eat herbivorous foods such as grass or leaves in order to use it's insoluble fiber material to clear it's digestive tract of any venomous compounds. Phanpy consume mammalian animals such as Sentrets and Furrets, as well as more irregular ones such as Zubat and Geodude. Donphan, being much stronger, are capable of devouring Graveler and Teddiurisa should they feel like it. In each case, Phanpy and Donphan are Extreme Omnivores with powerful digestive systems.

Phanpy is not dangerous, and rather tends to run away from any possible conflict. Donphan, on the other hand, are fully capable of wrecking houses with thier rollout and other fighting heavy moves. They are also easily angered, so all trainers approach with caution.

The males have been seen doing what is called the 'love dance' which is basically the two males trying to out roll the other for the females of the herd.

The herds are led by the dominant male and are nomadic in nature. The Donphan protect the smaller Phanpy from danger by circling themselves around them, and should a predator come too close, a trio uses the rollout attack against them.

Both morphs have the ability to curl up very tightly in a ball, known as roll out. When Donphan does so, it looks rather like a tire, and holds balance better due to the stiff ears. Both forms trunks are sensative, though Donphans less so.

Mountainous and rough area's, though often can be seen within walking distance of a water supply.

Both forms are herbivorous, and are usually found eating small bushes and long grasses.

Phanpy is a small powder blue elephent pokemon, that has two orange pads on both ears and an orange pad at the bridge of it's trunk. There is no gender difference. Donphan is a grey pokemon, with the bands having now grown into a bendable plate armor and it's large ears held out stiffly to the side. The armor has changed black since muturity, and armored bands hug it's legs. It also has small tusks and three claws upon it's feet rather then one. Females tusks are shorter then the males.
