Thanks to its massive physical bulk and ability, Unaware, Dondozo serves as a wall for physical setup sweepers, such as Dragonite, Kingambit, and Dragon Dance Dragapult. Dondozo also annoys rain teams, shutting down wallbreakers such as Floatzel, Barraskewda, and Mega Swampert. With Curse, Dondozo can also function as a late-game sweeper. Liquidation is preferred to Wave Crash given that it has more PP and does not incur recoil. However, Wave Crash can also be considered for its greater power. Leftovers is preferred to maximize longevity; however, Heavy-Duty Boots is worth consideration to fortify switches into entry hazards. Tera Grass transforms Dondozo's Electric and Grass weaknesses into resistances, turning common threats in Tapu Koko and Kartana into fodder and avoiding Leech Seed from Ferrothorn. Dondozo fits best on bulky offense and balance teams, as they greatly appreciate its ability to wall physical setup sweepers. Given its mediocre special bulk, special walls such as Clodsire and Ting-Lu make for good teammates, as they can switch into special attackers such as Tapu Koko, Tera Grass Volcarona, and Choice Specs Dragapult. Gholdengo is another good teammate since it checks dangerous special wallbreakers such as Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant that can play around Dondozo's commonly paired special walls. Other Pokemon that can beat these threats include Mega Scizor and Heatran.

Thanks to its Dondozo's massive physical bulk in conjunction with its and ability, (rc) Unaware, allows it to Dondozo serves as a sturdy wall against many for physical set up sweepers, such as Dragonite, Kingambit, and Dragon Dance Dragapult. With proper team support against special attackers (redundant, implied by intro statement highlight physical bulk), Additionally, Dondozo is also very strong against presents a challenge for rain teams, as it walls Swift Swim sweepers shuts down breakers such as Floatzel, (ac) Barraskewda, (ac) and Mega Swampert while retaliating with rain-boosted attacks of its own (irrelevant, just highlight defensive function against rain). With Curse, Dondozo can also become a dangerous wincon in the late game once its checks have been removed function as a late-game sweeper. Liquidation is Dondozo's the preferred to STAB move since it has more PP than Wave Crash given that it has more PP and does not have incur recoil. However, on more offensive teams, Wave Crash should be strongly considered. Rest keeps Dondozo healthy and enables it to check physical sweepers throughout the entire match, while also enabling it to accrue multiple Curse boosts during a late game sweep. (Wave Crash mention is fine, but doesn't need to be recommended on offensive teams—Dozo is not used on offensive teams anyways. No need to elaborate on Rest either, its functionality on this set should be self-explanatory) Leftovers is the preferred item as it helps to maximize Dondozo's longevity, but however Heavy-Duty Boots is another option that should be considered worth consideration if you are uncertain about your team's hazard control to fortify switches into entry hazards. Tera Grass turns transforms Dondozo's two original weaknesses in Electric and Grass weaknesses into resistances, allowing it to set up in front of turning common threats in Tapu Koko and Kartana into fodder and while also blocking preventing Leech Seed from Ferrothorn. Dondozo fits best on bulky offense and balance teams, as these teams they greatly appreciate Dondozo's its ability to wall physical set-up (two words) sweepers. Since Dondozo's special bulk is relatively mediocre Given its mediocre special bulk, special walls such as Clodsire or Ting-Lu may be make for good teammates, as they can set hazards to pressure Dondozo's checks as well as switch into special attackers such as Tapu Koko, Tera Grass Volcarona, Choice Specs Iron Valiant, and Choice Specs Dragapult. In return, Dondozo can checks physical threats such as Great Tusk and Mega Lopunny. (While these are some common threats that it can soft check, Dozo's main function is to stop set up sweepers, as it does take substantial chip from strong physical attackers, and can even get 2HKO'ed with hazards up. Therefore, it's better to remove this statement) Gholdengo is also a another good teammate for Dondozo since it can checks other dangerous special wallbreakers that can play around Dondozo's commonly paired special walls, such as Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant, while also preventing hazard removal by the opponent.
