With massive physical bulk, the superb ability of Unaware, and a solid defensive typing, Dondozo functions as a sturdy wall to many of the physical threats roaming the tier. While it prefers Liquidation, Waterfall is a good alternative, trading power and a potential Defense drop for greater PP, allowing Dondozo to continually chip away at threats during longer games. Curse turns Dondozo into an intimidating win condition in the later stages of the game, able to set up on the likes of Mega Mawile and Gouging Fire, while Body Press allows Dondozo to hit Water-resistant foes like Ferrothorn and Ogerpon-W. Tera Dragon flips the matchup on Pokemon which would normally threaten it, such as Kartana, Rillaboom, and especially Ogerpon-W. Due to its passive nature, Dondozo is found mainly on bulky teams, partnering well with Pokemon like Gliscor and Ting-Lu, which can handle Dondozo checks like Toxapex, Mega Latios, and Mega Latias, while Dondozo can check the Water-types that would threaten them, like Urshifu-R or Hisuian Samurott. Dondozo usually carries Heavy-Duty Boots as its item to ensure it can switch in safely when it is used on teams with less reliable entry hazard removal, though if paired with a reliable hazard remover like Tornadus-T, Dondozo can opt for Leftovers to shore up its poor recovery, allowing it to 1v1 threats such as Mega Scizor and Zamazenta more reliably.
