Darmanitan
*slams fists on ground* APE. APE. APE.
Here’s darmanitan bringing the heat! Go ape and smash your opponents! Watch out though, once he reaches 100% damage he will switch to Zen mode, losing a lot of his speed and up front power but gaining defense and some powerful special attacks! Damage management is crucial!
NEUTRAL SPECIAL: FIRE BLAST / FOCUS BLAST
In normal mode, Darmanitan will shoot a small fireball forwards. In Zen mode, Darmanitan will focus and charge up a powerful blast!
SIDE SPECIAL: FLAME WHEEL / FUTURE SIGHT
In normal mode, Darmanitan will curl up and roll forwards, surrounded by flames! In Zen mode, Darmanitan will make a prediction: an explosion will happen here in two seconds. He hasn’t been wrong yet!
UP SPECIAL: FIRE PUNCH / PSYCHIC
In normal mode, Darmanitan will unlease a fiery uppercut! Does not travel very far, but a great finisher! In Zen mode, Darmanitan will tap into its latent psychic energy and lift itself into the air. Foes that get too close should watch out!
DOWN SPECIAL: BELLY DRUM / REST
In normal mode, Darmanitan will pound his belly, taking some damage but increasing the power of his attacks for 8 seconds. In Zen mode, Darmanitan will go to sleep, slowly recovering health. No hitbox here, sorry HBox.
ULTRA: SUPERPOWER / HYPERBEAM
In normal mode, Darmanitan will unleash a powerful flurry of blows, dealing massive damage. In Zen mode… watch out!
SPECIAL MECHANICS
Upon reaching 100%, Darmanitan will switch to Zen mode. Managing your % is crucial!
