I'll invent a signature move for Donphan:

Horn Rush
Power: 160
Accuracy: 100
Type: Ground
PP: 5
Physical

The user drills the target with giant tusks. This move cannot be used twice in a row.

at least donphan wasn't already a nigh-unusable shitmon who recieved a evolution that's also a nigh-unusable shitmon that only it's regional form, who couldn't even stay viable with eviolite, can access

schizo idea:
after DLC2 reveals the time machine was just imaginary powers generated by the crystal demiurge down in Area zero, the player gains access to a fucking imaginery schizo teraorb that can turn pokemon into their paradox forms, like a mega stone.

Cursola was shit.
Galarian Corsola was a meme pick in early gen 8. As soon as Home came back and everything got Knock Off, it fell off.

Why do you need donphan to be stronger?
That obviously wasn't the point, so why are you trying to make it be that?

VGC players hated megas, so now we get copypaste formes instead.

they gave it two abilities it couldn't make any good use of and shaved off half of the defense points it had as a corsola in exchange for more points in it's attack stat which it has absolutely no business using, so no, it was most definitely not amazing

It was the perfect noob trap. It never died, but it never accomplished anything either.

It didn't help they also introduced it in the same generation as Polteageist, which had exact same type as Cursola (pure Ghost), shared an ability with it (Weak Armor), similar but better stat spread (both physically frail special attackers, but Teapot has way more Speed), and had also Shell Smash Stored Power. Perish Body is literally the only unique thing Cursola had over Teapot and it was just a complete trash gimmick. Perish Body was also likely the reason they gave it 60 HP and 50 Def to go along with that 30 Speed.

Well you see, retard-kun, your conundrum lies in the fact that your very first statement, the one which the rest of your argument is predicated on, is completely wrong.
