Ah, Darumaka in Pokémon Go, eh? Let me tell you, this little fella is quite somethin’. Now, Darumaka is a Fire-type Pokémon, and oh boy, he’s weak to them Ground, Rock, and Water moves. If you ain’t careful, them water Pokémon will wash him right out! But he’s got some fire in him, too! His strongest moveset is Fire Fang and Return, which packs a punch. His Max CP ain’t too shabby neither, goes up to around 1,000 CP.
Folks who really want to catch Darumaka, well, you might see him poppin’ up in the wild sometimes. But if you’re lucky, you might find a Shiny Darumaka in them special Research quests. You gotta do some tasks, complete ‘em, and if the stars align, boom, you might just get that shiny one. Oh, but don’t think it’s all that easy now! Darumaka can be a bit rare to come by outside of events, especially the shiny version, so you gotta keep your eyes peeled.

Now, lemme tell ya, Darumaka ain’t just sittin’ there lookin’ pretty. When he evolves into Darmanitan, well, now you’re really cookin’. That big fella has one of the strongest attack stats among Fire-types. So, if you’re lookin’ for some heavy-hittin’ Fire-type Pokémon, Darmanitan is your guy. You’ll need 50 candies to evolve Darumaka into Darmanitan, but it’s worth it if you ask me.
- Type: Fire
- Weaknesses: Ground, Rock, Water
- Strongest Moveset: Fire Fang, Return
- Max CP: Around 1,000
Now, here’s somethin’ else. If you want to get Darumaka or evolve him, you best keep an eye out during special events. They’ve had him in Research events like the Throwback Challenge 2020 and Investigate a Mysterious Energy. You do these events, and if you’re lucky, you’ll come across a Darumaka encounter. Even better, sometimes these events got that shiny version waitin’ for you as a reward! Ain’t that a sweet deal?
When it comes to battles, Darumaka and its evolved form Darmanitan can be useful in PvP if you know how to handle them. Darmanitan, especially, with its high attack stat and powerful Fire-type moves, is no joke. It’s tough to get outside of special events, but if you do manage to grab one, you’ll have a solid Fire-type on your team.
So, there you have it, folks. If you want a Darumaka, keep grindin’ those tasks and look out for them special events. And remember, evolvin’ him into Darmanitan can give you one of the best Fire-type attackers in the game. But don’t go lettin’ him get hit by them Water or Ground moves, or you’ll be in trouble!
