How it works in Gen IX
If this Pokémon is a Tatsugiri and a Dondozo is an active ally, this Pokémon goes into the Dondozo's mouth. The Dondozo has its Attack, Special Attack, Speed, Defense, and Special Defense raised by 2 . During the effect, the Dondozo cannot be switched out, this Pokémon cannot select an action, and attacks targeted at this Pokémon will be avoided but it will still take indirect damage. If this Pokémon faints during the effect, a Pokémon can be switched in as a replacement but the Dondozo remains unable to be switched out. If the Dondozo faints during the effect, this Pokémon regains the ability to select an action.
“When the Pokémon enters a battle, it goes inside the mouth of an ally Dondozo if one is on the field. The Pokémon then issues commands from there.”
