It treats Tatsugiri like its boss and follows it loyally. Though powerful, Dondozo is apparently not very smart.

Catching Dondozo in Cobblemon

Dondozo has a catch rate of 25, which is very hard by Cobblemon standards. Bring its HP as low as you can without knocking it out, ideally with False Swipe, then apply sleep or paralysis before throwing. Those two things matter far more than which ball you use.

Where it appears depends on biome, time of day and weather. Our spawn biome guide explains how to steer the spawn pool toward what you are hunting.

Shiny odds are the same for every species, roughly 1 in 8,192 per spawn, so hunting a shiny Dondozo is purely a volume game. See shiny hunting.
