Darumaka

Darumaka is a Fire type Pokémon introduced in Generation 5.

Darumaka has a Galarian Form, introduced in Pokémon Sword/Shield. It is said that Galarian Darumaka arose long ago, when seismic shifts caused the warm region they lived in to cool down. By focusing the energy it holds within its body, Darumaka can expel cold air from its mouth in the form of snow.

Y
Alpha Sapphire
When it sleeps, it pulls its limbs into its body and its internal fire goes down to 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Sword It derives its power from fire burning inside its body. If the fire dwindles, this Pokémon will immediately fall asleep.
Shield This popular symbol of good fortune will never fall over in its sleep, no matter how it’s pushed or pulled.

Galarian Darumaka

Sword It lived in snowy areas for so long that its fire sac cooled off and atrophied. It now has an organ that generates cold instead.
Shield The colder they get, the more energetic they are. They freeze their breath to make snowballs, using them as ammo for playful snowball fights.
