Darmanitan-Galar @ Choice ScarfAbility: Gorilla TacticsEVs:252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HPAdamant Nature- Icicle Crash- Earthquake- Zen Headbutt- Iron Head
This thing can cover Dragon, Flying, Grass, Ground, Poison, Electric, Rock, Steel, Fire, Fighting, Fairy, and Ice. That is 12 types, including every weakness.
Darmanitan-Galar @ Salac BerryAbility: Zen ModeEVs: 252 Atk / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Belly Drum- Ice Punch- Fire Punch- Brick Break
So this set requires a little set up, whether it be sleeping the opponent first or just scouting for a weak attack to throw him into. Use Jolly nature here so you can out speed scarfers after Salac boost. After activating Zen Mode, just wreck house with your double coverage. Brick break is your coverage slot. you can also use Iron Head, Earthquake, whatever you need.

Darmanitan-Galar @ Choice BandAbility: Zen ModeEVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 SpDAdamant Nature- Fire Punch: because of Zen Mode boost- Hammer Arm: Nice for Rock and Ground types- Icicle Crash: Pretty nice with Flinch added.- Earthquake: DAMAGING. Great with teammates that have Levitate, Magnet Rise, or Telepathy.

Darmanitan-Galar @ Expert BeltAbility: Zen ModeEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Belly Drum- Substitute- Ice Punch- Fire Punch / Earthquake
This is different from others where it utilizes Darmanitan-Galar Zen Mode which is finally viable now. First you have to Substitute and Belly Drum and then proceed to smash everything. This is hard to pull off but well worth it due to the sheer power it gives.
Darmanitan-Galar @ Choice Band / Choice ScarfAbility: Gorilla TacticsEVs: 252 Atk / 4 HP/ 252 SpeJolly Nature- Icicle Crash- Flare Blitz / Fire Punch- U-turn- Stone Edge / Earthquake
Use Choice Band to blow holes in the opposition’s team with a base 140 Attack with Gorilla Tactics, or Scarf to pivot and deal damage. Icicle Crash for STAB and Fire Punch or Flare Blitz for strong coverage. U-Turn to pivot and deal damage. The final choice is up to you, but I would recommend Earthquake.

Darmanitan-Galar @Life OrbAbility: Zen ModeEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Stone Edge- Flare Blitz- Brick Break- Zen Headbutt
Explanation:Yes, Life Orb helps in triggering Zen Mode, which further powers you up. Stone Edge can deal against Fire-Types, Zen Headbutt helps attack Fighting-Types, Flare Blitz is extremely reckless (if you’re Ooga Booga like your Darmanitan), Brick Break breaks the hell out of your number one weakness, Rock-Types.I know you die fast, but atleast you deal a ton of damage fast too, loose-loose situation.
Ooga Booga (Darmanitan-Galar) @ Choice Scarf / Choice BandAbility: Gorilla TacticsEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Icicle Crash- Earthquake- Stone Edge- Iron Head
Explanation:
This Pokemon has double-choiced style, due to the ability: Gorilla Tactics.Attacking should just go full Ooga-Booga as 700+ Species of Pokemon are weak to your set. Choice Scarf helps outspeeding enemies. If you did choose choice band (doubled attack immediately), that willsurelyhit like a truck, but get out-speeded in turn, I warn you, you’re very frail, so you must be as fast as you can so you don’t die without any sense.

Darmanitan @ Choice ScarfAbility: Gorilla TacticsEVs: 252 Atk / 4 HP / 252 SpeAdamant Nature- Ice Punch- Iron Head- U-Turn- Earthquake
Lock into ice Punch and bash stuff. Earthquake and iron head are coverage, and U-turn allows you to switch out. This thing ain’t having none of lando-T’s Sh*t!
