Yeah, once he is smashed he might stay smashed until after a fight, but it will certainly take time for him to come back. That was the main thing in the games about dry bones is that you could smash them and then you were safe from him for a bit. I also added that there probably was some sort of damage that could destroy him if it's good that he be destroyed for some reason.

and yeah I'm working on a post to get him involved now.
