Ground and Ghost moves don't affect Dodrio at all — that's the advantage of Normal/Flying typing. It clears the crowded base-100 Speed benchmark. The stat spread favors raw physical power. An original Gen 1 pick.

The stat budget goes to damage. Attack and Speed carry the offense, HP doesn't even come close. A Triple Bird Pokemon on a medium-fast 1M XP curve, worth 2 Attack EVs per KO.

Dodrio Weakness

Good

Electric, Ice, and Rock-type moves hit Dodrio for super-effective damage. The upside? Ground and Ghost-type moves can't touch it at all. At base 110 Speed, Dodrio outspeeds most threats and doesn't need to tank what it can outrun.

Dodrio leads with Focus Sash insurance. Even if it can't take a hit naturally, it'll survive long enough to deal early damage. Max Attack and Speed EVs go all-in on offense since bulk doesn't matter here.

Best Build

Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee uses different battle mechanics.

Competitive build content is not applicable for this game. Select a main series game for builds.

Leveling does the heavy lifting. Dodrio picks up Jump Kick and Thrash along the way, building toward a complete offensive set. TMs add Fighting coverage, but the foundation's already strong by then.

    or evolve from Doduo (Step 1)

  • We rate Dodrio B-Tier — a solid choice for the right team. At 470 BST, it fits the sweeper role. Base 110 Attack stands out.

  • Watch for Raikou (Electric), Lapras (Ice), and Aerodactyl (Rock) when using Dodrio. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Dodrio's base 110 Speed lets it outpace many threats and strike first, which matters more than trying to tank hits.

  • Doduo evolves into Dodrio at level 31. Dodrio is the fully evolved form. It sits at 470 BST in its evolved form.

  • Run Away ensures success fleeing from wild battles — that's the one you want on Dodrio. Tangled Feet is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Early Bird works too if your team needs something different.

  • Base 110 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. On offense, Dodrio is a physical attacker with base 110 Attack. Best used as a sweeper.

  • Dodrio appears in 19 games, including Yellow, Red & Blue, and Gold & Silver.

One of the original 151, Dodrio has appeared in 19 games — most mainline games. From Red & Blue through the latest titles, it's rarely been left out of a regional Pokedex.
