Is Dodrio Good in Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee Playthrough?

Dodrio crushes Pidgeot in raw Attack while matching its Speed. Normal/Flying isn't the most useful typing against the gym circuit, but Dodrio hits hard enough to dent almost anything neutral. One of the better Normal-types if you want pure physical power.

Fastest Path

The best route is Catch Combo at full boosts, about 1 in 274 on each try. Tune it below.

Step 1 · Encounter Method2 in Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee

Catch Combo: Catch one species back-to-back. A Lure stacks on top of a 31-plus combo.

Full Odds: Walk through grass, surf, or fish. Every encounter is its own independent shiny roll.

How is this calculated?

Every encounter has the same shiny chance, the Shiny Odds Per Try shown above. Each one is a separate roll that does not care how many you have already done, so the more you hunt, the higher your overall chance of at least one shiny. The formula below turns your odds and your number of tries into that combined chance.

chance after N tries = 1 − (1 − p)^N,  where  p = 1 / odds per try

Example at 1 in 8,192 (classic full odds): about 864 encounters for a 10 percent chance, 5,678 for 50 percent, and 18,862 for 90 percent.

The table above flips that around: it shows how many encounters it takes to reach a 10, 25, 50, and 90 percent chance at your current odds. Turning on boosts like the Shiny Charm, sandwiches, or chains improves your odds, so the encounter numbers drop.

These are estimates, not promises. Most games have no pity counter, meaning no guaranteed shiny no matter how many you hunt, so even Very Likely is not guaranteed: some hunters find one early, others go well past that point.

Dodrio Weakness

Electric, Ice, and Rock 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.

Let's Go Dodrio Best Moveset

110 Attack at 110 Speed with Normal/Flying TermStab. Fast and hard-hitting for the typing but the moveset has zero coverage beyond Normal and Flying hits. 60/70/60 bulk on both sides means one super-effective hit finishes everything.

Candy for Dodrio

Moves List

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.
