Doduo is technically a pre-evolution of Dodrio, but it holds its own in formats where Eviolite is allowed. Ground and Ghost moves can't touch it, and only 3 types hit it super-effectively. Known as the Twin Bird Pokemon.
Doduo's spread isn't flashy. Attack leads, HP trails, 1 stats clear the bar. Common in the wild and worth 1 Attack EV, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
It lives on a grassy plain where it can see a long way. If it sees an enemy, it runs away at 60 mph.
Doduo Weakness
GoodDoduo is weak to Electric, Ice, and Rock-type moves. On the flip side, it's immune to Ground and Ghost-type moves entirely.
- Dark and Steel types added — Fairy does not exist yet
- Moves are Physical or Special based on type, not per move
- Special stat split into Sp.Atk and Sp.Def
Doduo evolves into Dodrio. It's a two-stage chain with the method shown below. A decent partner pool for breeding via one egg group. Eggs are average hatch time. Evolving adds up to 160 stat points total.
How to Evolve
Breed Doduo easily with 19 breeding partners from the Flying egg group. Pass egg moves like Feint Attack, Flail, Haze and 2 more to offspring.
Best Build
Gen 2 build content has limited support (no abilities).
Try selecting a different game/generation filter, or check back later.
Egg moves make a real difference. Doduo gets Feint Attack and Flail exclusively through breeding, filling gaps that TMs and level-up can't touch. Dark and Ground coverage rounds out the picture alongside Fly and Tri Attack.
Level-Up Moves
TM Moves
Egg Moves
Tutor Moves

Doduo isn't fully evolved, so it's not built for competitive play. You'll want to evolve it into Dodrio to unlock its full potential. At 310 BST, it's a stepping stone rather than a team anchor.
Doduo evolves into Dodrio at level 31. Doduo is the base form of this evolutionary line.
Doduo fills the balanced role. It's a physical attacker with base 85 Attack. Base 75 Speed is workable — faster than some, slower than many. And it's fragile — can't afford to take many hits.
Doduo appears in 19 games, including Yellow, Red & Blue, and Gold & Silver.
Doduo has been part of the series since Red & Blue, appearing in 19 titles across all 9 generations. As a Gen 1 original, it's one of the most consistently available Pokemon in the franchise.
