Psychic is a dangerous matchup for Okidogi — quadruple damage means one hit can end things. On the flip side, it resists 6 types, so the defensive profile isn't all bad. Known as the Retainer Pokemon. Built to hit on the physical side.
Okidogi's spread isn't flashy. Attack leads, Sp. Atk trails, 5 stats clear the bar. Near-impossible to catch and worth 3 Attack EVs, on a slow 1.25M XP grind.
Okidogi Weakness
AvgType-wise, Okidogi takes extra damage from Psychic, Ground, and Flying. Watch out for Psychic attacks, those deal 4x damage. 6 resistances give it solid defensive coverage on top of that. Okidogi's physical bulk (base 115 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
No chain, no eggs. Okidogi is a standalone Poison/Fighting type with 555 stats that falls outside normal breeding mechanics.
How to Evolve
Guarddog helps Okidogi stick around while dealing real damage. Assault Vest for a special bulk boost with no status moves allowed, a spread EV build EVs for the right balance, and Drain Punch as the main threat. Not the fastest, but it doesn't need to be.
