Strategy Overview
Bidoof is often neglected as a generic in-game HM slave because of its poor stats all across the board. However, don't let this slave's ugly face fool you as it does have two very special abilities in Simple and Unaware, allowing it to set up twice as fast as other sweepers and hurt the opponent efficiently, or to easily counter stat uppers, respectively. These unusual gifts from Arceus are the only reasons Bidoof is not completely outclassed by other Normal-type Pokemon, so abuse them to their fullest.
