Strategy Overview
Bidoof's access to Simple-boosted Swords Dance and Curse may make it seem like a threatening wallbreaker, but its poor bulk and Speed detract from its ability to punch holes. Even though it has access to Quick Attack to make up for its low Speed, it simply isn't strong enough after a Swords Dance to net KOs. Thus, Bidoof finds itself completely outclassed by other Normal-types, such as Zigzagoon, whose access to Belly Drum + Extreme Speed makes it a far stronger and threatening sweeper, and Bunnelby, which has a higher Speed stat and Huge Power to work better as a wallbreaker.
