Strategy Overview

Dodrio is one of PU's best wallbreakers thanks to its high Attack and powerful STAB moves that make it extremely hard to switch into. Although Dodrio is outsped by many offensive Pokemon such as Simipour, Floatzel, and Zebstrika, it is still able to outspeed common Pokemon such as Monferno and Grumpig. However, Dodrio's Stealth Rock weakness combined with Brave Bird recoil wears it down very quickly. Dodrio also faces competition with Ursaring and Stoutland as a wallbreaker but has the advantage of two powerful STAB moves, access to Knock Off, and a priority move in Quick Attack.
