Doduo/Dodrio

[*Twilight*]

im thinking about adding a dodrio to my team but im not really sure about if it has a moveset that's worth it. i don't just want the usually boring normal/flying type moveset. is there a strategic way to use a dodrio?

The best way to use a Dodrio is by getting it to have HP: Ghost, Ground, Fighting, or Rock (I've seen Ground mostly recommended). Overall, you want to make your Dodrio a choice bander w/ Return, Drill Peck, and Quick Attack (so it hits and runs). You could try Steel Wing, just so you have more type coverage... but if you can somehow manage to breed/catch a dodrio w/ HP Ground or ghost, you can try CBing that.

-Hidden Power Ghost
-Substitute
-Flail

Sub until you have 1 HP to get the Salac Boost, then Flail. Hidden Power Ghost any Ghost. Drill Peck only does more damage than Flail if the target has a 4x weakness to Flying, so you can replace it with Endeavor, Quick Attack, or Haze if you want. Endure can replace Substitute if you want.l
