Moveset analysis

In Great League it runs Peck and Brave Bird. In Ultra League it runs Peck and Brave Bird. PvP movesets favour energy generation and shield pressure over raw damage, which is why they often differ from the raid set.

The highest-damage fast move is Steel Wing (14 DPS); Feint Attack builds energy fastest (10 EPS). Air Cutter is an Elite TM move and cannot be taught with a regular Charged TM.

Dodrio does not rank as a raid attacker, but it holds a Tier S spot at #6 in Great League. Build it to the league's CP cap rather than to a level, and unlock the second charged move before you invest further.

  • Attack is its highest stat (218), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
  • A second charged move costs 50,000 Dust and 50 Candy, and with 5 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
  • Its moves get a damage boost in Partly Cloudy and Windy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ

What is the best moveset for Dodrio in Pokemon GO?

Dodrio's best moveset is Peck (fast) with Brave Bird (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.

What are Dodrio's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?

Dodrio takes super effective damage from Electric, Ice, Rock-type moves. It resists Ghost, Ground, Bug, Grass, so avoid those types against it.

What is Dodrio's max CP in Pokemon GO?

Dodrio reaches 2,670 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 2,362 CP at level 40. Level 50 needs XL Candy, which only unlocks at Trainer Level 31 and comes from catching, hatching, transferring and walking.

Is Dodrio good for PvP in Pokemon GO?

Dodrio is ranked #6 (Tier S) in Great League with a 75.00% win rate. Dodrio is ranked #6 (Tier S) in Ultra League with a 75.00% win rate.

In CP-capped leagues a lower Attack IV lets you reach a higher level under the cap, so the ideal spread for Great League is 0/15/12 rather than a hundo.

Unlocking the second charged move is the highest-value upgrade: it lets Dodrio bait shields instead of committing to one attack.

What CP is a 100% IV Dodrio?

A perfect 15/15/15 Dodrio shows 1,349 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 1,687 CP at level 25 (weather boosted). Seeing that exact number on the catch screen means it is a hundo — favourite it before you transfer anything.

Can Dodrio be shiny in Pokemon GO?
