Trainer Tips

Dodrio is a Normal/Flying-type Pokemon with a stat total of 513. With its high Attack stat (218), Dodrio is best suited for offensive roles in both raids and PvP.

Watch out for Electric, Ice, Rock-type moves when using Dodrio. These types deal super effective damage that can cut into Dodrio's performance.

Dodrio's moves get a damage boost in Partly Cloudy and Windy weather. Take advantage of weather conditions to maximize your DPS in raids and gym battles.

Unlocking a second charged move costs 50,000 Stardust and 50 Candy. With 5 charged moves available, a second move gives Dodrio much better coverage in PvP battles.

Verdict

Collector's Pick
Dodrio is a Normal/Flying-type Pokemon with base stats of 218/140/155 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 2,670. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Dodrio may shine during specific events, in limited-format cups, or when new moves are added in future updates. For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.
