Why is Dodrio in PU?

Sep. 3, 2020



110 Attack, 110 Apeed, access to Knock Off, Jump Kick, and Brave Bird? The only thing I see bad about this bird is the abilities. It can do Toxic Orb + STAB Facade, and it could also run a Choice Band because of its great 110 Speed. Why is it only PU?

It has low defenses, its movepool is pretty small, and it can’t compete with other normal-and flying types. Zangoose is a better status abuser. The evasion boost from Tangled feet won’t even matter because its RNG and it just gets worn down by toxic orb anyway. Kangaskhan and Stoutland are better in PU, and it doesn’t stand a ghost of a chance in even NU with its low defenses. It gets bashed repeatedly by the many things that can take its attacks in that tier. Despite this, Dodrio is still one of PU’s best wallbreakers, with its offensive stats, which are pretty good for the tier, however it lacks the offensive power and speed to be worth using in higher tiers.

Also, Stellar Lucario is right lol
