Dodrio

Posted Image

60 HP / 110 Atk / 70 Def / 100 Spd / 60 SpA / 60 SpD

Trait-
Early Bird: user sleeps for half the time of normal.

Choice Bander

Dodrio @ Choice Band
Trait: Early Bird
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Drill Peck
- Return
- Hidden Power [Ground]
- Baton Pass / Quick Attack

Standard CBer. Half of these moves get STAB which is definitely a plus. Hidden Power Ground hits the likes of jirachi and metagross. Baton Pass is good to ease prediction but QA is good for finishing things off. However, you can BP to magneton 1st turn while they switch to a Skarmory getting rid of one of the main dodrio counters.

Flailer

Dodrio @ Liechi berry
Trait: Early Bird
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Endure
- Flail
- Hidden Power [Ghost]
- Agility

bring this in on something that'll switch, and agility. this makes you faster than everything. Endure when you think they'll attack you and flail away. the fact harder to use and the number of tyranitars out there make this set somewhat obselete, but if used right can sweep whole teams.

EVs: in the set.

Other Options: Double Edge can go > Return, but should only be use with wish support as you'll end up KOing yourself pretty quick. Hidden Power [Fighting] can be used for tyranitar.

Counters: Skarmory, metagross, and jirachi can all stop it pretty effectively. Zapdos, but he doesn't like coming in on returns. Weezing also.

Opinion: <3 ^____^

Best Normal/Flying in the 3rd gen.

Never used it other than the Emerald Battle Swap Doubles though...

Endure-Flail works great with an Exploder.

Yeah, he's awesome in 3rd Gen.

He kind of loses out to Staraptor in D/P, though.

gtfo for saying max HP on flail set.

You can bring it in any time, after having swapped it out previously, and still use it with max spd jolly.
If you run Adamant, this can be significantly more difficult, but he packs more of a punch.

Use max Spd/Atk always.
