Dodrio (Japanese: ドードリオ Dodorio) is a dual-typed Normal/Flying Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Dodrio are bird Pokémon with three heads. They have very small wings hidden under the fluffy brown feathers that cover their black underside. Because their wings are so small, they have little to no flying ability, but can jump incredibly high. Dodrio's long legs allow it to deal devastating kicks, but only frontward. However, to protect its back, one of the necks can turn around and fiercely peck the opponent.

Gender differences

A female Dodrio has brown necks instead of black ones.

Special abilities

Dodrio have long legs which allow it to jump incredibly high, which makes up for its lack of flight. These legs also allow it to run incredibly fast. It can deliver devastating blows with its sharp beaks.

Behavior

Habitat

Dodrio can be found living in deserts and plains.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Dodrio mainly eat seeds and berries.

In the anime

Dodrio first appeared in Pokémon, I Choose You!, where it has a brief appearance, while shouting its cry to the rising sun like a rooster. Its next appearance was in The Flame Pokémon-athon. Dario used the three-headed bird to compete in a race, but was beaten by Ash who was riding Lara Laramie's Ponyta, after it evolved into Rapidash.

Dodrio also made a cameo in A Chansey Operation. This Dodrio had its necks tied in a knot.

Falkner, the Gym Leader of Violet City, used a Dodrio to battle Ash in Fighting Flyer with Fire.

Gary Oak's Doduo evolved into a Dodrio some time before Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl. Gary used it to attack Team Rocket's helicopter when they made a second attempt to capture Aerodactyl.

Dodrio was used in DP072 by Ash, Hajime, Dawn and Brock to get to the Riolu that J had kidnapped.

In the manga

Yellow's Doduo evolved into Dodrio in Template:PSV of Pokémon Special. It was seen again in Template:PSV, managing to save Pika and Template:P2 from a surfing accident.

Trivia

• Strangely, Dodrio can learn Fly and Steel Wing despite having small or no wings.
• While one of its heads is saying something in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, the others say "me too" or "mine too", but its Template:P2 won't.
• Dodrio was only capable of learning Solarbeam during generation II, and couldn't inherit it due to Generation III being incompatible with Generation II

Origin

Despite its name, it seems like it has more in common with ostriches than dodos.

Name origin

Dodrio's name seems to be a combination of dodo, an extinct, flightless, bird, and trio, meaning a group of three. The dori in its Japanese name may also come from 鳥 tori, bird, or it may be a combination of ドードー dodo and トリオ trio because of its three heads.
