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

It evolves from Doduo starting at level 31.

Biology

Physiology

Dodrio are bird-like Pokémon with three heads, and a ‘V’-shaped black crest on each one. 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 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 with its long, thin beak. Dodrio also have three pink tail feathers.

Gender differences

A female Dodrio has brown necks, while the male has 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 and for long distances without rest, as well as to deal massively powerful kicks to its opponents. Another feature that contributes to its running ability are its three sets of hearts and lungs, which enable it to run long distances without rest. It can deliver devastating blows with its sharp beaks.

Behavior

Dodrio love to wake up early and call their cries every morning, and also love to run. They are usually very crotchety, arguing with themselves on a constant basis. However, if one if them gets to eat, the others will be satisfied, too, and stop squabbling. A Dodrio is especially wary if all three of its heads are looking in different directions.

Habitat

Dodrio can be found living in deserts and plains. Wild ones can be found in Kanto and Hoenn.

Major appearances

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, notably as the first Pokémon seen in real life in the anime (all Pokémon that had appeared beforehand in the episode were either on TV, in dreams, or not real).

Its first major 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.

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

Dodrio served as mounts for the Diglett thieves in the episode Plant It Now...Diglett Later!.

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.

A group of female Dodrio were used in Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part Two by Ash, Kellyn, Dawn and Brock to get to the Riolu that J had kidnapped.

Minor appearances

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

A Dodrio appeared in Camping It Up!.

Dawn used a Dodrio in the first leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team.

Trivia

• While one of its heads is saying something in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, the others say me too or mine too, but its pre-evolved form's other head won't.
• Doduo and Dodrio are the only Pokémon with the ability Run Away that aren't in the Ground Egg Group.
• Before Generation IV, the normal necks of Dodrio is the color of the female's (brown), while its pre-evolution's is based on the male's (black).
• Dodrio ties with Snorlax for the highest base Attack stat of any Generation I Template:Type2, at 110.
• Even though Dodrio is based on a dodo, a bird that can't fly, it can still learn Fly.
  • Dodrio also learns Steel Wing via TM, despite not appearing to have wings.
• Dodrio was the first Pokémon to appear in the flesh in the anime (all others before that were either dreamt of by Ash, or else shown on the TV in his room).
• It is stated in the Pokédex that Doduo can run at 60 mph, while Dodrio's states it can only run at nearly 40 mph. However, its base Speed stat is higher than Doduo's.

Origin

Despite its name, Dodrio appears to have more in common with ostriches, Kiwi birds, emus, cassowaries 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 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.
