Doduo (ドードー Dodo) is a Normal/Flying-type Pokémon. Doduo will evolve into Dodrio, at level 31.

Biology

Appearance

Doduo is a tall, bird Pokemon that resembles an ostrich. It has two heads that are exactly similar. Doduo is covered in brown down, and has large taloned feet.

Behavior

The heads of a Doduo appear to be quite keen with each other; they use a type of 'teamwork' to get things done and to survive. For example, while running, Doduo can be seen alternately rising and lowering their heads. They do this to balance themselves while running at extreme speeds. This Pokémon also appears to be quite cautious, the heads take turns sleeping while the other one watches for enemies.

Special Abilities

Doduo can have the ability Run Away or the ability Early Bird. Run Away allows Doduo to flee from any wild Pokémon battle. Early Bird allows Doduo to wake up faster from the Sleep status. Doduo can run very fast; however, they can't fly very well.

Appearances

In the Anime

Doduo's first appearance was a cameo at Professor Oak's labratory in Showdown at the Poké Corral, belonging to Gary Oak. It eventually evolved into a Dodrio.

In Bad to the Bone, Otoshi tried to fight off Team Rocket with a Doduo, but he was failing miserably until his Marowak decided to return.

A male one also appeared in Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One.

In the Manga

Prior to her appearance in the Yellow chapter of Pokémon Adventures, Yellow was given a Doduo that eventually evolves in Volume 7. The person who gave her Doduo is revealed in Volume 9 to be her uncle, Fisherman Wilton.

Mr. Fuji is revealed to have had a Doduo that passed away due to old age, but could not be properly buried due to the unidentified ghost that haunted the Pokémon Tower. After Red and Blue succeed in defeating it and Koga, its trainer, it was finally able to rest in peace.
