PU Dodrio (Choice Scarf)

[Anty]

Choice Scarf
########
name: Choice Scarf
move 1: Brave Bird
move 2: Return
move 3: Knock Off
move 4: Toxic
ability: Early Bird
item: Choice Scarf
evs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
nature: Jolly

Moves
========

Brave Bird is Dodrio's main STAB move due to its strength and typing, but it severely wears Dodrio down with recoil damage. Return provides a secondary STAB move that allows Dodrio to hit Electric-types neutrally and does not inflict recoil damage. Knock Off provides good utility by removing the foe's item, allowing Dodrio to cripple Rock- and Steel-types. Toxic also cripples Rock-types along with bulky walls such as Avalugg, but it is a bad move to be locked into.

Set Details
========

The EVs are standard for a fast, physically offensive Pokemon, and Choice Scarf allows Dodrio to revenge kill Pokemon such as Jumpluff and Ninetales. Early Bird is Dodrio's most relevant ability and is useful if Dodrio gets put to sleep.

Usage Tips
========

Dodrio should be used as a revenge killer, as its high Speed boosted by Choice Scarf allows it to outspeed the entire unboosted metagame, but it should not switch into attacks, as it is very frail. Dodrio also has the Speed and power to clean up weakened teams late game. Brave Bird is a fairly safe move to be locked in to, whereas Return can be used if Dodrio is low on HP. If the opponent has a Rock- or Steel-type, or a Pokemon that can easily switch into Dodrio, such as Avalugg, then Knock Off should be used; alternatively, Toxic can be used to cripple non-Steel-type switch-ins

Team Options
========

Ground- and Fighting-types such as Piloswine and Throh beat Rock- and Steel-types that can switch into Dodrio. The former sets up entry hazards, beats Electric-types, and appreciates the removal of Grass-types, while the latter can also beat Ice-types; specifically Avalugg, Sneasel, and Piloswine. Grass-types such as Tangela and Torterra also beat Rock-types, and they have a better matchup against Carracosta and Barbaracle. Water-types such as Poliwrath and Carracosta beat Rock-types, resist Ice, and enjoy the removal of Grass-types. More offensive teammates, such as Tangela and Barbaracle, can apply more pressure to Rock-types, by using double switches, and use them as setup fodder. Due to its weakness to Stealth Rock, Dodrio greatly appreciates entry hazard control from Pokemon such as Avalugg and Armaldo. Defoggers can be used, but Dodrio shares a typing with every Defog user other than Prinplup. Dodrio fits better on offensive teams that need ways to revenge kill fast Pokemon and have strong wallbreakers, such as Simipour and Marowak, that can weaken the opponent's team, allowing Dodrio to clean up. Aurorus and Sneasel can act as bait for Rock- and Steel-types and cripple them with Earth Power and Low Kick, respectively, while Dodrio beats the Fighting-types that threaten them.

BP in moves? thoughts?

BP in moves? thoughts?

BP is illegal with brave bird :( so the set would have to be double edge (also illegal with brave bird)/ drill peck/knock off/bp, which i dislike as flying is a more spammable STAB, and at this point you might as well use fearow (+ drill peck is weaker than return)

 

[WhiteDMist]

Ah right, dammit :(

Ah right, dammit :(

qc ready now ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

 

[g]

Poliwrath should definitely be in team options as it is a counter to stuff that sets up on dodrio like carracosta. Roselia is a nice partner too. (As is leafeon)
Mention in usage tips that dodrio can't take an attack to save its life and to play it accordingly.
Idk very straightforward 1/3

[scorpdestroyer]

Roselia doesn't exactly match up well vs Barbaracle and Costa so id mention maybe Tangela or Leafeon.

If you want to keep Rose you could say it sets up hazards which achieve xyz KO or something but it shouldn't go with mons that beat costa and barbar

you probably could mention offensive water and grass-types to double into all the stuff that switch into Dodrio or at least get a free setup turn if Dodrio dies

QC 2/3 Anty nice job

QC 2/3 Anty nice job

Implemented the first and third bit
I dont think rose is any more noteworthy than other pokes

Writing up is going to be more effort than planned considering my keyboard is broken| I might do symbols as full stops and commas and c/p them in later (so sorry if this takes a while)

Majorly overestimated that

 

[WhiteDMist]

Instead of spam, just say "be locked into".

qc approved
3/3
get it to GP Anty

GP ready :D

Thanks and did this

Regarding some of your comments, i wouldnt say return is too 'decent' as it is effectively an inferior brave bird but has no recoil and the answer to (All of that helps Dodrio... How?) quite obvious from reading it.

i made that comment because Dodrio was not mentioned once in that entire part of the paragraph.

i made that comment because Dodrio was not mentioned once in that entire part of the paragraph.

Well i just assumed that it is somewhat obvious that rock types do beat dodrio and there is a need for teammates to threaten it looking at the first line:
'Ground- and Fighting-types such as Piloswine and Throh beat Rock- and Steel-types that can switch in on Dodrio.'
also Dodrio was mentioned in that paragraph more than any other paragraph ?_? Sorry if i am being confused
