PU Dodrio (QC 1/1) (GP 1/1)

[TJ]

Dodrio @ Flyinium Z / Fightinium Z
Ability: Early Bird
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Brave Bird
- Quick Attack / Frustration
- Jump Kick

Recently having dropped to PU by usage, Dodrio has quickly established itself as a fantastic wallbreaker and sweeper. Its offensive presence, easily threatens out Pokemon like Liligant and Clefairy, creating opportunities for it to set up Swords Dance and demolish bulky foes like Mudsdale and Jellicent with a +2 Supersonic Skystrike. Additionally, with Fightinum Z on its other main set, Dodrio can even beat counters such as Regirock and Carracosta with All-Out Pummeling. Dodrio can also act as a cleaner with Quick Attack, picking off and preventing weakened faster threats like Choice Scarf Swanna and Primeape from revenge killing it. Despite all of this, it still struggles against faster Pokemon like Lycanroc and Choice Scarf Togedemaru. Its poor defensive typing, lack of bulk, and Stealth Rock weakness often make setting up and switching in difficult, so slow pivots like Lanturn and Mesprit can bring it in safely. Mesprit also provides Healing Wish and Stealth Rock support for Dodrio, making it even scarier to face.

TJ requested to me on PS! that I QC this.

Dodrio @ Flyinium Z / Fightinium Z
Ability: Early Bird
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Brave Bird
- Quick Attack / Frustration / Knock Off (Knock is always cool n stuff but the other 2 are probably more important, so I'd say scrap it)
- Jump Kick

Recently having dropped to PU by usage, Dodrio has quickly established itself as a fantastic wallbreaker and sweeper that is able to dismantle an array of teams. Dodrio's offensive presence, which can quite easily threaten out Pokemon like Liligant and Clefairy creates opportunities for it to set up a Swords Dance and demolish bulky foes like Mudsdale and Jellicent with a +2 Super Sonic Sky Strike (Supersonic Skystrike). Additionally, with Fightinum Z being its other main set, Dodrio can even circumvent counters such as Regirock and Carracosta with All-Out Pummeling. Dodrio can also act as a cleaner with Quick Attack, picking off weakened faster threats like Choice Scarf Swanna and Primeape (It also more notably prevents it from being revenge killed by said faster threats if Dodrio has set up). Although Dodrio is a fantastic wallbreaker and sweeper, it still struggles against faster Choice Scarf users like Togedemaru (Faster mons that can take a QA in general, like Lycan. Most Choice Scarf users revenge kill it easily if it's unboosted, too.). Its poor defensive typing, lack of bulk, BB recoil, and Stealth Rock weakness also mean that it can struggle to switch onto the field, so slow pivots like Lanturn and Mesprit can bring it onto the field safely. Mesprit can also provide Healing Wish and Stealth Rock support for Dodrio, which makes Dodrio even scarier to face.

Mention somewhere its poor bulk + typing often make setting up a bit risky.

Good stuff, QC 1/1
