Doduo @ Berry Juice / Life Orb
Ability: Early Bird
Level: 5
EVs: 236 Atk / 236 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Brave Bird
- Knock Off
- Jump Kick
- Quick Attack / Return
Doduo is a prevalent Flying-type in the metagame due to its high offensive capabilites, which allow it to break entire teams with STAB Brave Bird and coverage moves. Doduo can choose between longevity with Berry Juice to mitigate recoil damage or further offensive presence with Life Orb, with the cost of getting easily crippled. It can choose to run Quick Attack to pick up KOs on weakened foes or Return to hit Pokemon that usually can handle Brave Bird stronger. Vullaby is one of the best teammates for Doduo, as together they form a Flying spam core able to deal with a big chunk of the metagame, with Doduo wallbreaking and then Nasty Plot Vullaby being able to sweep, as well as dealing with each other's checks and counters. Doduo's weakness to Stealth Rock means that a hazard remover such as Snivy or Staryu is always welcome to mitigate this problem. Fighting-types such as Mienfoo and Timburr allow Doduo to better sweep by removing Pawniard, Ferroseed, and Onix. Lastly, a Ground-type such as Diglett or Mudbray acts as a good teammate for Doduo by removing Electric-types such as Magnemite and Chinchou, benefiting also from Doduo's ability to deal with Grass-types such as Snivy and Foongus.
