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.

Doduo isn't really a sweeper, it's a wallbreaker.

Vullaby is one of the best teammates for Doduo, as together they form a Flying spam able to deal with a bug chunk of the metagame, as well as dealing with each other's checks and counters.

This sentence is kinda phrased oddly. Maybe point out that Doduo wallbreaks and then Vullaby can with one of it's boosting sets.

Looks fine otherwise, great job!

this was more than 300 characters over the limit, managed to shorten it to around 1200. i couldnt find much to take off to make it just a bit shorter, so maybe take out the least useful bit of info. 1/1 also sorry for stealing all these lol!
