Doduo

Say it: DO-duo

Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand

Doduo is the Twin Bird Pokémon — Normal and Flying before Dodrio. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Dodrio — not a finished raid attacker. Flying helps against Fighting, Bug, and Grass; Rock hits it for 4×. Catch Doduo from the wild, eggs, or events, then evolve.

Doduo (#084) is a Normal / Flying Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the pre-evolution of Dodrio. Trainers almost never power Doduo for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Dodrio. Against Doduo, lead with Rock, Electric, or Ice. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
