Dolliv
Say it: DO-lli-v
Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Dolliv is the Olive Pokémon — Grass and Normal middle stage between Smoliv and Arboliva. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Arboliva — not a finished raid attacker. Grass/Normal hits Water, Ground, and Rock well; Fire, Ice, Fighting, Poison, Flying, and Bug punish it. Evolve Smoliv up the line.
Say it: DO-lli-v

Against Dolliv, lead with Fire, Ice, Fighting, Poison, Flying, or Bug. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
