Doduo | Pokémon guide
Though the real Dodo is extinct, Pokémon’s Doduo is certainly alive and ready for you to catch it. And, just like the bird it’s based on, Doduo isn’t the most gifted at flying. However, this avian creature can still be a useful asset on your team – especially if you learn all about its evolution, strengths and weaknesses, moveset, and locations in every game. Let’s get into it.
