'''Bidoof''' (Japanese: '''ビッパ''' ''Bippa'') is a [[non-player character]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]]. He is a member of [[Wigglytuff Guild|Wigglytuff's Guild]]. He stars in his own special episode in Explorers of Sky, entitled [[Bidoof's Wish]].

Bidoof lived with his mother, a Bibarel, and his two siblings in a dam before going to train at the guild. He aspired to be the best explorer ever, so he left his hometown to be an apprentice at the [[Wigglytuff's Guild|Guild]]. Bidoof was the newest member of the Guild before the player and their partner came to train, and was always making some sort of mistake. Because of his incompetence, he was only trusted with basic chores and errands.  

Once, on a trip to [[Treasure Town]], Bidoof met a {{p|Snover}} that had been running from some Pokémon. The Snover had a map to [[Star Cave]], which they wound up exploring together. At the end of the cave, Bidoof finds out that Snover had been working with the Pokémon that were chasing him the day before to mug him, but he was saved by the Guild. Wigglytuff finds a way for him to go further in the cave, where he meets {{p|Jirachi}}. After battling a sleeping Jirachi, Bidoof wishes for some new apprentices to join the Guild, who turn out to be the player and their partner.

Bidoof is seen as a kind, helpful Pokémon, though not very experienced at exploring. He can be said to be of a low intelligence, as is evident when he reveals the guild members in the player's "Graduation exam". He is loyal, and will believe his friends, and was the first to declare that he believed the player's partner's story about {{mdc|Dusknoir|2}}. He apparently has a big appetite, according to Sunflora's diary.

His character was fleshed out in [[Bidoof's Wish]], revealing that exploring has been a life long dream. His naivety is shown as he is duped by a band of thieves into being alone with them, giving them the chance to rob him. His goodness is also further proved when he finds {{p|Jirachi}} and is granted a wish. He turns down the opportunity to instantly become a great explorer, and instead wishes for "a {{tt|buddy or two|Revealed as the player character and their partner Pokémon}}" that he could help, show around and give support to. This may explain his reaction when he first meets the player.

In Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, Bidoof was the one who gave the tour to the player and their partner. He taught them much of what they know. On the expedition, Bidoof was grouped with the player and their partner. He, like Sunflora, also kept a diary of events that happened to him throughout the game. Later, during the guild exam, he was the one in charge of covering the hole, and the only guild member who didn't battle the player and their partner, except for the aforementioned duo.

===Diary===

Bidoof keeps a diary which is updated as the player progresses through the game. It also provides some tips on the game and breaks fourth wall once, similarly to Sunflora's diary.

:''"I… I didn't realize it! After you take jobs on the Job Bulletin Board and Outlaw Notice Board…to actually do 'em, you need to use "Take Job" on your Job List! I didn't know that… So I went to dungeons without first activating the jobs with that "Take Job" command, by golly… Oof! It's no wonder why I could never do my jobs once I got to a dungeon… I finally understand why [[Chatot (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)|Chatot]]'s always so upset with me, by golly…"''

:4. '''Exploring with [[Sunflora (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)|Sunflora]]'''

:''"Sunflora is some kind of awesome! Yup yup! I went exploring with Sunflora the other day. It turns out Sunflora's a real expert at fighting in dungeons. When an enemy is just out of reach, she doesn't move toward it! Instead she uses A to launch her regular attack, striking at nothing! Then the enemy usually spends that turn closing the distance on her. And then, on her next turn, she's the first one close enough to hit! Yup yup! She sure knows what she's doing, by golly! Why, I wanted to whoop and holler when I saw her use that trick. So thrilling! Sigh… As for me, I always rush into a fight… That's why I end up being first to get hit! But it's all right, I reckon. I know the way to do it now and can explore better now. Yup yup!"''

:''"Something was sure a surprise the other day! I was checking out the Outlaw Notice Board, when it suddenly stank like rotten sulfur! But then everyone turned and looked at me like I had something to do with it, by golly! I swear! I really had nothing to do with that awful stink, by golly! I know I've been guilty in the past, like that time in my room once…then twice in the Mess Hall and once in the Guildmaster's quarters, but… By golly, I surely am not guilty of anything this time, I swear!"''

:''"There was sort of a scene today! Those Team <player's team> members were denied dinner tonight. They went to bed hungry. I reckon they goofed up something bad to be punished that way. Yup yup! Still…going without dinner's a rotten thing. I know that I surely can't last a night without a full belly. Yup yup! So I decided that I'd save a bit of my dinner so I could share it with them. Turns out that everyone had the same idea! We all save a bit of our dinners, it seems. So we all met up that night, and we talked it over. Yup yup. And we decided we'll share our food with Team <player's team>. We reckon we'll sneak them the food tomorrow morning after the morning briefing. Yup yup! The older apprentice are usually really strict, but it turns out they're awfully nice at heart… Oof… This is making me all emotional, by golly."''

:''"Oof… I'm feeling foggy from not getting my fair share of sleep. I share my room with [[Loudred (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)|Loudred]] and [[List of Wigglytuff Guild members#Corphish|Corphish]], but… Lately, [[List of Wigglytuff Guild members#Croagunk|Croagunk]]'s taken to slipping into our room for some shut-eye every so often. Well, that Croagunk, he usually beds down by that Swap Cauldron of his… But lately he's taken to sleeping here… Just the other day, I was surprised to find Croagunk sleeping nearby, by golly… And then he murmured, "Meh-heh-heh! Morning there, Bidoof!" I mean, I don't want my day to start that way! That surely put a scare in me. Yup yup! Now I can't sleep because that Croagunk might want to hang out again… Oof… P.S. The great [[Dusknoir (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)|Dusknoir]] is sure mighty wise. Not only that, he shows respect to everyone. Even me! By golly, you have to respect someone like that back!"''

:''"Thanks to Croagunk, I haven't been able to get a good night's sleep lately. There's nothing to do if you're awake at night, so I took a stroll through the guild. Yup yup! I glanced in <player's partner> and <player>'s room, but they were deep in sleep, by golly. I reckon they must be exhausted from their daily training, yup yup. I didn't peek into [[List of Wigglytuff Guild members#Chimecho|Chimecho]] and Sunflora's room. That'd be downright rude. Yup yup. Huh, diary? You wanted me to peek? I surely can't do that. It's just not done. Who could live that down? And sneaking into the Guildmaster's room was too scary. So I gave that a pass and kept nosing around elsewhere. Yup yup. Now, that Chatot! By golly, that one gave me quite the start! So ,diary, where'd you reckon that Chatot sleeps at night? Well, surprise, surprise! He sleeps on the top rung of the guild's entry ladder! When I crept nearby, he thought I was trying to run away, by golly… So he wildly attacked me! I'm still sore all over from that, by gosh! P.S. [[Crystal Cave]] sure lived up to its name, being full of crystals and all. It surely was a pretty place! Yup yup. It was so pretty, I couldn't help…helping myself to a crystal! It's my own precious treasure! Yup yup! But when everyone found out about it… All I got was a bunch of grief… Sigh…"''

:''"It's shocking, by golly! I don't rightly understand it…not totally… But Pokémon can come from the future?! Is that even possible? I don't rightly know. But it's what the great Dusknoir claimed, so you gotta reckon there's a grain of truth in it. This is all so confusing that it makes my heard hurt. But I reckon I'd bed focus, yup yup… Because now's the time we need to help get out the word about {{p|Azelf}} and [[Lake trio|his buddies]]. Yup yup! [[Grovyle (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)|Grovyle]]'s scheme can't continue! Yup yup! I have to spread that rumor on thick!"''

:''"Something happened that was half shocking and wholly happy! Yup yup! It's all sorts of amazing, that's for sure! Team <player's team> came back! Even more amazing is that they say they returned…from the future! The story <player's partner> told was about as amazing too… But more than anything… I was overjoyed seeing the two of them back safe where they belong, right here. Yup yup. Yup yup! I was some kind of happy… Sniffle…"''

:''"Team <player's team>! You all have to shine! I surely can't begin to imagine a place called the [[Hidden Land]], but… The two of them together… I'm mighty sure they can stop the planet's paralysis. Yup yup! I'll lend my support from [[Treasure Town]]! Go do it, <player>, <player's partner>, Grovyle, and [[Lapras (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)|Lapras]]! You all do what you can to win!"''

:''"Sniffle… Baby Manaphy had to go back to the sea today… Like Corphish said… I reckon that Manaphy is a Pokémon that rightly has to grow in the sea. Oh, <player> and <player's partner>! I hope that you cheer up! That baby Manaphy won't forget the two of you, not even after a long time, I reckon. Oe of these days, you will be able to see each other again, yup yup. I'll keep it in mind that I should stay cheerful and upbeat around <player> and <player's partner>, yup yup! I just wish that they'd get back to being their usual cheery selves soon, yup yup."''

:''"What…? I'm amazed! I am downright amazed! Yup yup yuppers! Those superfamous and superattractive members of Team Charm… They're at the guild! Yup yup yuppers! But by golly, there's more! Talk of going exploring together came up! I am… over the moon with happiness! Since I have been getting better, if I may say so myself… Why, it wouldn't be out of the question for me to shine, by golly! If I did, maybe Miss {{p|Lopunny}} would be kind enough to give me a cheer… Oof… Waaaah! I'm an embarrassment to myself! I'm beside myself wit embarrassment! Yipes!"''

:''"Yawwwn… Shucks, I am sleepy… I write these entries at night… But, by golly, it's been hard to keep my eyelids peeled… I reckon that goes to show how peaceful it's been of late. Yup yup. Why, it seems like ti's been ages since <player>'s team put a stop to the planet's paralysis. It'd be perfect, I reckon, if… Everyone can be decent to each other… For a long, long time… That's what I think… Yup yup… Zzzz… Zzzzz…"''

:''"Team <player's team> has gone off to a place called the [[Dark Crater]]. Oh, <player> and <player's partner>! You have to be tough, by golly! I've never been much at understanding anything complicated, but… But I know that <player> and <player>'s partner can beat that [[Darkrai (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)|Darkrai]]… And, by golly, I know they'll come back like they've always done! My thoughts go with them, by gosh! They will… They're coming back, sure as the sun's coming up!

:''"So <player> and <player's partner> are back! Back in Treasure Town, by golly! Oof… I'm so glad for this… By golly, I'm overjoyed… They had me so worried… Sniffle… Yup yup, <player> and <player's partner> aren't just rookies to me anymore. They're my friends… My trusted fellow guild members… And they're my heroes. I swear I'll become a first-rate explorer one day! For that…I'll try, try, try, by golly! I gotta catch up to <player> and <player's partner>! That's why I'm gonna keep going, and I hope they will too!"''

* Because [[Bidoof's Wish]] takes place before the story, it is possible for Bidoof's level to decrease, as he can be raised to above 14.

* Bidoof frequently punctuates his dialogue with the phrase "yup yup", which he also includes in the title of his diary.
