Bidoof is seen as a kind, helpful Pokémon, that is loyal, and will believe his friends, as observed when he was the first to declare that he believed the player's partner's story about {{mdc|Dusknoir|2}}. His lacking experience at exploring and status as one of the most junior members of the guild is a recurring element in his character portrayal, and gets him into trouble multiple times, such as when he reveals the guild members during the player's graduation exam. His big appetite is noted on several occasions, and is documented in {{mdc|Sunflora|2}}'s Oh My Gosh Diary. He often uses the interjection "by golly", and frequently punctuates his dialogue with the phrase "yup yup", which he also includes in the title of his diary, Bidoof's Yup Yup Journal.

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.

:''"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!"''

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's 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…"''
