Dodrio first appeared was in Pokémon, I Choose You!, were it has a brief appearence, while shouting its cry to the rising sun like a rooster. Its next appearance was in The Flame Pokémon-athon. Dario used the three-headed bird to compete in a race, but was beaten by Ash who was riding Lara Laramie's Ponyta.

Dodrio also made a cameo in A Chansey Operation. This Dodrio had its necks tied in a knot.

Falkner, the Gym Leader of Violet City, used a Dodrio to battle Ash in Fighting Flyer with Fire.

Gary Oak's Doduo evolved into a Dodrio some time before Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl. Gary used it to attack Team Rocket's helicopter when they made a second attempt to capture Aerodactyl.

In the manga

Yellow's Doduo evolved into Dodrio in Volume 7 of Pokémon Special. It was seen again in Volume 12, managing to save Pika and Chuchu from a surfing accident.

Pokédex entries

This Pokémon was unavailable prior to Generation I.
Generation I Red Uses its three brains to execute complex plans. While two heads sleep, one head is said to stay awake. Blue Yellow One of Doduo's 2 heads splits to form a unique species. It runs close to 40 MPH in prairies. Stadium The three heads express joy, sorrow and anger as they plan strategy together. When it sleeps, one head remains awake.
Generation II Gold It collects data and plans three times as wisely, but it may think too much and become immobilized. Silver If one of the heads gets to eat, the others will be satisfied, too, and they will stop squabbling. Crystal An enemy that takes its eyes off any of the three heads--even for a second--will get pecked severely. Stadium 2 It collects data and plans three times as wisely, but it may think too much and become immobilized.
Generation III Ruby Watch out if Dodrio's three heads are looking in three separate directions. It's a sure sign that it is on its guard. Don't go near this Pokémon if it's being wary - it may decide to peck you. Sapphire Apparently, the heads aren't the only parts of the body that Dodrio has three of. It has three sets of hearts and lungs as well, so it is capable of running long distances without rest. Emerald A peculiar Pokémon species with three heads. It vigorously races across grassy plains even in arid seasons with little rainfall. FireRed An odd species that is rarely found. The three heads respectively represent joy, sadness, and anger. LeafGreen Uses its three brains to execute complex plans. While two heads sleep, one head is said to stay awake.
Generation IV Diamond When Doduo evolves into this odd breed, one of its heads splits into two. It runs at nearly 40 mph.

Special moves

Trivia

Dodrio can learn Fly despite it not having wings.

Origin

Despite its name, it seems like it has more in common with ostriches than dodos.

Name origin

Dodrio's name seems to be a combination of dodo, an extinct, flightless, bird, and trio, meaning a group of three. The dori in its Japanese name may also come from 鳥 tori, bird, or it may be a combnation of ドードー dodo and トリオ trio because of its three heads.
