Dodrio (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

}}

'''Dodrio''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドードリオ''' ''Dodorio'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==Biology==

Each head has its own working brain and distinct personality, representing and expressing sorrow, anger and joy respectively. Despite being separate, it has the innate ability to use all three of its brains to collect data, formulate and then execute complex plans and strategies. However, on occasion it may over think and analyze a situation, causing itself to be immobilized and unable to carry out any action whatsoever. Being separate individuals on the same body, the heads are well known to squabble with one another. Often they will continue to bicker until they, or at least one of the heads gets to eat. This satisfies the other two heads, quelling them and temporarily ending their infighting. Another adaption it has acquired is the ability to have at least one head alert at all times. While two are asleep, one will stand guard and look out for any approaching enemies. Extreme caution is advised when all three heads are facing separate directions. It is in this state that it is the most dangerous, and going near it may result in a severe pecking.

==In the anime==

Dodrio's first major appearance was in ''[[EP033|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 {{p|Ponyta}}, after it evolved into {{p|Rapidash}}.

Dodrio served as mounts for the Diglett thieves in the episode, ''[[EP218|Plant It Now...Diglett Later]]''.

A group of Dodrio were used in ''[[DP072|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part Two]]'' by {{Ash}}, [[Kellyn]], {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} to get to the [[Aura Sphere Riolu|Riolu]] that [[J]] had kidnapped.

Dodrio also appeared in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'' and ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''.

A Dodrio appeared in ''[[XY053|A Race for Home!]]''.

===Evolution===

* Dodrio's National Pokédex number is the whole number portion of its weight in kilograms. As of [[Generation V]], this is a unique characteristic. However, {{p|Slowpoke}} and {{p|Scyther}} share the distinction when considering their respective weights in pounds.

* Not including the intro video, Dodrio was the first Pokémon to appear in the flesh in the anime (all others before that were either dreamt of by {{Ash}}, or else shown on the TV in his room).

* Dodrio is featured in the [[Generation III]] wireless mini-game, [[Dodrio Berry Picking]], where it is required that players own a Dodrio to be able to play.

* Before [[Generation IV]], the necks of normal Dodrio were beige (which became the female neck color), while its {{p|Doduo|pre-evolution's}} necks were black (which became the male neck color).
