Its strongest point is Attack — higher than 83% of species. This is the final form of its line — it does not evolve any further. In defense it has 3 weaknesses, 2 resistances and 2 full immunities at its disposal. Ground and Ghost-type moves do nothing to it at all.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Speed.
Attack and Speed share first place here, so any nature that raises one of them will do. The list of natures shows what each one does.
Which nature to choose
It hits physically: its Attack (110) is 50 points higher than its Sp. Atk. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.
- Jolly +Spe · −SpA Its Speed is higher than 92% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
- Adamant +Atk · −SpA If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.
- Hidden Power and Weather Ball still deal damage based on Sp. Atk. If either of them is going into the set, lowering Sp. Atk is no longer free.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

TCG cards (13)
All Dodrio cards →Dodrio has 13 cards in 13 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.
Breeding
All Egg Groups →Offspring can come from 72 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.
The Egg hatches after 20 cycles, which is roughly 5,400 steps. The exact cycle length depends on the game — newer titles shortened it noticeably — so treat this number as an order of magnitude, not a countdown. Having the Flame Body Ability in your party halves the wait.
