Kanto#085Original Johto#200Original Hoenn#093Updated Johto#205Central Kalos#095New Hoenn#096Let’s Go Kanto#085Blueberry#002

One of Doduo’s two heads splits to form a unique species. It runs close to 40 mph in prairies.
Let’s Go, Pikachu! · Let’s Go, Eevee!
It collects data and plans three times as wisely, but it may think too much and fall into a state of immobility.
HeartGold
When DODUO evolves into this odd breed, one of its heads splits into two. It runs at nearly 40 mph.
Diamond · Pearl · Platinum · Black · White · Black 2 · White 2
Uses its three brains to execute complex plans. While two heads sleep, one head is said to stay awake.
LeafGreen
An odd species that is rarely found. The three heads respectively represent joy, sadness, and anger.
FireRed · Y
A peculiar Pokémon species with three heads. It vigorously races across grassy plains even in arid seasons with little rainfall.
Emerald
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.
Sapphire · Alpha Sapphire
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.
Ruby · Omega Ruby
An enemy that takes its eyes off any of the three heads--even for a second--will get pecked severely.
Crystal · X
If one of the heads gets to eat, the others will be satisfied, too, and they will stop squabbling.
Silver · SoulSilver
It collects data and plans three times as wisely, but it may think too much and become immobilized.
Gold
One of DODUO's 2 heads splits to form a unique species. It runs close to 40 MPH in prairies.

Uses its three brains to execute complex plans. While two heads sleep, one head stays awake.
