Pokédex entries

This Pokémon was unavailable prior to Generation I.
Generation I Red A bird that makes up for its poor flying with its fast foot speed. Leaves giant footprints. Blue Yellow Its short wings make flying difficult.

Generation II Gold By alternately raising and lowering its two heads, it balances itself to be more stable while running. Silver It races through grassy plains with powerful strides, leaving footprints up to four inches deep. Crystal It lives on a grassy plain where it can see a long way. If it sees an enemy, it runs away at 60 mph. Stadium 2 By alternately raising and lowering its two heads, it balances itself to be more stable while running.
Generation III Ruby Doduo's two heads never sleep at the same time. Its two heads take turns sleeping, so one head can always keep watch for enemies while the other one sleeps.

Trivia

• Doduo's English name was originally going to be the same as the Japanese one, "Dodo".
• Strangely, Doduo can learn Fly despite it having no wings that can be seen.

Origin

Despite its name, it seems like it has more in common with ostriches than dodos. It also seems to show some similarity to the extinct flightless bird, the Moa.

Name origin

Doduo's name seems to be a combination of dodo, an extinct, flightless bird, and duo, meaning a pair. Its Japanese name is simply Dodo.

In other languages

• German: Dodu
• French: Doduo
• Korean: 두두 Dodo
