Bidoof (Japanese: ビッパ Bipper) is a Normal-type Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Bidoof are small brown rodent-like creatures with large front teeth which they use for gnawing on wood. They have tufts of fur on their tails and a ring of them on their faces. They also have slightly webbed paws.

Gender differences

The tail of a male Bidoof consists of five tufts of fur, while the tail of a female only has three.

Special abilities

Behavior

Bidoof need to constantly gnaw on hard substances to keep their teeth ground down, since they grow constantly. Without something to gnaw on, they become violent because of the pain and inconvenience the unwieldy growing teeth cause.

Habitat

Bidoof build their nests along the side of bodies of water.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Bidoof feed mainly on seeds, roots, and plants. Occasionally they eat tree bark.
