They’ve been around for a while and they may not be the most popular flying type, but they are certainly recognizable! But how much do you really know about the Doduo evolutionary line? Let’s dive into 30 really weird and interesting facts covering all sorts of interesting things about these gen 1 bird creatures. Dodo birds were natives of the eastern parts of Madagascar and as you can tell by these funny creatures, none of them had wings. Funny enough Doduo and Dodrio can actually learn fly in most of the games. Go figure! The Dodo birds were inhabitants of the Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. Eventually humans set foot on the Island and started killing these birds for food. Based on current knowledge the dodo bird became extinct in 1681. That’s a little less than a newborn elephant’s weight. Although they sometimes can be found in scrublands and deserts too, but most commonly in the typical “tall grass” that we all know and love from Pokémon games. This makes it capable of running very long distances without any rest so it’s generally one of the fastest land birds in any game. The three headed evolution can run up to 40mph while Doduo is stated to run up to 60mph. That’s almost as fast as a cheetah’s running speed which usually ranges from 68-80mph. One head is always awake and always vigilant for any sign of danger. The other sleeps for two. Of course they are known to alternate shifts. While the one head controls motor skills and intelligent thoughts, the other is often seen as more of the animalistic or emotional head. Weird, right? Well both of Doduo’s two heads can do the same. Their brains are responsible for collecting data and formulating strategies three times as wisely. However Dodrio has a tendency to over-think which can cause issues, especially if it’s already affected under confusion or a similar status ailment. They represent, joy, sorrow, and anger. The fighting won’t stop until one of them can ultimately get some food. If one head gets to eat, all of them become satisfied and chill out. The rest were either in Ash’s dreams or shown on the TV in his room. Makes you wonder if they did that on purpose! Females have beige colored necks while males usually have black ones. This means that it is alert and on its guard. This is the most dangerous state to approach a Dodrio with and going near it may result in a severe pecking. One theory says that Doduo may have been a mutated Farfetch’d, others say it’s a mix of many bird Pokemon and others claim Doduo is the close cousin of the extinct dodo we all miss so much.
