No. 084: Doduo

awwwwwww, shit...

Another normal/flying type. Farfetch'd bamboozled me last time, and I forgot to whine about it being another normal/flying type as well.

I guess I'll give that rant right now.

For every possible pokemon type pairing, there should be a pokemon to represent it. After that, there should be some diversity about the pokemon that occupy the typing. One that excells in physical attack, one that excells in special attack, one that is all about the defense, one that is about speed, etc.

But Normal/Flying is filled with a crap-ton of similar pokemon with similar stats. None of them are amazing. They all are about speed and then maybe physical attack. All of them. With paper-thin defenses. It is the same damn pokemon, over and over again. the Pidgey line, the Spearow line, Farfetch'd, and now Doduo rears both his ulgy heads. These feathery assholes are everywhere, squaking and flapping around and making a mess of things.

So look, Doduo, if I pretend Fearow doesn't exist, and that Pidgeot never happened, you'd still look kinda dopey. But as it is, I can't bring myself to give you even a single inch of slack.

Overall: 1/10

  1. Oh c'mon, it can learn Fly without wings! It can get you there in a SINGLE GIGANTIC BOUND. Its evolution knows Tri Attack, each one of its heads spewing a beam of a different deadly element! Plus they're like the Roadrunner, only with more heads which makes them even smarter. Best pokemon ever, 10/10.

  2. Still doesn't change the fact that it's a Normal/Flying type.

  3. Still I wonder about his heads...or anything with more than one head. I agree that the flying type shoulldnt be added, without wings.

  4. Story time: Here in Italy, there was an OFFICIAL Pokémon sticker album, endorsed by Hasbro and Nintendo, that claimed that Doduo was an evolution to Farfetch'd. Just because they're both Normal/Flying and come next to each other on the Pokédex I guess...
