LC CB Doduo [DONE!!!!]

[Bella]

[OVERVIEW]
Doduo is one of LC's most nuclear threats thanks to a naturally high Attack stat compounded with Choice Band, allowing it to OHKO the majority of the tier. Doduo's great Speed stat allows it to reach 18 Speed, which is great for the tier, and it even has Quick Attack to reliably revenge kill faster offensive foes like Diglett and Abra. Doduo's useful Flying typing also prevents it from being trapped by Trapinch and Diglett, making it difficult to revenge kill with these two. Nonetheless, Doduo is not without its flaws. While it is extremely powerful, its poor bulk means that if it can't OHKO an opposing Pokemon, it is likely to be OHKOed back. Doduo is also extremely prediction reliant, because if it does not choosethe right move, Ghost-types like Gastly and Duskull easily wall it. Finally, while Doduo's Speed tier is great, being outsped by common threats like Abra, Diglett, Staryu, and Elekid can prevent it from completely steamrolling the opposing team.

[SET]
Choice Band (Doduo) @ Choice Band
Level: 5
Ability: Early Bird
EVs: 236 Atk / 236 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Double-Edge
- Drill Peck
- Quick Attack
- Hidden Power Ground / Hidden Power Grass

[SET COMMENTS]
Double-Edge is Doduo's strongest option, allowing it to OHKO threats like Wailmer, Trapinch, and Cubone, although its recoil can be troublesome. Drill Peck is Doduo's best option against Ghost-types like Gastly and Duskull, allowing it to not be completely walled by them as well as letting it target Pokemon like Exeggcute and Cacnea. Quick Attack is a valuable priority move, letting Doduo pick off weakened faster threats like Diglett and Abra. Hidden Power Ground gives Doduo coverage for Pokemon like Larvitar and Magnemite, although Hidden Power Grass is an option to specifically target and OHKO Onix, which otherwise completely counters Doduo.

Although Doduo fits on practically every team, it is a particularly great fit on teams looking for a strong physical attacker that can create holes in the opposing team. Trappers like Diglett and Trapinch can remove faster threats like Elekid and Voltorb that Doduo is helpless against. Pokemon like Porygon and Snubbull can just barely survive Doduo's Double-Edge and threaten to KO it back or status it, so Spikes setters like Cacnea and Pineco thar can set up Spikes to provide chip damage on these two are extremely appreciated. Checks to Ghost-types like Porygon and Pursuit Houndour can give Doduo an easier time breaking through teams. While fast, Doduo still gets outsped by multiple Pokemon in the metagame like Abra, Diglett, Elekid, and Staryu. Porygon thus makes an excellent partner, as it can spread paralysis for Doduo and trap Diglett.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
While much more niche, a Substitute set with Liechi Berry and Flail is a possibility, catching foes switching into Doduo off guard. Sky Attack can be run to OHKO Koffing, Duskull, and Porygon if Doduo opts for an Adamant nature, although it is extremely prediction reliant and requires a charge turn. Sitrus Berry can be opted over Choice Band, as Drill Peck + Double-Edge with Sitrus Berry can get surprise KO's on Koffing and Porygon.

Checks and Counters
===================
**Faster offensive threats**: Pokemon like Abra, Elekid, and Staryu all outspeed and OHKO Doduo with their STAB moves, while Diglett only needs slight chip from Double-Edge to KO it with Rock Slide. However, Doduo can KO all of them with Quick Attack after slight chip.

**Ghost- and Rock-types**: Ghost-types like Gastly and Duskull and Rock-types like Anorith and Onix can switch into Doduo's Double-Edge and threaten an OHKO back or use it as setup fodder.

**Porygon, Snubbull, and Koffing**: Porygon, Snubbull, and Koffing can all take an attack from Doduo and attempt to OHKO it or cripple it with status in return, making them an annoyance.

Doduo is one of LC's most nuclear threats thanks to a naturally high Attack stat compounded with a Choice Band, allowing it to OHKO the majority of the tier. It's great Speed stat also allows to reach 18 speed which is great for the tier and Doduo even has Quick Attack to reliably revenge kill faster offensive foes like Diglett and Abra. Doduo's useful Flying-type also prevents it from being trapped from Trapinch and Diglett, making it difficult to revenge kill with these two. Nonetheless, Doduo is not without its flaws. While it is extremely powerful, its poor bulk means that if it can't OHKO an opposing Pokemon it is likely to be OHKOd back. Doduo is also extremely prediction reliant, as if it does not click the right move Pokemon like Gastly, Chinchou, and the rare Onix can easily wall it Chinchou is still taking massive damage from Drill Peck, I wouldn't say that its walling it, and Onix resists both its STABs so I don't think it fits in a section talking about prediction reliance. I would mention Duskull and Gastly as the main ones for this. Finally, while its speed tier is great, being outsped by common threats like Abra, Diglett, Staryu, and Elekid can prevent Doduo from completely steamrolling the opposing team.

[SET COMMENTS]
Double-Edge is Doduo's most spammable strongest option, allowing it to OHKO threats like Wailmer, Trapinch, and Cubone, although its Recoil can be troublesome. Drill Pick is Doduo's best option against Ghost-types like Gastly and Duskull, allowing it to not be completely walled by them as well as letting it target Pokemon like Exeggcute and Cacnea. Quick Attack is valuable priotity, letting Doduo pick off weakened faster threats like Diglett and Abra. Hidden Power Ground gives Doduo coverage into Pokemon like like Chinchou and Houndour without having to deal with recoil from Double-Edge Larvitar and Magnemite (HP Ground is used to be able to hit Larvitar and Magnemite mainly, since they will both be OHKOd by it, I don't think the recoil aspect is relevant), although Hidden Power Grass is an option to specfically target and OHKO Onix, who otherwise completely counters Doduo, although it relies on Doduo's poor Special Attack.

Although Doduo fits on practically every team, it is a particularly great fit on teams looking for a strong physical attacker who can create holes into the opposing team. Pokemon like Porygon and Snubbul can just barely survive Doduo's double edge and threaten to KO it back or status it, so Spikes setters like Cacnea and Pineco who can set up Spikes to provide chip damage on these two are extremely appreciated. Checks to Ghost-types like Porygon or Pursuit Houndour can give Doduo an easier time to break through teams. While fast, Doduo still gets outsped by multiple Pokemon in the metagame like Abra, Diglett, Elekid, and Staryu. Porygon thus makes an excellent partner; it can spread paralysis for Doduo and countertrap Diglett. You should elaborate more on why Diglett is a good partner, as well as Trapinch, because of their ability to trap and remove faster threats like Elekid and Voltorb

Other Options
=============
While much more niche, a Substitute set with Liechi Berry and Flail is a possibility, catching opponents off guard switching in to Doduo. Sky Attack can be ran to give a much more powerful STAB move over Drill Peck OHKO Koffing and Duskull, although it is extremely prediction reliant. Adament Sky Attack will also OHKO Porygon and can be mentioned

A Sitrus Berry set is worth mentioning here, since Drill Peck into Double Edge can get surprise KO's on Koffing and Porygon

Checks and Counters
===================
**Faster offensive threats**: Pokemon like Abra, Elekid, and Staryu all outspeed and OHKO Doduo with their STAB moves, while Diglett only needs slight chip from Double-Edge to KO with Rock Slide. However, Doduo can OHKO KO all of them with Quick Attack after slight chip.

**Ghost- and Rock-types**: Ghost types like Gastly and Duskull and Rock-types like Anorith and Onix can switch in to Doduo's Double-Edge and threaten an OHKO back or use it as setup fodder.

**Paralysis**: Paralysis from Pokemon like Elekid and especially Porygon completely cripples Doduo, making it less offensively threatening and making it get OHKOd by most of the metagame. I don't think this is very necessary, Doduo is not staying in a on a threat that can paralize it if Doduo can't KO it

**Porygon, Snubbull, and Koffing**: All three of these Pokemon can take an attack from Doduo and attempt to OHKO it or cripple it with Status in return, making them be an annoyance.;

Sky Attack can be run to OHKO Koffing and Duskull and Porygon if Doduo opts for an Adamant nature, although it is extremely prediction reliant i would also mention that that sky attack takes 1 turn to recharge since the meta is so fast paced and like you mention earlier doduo is frail it usually died after the sky attack. A Sitrus Berry can be opted over a Choice Band, as Drill Peck + Double Edge with Sitrus Berry can get surprise KO's on Koffing and Porygon.
