Doduo

Description

Doduo is a Basic Colorless Pokémon card numbered 45 in the 2010 HS—Undaunted expansion. Designed by Yukiko Baba, this card belongs to the Pokémon Trading Card Game, offering collectors a straightforward entry point into the set's roster. With 50 HP, Doduo serves as an early-game presence, utilizing simple mechanics to support deck strategies. The card features two distinct attacks that highlight the creature's dual-natured design. "Colorless Peck" deals 10 damage for a single energy cost, providing a reliable low-risk option during the initial turns. The more potent "Double Headstrike" requires two energy and deals 50 damage, but introduces a risk-reward element: the player must flip two coins, and if either lands on tails, the attack fails entirely. This mechanic adds a layer of unpredictability that defines early-stage gameplay. Collectors appreciate Doduo for its role in the HS—Undaunted series, which expanded the Pokémon TCG landscape with new strategies and character interactions. As a Common rarity card, it is accessible for building complete sets, making it a staple for completionists. The card’s Pokédex number is 84, and its retreat cost is 1, allowing for flexible positioning on the bench. While it may not be a powerhouse in competitive play, its simplicity and historical place in the 2010 release make it a valuable addition to any collection.
