Bleh. Yeah. Drill Peck. I keep forgetting it 'cos I've played more R/S
than any other and never bother raising a Dodrio for anything beyond filling
the Pokedex.
(by the time I get to Doduo, I don't really feel the need
for a Flying 'mon at all, beyond using a Tropius as an HM (Fly, Strength,
Cut and Rock Smash) slave to replace Linoone...)

Endeavor is Normal, as accurate as can be without being a never-miss move,
and 5 PP. What it does is reduce your enemy's HP to the same level as
yours. Learned naturally by Swampert at level 61 (Mudkip @ 46 & Marshtomp @
53) and Swellow at level 28 (Taillow @ 26). It can be bred onto Doduo from
Taillow, and onto Treecko, Corphish and Aron from Mudkip (Aron can also get
it from Treecko).
