DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent. I just like examining popular tournament formats.

    Swellow isn't as bad as you think it is. Its not amazing, but it gets guts as a hidden ability, which means with toxic orb, its base 85 attack becomes something closer to base 136, and facade gives it a base power 140 attack with little downside. Add in a stab brave bird to this and a base 125 speed, and you actually have a killing machine. Its not amazing because its coverage is still really limited, and its bulk is pathetic, but Dodrio has those weaknesses too. Also beginning in gen 6, Swellow got a special set too, with scrappy boomburst and heat wave. Sure, its coming off a medicore base 75 special attack, but a base 140 power stab move that can hit ghost types along with anti-steel coverage is pretty solid, and the unpredictability makes it harder to wall.

    I'm surprised no one mentioned Z-Mirror Move. Being able to come in on Golems EQ and use a +2 Tectonic Rage to OHKO it before set up and exposing itself to a Rock Move is amazing! Shiny hunted it and abused it's immunity to EQ and EQ spammers often being weak to the move itself. And after that, Brave Bird, Jump Kick, and Quick Attack are amazing for +2. Bird or Kick everything slower, and Quick Attack anything faster.

    I'd give Dodrio the Reckless ability. Double Edge and Brave Bird get so much better, but then you also have Jump Kick, which just makes it even more threatening. Is Staraptor still a far better Reckless user? Of course, but Reckless would still really help Dodrio.

    @@NeoGraena Yeah, making it the same as another mon makes it stand out less, but if it gives Dodrio more viability, I'd personally be fine with it. And it does still have some cool things it can do that Raptor can't, most notably Knock Off and especially Swords Dance. You even have both Body Slam (if a meta without Return) and Drill Peck for weaker alternatives to Double Edge and Brave Bird if you don't want to kill yourself through Reckless recoil. Plus the 10 base speed points is pretty big, being able to pass the base 100 curve that Staraptor at best ties with as well as outspeeding Garchomp, Enamorus, Iron Treads, Walking Wake (if Booster is for SpAtk raise instead of speed raise), Kartana, and Blacephalon

    Hey I hope this can add to the conversation, I’m sure it can. Btw, I love your work, man. I am a huge, Huge, HUGE fan of the speed stat. It’s what makes a hero out of pokmemon like weavile, jolteon, tauros, and aerodactyl, as well as making the “100 Speed tier” itself such an important factor in the outcome of the match. What it means is that, essentially, if you can bait a hit and pivot to a resistant Pokémon who behaved like those mentioned above, it could resist/be immune to the hit and be able to ko the Pokémon that attacks it on the switch while taking little to no damage. I think that is why there are really no naturally fast, statistically defensive Pokémon.

    Own Tempo on a Pokémon that can learn Thrash... That might not be too bad since Normal type moves can be played against by Rock, Steel, and Ghost types. Yet at the same time, an opponent would never know if it's two turns or three turns on your Thrash since there's no confusion effect to tip them off, so they'd go into their Steel Pokémon after the second turn and boom, Jump Kick to the skull.

    ADV ou is kinda weird, like a lot of the pros play it on ladder so it’s looked at as this paragon of skill, kinda like melee, but so many more Pokémon are viable in it then what you would expect.

    It's kinda sad that it's only good ability was Early Bird. I wonder how well it would have done with something like Reckless or even Stakeout

    Theoretically it could use Thrash to benefit from Tangled Feet's evasion boost to confused Pokémon, but that's way too niche to seriously recommend.
