Meanings
- uncountableThe partnership or strategy in competitive Pokémon involving the Pokémon Dondozo and Tatsugiri in which Tatsugiri activates its Commander ability to enter Dondozo’s mouth, sharply boosting Dondozo’s stats while becoming untargetable.
I can see Dozo solo being troublesome with Yawn etc, but I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around how the Dozogiri combo can function in Reg F with the huge influx of Pokemon faster than boosted Dozogiri and the abundance of Raging Bolt (plus the Fake Out bros).

I'm planning on using Dozogiri for the upcoming Grand Challenge. The only other locked in team member is choice scarfed Trick Gholdengo, the most common Haze pokemon I've seen have been Primarina and Loaded Dice Dragonite, and they have been giving me a ton of problems and I can't quite seem to find any answers to them.
