Bidoof evolves into Bibarel, which is an absolute S-tier HM holder for the games with HMs in them. We stan a toothy king.

Smogon once banned Bidoof from Ubers — then the most powerful tier of competitive Pokemon — because its hidden ability (which raised one random stat per turn) could basically make it unstoppable with the right RNG.
Right now it’s legal in “Anything Goes,” which is the tier they had to create because Mega Rayquaza is just too damn powerful.
