Dodrio · Jungle, what to know.
About the Dodrio card
Dodrio is card 34 of 64 in Jungle, released in June 1999, an Uncommon. It is a Stage 1 Colorless-type with 70 HP.
As a Stage 1, it evolves from Doduo, which places Dodrio deeper in its line and means most collectors hold it alongside the cards it evolves from.
Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita. Arita painted the Base Set Charizard and much of the early holo run, and his work has a painterly weight that set the visual tone of the Wizards era.
The Pokédex entry printed on Dodrio reads: "Uses its three brains to execute complex plans. While two heads sleep, one head stays awake."

What is Dodrio worth?
Dodrio is an Uncommon, so raw copies are inexpensive and easy to find. The value is in condition: a genuine PSA 10, especially 1st Edition, can still reach a surprising figure for an otherwise common card. The live price above breaks it down by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Jungle shipped in 1st Edition and Unlimited, with no Shadowless print. The Edition 1 stamp under the artwork separates the scarcer 1st Edition Dodrio from the Unlimited copy. The set also has the famous No Symbol error from its first print run, which adds a premium when the lower-right set symbol is missing.
Grading and condition
Dodrio grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Dodrio
Raw copies of Dodrio are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Dodrio is the practical move.
Three prints, three markets.
Edition 1 stamp under the artwork. Trades above Unlimited in matching grade.
No stamp. The standard, more affordable print.
Early first-run print missing the lower-right set symbol. Carries a premium.
