Hello there! I'm Professor Spruce, a lifelong Pokémon researcher with a particular fondness for Normal-types. You might call me a bit of a Bidoof enthusiast – those buck teeth, that tenacious spirit! There's a lot more to Bidoof than meets the eye, you know. Speaking of which, you've stumbled upon a question that often sparks debate among trainers: Can Bidoof learn Fly?

The short answer is no, Bidoof cannot learn Fly. Now, I understand this might be disappointing for some aspiring trainers who, like myself, see the hidden potential in this often-underestimated Pokémon. Let me explain the reasoning behind this limitation.

You see, learning a move in the Pokémon world isn't just about willpower or even training. It's intrinsically linked to a Pokémon's biology, typing, and evolutionary lineage.

Let's break it down:


1. Typing: Fly is a **<font color='red'>Flying</font>**-type move. Bidoof is a pure **<font color='red'>Normal</font>**-type Pokémon. This means Bidoof doesn't possess the necessary physiological traits or elemental affinity to manipulate the wind currents needed for flight.


2. Biology: Take a close look at Bidoof. It's built for hard work on the ground – sturdy legs, strong teeth for gnawing wood, a body designed for digging. Its anatomy simply isn't designed for soaring through the skies. Pokémon that can learn Fly typically have wings, lightweight bodies, or aerodynamic features that Bidoof lacks.


3. Movepool: Every Pokémon species has a limited set of moves it can learn, known as its movepool. This movepool is often influenced by its typing and evolutionary line. While Bidoof is a surprisingly versatile learner, mastering moves like Cut, Rock Smash, and Surf through TMs and HMs, Fly has never been part of its known movepool across any generation of Pokémon games.

However, don't let this discourage you from training your Bidoof to its fullest potential! While it may not be soaring through the clouds, a well-trained Bidoof can be a valuable asset to any team. Remember, a trainer's bond with their Pokémon is what truly unlocks their potential.

If you're set on having a Flying-type on your team, there are many other wonderful Pokémon to choose from. But never underestimate the power of a determined Bidoof!
