Why doesn't anyone use Agility + Tri Attack Dodrio in Pokemon Unite?

Question

Just like Agility Zacian(which is never used), Agility Dodrio is never used. I know it's used with Tri Attack, but if no one uses Tri attack, no one uses Agility, which is dumb. It looks like all Dodrio in Unite are used with same emblems, held items, battle items, and movesets. The only thing that is different is if you use your central or the opponents central. I'm just asking why everyone uses Drill peck instead of Tri attack.

because drill peck is better? it's really not that difficult

It IS difficult. Just because drill peck shoves you doesn't mean it's an obvious choice. I'm looking up the unite database and it says that when the gauge is not full, it shoots a projectile. I know that drill peck does the same measly attack without the full gauge but if drill peck with the full gauge just pushes you and makes it longer and reduces damage, and tri attack shooting three projectiles while having the next basic attack heal you, I would honestly think that tri attack is stronger.

Often I found you could just shove past the opponent with Drill Peck, which you can’t with try attack, so yeah

What if you get ambushed

---

Hmm, that’s up to the player, Dodrio’s frail, the same could be said with tri attack, honestly, you have better chances getting out with drill peck, if your not dead

---

What I mean by ambushed is if you drill peck into an ambush

---

Ummmmm, either hope for the best you survive or don’t in the first place. But then again, drill peck does use your speed meter…

Tri attack doesn't make your chances of winning down is what i'm saying

Answer 1

I asked this question on the Pokemon Unite subreddit, and it seems that the Tri Attack build provides less damage and utility as a whole.

Jump kick has a shorter CD, has some short CC, can go over walls with no boosted attack, and because of all of that is somewhat better for recovering from an opposing stun or slow effect. Plus it deals damage

Tri Attack doesn't let you deal the most overall damage (on account of it only being multi-hit at its weakest), which can be a con against a moderately large group since there's too much HP to work on.

Why isn't Tri Attack/Agility Dodrio used more often? (Reddit)
