Churine and Doredia have the distinction of being the only pure Grass types that are always female. Probably the most interesting thing about Doredia is that she's the only non-Bug-type Pokemon that can learn Butterfly Dance, which raises special attack and speed, complementing her stats nicely. Like Erufuun, it's worth thinking about a combination of status and offensivemoves for Doredia. Sleep Powder is always a good option, especially since putting your enemy to sleepcan help give you time to boost your stats with Butterfly Dance.
