When would Dedenne really be of use? Apart from itself there isn't a pokemon that accumulates a meaningful amount of damage counters so you'd be better of using Dodrio's attack when it's at say 10HP left. I'd suggest playing a different basic Tera to make Azumarill your main attacker, stick with the ''pain'' engine and then adding the anti damage counter stadium to avoid getting board wiped by a Dragapult. I like the angle with the Dodrio's tho, haven't seen them in a while
