Body Slam
Drill Peck
Hyper Beam
Agility/Reflect/Mimic
Dodrio can be pretty devastating in both OU and UU. It can lead in OU, outspeeding and OHKOing Jynx with Hyper Beam as well as scaring Exeggutor with Drill Peck. While Exeggutor won't be OHKOd it will be with a CH and Sleep Powder might miss.
He is very frail though and his speed becomes lackluster once you compare him to some of the other OU Pokemon. Since Dodrio won't be going first against Pokemon like Alakzam, Tauros and Starmie, and has terrible defenses and a boltbeam weakness to go with it, it needs more support than Tauros and Snorlax. Dodrio really shines in UU where its speed is much more threatening.
In UU Dodrio is great for hitting those grass types with Drill Peck. It outspeeds Mr. Mime and OHKOs with Hyper Beam, it can stop Amnesia Poliwrath in its tracks. Because of its speed and awesome attack stat its also a very good revenge killer, and with para support even electric Pokemon won't want to get hit by Dodrio.
The 4th move is pretty filler, but I usually run Reflect. In OU it's handy against Tauros and Snorlax, and I once managed to do 60% of damage to a Golem with Reflect. Agility is good if you get paralyzed while Mimic is the usual gamble that might pay off.
