Pidgeotto (Japanese: ピジョン Pigeon) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon.

It evolves from Pidgey starting at level 18 and evolves into Pidgeot starting at level 36.

Biology

Pidgeotto is a raptor-like avian Pokémon. It is covered with brown feathers, and has a cream-colored face and underside. It has a crest of pinkish-red feathers on its head and black, angular markings behind its eyes. The plumage of its tail has alternating red and yellow feathers with ragged tips. Its beak and legs are pink, and it has powerful, sharp talons that it uses to grasp prey.

Pidgeotto is a powerful flier capable of carrying prey several miles to its nest. It has amazing vision, which helps it locate preferred prey Pokémon such as Exeggcute and Magikarp. The anime has also shown it preying on Caterpie. Pidgeotto claims a sprawling territory of more than 60 miles, which it defends fiercely. Its nest is usually in the center of its territory and it circles its territory throughout the day, looking out for food and intruders. It is most often found in forests.

Major appearances

Ash's Pidgeotto

In the anime, Ash caught a Pidgeotto in Ash Catches a Pokémon. Since then, it played a role as one of Ash's main Pokémon. It participated in the Gym battles against Team Rocket, Brock, and Misty, and was frequently used for breaking Team Rocket's Meowth-shaped balloon. However, it was the only one of Ash's Pokémon at the time, save some of his numerous Tauros, not to participate in the Indigo Plateau Conference. It eventually evolved into Pidgeot and left Ash's party to guard other Pidgey and Pidgeotto.
