Pidgeot (Japanese: ピジョット Pigeot) is a dual-typed Normal/Flying Pokémon. It is the fully evolved form of Pidgey, one of the most common Pokémon in the Generation I and Generation II games.

Pidgeot can come with the ability Keen Eye, which prevents accuracy reduction, or the ability Tangled Feet, which increases evasion when Pidgeot is confused. Pidgeot evolves from Pidgeotto starting at level 36.

Ash Ketchum had a Pidgeot that he captured as a Pidgeotto early in his journey. After a single battle with an aggressive Fearow, Pidgeot left Ash's party to watch over a local flock of Pidgey and Pidgeotto. Ash promised to return for it someday, but so far he has not kept that promise.

In Mewtwo Strikes Back, a Pidgeot was captured and cloned by Mewtwo. It was referred to as a Pidgeotto due to a dubbing error.

A Pidgeot belonging to Rudy appeared in Misty Meets Her Match.

In Bound for Trouble, Pidgeot that were twice their normal size appeared. Their size was due to there being excessive quantities of food on one of the Orange Islands. One of these oversized Pidgeot snatches up Meowth and Pikachu when they got tethered together.

Trivia

• Pidgeot originally had an extra "t" in its name, but it was dropped.
• There is an error on Pidgeot's Generation II and Generation III backsprites. The 'hair' on its head is shorter than it is on the front sprite.

Origin

Despite its name, its appearance and behavior do not resemble a pigeon so much as that of a bird of prey, particularly an osprey.

Name origin

Its name may just be a variation of pigeon, but depending on how one pronounces it, the word jet may be incorporated into its name.

In other languages

• German: Tauboss
• French: Roucarnage - Roucoule means coo, and carnage is the same as in English.
• Korean: 피죤투 Pijontu
• Chinese (Taiwan): 比雕 Bî Diao - Transliteration of the first part of its Japanese name, Pigeot. The last character means eagle.
• Chinese (Hong Kong): 大比鳥 Dái Bî Nîao - In relation to the name of its pre-evolved form, Pidgeotto, this name literally means 'big Pidgeotto'.
