In the anime

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.

Falkner of the Violet City Gym owns a Pidgeot.

In Hoenn Alone, an Officer Jenny used a Pidgeot to help locate Ash's Pikachu after it was stolen by Team Rocket.

A Pidgeot is used in PokéRinger Contest.

A Pidgeot was owned by Sir Aaron in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. Also, Mew transformed into a Pidgeot in the movie.

One is also owned by the coordinator Solidad.

In A Staravia is Born!, a Pidgeot helps Ash and his friends to rescue some Flying Pokémon from Team Rocket.

In the manga

In Pokémon Special, Green owns a Pidgeot that was one of the earliest members of his team. It now resides in the Viridian Gym as one of its defenders.

In Pokémon Zensho, Shigeru had a Pidgeot he used to attack Satoshi while he was flying on his Charizard.

Trivia

  • Pidgeot originally had an extra "t" in its name, but it was dropped.
  • There is an error on Pidgeot's Generation II and Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald backsprites. The 'hair' on its head is shorter than it is on the front sprite.
  • It is one of the few Pokémon whose shiny sprites changed colors; in Generation II, Pidgeot's shiny was all green with peach tail/feathers, in Generation III the whole body changed to gold.

Origin

Despite its name, its appearance and behavior do not resemble a pigeon so much as that of a bird of prey, particularly an eagle or 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 - Combination of Taube, German for pigeon and the English word boss.
  • 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'.
