- 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'.
