Pidgeot (Japanese: ピジョット Pigeot) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon.

It evolves from Pidgeotto starting at level 36. It is the final form of Pidgey.

Biology

Physiology

Pidgeot bares striking resemblance to Pidgeotto; however, Pidgeot is noticeably larger than is pre-evolution. Its plumage tends to be larger and glossier. The feathers on its head-crest are nearly as long as its body, and are yellow and red. Its tail feathers are red colored. Like its previous evolutions, its underbelly is a tan color, and it has black markings around its eyes.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Pidgeot is a powerful flier, capable of creating whirlwinds strong enough to bend trees. At maximum velocity it can reach speeds of Mach 2. It has keen eyes that allow it to see Magikarp from a distance of 3300 feet in the air.

Behavior

Pidgeot are normally calm and confident in their abilities. It has many powerful attacks, and beautiful plumage, making it a popular choice for skilled trainers.

Habitat

Forest Pokémon

Pidgeot typically dwell in forests with thick growth and large trees.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Pidgeot seems to primarily subsist on a diet of fish and Water-type Pokémon which it fishes out of the water using its high speed and keen senses. However, like all Pokémon, it is also capable of surviving by eating apples and Berries.

Major appearances

In Bound for Trouble, wild 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.

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

Ash's Pidgeot

Ash Ketchum had a Pidgeot that he captured as a Pidgeotto early in his journey during Ash Catches a Pokémon. In Pallet Party Panic!, the same Spearow Ash had thrown a rock at in the first episode returned with its flock, but it had evolved into a Fearow. The flock attacked Ash, so Pidgeotto evolved into Pidegot to battle Fearow. After Pidgeot defeated 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.

Minor appearances

In Mewtwo Strikes Back, a Pidgeot owned by Corey was one of the Pokémon captured and cloned by Mewtwo. It was referred to as a Pidgeotto due to a dubbing error. The Pidgeot clone was seen again in Mewtwo Returns.

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. Its crest 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.
• In Generation II, Pidgeot's tail was shown to have two colors, pink and white. In the official art and the anime, however, it was completely pink. It was changed back to pink in Generation III.
• Pidgeot has two correct pronunciations. Pidg-ee-ot, and Pi-git. Both have been used multiple times in the anime.

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 (pigeon) and the English word boss.
• French: Roucarnage - From roucoule (coo) and English carnage.
• Korean: 피죤투 Pijontu
• Chinese (Taiwan): 比雕 Bî Diao - Transliteration of the first part of its Japanese name, Pigeot. The last character, 雕, 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'.
