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 its 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 if it accelerates for long enough, which is incredibly rare. It has keen eyes that allow it to see Magikarp from a distance of 3,300 feet (1,000 meters) in the air.

Behavior

Pidgeot are normally calm and confident in their abilities. It has many powerful attacks, and its plumage is often described as beautiful, making it a popular choice for skilled Trainers. Pidgeot may also spread its wings widely to intimidate enemies.

Habitat

Pidgeot typically dwell in forests with thick growth and large trees. It can most likely be found in Kanto and Johto.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Pidgeot seems to primarily subsist on a diet of Bug-type 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.

In the anime

Major appearances

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 Pidgeot 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.

Other

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.

Falkner of the Violet City Gym owns a Pidgeot as his main Pokémon. He uses it in his Gym battle against Ash in Fighting Flyer with Fire, but it was defeated by his Charizard, giving Ash the Zephyr Badge.

Pidgeot is also owned by the Coordinator Solidad, and helped her defeat May in the Kanto Grand Festival.

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

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.

Multiple Pidgeot also appeared in The Power of One.

A Pidgeot appeared in Beauty and the Breeder where it participated in a Pokémon beauty contest.

Trivia

  • Prior to Generation IV, Pidgeot and its evolutionary line were the only Pokémon capable of learning FeatherDance through leveling up.
  • Pidgeot originally had an extra "t" in its name, but it was dropped.
  • Pidgeot is depicted with red and yellow tail feathers in its official Generation I artwork, as opposed to the red only from its official Generation III artwork. This discrepancy is expressed in numerous ways in Pidgeot's in-game sprites and anime depictions.
  • When rebattling Gym Leaders in HeartGold and SoulSilver, both Falkner and Blue have a Pidgeot as their highest leveled Pokémon.
    • Coincidentally, Falkner is the first Gym Leader while Blue is the last.
  • Pidgeot is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 469.
  • In the Pokémon Metal Taz, Pidgeot is mistakenly named Pidgeotto, the name of its pre-evolution.

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, osprey or a falcon. In particular, its Shiny form may be referencing a Golden Eagle. Its eye markings strongly resemble the Sun/Sky gods of Egyptian mythology; Ra and Horus.

Name origin

Pidgeot and Pigeot are combinations of a pigeon and jet (referring to its great speeds).
