Pidgeotto (Japanese: ピジョン Pigeon) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon.

It evolves from Pidgey starting at level 18, and evolves into Pidgeot starting at level 36.

Biology

Physiology

Pidgeotto is a large raptor-like bird. While its primary color is brown, its plumage is much more elaborate than its pre-evolution Pidgey. Its head-crest is much longer that Pidgey's and is a reddish color. The plumage of its tail is also quite colorful, alternating between red and yellow. Other than its ornamental plumage, its basic coloration is similar to Pidgey, with pinkish-gray feet and black markings around its eye. Pidgeotto has powerful talons to grasp prey so these claws can inflict a lot of damage.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

As well as being a powerful flier, it is capable of carrying prey several miles to its nest. Pidgeotto have an amazing sense of sight and hearing. It's eyesight is so good that is can spot a Caterpie several miles up in the air. Pidgeotto usually have two to three Template:P2, but usually only one survives. They have a tendency to only feed the same chick so that one of them survives.

Behavior

After evolution, Pidgeotto assumes a predatory niche. It claims a sprawling territory (more than 60 miles) and will fiercely defend it from intruders. One must be careful when moving through the territory of a Pidgeotto, while there is no evidence that they would attack a human, their keen eyesight and sharp claws could cause a lot of damage. Although its nest is usually in the center of its territory, it circles its territory throughout the day: looking out for prey and intruders.

Habitat

Pidgeotto typically dwell in forests with thick growth and large trees. They need a lot of space, and are very territorial, so it can be assumed that their territories usually do not overlap.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Pidgeotto, although omnivorous like most Pokémon, appears to prefer preying on other Pokémon such as Exeggcute. Both the anime and Pokémon Special have shown it attempting to eat a main character's Caterpie.

In the anime

In the anime, Pidgeotto played a role as one of Ash Ketchum's Pokémon. It participated in the Gym battles against Team Rocket, Brock and Misty, was frequently used for breaking Team Rocket's Meowth-shaped balloon, and was the only one of Ash's Pokémon at the time, save some of his numerous Tauros, not to participate in the Indigo League Conference. It eventually evolved into Pidgeot and left Ash's party to guard other Pidgey and Pidgeotto.

Vladimir owns a Pidgeotto which knows Aerial Ace. He uses it to demonstrate to other trainers, like Ash and his Swellow, how to use the Template:Type2 attack.

In the manga

In Pokémon Special, Falkner owns a Pidgeotto.

In Electric Tale of Pikachu, Ash gave his Pidgeotto the name of "Walter" and it appeared several times.

Trivia

Origin

Despite its name, its design appears to be less of a pigeon and more of an osprey or other bird of prey.

Name origin

Its name is a corruption of pigeon, a common bird; its Japanese name clearly refers to said species of bird. Its name could also possibly refer to Otto Lilienthal, a pioneer of unpowered heavier-than-air flight.

In other languages

  • German: Tauboga - An extension of Taube, meaning "pigeon".
  • French: Roucoups - Roucoule means coo, and coups most likely means strikes in this context.
  • Korean: 피죤 Pijyon
  • Chinese (Taiwan): 比比鸟 Bî Bî Nîao - Transliteration of the first part of Pidgeotto's Japanese name, Pigeon. The last character literally means bird.
  • Chinese (Hong Kong): 比比鳥 Bî Bî Nîao
