Pidgey (Japanese: ポッポ Poppo) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves into Pidgeotto starting at level 18, which evolves into Pidgeot starting at level 36.

Biology

Pidgey is a small, plump-bodied avian Pokémon. It is primarily brown with a cream-colored face, underside, and flight feathers. On top of its head is a short crest of three tufts. The center crest feathers are brown and the outer two tufts are cream-colored. Just under its crest are its narrow, brown eyes. Angular black marking extend from behind its eyes down its cheeks. It has a short, stubby beak and feet with two toes in front and one in back. Both its beak and feet are a grayish-pink. It has a short, brown tail made of three feathers.

Pidgey has an extremely sharp sense of direction and homing instincts. It can travel straight back to its nest regardless of how far away they might have flown. It is a docile Pokémon and generally prefers to flee from its enemies rather than fight them. By flapping its wings rapidly, it can whip up dust clouds and create whirlwinds to protect itself and flush out potential prey. Gust and Feather Dance are its former signature moves. Pidgey is very common throughout its range and can often be seen in meadows and temperate forests. Ekans and Sneasel are natural predators of Pidgey. Pidgey preys on Seedot.

Trivia

According to the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Pidgey was originally going to be named Pidge.
Pidgey shares its category with Spearow, Natu, and Rookidee. They are all known as the Tiny Bird Pokémon, though Natu has also been called the Little Bird Pokémon.
Pidgey is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 251.
In the anime, Pidgey is erroneously depicted with four talons on each foot, as opposed to three.
Pidgey has the shortest cry of any Pokémon, being only 0.181 of a second long.

Origin

Despite its name, Pidgey more closely resembles various passerine birds such as sparrows, chickadees, waxwings, and wrens than it does a pigeon. However, there have been references in the anime to "Pidgey Mail", which alludes to homing pigeons. Its habit of kicking up sand to defend itself may be a reference to dust bathing.

Name origin

Pidgey may be a corruption of pigeon or a combination of budgie, chickadee, and pudgy (small and plump).

Poppo may be a shortening of ポッポッポ poppoppo (the sound pigeons make).

 ===Origin===
-Despite its name, Pidgey more closely resembles a {{wp|Old World sparrow|sparrow}}, a {{wp|cedar waxwing}}, or a {{wp|Carolina wren}} than a {{wp|Columbidae|pigeon}}. However, there have been some references to Pidgey Mail, alluding to {{wp|homing pigeon}}s. Its {{pkmn|category}}, "tiny bird", added to the sound of the end of its name, could suggest that Pidgey is also based on a {{wp|chickadee}}. However, it and its evolved forms seem to have more traits related to {{wp|osprey}}s than pigeons or chickadees.
+Despite its name, Pidgey more closely resembles various {{wp|passerine}} birds such as {{wp|Old World sparrow|sparrow}}s, {{wp|chickadee}}s, {{wp|waxwing}}s, and {{wp|wren}}s than it does a {{wp|Columbidae|pigeon}}. However, there have been [[EP164|references]] in the anime to "Pidgey Mail", which alludes to {{wp|homing pigeon}}s. Its habit of kicking up {{m|Sand Attack|sand}} to defend itself may be a reference to {{wp|dust bathing}}.
 ====Name origin====
-Pidgey may be a corruption of ''{{wp|pigeon}}'' or a combination of ''{{wp|Budgerigar|budgie}}'' (a type of bird), ''{{wp|chickadee}}'' (a type of bird), or ''pudgy'' (referring to its plump physique).
+Pidgey may be a corruption of ''{{wp|pigeon}}'' or a combination of ''{{wp|Budgerigar|budgie}}'', ''{{wp|chickadee}}'', and ''pudgy'' (small and plump).
-Poppo may be derived from the onomatopoeia of the sound a pigeon makes: ポッポッポ ''poppoppo''.
+Poppo may be a shortening of ポッポッポ ''poppoppo'' (the sound pigeons make).
