Pidgeotto(JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon that made its first appearance in the first generation games Red and Blue. It evolves into Pidgeot starting at level 36.
Physiology and Behavior[]
Pidgeotto is a raptor-like avian Pokémon. It is covered with brown feathers, has a cream-colored face, underside, and flight feathers. It has a crest of pinkish-red feathers on its head and black, angular markings behind its black eyes. The plumage of its tail has alternating red and yellow feathers with ragged tips. Pidgeotto's beak and legs are pink. Two of its toes point forward, while one points backward. Additionally, it has powerful, sharp talons that it uses to grasp prey.
Pidgeotto is a powerful flier capable of carrying prey several miles to its nest. It has amazing vision, which helps it locate preferred prey Pokémon such as Exeggcute and Magikarp. The anime has also depicted it preying on Caterpie. Pidgeotto claims a sprawling territory of more than 60 miles (100 kilometers), which it defends fiercely. Its nest is usually in the center of its territory and it circles its territory throughout the day, looking out for food and intruders. It is most often found in temperate forests.
Appearances[]
Main Pokémon games[]
Other Pokémon games[]
Pokémon Magikarp Jump: A Pidgeotto may appear as part of several events, where it will carry away the player's Magikarp when it jumps (and thereby force it to retire). Several Pidgeotto are also seen flying in the background of Magikarp's 100m and higher jumps.
In the anime[]
Ash Ketchum caught a Pidgeotto in Ash Catches a Pokémon, which also marked the species' debut. It stayed as a member of Ash's team until Pallet Party Panic, where it evolved into Pidgeot and was released to protect a flock of wild Pidgey and Pidgeotto.
