==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Pidgeot is an {{wp|bird|avian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with large wings, sharp talons, and a short, hooked beak. Its glossy {{wp|plumage}} is mostly brown with cream-colored underparts and flight feathers. Its head has a decorated crest nearly as long as its body. The center feathers of its crest are yellow, while the outer feathers are red. The fan-like feathers of its tail are red or brown. Its beak and legs are pink, with three forward-facing toes and one backward-facing toe on each foot. Behind each eye is an angular black marking.
Pidgeot bares striking resemblance to {{P|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 {{m|Fly|flier}}, capable of creating {{m|whirlwind}}s strong enough to bend trees. At maximum velocity it can reach {{m|Agility|speeds of Mach 2}}. It has {{a|Keen Eye|keen eye}}s that allow it to see {{p|Magikarp}} from a distance of 3300 feet in the air.


===Behavior===
Pidgeot's powerful wings can stir up windstorms in just a few flaps, and it may spread its wings to intimidate enemies. This Pokémon is capable of flying faster than the speed of sound. Its plumage is often described as beautiful, making it a popular choice for skilled {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. Pidgeot typically dwells in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests}} with thick growth and large trees. It is known to prey on {{p|Magikarp}}, which it can spot from great heights.
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===
In [[Generation III]], {{m|Feather Dance}} was its [[signature move]], but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.
[[Image:Forest.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Pidgeot typically dwell in forests with thick growth and large trees.


===Diet===
===Forms===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Pidgeot can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Pidgeot.


Pidgeot seems to primarily subsist on a diet of fish and {{type2|Water}} 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]].
Pidgeot grows noticeably when it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]], developing a larger body and longer, broader wings. Its wingtips and tail feathers are tipped with cyan, and its cream coloring is now white. Its eyes turn magenta and its pupils turn white. Mega Pidgeot has an even more elaborate crest on its head, with a streamer-like magenta plume extending from a mane of yellow feathers. A magenta feather projects from the front of its crest, with a single magenta highlight on the left side. The crest is sensitive to air currents, acting like a large antenna and stabilizing Mega Pidgeot's flight.<ref name= "Mega">[https://web.archive.org/web/20160323174011/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-pidgeot Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire site | Mega Pidgeot (archived)]</ref> Additionally, its increased wing power allows it to fly for two weeks without rest.

==In the anime==
===Evolution===
[[Image:Ash_pidgeot.jpg|thumb|right|[[Ash's Pidgeot]]]]
Pidgeot evolves from {{p|Pidgeotto}} and is the final form of {{p|Pidgey}}.
[[Ash Ketchum]] had a {{AP|Pidgeot}} that he captured as a Pidgeotto early in his journey. After a single battle with an aggressive {{p|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.


In ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a Pidgeot was captured and cloned by {{p|Mewtwo}}. It was referred to as a Pidgeotto due to a dubbing error.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Pidgeot]]=====
{{Ash}} had a Pidgeot that he {{pkmn2|caught}} as a Pidgeotto early in his {{pkmn|journey}} during ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''. In ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic!]]'', the same {{p|Spearow}} Ash had thrown a rock at in [[EP001|the first episode]] returned with its flock, but it had evolved into a {{DL|Ash's Fearow|In the anime|Fearow}}. The flock attacked Ash, so Pidgeotto evolved into Pidgeot to battle Fearow. After defeating Fearow, Pidgeot left Ash's party to watch over a local flock of Pidgey and Pidgeotto, with Ash promising to come back for it later.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Pidgeot originally had an extra "t" in its name, but it was dropped.
* When rematching Gym Leaders in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, both [[Falkner]] and {{ga|Blue}} have a Pidgeot as their highest-leveled Pokémon.
*There is an error on Pidgeot's [[Generation II]] and [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby/Sapphire]]/{{v2|Emerald}} backsprites. The 'hair' on its head is shorter than it is on the front sprite.
** Coincidentally, Falkner is the first [[Gym Leader]] while Blue is the last.
*It is one of the few Pokémon whose {{shiny2}} 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.
* Mega Pidgeot is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 579.
*Pidgeot was capable of learning {{m|Sky Attack}} in [[Generation I]]. But, for some reason, it could not learn the move again until {{g|Platinum}}.
* Mega Pidgeot is tied with {{p|Drampa}}, {{p|Porygon-Z}}, and {{fd|Ursaluna|Bloodmoon}} {{p|Ursaluna}} for the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
* 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]].
* Mega Pidgeot is the only Mega Evolved Pokémon where its lowest stat (Special Attack, although it is tied with Special Defense) in its base form becomes its highest stat.
 
===Design variations===
Pidgeot is depicted with red-and-yellow tail feathers in its official [[Generation I]] artwork, while the [[Generation III]] artwork depicts red ones only. This discrepancy is expressed in numerous ways in Pidgeot's early in-game [[#Sprites|sprites]]. Additionally, Pidgeot are often depicted with brown tail feathers in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''.

Despite its name, its appearance and behavior do not resemble a pigeon so much as that of a {{wp|bird of prey}}, particularly an {{wp|eagle}} or an {{wp|osprey}}.  
Despite its name, Pidgeot does not resemble a {{wp|pigeon}} so much as a {{wp|bird of prey}} such as an {{wp|osprey}} or an {{wp|Aquila (genus)|eagle}} due to its large size and predatory behavior. Its {{Shiny}} colors in particular resemble a {{wp|golden eagle}}. It also shares some characteristics with various {{wp|passerine}} birds such as {{wp|Old World sparrow|sparrow}}s, {{wp|chickadee}}s, {{wp|waxwing}}s, and {{wp|wren}}s. Its colorful {{wp|crest (feathers)|crest}} is somewhat similar to the crests of {{wp|cockatoo}}s. The black markings around its eyes are reminiscent of {{wp|Ra}} and {{wp|Horus}}, the sun and sky gods of {{wp|Egyptian mythology}} who were depicted with the heads of {{wp|falcon}}s.
 
Mega Pidgeot's crest seems to be inspired by {{wp|punk fashion|punk hairstyles}}.

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

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

Pidgeot can Mega Evolve into Mega Pidgeot using the Pidgeotite.

Biology

Pidgeot is an avian Pokémon with large wings, sharp talons, and a short, hooked beak. Its glossy plumage is mostly brown with cream-colored underparts and flight feathers. Its head has a decorated crest nearly as long as its body. The center feathers of its crest are yellow, while the outer feathers are red. The fan-like feathers of its tail are red or brown. Its beak and legs are pink, with three forward-facing toes and one backward-facing toe on each foot. Behind each eye is an angular black marking.

Pidgeot's powerful wings can stir up windstorms in just a few flaps, and it may spread its wings to intimidate enemies. This Pokémon is capable of flying faster than the speed of sound. Its plumage is often described as beautiful, making it a popular choice for skilled Trainers. Pidgeot typically dwells in temperate forests with thick growth and large trees. It is known to prey on Magikarp, which it can spot from great heights.

In Generation III, Feather Dance was its signature move, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via breeding.

Forms

Pidgeot can Mega Evolve into Mega Pidgeot.

Pidgeot grows noticeably when it Mega Evolves, developing a larger body and longer, broader wings. Its wingtips and tail feathers are tipped with cyan, and its cream coloring is now white. Its eyes turn magenta and its pupils turn white. Mega Pidgeot has an even more elaborate crest on its head, with a streamer-like magenta plume extending from a mane of yellow feathers. A magenta feather projects from the front of its crest, with a single magenta highlight on the left side. The crest is sensitive to air currents, acting like a large antenna and stabilizing Mega Pidgeot's flight.[1] Additionally, its increased wing power allows it to fly for two weeks without rest.

Major appearances

Ash's Pidgeot

Ash had a Pidgeot that he caught 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 defeating Fearow, Pidgeot left Ash's party to watch over a local flock of Pidgey and Pidgeotto, with Ash promising to come back for it later. In The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!, Ash reunited with Pidgeot as it helped to save Pikachu from Team Rocket and agreed to rejoin his team.

Other

Trivia

  • When rematching 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.
  • Mega Pidgeot is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 579.
  • Mega Pidgeot is tied with Drampa, Porygon-Z, and Bloodmoon Ursaluna for the highest base Special Attack stat of all Normal-type Pokémon.
  • Mega Pidgeot is the only Mega Evolved Pokémon where its lowest stat (Special Attack, although it is tied with Special Defense) in its base form becomes its highest stat.

Design variations

Pidgeot is depicted with red-and-yellow tail feathers in its official Generation I artwork, while the Generation III artwork depicts red ones only. This discrepancy is expressed in numerous ways in Pidgeot's early in-game sprites. Additionally, Pidgeot are often depicted with brown tail feathers in Pokémon the Series.

Origin

Despite its name, Pidgeot does not resemble a pigeon so much as a bird of prey such as an osprey or an eagle due to its large size and predatory behavior. Its Shiny colors in particular resemble a golden eagle. It also shares some characteristics with various passerine birds such as sparrows, chickadees, waxwings, and wrens. Its colorful crest is somewhat similar to the crests of cockatoos. The black markings around its eyes are reminiscent of Ra and Horus, the sun and sky gods of Egyptian mythology who were depicted with the heads of falcons.

Mega Pidgeot's crest seems to be inspired by punk hairstyles.

Name origin

Pidgeot and Pigeot may be a combination of pigeon and jet (referring to its speedy flight).
