Major appearances
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 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, although this promise remains to be fulfilled.

Trivia
- 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 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.
- Mega Pidgeot is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 579.
- Mega Pidgeot is tied with Drampa and Porygon-Z for the highest base Special Attack stat of all Normal-type Pokémon.
Origin
Despite its name, Pidgeot's appearance and behavior do not resemble a pigeon so much as that of a bird of prey, especially an osprey or an eagle. In particular, its Shiny coloration resembles a golden eagle. Its eye markings strongly resemble the Sun and Sky gods of Egyptian mythology, Ra and Horus.
Name origin
Pidgeot and Pigeot are combinations of pigeon and jet (referring to its great speeds).
