In the anime

In the anime, Pidgeotto played a role as one of Ash Ketchum's Pokémon. It participated in the Gym battles against 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 Pokémon League in Kanto. It eventually evolved into Pidgeot and left Ash's party.
