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 that is 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, and there are three forward-facing toes and one backward-facing toe on each foot. Behind each eye is an angular black marking.
Pidgeot's powerful wings are capable of stirring 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 and there is 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.
Evolution
Pidgeot evolves from Pidgeotto and is the final form of Pidgey.

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 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
In Mewtwo Strikes Back and its remake Mewtwo Strikes Back--Evolution, Corey's Pidgeot was one of the Pokémon captured and cloned by Mewtwo. It was referred to as a Pidgeotto in the original's dub due to a dubbing error that was corrected in the remake. The Pidgeot clone was seen again in Mewtwo Returns.
In Bound for Trouble, a giant Pidgeot was a resident of Fairchild Island. Its size was due to there being excessive quantities of food on the island. Pidgeot snatched Meowth and Pikachu when they got tethered together.

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.
- 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.
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).
