'''Pidgey''', '''Pidgeotto''', and '''Pidgeot''' are among the 493 fictional species of [[Pokémon]] creatures from the multi-billion dollar ''Pokémon'' media franchise – a collection of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards and other media created by Satoshi Tajiri. Their main purposes in the games, as with all other Pokémon, are to battle both "wild" Pokémon, which are untamed creatures encountered while the player passes through various environments, and "tamed" Pokémon that are owned by Pokémon trainers. |

=== Pidgey === |
|||
{{nihongo|'''Pidgey'''|ポッポ||'''Poppo''' in original [[Japanese language]] versions}} is a basic-stage Pokemon that resembles a number of small birds, and is perhaps based on the [[thrush (bird)|thrush]] or the [[pigeon]]. It is one of the earliest Pokemon species that players of games set in the Kanto region catch. |
|||
It is quite docile and non-confrontational. Often found hiding in tall grass and foraging for small insects to eat, it does its best to avoid battle. Its two shades of brown feathers and black stripes behind its eyes (possibly working like a tiger's stripes) would make a good camouflage for sandy or grassy areas. It will either blow small or weak foes away with its Whirlwind, or use kick up dust in a Sand Attack to blind its enemy. It dwells in forests and grassy areas, and is able to return to its nest from anywhere thanks to an astoundingly sharp sense of direction. Pidgey are common throughout large cities and they often make their home on the ledges of tall buildings or tall structures. |

{{nihongo|'''Pidgeotto'''|ピジョン|Pijon|'''Pigeon''' in original [[Japanese language]] versions}} are a developed, [[Pokémon evolution|evolved]] form of Pidgey. |
|||
Pidgeotto are large birds, perhaps based on the [[Osprey]] and [[Merlin (bird)|Merlin]], with sharp talons, a red and yellow feathered tail and a red [[crest (bird)|crest]] on its head. It looks very similar to its final evolution, [[Pidgeot]]. The difference between the two is Pidgeot's headfeathers are longer than Pidgeotto and Pidgeot is larger than Pidgeotto. Pidgeotto are extremely territorial, generally claiming a large area with its nest built in the center. Full of vitality, it constantly patrols its territory, mercilessly punishing intruders. It flies about in circular patterns while hunting, and can spot the movements of its prey on the ground no matter how high it flies. Pidgeotto then attacks with its wickedly sharp talons and carries its prey, including [[Exeggcute]] and [[Magikarp]], back to its nest from as far as 60 miles away - or more. |

{{nihongo|'''Pidgeot'''|ピジョット|Pijotto|'''Pigeot''' in original [[Japanese language]] versions}} is the fully [[Pokémon evolution|evolved]] and developed form an individual in the Pidgey evolutionary line can attain. |
|||
Pidgeot appear very similar to Pidgeotto. However, the feathers of Pidgeot’s [[crest (bird)|crest]] are much longer, as is its body. The glossy feathers of Pidgeot’s plumage have been described as "dazzling", and some trainers choose it solely because of its beauty. Its head is adorned with a gorgeous crest of pale yellow and red-orange feathers, complemented by its red-orange tail. Like [[Pidgey]] and [[Pidgeotto]], it has a pair of intimidating black stripes behind its eyes. It spreads its large wings wide to intimidate its foes. Flapping these wings with their powerful chest muscles, Pidgeot are capable of whipping up gusts of wind similar to tornadoes. Pidgeot are very aerodynamic, capable of soaring to an altitude of 3300 feet and reaching speeds of up to [[Mach number|Mach 2]]. Like Pidgeotto, Pidgeot feed on [[Magikarp]] by swooping from the sky and snatching them out of the water. |
|||
==In the Pokémon video games== |
|||
As with many Pokémon creatures, Pidgey (and less commonly, its evolved forms) can be [[random encounter|randomly encountered]] in the wild and caught with a [[Poké Ball]] in several games. Pidgey can undergo a process known as [[Pokémon evolution]], in which it metamorphosizes into a statistically more powerful Pokémon: Pidgeotto. From there, Pidgeotto can also evolve into the more-powerful Pidgeot. In both instances, the creatures will evolve when they reach an appropriate level (18 and 36, respectively). Pidgey and all of its evolutions are of the [[Pokémon types#Normal-type|Normal-]] and [[Pokémon types#Flying-type|Flying-]] types. |
|||
==In the Pokémon anime== |
|||
Pidgey is introduced in the very first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]], but [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] fails to catch it; however, he does catch its evolved form, [[Pidgeotto]], two episodes later. It is a common Pokémon, and many junior [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]]s have one. Pidgey are sometimes used as mail carriers (as seen in the episode ''Carrying On''), and in “Fly Me to the Moon” a Pidgey named Orville (named after one of the [[Wright Brothers]]), who dreams of flying higher than any Pokémon, manages to reach the upper atmosphere. |
|||
[[Ash Ketchum]] caught a Pidgeotto in an early episode. It is often used to blow away [[Weezing]]'s smokescreens and pop holes in Team Rocket's balloon. It remained one of the feature members of his team throughout his Indigo [[Pokémon League|League]] challenge. As Ash made his way to the [[Orange Islands]], it evolved into a [[Pidgeot]]. Much later, in [[Hoenn]], an old [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] with a Pidgeotto tutors Ash’s [[Swellow]], which is trying to learn Aerial Ace. Pidgeotto was voiced in both versions by [[Megumi Hayashibara]]. |
|||
On his way to the [[Orange Islands]], [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] encountered a [[Fearow]] with an old grudge against him. It also happened to be terrorizing a flock of Pidgey and Pidgeotto with its flock of Spearow. Ash’s Pidgeotto finally evolved into Pidgeot to battle Fearow, and Ash left it behind to protect its new friends, with a promise to return for it after visiting the next gym. One of the trainers in [[Pokémon: The First Movie]] owns a Pidgeot (referred to as Pidgeotto due to a dubbing error). [[Falkner (Pokémon)|Falkner]], the [[List of Johto locations#Violet City|Violet City]] Gym Leader, also has a Pidgeot. It fights with Ash's Charizard but is eventually narrowly defeated. In [[Hoenn]], an [[List of Pok%C3%A9mon characters#Recurring .22cousins.22|Officer Jenny]] with a Pidgeot helps Ash reunite with [[Pikachu]]. In ''[[Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', [[Sir Aaron]] has an oversized Pidgeot. |
|||
==In other media== |
|||
In the ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' manga, a robotic Pidgey serves as [[Red (Pokémon)|Red]]’s guide to the Safari Zone. A Pidgeotto attempts to abduct [[Yellow (Pokémon)|Yellow]]’s Caterpie, probably for food, but is stopped by [[Yellow (Pokémon)|Yellow]]’s [[Pikachu]], Pika. Falkner also has a Pidgeotto when [[Gold (Pokémon)|Gold]] meets him. The trainer [[Blue (Pokémon)|Blue]] has a Pidgeot, which he sometimes uses for transportation or to relay messages. |
