Pidgeotto (pronunciation: pid-jee-OH-toh) is a Normal/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It is the evolved form of Pidgey.

Appearance[]

Pidgeotto resembles a small bird and is brightly colored with red and yellow feathers. Due to similarities between Pidgeotto and its evolved form, Pidgeot, many players often get the two confused.

Special abilities[]

Pidgeotto has the abilities Keen Eye and Tangled Feet, along with the hidden ability Big Pecks. Keen Eye prevents Pidgeotto from losing accuracy whilst Tangled Feet raises Pidgeotto's evasion when confused. Big Pecks prevents Pidgeotto from losing defense.

Evolution[]

Pidgeotto evolves from Pidgey at level 18 and evolves into Pidgeot at level 36.

In the anime[]

In the anime, Ash Ketchum caught a Pidgeotto in the third episode, Ash Catches a Pokémon, it appeared in thirty-three episodes before it evolved and was released on the season finale of the Indigo League, Pallet Party Panic.

Pidgeotto appeared in several other episodes, such as Mountain Time, as a trainer's Pokémon or as a wild Pokémon.
