Flavor Text

: By flapping its wings with all its might, Pidgeot can make a gust of wind capable of bending tall trees.

: When hunting, it skims the surface of water at high speed to pick off unwary prey such as Magikarp.
: It spreads its gorgeous wings widely to intimidate enemies. It races through the skies at Mach-2 speed.
: This Pokémon has a dazzling plumage of beautifully glossy feathers. Many Trainers are captivated by the striking beauty of the feathers on its head, compelling them to choose Pidgeot as their Pokémon.
