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

Pidgeot Weakness

Type-wise, Pidgeot takes extra damage from Electric, Ice, and Rock. Ground and Ghost moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. With 83 HP and balanced defenses, Pidgeot can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

Legends: Z-A Pidgeot Best Moveset

Timid nature gives Pidgeot the fast special lean it needs to trade hits effectively. Heavy-Duty Boots adds hazard immunity on every switch-in, max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs split the difference, and utility options punishes anything trying to wall it. Roost keeps it topped off between trades.

Moves

Pidgeot develops a solid moveset just through leveling. Hurricane and Brave Bird show up naturally, and the progression handles both STAB and utility without leaning on TMs for the core attacks.

Pidgeot Guide

  • In Legends: Z-A, Pidgeot has a 479 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a niche pick in Legends: Z-A's meta. It works best as a support. Roost with Heavy-Duty Boots is the standard set.

  • Mega Evolution isn't available in Legends: Z-A, but Pidgeot does have a Mega form in Gen 6-7 games (X/Y, ORAS, Sun/Moon). Mega Pidgeot hits 579 BST.

  • In Legends: Z-A, Pidgeot's biggest threats include Jolteon (Electric), Cloyster (Ice), and Golem (Rock), all carrying super-effective STAB moves.

  • Keen Eye is the go-to ability for Pidgeot. It prevents accuracy from being lowered. Its hidden ability Big Pecks can work in specific setups. Tangled Feet is the other option. Pick based on what your team needs.

  • In Legends: Z-A, Pidgeot fills the support role. It's leaning toward the physical side (base 80 Attack). Base 101 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.

Game Availability

Pidgeot first appeared in Red & Blue and spans 19 games across 10 generations. It later gained a Mega form in Generation 7, adding new dimensions to its competitive identity.
