Pidgeot's Normal/Flying typing gives it an immunity to Ground and Ghost. Only 3 weaknesses on top of that — it has plenty of safe switch-in opportunities. Known as the Bird Pokemon. Flexible enough to run physical or special sets.

Pidgeot's spread isn't flashy. Speed leads, Sp. Atk trails, 3 stats clear the bar. Tough to catch and worth 3 Speed EVs, on a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.

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.

Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire

Pidgeot Weakness

Good

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.

Nothing fancy here. Pidgeot builds around Nothing for extra utility, Hardy nature for the right stat lean, and a spread EV build EVs. Keeneye does its job quietly.

The egg pool carries weight here. Air Cutter and Air Slash aren't available any other way for Pidgeot, and they meaningfully change what it threatens. Stack those on top of Giga Impact and Hyper Beam for solid options.

    or evolve from Pidgey (Step 1)
  3. Pidgeot
    Step 3Pidgeot ✓

  • Pidgeot has a 479 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier — a situational pick that fills a niche. It works best as a support. Base 101 Speed is where it shines.

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

  • Pidgeotto evolves into Pidgeot at level 36. Pidgeot is the final evolution in a 3-stage line starting from Pidgey. It sits at 479 BST in its evolved form.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Pidgeot appears in 19 games, including Yellow, Red & Blue, and Gold & Silver.

Pidgeot first appeared in Red & Blue and spans 19 games across 9 generations. It later gained a Mega form in Generation 7, adding new dimensions to its competitive identity.
