{{nihongo|'''Pidgeot'''|ピジョット|Pijotto|'''Pigeot''' in original [[Japanese language]] versions}} is one of the {{pokenum}} [[List of Pokémon|fictional species]] of Pokémon in the [[Pokémon|Pokémon franchise]]&mdash;a series of [[video games]], [[anime]], [[manga]], [[trading card]]s, and other media created by [[Satoshi Tajiri]].


[[Category:Fictional doves and pigeons]]
The name "Pidgeot" is a variation of the name "[[Pidgeotto]]", the Pokémon from which it evolves, and is based on the word "[[dove|pigeon]]", and is a semi-[[homonym]] of "[[Merlin (bird)|pigeon hawk]]" as well. Its name in the English [[Software release life cycle#Beta|beta version]] of ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue]]'' was "Pidgeott". It evoles from a [[Pidgeotto]] and a [[Pidgey]].

=={{PokeAttributes}}==
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.

=={{PokeVideoGames}}==
Pidgeot are not catchable in the wild, but they evolve from Pidgeotto, which in turn evolve from the fairly common [[Pidgey]].

Pidgeot are vulnerable to [[Pokémon types#Electric-type|Electric]], [[Pokémon types#Ice-type|Ice]] and [[Pokémon types#Rock-type|Rock]] attacks. [[Pokémon types#Grass-type|Grass]] and [[Pokémon types#Bug-type|Bug]] types are sparsely effective against them. Pidgeot are fully immune to [[Pokémon types#Ground-type|Ground]] and [[Pokémon types#Ghost-type|Ghost]]-types attacks.

Pidgeot is a good choice for a [[Pokémon types#Flying-type|Flying]]-type. All of its stats are average or above, its speed in particular. However, not having higher Attack and/or Speed, like its fellow Normal-Flying types (such as [[Fearow]], [[Dodrio]], [[Swellow]], and [[Mukuhawk]]) really hurts the usefulness of this beautiful bird. Nevertheless, thanks to its elegant looks and somewhat decent use, Pidgeot is very popular amongst many Pokémon fans and it's thus used often for in-game teams. In the metagame, however, it's never used, only appearing occasionally on UU teams. Even though sometimes it may occur on OU teams too, this may be because its pre-evolved forms are quite common. However, with the addition of the new physical/special attack split in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Pidgeot is able to utilize many special attacks, as Pidgeot is somewhat balanced in terms of its attack and special attack stats.

=={{PokeAnime}}==
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]].

Along with many other of Ash's previous Pokémon, Pidgeot is featured in the 10th Japanese anime opening.

In ''[[Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', [[Sir Aaron]] has an oversized Pidgeot.

==In other media==
[[Image:Pidgeot Pokémon card.png|thumb|right|Pidgeot in the Pokémon Trading Card Game.]]
In the ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' manga [[Blue (Pokémon)|Blue]] has a Pidgeot, which he sometimes uses for transportation or to relay messages.

Pidgey and Pidgeotto cards were available in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] Base Set, but Pidgeot was not available until the Jungle set was released. Pidgeot’s appearances in the TCG were in Jungle (included in Base Set 2 and the Legendary Collection), Southern Islands, Pokémon *VS (as Falkner’s Pidgeot, a basic Pokémon), Expedition, EX FireRed & LeafGreen, and EX Holon Phantoms (as Pidgeot δ, Lightning/Metal type) along with appropriate Pidgey and Pidgeotto cards. It also appeared in the [[Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew|8th movie]] promotional half-deck in Japan (as [[Sir Aaron|Aaron]]’s Pidgeot, a basic Pokémon).

==Hasbro Pokédex error==
When the original toy [[Pokédex]] was released a little after Pokémon Red and Blue, there was an error involving Pidgeot. Although it was available in the Pokédex's lists, the Search function came up with an error message whenever a user attempted to search for Pidgeot. It is believe that the unsophisticated technology used to create it (as it is simply a children's toy) is incapable of perceiving Pidgeot and finding it in its database when there is a Pokémon with a similar, yet longer name (Pidgeotto).
