(I believe this picture is relevant enough to be in here. It could go in the Personality and characteristics section to show Ash's and Pidgeot's mutual protection, but I don't want the left picture to end up unused.) |

Pidgeotto was gradually weeded out as an everyday battler when Ash captured {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Charmander}}, used most often to blow away {{m|SmokeScreen}}s, pop holes in [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]]'s balloon, or scout around to find the way to their next destination. In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', Pidgeotto bore Pikachu into battle with a giant {{p|Tentacruel}}, and was the only one of itself, {{AP|Butterfree}} and {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} to avoid Tentacruel's attacks, allowing Pikachu to attempt to negotiate a truce with the colony. | Pidgeotto was gradually weeded out as an everyday battler when Ash captured {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Charmander}}, used most often to blow away {{m|SmokeScreen}}s, pop holes in [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]]'s balloon, or scout around to find the way to their next destination.

In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', Pidgeotto fought against [[Koga]]'s {{p|Venonat}}, which promptly evolved into {{p|Venomoth}}, and its Stun Spore crippled Pidgeotto, forcing Ash to pull Pidgeotto for Charmander. It was also used by Ash in a surprise attack whilst breaking into Team Rocket's hideout in ''[[EP050|Who Gets To Keep Togepi?]]'' | |||

Pidgeotto played a very important part in Ash's Gym battle in ''[[EP063|Battle for the Badge!]]''. Ash's Squirtle and Bulbasaur were being brutalised by Giovanni's {{p|Kingler}} and {{p|Machamp}}, commanded by Jessie, but Pidgeotto turned the tables by using a {{m|Quick Attack}}/{{m|Double-Edge}} combination to inflict serious damage on the {{p|Rhydon}}. | Pidgeotto played a very important part in Ash's Gym battle in ''[[EP063|Battle for the Badge!]]''.

It provided wind effects in [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]]'s film in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion!]]'', and was also sent out to battle the [[giant]] {{p|Gengar}} in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. However, its {{m|Gust}} had no effect on Gengar, and it was absorbed by the monster. It reappeared after the giant {{p|Jigglypuff}} put the huge creature to sleep. | It provided wind effects in [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]]'s film in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion!]]'', and was also sent out to battle the [[giant]] {{p|Gengar}} in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''.

Pidgeotto towed Team Rocket's balloon all the way to the stadium in order to allow Ash to reach his battle with [[Ritchie]] in time. However, it was too exhausted to battle, leaving Ash with only his disobedient {{AP|Charizard}} to fight with once Squirtle and Pikachu were defeated. | |||

In ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'', Ash returned to [[Pallet Town]] following the [[Indigo League]]. Here, he encountered an old enemy; the {{p|Spearow}} Ash had tried to catch [[EP001|the first day of his journey]] had evolved into {{p|Fearow}} and was leading other wild Spearow in harassing the local {{p|Pidgey}} flock. | In ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'', Ash returned to [[Pallet Town]] following the [[Indigo League]].

Pidgeotto tried to lead the wild Pidgey to safety, but was badly injured. Desperate to help its fellow birds, Pidgeotto [[Evolution|evolved]] into Pidgeot and attacked Fearow with {{m|Gust}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. It then lead the other {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Pidgeotto}} to defeat Fearow. Ash released Pidgeot to guard the wild Pidgey so that Fearow would not return for a sneak attack. | Pidgeotto tried to lead the wild Pidgey to safety, but was badly injured.

He promised to return for it after he was finished in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], a sentiment that he still hoped he could do in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]''. However, Ash has yet to fulfill that promise, with its role as his Flying-type being filled by such new Pokémon as {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Swellow}}, {{AP|Staraptor}} and {{AP|Unfezant}}. | He promised to return for it after he was finished in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], a sentiment that he still hoped he could do in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]''.
