Pidgeotto (Japanese: ピジョン Pigeon) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon.
It evolves from Pidgey starting at level 18 and evolves into Pidgeot starting at level 36.
Biology
Pidgeotto is a large raptor-like bird. While its primary color is brown, its plumage is much more elaborate than its pre-evolution, Pidgey. Its head-crest is much longer than Pidgey's and is a reddish color. The plumage of its tail is also quite colorful, alternating between red and yellow. Other than its ornamental plumage, its basic coloration is similar to Pidgey, with pinkish-gray feet and black markings around its eyes. Pidgeotto has powerful talons to grasp prey so these claws can inflict a lot of damage.
As well as being a powerful flier, it is capable of carrying prey several miles to its nest. Pidgeotto have an amazing sense of sight and hearing. Its eyesight is so good that it can spot a Caterpie from several miles up in the air.
After evolution, Pidgeotto assumes a predatory niche. It claims a sprawling territory of more than 60 miles and fiercely defends it from intruders. Although its nest is usually in the center of its territory, it circles its territory throughout the day, looking out for prey and intruders.
Pidgeotto typically dwell in forests with thick growth and large trees. They need a lot of space, and are very territorial, so it can be assumed that their territories usually do not overlap.
Pidgeotto, although omnivorous like most Pokémon, appears to prefer preying on other Pokémon such as Exeggcute. Both the anime and Pokémon Adventures have shown it attempting to eat a main character's Caterpie. Pidgeotto are known to prey on Magikarp by catching them in mid-jump.
In the anime
Major appearances
Ash's Pidgeotto
In the anime, Ash caught a Pidgeotto in Ash Catches a Pokémon. Since then, it played a role as one of Ash's main Pokémon. It participated in the Gym battles against Team Rocket, Brock, and Misty, and was frequently used for breaking Team Rocket's Meowth-shaped balloon. However, it was the only one of Ash's Pokémon at the time, save some of his numerous Tauros, not to participate in the Indigo League Conference. It eventually evolved into Pidgeot and left Ash's party to guard other Pidgey and Pidgeotto.

- Pidgeotto is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 349.
Origin
Despite its name, its design appears to be less of a pigeon and more of an osprey or other bird of prey.
Name origin
Pidgeotto is a corruption of pigeon. Its name may also refer to Otto Lilienthal, a pioneer of unpowered heavier-than-air flight.
Pigeon is literally pigeon.
