Ash caught Pidgeot as a {{p|Pidgeotto}} in [[Viridian Forest]], in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''. Having [[EP001|previously]] failed to capture its pre-evolution, {{p|Pidgey}}, and a {{p|Spearow}}, Ash was prepared to fight the Pidgeotto before attempting a capture. However, his {{AP|Caterpie}} was easily defeated by the {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, but {{AP|Pikachu}} used {{m|Thunder Shock}} to weaken Pidgeotto and Ash captured it. Its first battle was against {{TRT}}, but both it and Pikachu were defeated by {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} and {{TP|James|Koffing}}.

It reappeared in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', where it managed to weaken a wild {{p|Weedle}} for Ash to capture, but the small bug escaped when [[Samurai]] arrived and challenged Ash to a battle. Weakened by battle with Weedle, Pidgeotto battled Samurai's {{p|Pinsir}} and was defeated by a {{m|Tackle}}. It also battled {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} when Ash had a rematch with {{an|Brock}}, but its Gust proved ineffective on the [[Rock (type)|Rock]]/{{type|Ground}} Pokémon, and it was knocked out and recalled.

Weakened by battle with Weedle, Pidgeotto battled Samurai's {{p|Pinsir}} and was defeated by a {{m|Tackle}}.  


It had a much more successful battle in the [[Cerulean]] Gym, where it fought {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}. Although the battle was interrupted by Team Rocket, Pidgeotto easily had the upper hand over Starmie, using Gust to propel Starmie with great force into the Gym's wall. However, it was defeated easily along with {{AP|Butterfree}} by [[A.J.]]'s powerful {{p|Sandshrew}}, despite the type advantage.
It also battled {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} when Ash had a rematch with {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', but its Gust proved ineffective on the {{type|Rock}}/{{type|Ground}} Pokémon, and it was knocked out and recalled. It had a much more successful battle in the [[Cerulean]] Gym in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', where it fought {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}. Although the battle was interrupted by Team Rocket, Pidgeotto easily had the upper hand over Starmie, using Gust to propel Starmie with great force into the Gym's wall.


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'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.
In ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]'', Pidgeotto was used in a battle against [[A.J.]]'s powerful {{p|Sandshrew}} in an unofficial Gym. However, Pidgeotto was taken out with little effort on Sandshrews part, despite the type advantage.

In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', Pidgeotto fought against [[Koga]]'s {{p|Venonat}}, which promptly evolved into {{p|Venomoth}}, and its {{m|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 brutalized by Giovanni's {{p|Kingler}} and {{p|Machamp}}, commanded by Jessie, but Pidgeotto turned the tables by using a Quick Attack/Double-Edge combination to inflict serious damage on the {{p|Rhydon}}.

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 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.

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.

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 Gust and Quick Attack. It then led the other Pidgey and Pidgeotto to defeat Fearow. Ash released Pidgeot to guard the wild Pidgey so that Fearow would not return for a sneak attack.

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]]'', where it appeared in a flashback. However, Ash has yet to fulfill said promise, with its role as his Flying-type being filled by such new Pokémon as {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Swellow}}, {{AP|Staraptor}} and {{AP|Unfezant}}.

Ash's Pidgeot did not undergo as much character development as his other five team members, as it had far less episodes focused on it. However, it was loyal and had an extremely strong relationship with Ash, the only one of his original six Pokémon he had never been on bad terms with before or after capture. It always followed his orders to the letter, even when this resulted in personal risk of self injury - taking on Fearow, Jessie's Arbok and the Ancient Giant Gengar are just three examples. Brock once stated that Pidgeotto would take any attack for Ash, and Misty lamented that {{AP|Charizard}} was not as loyal as Pidgeotto.
