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 overwhelmed by the {{type|Flying}} Pokémon. After recalling Caterpie, Ash sent out his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Pikachu used {{m|Thunder Shock}} to weaken Pidgeotto, allowing Ash to capture it. Later, Ash used Pidgeotto in its first battle against {{TRT}}. Despite it fighting alone against {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} and {{TP|James|Koffing}}, it managed to hold its own, but was ultimately defeated.

In ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', Pidgeotto was used 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 the battle with Weedle, Pidgeotto battled Samurai's {{p|Pinsir}}. Pidgeotto started off with {{m|Sand Attack}}, but Pinsir simply ran through the dust and defeated it with a single {{m|Tackle}}.

In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', it battled {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} in Ash's rematch with {{an|Brock}}. Its {{m|Gust}} proved ineffective on the {{2t|Rock|Ground}} type Pokémon, and it was quickly knocked out.

In ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Pidgeotto was used in Ash's [[Cerulean Gym]] battle against {{an|Misty}}, where it fought {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}. Pidgeotto started off with {{m|Whirlwind}}, but {{p|Starmie}} jumped into the water and then hit Pidgeotto with Tackle. Starmie then went for another Tackle, but got knocked into the water by Pidgeotto's {{m|Wing Attack}}. Starmie, however, quickly recovered and struck Pidgetto with Tackle again. As Starmie headed back to attack once again, Pidgeotto used Gust to propel it with great force into the Gym's wall. The battle was then interrupted by Team Rocket, who tried to steal the Gym's Pokémon.

In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', Pidgeotto bore Pikachu into battle with a [[Giant Pokémon|giant]] {{p|Tentacruel}}, and was the only one of itself, Butterfree and {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} to avoid Tentacruel's attacks, allowing Pikachu to attempt to negotiate a truce with the colony.

In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', Pidgeotto was used in Ash's [[Fuchsia Gym]] battle against [[Koga]], where it faced his {{p|Venonat}}, which promptly evolved into {{p|Venomoth}}. Pidgeotto tried blowing Venomoth's {{m|Stun Spore}} away with Whirlwind, but failed to do so, crippling it. Pidgeotto was then put to sleep by {{m|Sleep Powder}}, forcing Ash to substitute Pidgeotto for {{AP|Charmander}}.

Pidgeotto played a very important part in Ash's [[Viridian Gym]] battle in ''[[EP063|Battle for the Badge!]]''. [[Ash's Squirtle]] and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} were being brutalized by {{an|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 her {{p|Rhydon}}.

In ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', Pidgetto was sent out to battle an ancient giant {{p|Gengar}}. However, its Gust had no effect on Gengar, and it was absorbed by the monster. It was saved after the giant {{p|Jigglypuff}} put the huge creature to sleep.

Pidgeotto towed Team Rocket's balloon all the way to the stadium at the [[Indigo Plateau]] in order to allow Ash to reach his battle with [[Ritchie]] in time in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''. However, due to this it was too exhausted to battle, leaving Ash with only his disobedient 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 Spearow Ash had tried to catch [[EP001|the first day of his journey]], who had since evolved into {{DL|Ash's Fearow|In the anime|Fearow}} and was leading other wild Spearow in harassing the local 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. After their victory, Ash released Pidgeot to guard the wild Pidgey so that Fearow would not return for a sneak attack.

Ash 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}}, {{AP|Unfezant}}, and {{AP|Talonflame}}.
