Ash caught Pidgeot as a 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}}, but it was ultimately defeated.

In ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', Pidgeotto was used to weaken a wild {{p|Weedle}} for Ash to capture, but the Weedle 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]] match 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 Pidgeotto 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 ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', Pidgeotto was used in Ash's [[Fuchsia Gym]] battle against [[Koga]], where it faced his {{p|Venonat}}, which promptly [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Venomoth}}.

Pidgeotto was then put to sleep by {{m|Sleep Powder}}, forcing Ash to substitute Pidgeotto for {{AP|Charmander}}.

In ''[[EP063|The Battle Of The Badge]]'', Pidgeotto played a very important part in Ash's [[Viridian Gym]] battle. [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] and {{AP|Squirtle}} 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}} and {{m|Double-Edge}} combination to inflict serious damage on her {{p|Rhydon}}.

In ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', Pidgeotto 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.

In ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]'', 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. 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 Plateau Conference]]. There, it encountered the {{p|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 it was badly injured. Desperate to help its fellow birds, Pidgeotto 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 revenge attack.

Ash's Pidgeot did not undergo as much character development as his other five original team members, as it had far fewer 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 {{DL|Ash's Fearow|In the anime|Fearow}}, [[Jessie's Arbok]], and the Ancient Giant {{p|Gengar}} are just three examples.
