[[File:RG-Pidgey.png|thumb|Artwork of Pidgey for Pokémon Red and Blue]]
Pidgey resembles a small, plump-bodied bird. It is a brown color, with a lighter colored throat and belly. The tips of its wings share this cream color. Both its feet and beak are a pinkish-gray color. Its plumage is fairly nondescript, particularly compared to its evolutions, Pidgeotto and Pidgeot. It has black markings around its eyes and a small crest of brown and cream feathers above its eyes. It resembles other small flying-type Pokémon, such as [[Starly]], [[Taillow]], and [[Spearow]]. However, due to the fact that these Pokémon tend to be unique to a region, with the exception of Spearow, it is likely that they are a result of convergent evolution. Pidgey's feet allow it to walk on the ground for a while, but can also reach out and safely land on perches.

== Special abilities ==
 
When on the ground, Pidgey flaps its wings to kick up sand and dust that blinds its opponents. It has an excellent sense of direction and homing instincts. It can locate its nest even when far removed from familiar surroundings. These skills enable to be easily trained to deliver messages.

=== Behavior ===
  +
Pidgey are very docile Pokémon that prefer to avoid confrontation with other Pokémon and humans altogether, hiding in tall grass to prevent themselves from being seen. If cornered, though, they will attempt to escape by using Sand Attack to blind foes or Whirlwind to blow them away and buy themselves time to fly away. When hunting, however, Pidgey often use these attacks to stir up their surroundings, exposing vulnerable insects for them to chase down.
[[File:Casey's_pidgey.jpg|thumb]]
 
Pidgeys often appear in the [[Pokémon Anime|anime series]]. They debuted in the first episode, ''[[IL001: Pokémon - I Choose You!|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', where [[Ash Ketchum]] had attempted to catch one without [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]]'s help. He later mistook a [[Spearow]] for a Pidgey, which caused a flock of [[Spearow]] to chase him.
 
   
  +
These Pokémon have extremely keen senses of direction. They can always find their way back to their nests regardless of how far they have flown. Because of this, Pidgey were commonly used to send messages in the Kanto and Johto regions (much like the Wingull of Hoenn), at least until the advent of e-mail. Many Pidgey have grown accustomed to and now dwell in urban areas due to this practice, flying to forests and fields only to hunt for food before returning to their nests in cities. Some people still train Pidgey to deliver messages as a way of preserving tradition.
Pidgey later appeared as the main Pokémon in ''[[JE095: Fly Me to the Moon|Fly Me to the Moon]]'', where Ash and friends find an island of fat Pidgey that could not fly.

Pidgey [[Evolution|evolves]] into [[Pidgeotto]] at level 18, Then it evolves into [[Pidgeot]] at level 36.

Pidgey are shown to be prey for Pokémon such as [[Meowth]]. Their eggs are often the victim of hungry [[Ekans]].

Pidgey often appear in the [[Pokémon Anime|anime series]]. They debuted in the first episode, ''[[TB001: Pokémon - I Choose You!|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', where [[Ash Ketchum/The Beginning|Ash]] had attempted to catch one without [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]]'s help. He later mistook a [[Spearow]] for a Pidgey, which caused a flock of [[Spearow]] to chase after him.

Pidgey later appeared as the main Pokémon in ''[[GS095: Fly Me to the Moon|Fly Me to the Moon]]'', where Ash and friends find an island of fat Pidgey that could not fly.

RG-Pidgey

Artwork of Pidgey for Pokémon Red and Blue

Pidgey resembles a small, plump-bodied bird. It is brown in color, with a cream-colored throat and belly. The tips of its wings share the same color. Both its feet and beak are a pinkish-gray color. Its plumage is fairly nondescript, particularly compared to its evolutions, Pidgeotto and Pidgeot. It has black markings around its eyes and a small crest of brown and cream feathers above its eyes.

It resembles other small flying-type Pokémon, such as Starly, Taillow, and Spearow. However, due to the fact that this Pokémon tend to be unique to a region, with the exception of Spearow, it is likely that they are a result of convergent evolution.

Behavior

Pidgey are very docile Pokémon that prefer to avoid confrontation with other Pokémon and humans altogether, hiding in tall grass to prevent themselves from being seen. If cornered, though, they will attempt to escape by using Sand Attack to blind foes or Whirlwind to blow them away and buy themselves time to fly away. When hunting, however, Pidgey often use these attacks to stir up their surroundings, exposing vulnerable insects for them to chase down.

These Pokémon have extremely keen senses of direction. They can always find their way back to their nests regardless of how far they have flown. Because of this, Pidgey were commonly used to send messages in the Kanto and Johto regions (much like the Wingull of Hoenn), at least until the advent of e-mail. Many Pidgey have grown accustomed to and now dwell in urban areas due to this practice, flying to forests and fields only to hunt for food before returning to their nests in cities. Some people still train Pidgey to deliver messages as a way of preserving tradition.

Natural abilities

When on the ground, Pidgey flaps its wings to kick up sand and dust that blinds its opponents. It has an excellent sense of direction and homing instincts. It can locate its nest even when far removed from familiar surroundings. These skills enable it to be easily trained to deliver messages.

Pidgey are shown to be prey for Pokémon such as Meowth. Their eggs are often the victim of hungry Ekans.

Evolution

Pidgey evolves into Pidgeotto starting at level 18, and from Pidgeotto, evolves into Pidgeot starting at level 36.

Appearances

Anime

Goh Pidgey

Goh's Pidgey.

Pidgey often appear in the anime series. They debuted in the first episode, Pokémon - I Choose You!, where Ash had attempted to catch one without Pikachu's help. He later mistook a Spearow for a Pidgey, which caused a flock of Spearow to chase after him.

Pidgey later appeared as the main Pokémon in Fly Me to the Moon, where Ash and friends find an island of fat Pidgey that could not fly.

Trivia

  • Pidgey are often seen flying in small flocks in the anime.
  • Pidgey is the first Pokémon in the National Pokédex order to have 2 abilities.
  • Pidgey is the first Normal-type Pokémon in the National Pokédex.
  • Pidgey was officially going to be named "Pidge".
  • Pidgey has the same cry as Jigglypuff, except Pidgey's cry is a little lower and quicker.
  • Pidgey has the shortest cry of all Pokémon.
  • In "PJ023", Pidgey enjoy taking sand or dust baths; this behavior is also observed in many real-world birds.
  • Despite its name, Pidgey has little resemblance to pigeons.


Origin

Pidgey is based on an Old World sparrow, most likely the Eurasian tree sparrow, a common bird in Japan.

Etymology

Pidgey may come from the words pigeon and pudgy (something plump and miniature, usually the former).
