[[Category:Normal/ -type Pokémon]][[Category:Generation I Pokémon]] [[Category:Brown Pokémon]]Pidgey (ポッポ Poppo) is a Normal/ -type Pokémon. At Level 18, Pidgey will evolve into a Pidgeotto, which then evovles into a Pidgeot at level 36. It is one of the first Pokémon that you find in Fire Red and LeafGreen.
Appearance
Pidgeys 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 (with the exception of Spearow) these Pokémon tend to be unique to a region, 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.
Anime
Pidgeys often appear in the anime series. Ash tried to catch its evolved form, but since Pikachu wasn't listening to him at the time, he tried to battle it himself, which ended up badly.
Pidgey had an episode all to itself in "Fly Me to the Moon", Where Ash and friends find an island of fat Pidgey that couldn't fly.
