Trivia

The Japanese name of Pidove may be a combination of 忠実 mame, diligent, and ハト hato, pigeon.
Pidove appears to be of the same value as Pidgey from Generation I, Hoothoot from Generation II, Taillow from Generation III and Starly from Generation IV.
This Pokémon was revealed along with six other Pokémon in July's issue of CoroCoro on June 11, 2010, as was among the first "regular" Pokémon revealed.
Even though it is called the Baby Pigeon Pokémon, it is not classified as a Baby Pokémon.
This is the first time that a Normal/Flying type Pokémon does not appear until after the first badge is earned.
Pidove's name almost certainly comes from the English words "pigeon" and "dove," both of which are very similar birds.
Pidove's shiny form is likely based on the coloration of the diamond dove while its normal form is based on the sooty colors of a city-dwelling dove or pigeon.
Pidove, like Pikachu, has two broad stripes running horizontally across its back.
