Beedrill | Pidgeotto |
Description
This Normal/Flying-type Pokémon is commonly found throughout the Kanto and Johto regions. Usually flying in groups, a flock of Pidgey could Gust up as much power as a storm. Unlike real birds, Pidgey only has one dewclaw and two long toes. Despite the name "Pidgey," it more closely resembles a house sparrow than it does a pigeon.Pidgey resembles a small, plump-bodied avian Pokémon. Pidgey is primarily brown with a lighter throat and belly. Both its feet and beak are a pinkish-gray color. It has black markings around its eyes and a small crest of brown and cream feathers above its eyes.
Pidgey has an extremely sharp sense of direction and homing instincts. It can locate its nest even when far removed from familiar surroundings. Pidgey is a docile Pokémon, and generally prefers to flee from its enemies rather than fight them. Pidgey protects itself and flushes out potential prey by flapping its wings rapidly and throwing up dust clouds. Pidgey is very common and can be seen in meadows and forests. |
