Pidgeot PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

⚔️ Raids

Pidgeot is a great Flying-type raid attacker, but preferably as its Mega Evolution. Well worth grinding as a budget counter that packs a punch!

🛡️ Gyms

There are much better options available.

Pidgeot PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Pidgeot’s best moveset for PvP is Gust, Feather Dance, and Brave Bird. Pidgeot has some niche use in specific cups but doesn’t rank well generally for PvP.

🔵 Great League

Pidgeot doesn’t break the top 300 Pokémon for Great League.

🟡 Ultra League

Pidgeot ranks better in Ultra League, but requires maxing out with XL Candy, making it a very expensive and still not that great PvP option.
