'''Pidgey''' is a small bird Pokémon and the most basic Flying-type Pokémon of the first generation games.

=Information=

Pidgey are small and docile birds that are commonly found in forests and woods. They prefer to kick up sand by flapping its wings at ground level to protect itself rather than using straightforward attacks. They try to avoid battle as much as possible and will blow small or weak enemies away with Whirlwind. They also stir up dust clouds to drive insect prey out into the open; it likely eats some Bug-type Pokémon as well, as its evolved forms are said to.

It is also known for its sharp sense of direction, as this bird is said to be capable of finding its way back to its nest no matter how far away it is from normal surroundings. Pidgey evolves into [[Pidgeotto]] at Level 16 and from there to [[Pidgeot]] at Level 38.

=Other Appearances=

==Video Games==

*In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Pidgey have made background appearances flying in the background of the Saffron City stage. In ''Ultimate'', Pidgey was also represented by a Novice-rank Support [[Spirit]] with the effect of reducing landing lag.

==In Other Media==

*A Pidgey was shown in the first episode of the Pokémon anime, where Ash tried in vain to catch it as his first Pokémon by himself due to his rebellious [[Pikachu]] ignoring his orders. Pidgey have appeared as Pokémon of various trainers throughout the series or as background creatures due to their common nature. Notable episodes involving Pidgey include one episode about Pudgy Pidgey Island, where a trainer named Wilbur was training his Pidgey Orville to fly due to all of the island's other Pidgey being too hefty to fly. In a later episode, [[Professor Oak]] catches a Pidgey and uses it to easily defeat [[Team Rocket]] singlehandedly.
*The various manga adaptations based on the first generation games also show Pidgey with primarily minor appearances.

==Canceled Appearances==

*A beta video for ''[[Pokémon Snap]]'' showed an appearance by Pidgey, but it was left out of the final game.
