Biology

Its wings are strong enough to fly at Mach 2 speed, whip up windstorms strong enough to bend trees, and fly up to 3,300 feet over the air. It skims over the water to hunt for unsuspecting fish Pokémon like Magikarp. Its glossy feathers make it a popular pick among trainers.

Forms

Mega Pidgeot

Mega Pidgeot's wing strength is now significantly enhanced, enabling it to fly for about two weeks straight.
