In-Depth Analysis
Pidgeotto totals 349 across its base stats, profiling as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Lean on its Speed (71) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Special Attack (50).
Defensively, the Normal, Flying combination gives Pidgeotto 2 resistances, 2 immunities, and 3 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 3 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A catch rate of 120 puts Pidgeotto in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Speed +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
