Strategy Overview
As impressive as it looks, Pidgeot is terribly outclassed by most other physical Normal / Flying type Pokemon in the tier. Its mediocre bulk and offenses do little to help it differentiate itself, and while it does have a moderately good Speed stat, it misses out on important base 95 Speed tier threats such as Sawsbuck. Its combination of Brave Bird, U-turn, and Quick Attack makes it a decent enough Choice Band user, but it is nothing special.
