Strategy Overview
Super high Speed, considerable power, and great dual STABs, what more could you ask for in an offensive Pokemon? Indeed, Pidgeot stands out at the head of the pack in the NU tier. While it faces direct competition from Murkrow as an offensive Flying-type, Pidgeot is far bulkier, has STAB Normal-type moves, and possesses Quick Attack. On the downside, Pidgeot hits slightly weaker than Murkrow with its coverage attacks. However, that's very minor, and in the end there's very little risk to using Pidgeot thanks to its immunity to Spikes, high Speed and power, and ability to check many dangerous attackers in the tier, most prominently Hitmonchan and Bellossom.
