Strategy Overview

Pidgeot is totally outclassed by Dodrio, which has a much better Attack stat and access to Knock Off, giving Pidgeot no real niche in the metagame. Although it has access to Defog, it's simply outperformed by Swanna as an offensive Defogger, and even Fearow, which is also unviable, boasts better Attack and coverage.
