In this episode, Rhys and Felicity soar into the world of Pidgeotto—Pokédex #17 and the fierce, fast, and surprisingly sassy mid-stage evolution of Kanto’s favorite bird line.
They break down what makes Pidgeotto such a major glow-up from tiny Pidgey: sharper talons, stronger wings, and a whole lot more attitude. From its dual Normal/Flying typing to its abilities Keen Eye and Tangled Feet, Rhys and Felicity explain how Pidgeotto stays accurate, dodges attacks like a dizzy dodgeball champion, and becomes a serious threat in early battles.
Learn all about Pidgeotto’s powerful eyesight—sharp enough to spot a Caterpie crawling from nearly a mile away—its lightning-quick diving attacks, and how it uses its territory like a boss-level bouncer. With size comparisons (giant chicken? beach ball with wings?), real-world bird parallels, and a running “Catter Pie” meme they absolutely cannot escape, this episode is equal parts informative and totally unhinged.
Plus, Rhys and Felicity explore how Pidgeotto fits into the full evolution line, leading up to its majestic final form, Pidgeot—coming next episode with no spoilers allowed.
Stay tuned for listener voicemail info, a joke of the day that absolutely wings it, and all the goofy, chaotic sibling energy you expect from the Pokémon Pokédex. Whether you’re a longtime Kanto trainer or just learning the bird squad, this episode will have you appreciating Pidgeotto’s power (and laughing through the food jokes).
Also in this episode:
Pidgeotto’s Traits and Abilities:
A Normal/Flying type with Keen Eye (prevents accuracy drops) and Tangled Feet (evasion boost when confused). Great at overpowering Bug and Grass types, but weak to Electric, Ice, and Rock.
Physical Characteristics:
Around 3’7″ and about 66 pounds—bigger, sharper, and far more intimidating than Pidgey. Think “big chicken meets hawk,” complete with strong talons and a red crest.
Evolution Line:
The second stage between Pidgey and Pidgeot, marking a major leap in power, hunting instincts, and speed.
Predatory Skills:
Pidgeotto hunts from above, spotting prey with incredible vision before swooping down at high speed to grab it. Its eyesight is compared to birds of prey like hawks and eagles.
Territorial Behavior:
Extremely protective—Pidgeotto patrols its area constantly, guarding it like a superhero bouncer. Nothing sneaks by this bird.
Flock & Forest Life:
Found in the Kanto region, often flying over forests and open areas while maintaining command of its territory.
Sibling Chaos & Running Jokes:
Expect talk of cookies, chickens, memes, pies, and everything in between. There’s even a brief detour into Amazon mistakes and Snorlax impressions.
