Collector Insights

Pidgeotto is a Colorless-type Pokémon with 60 HP and a retreat cost of 1 Colorless energy. It features two attacks: Whirlwind, which costs two Colorless energy to deal 20 damage and forces the opponent to switch their Benched Pokémon with the Defending one, and Mirror Move, requiring three Colorless energy to replicate the final attack result from Pidgeotto’s previous turn. The card resists Fighting-type attacks by 30 and is weak to Lightning-type attacks multiplied by two. Its flavor text highlights its territorial nature, emphasizing its aggressive defense against intruders. Designed by artist Ken Sugimori, this Rare card originates from the Base set, released in 1999. It carries the theme color #d7b969 and is numbered 22 in the series. Pidgeotto’s design aligns with its role as a defensive Pokémon in gameplay mechanics.

Very protective of its sprawling territory, this Pokémon will fiercely peck at any intruder.
