It boasts a resistance to Fighting-type attacks, reducing damage by 30, and a weakness to Lightning-type attacks, dealing double damage. The card includes two distinct attacks: "Whirlwind" and "Mirror Move." The "Whirlwind" attack costs two Colorless energy and deals 20 damage, allowing the player to switch a Benched Pokémon with the Defending one before resolving damage. The "Mirror Move" attack requires three Colorless energy and replicates the final damage result from a previous attack on Pidgeotto to the Defending Pokémon. Pidgeotto’s design is attributed to artist Ken Sugimori, and it belongs to the Base Set 2, released in February 2000.
