The Story

What the Pokédex says

  • Let’s Go, Eevee!

    This Pokémon is full of vitality. It constantly flies around its large territory in search of prey.

  • Alpha Sapphire

    Pidgeotto claims a large area as its own territory. This Pokémon flies around, patrolling its living space. If its territory is violated, it shows no mercy in thoroughly punishing the foe with its sharp claws.

  • Y

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

  • X

    The claws on its feet are well developed. It can carry prey such as an Exeggcute to its nest over 60 miles away.

  • SoulSilver

  • HeartGold

    It has outstanding vision. However high it flies, it is able to distinguish the movements of its prey.

  • Emerald

    This Pokémon flies around, patrolling its large territory. If its living space is violated, it shows no mercy in thoroughly punishing the foe with its sharp claws.

  • Crystal

    It slowly flies in a circular pat­ tern, all the while keeping a sharp lookout for prey.

  • Silver

    It immobilizes its prey using well- developed claws, then carries the prey more than 60 miles to its nest.
