Pokemon Champions Build Guide
Pidgeot is best used as a fast special attacker in Pokemon Champions. Its strongest build is Mega Pidgeot, which gives teams accurate Flying-type pressure and useful coverage.

Page Status: This Pidgeot build guide will be updated when new Pokemon Champions regulations, items, buffs or nerfs change its best set.
Pidgeot has two main builds in Pokemon Champions. The Mega Pidgeot build is the stronger attacker, while the non-Mega support build is better when your team needs Tailwind without spending the Mega slot.
This is the main Pidgeot build. It focuses on accurate Hurricane pressure, speed and coverage damage that can punish Grass, Bug and Fighting-type Pokemon.
| Item | Pidgeotite |
|---|---|
| Ability | No Guard after Mega Evolution |
| Nature | Timid, +Speed and -Attack |
| Moves | Hurricane, Heat Wave, Tailwind, Protect |
| Stat Point Spread | Sp. Atk: 32 / Speed: 30 |
This version gives Pidgeot a safer way to set Tailwind. Use it when speed control matters more than raw Mega damage.
| Item | Focus Sash |
|---|---|
| Ability | Tangled Feet or Big Pecks |
| Nature | Timid, +Speed and -Attack |
| Moves | Tailwind, Air Slash, Heat Wave, Protect |
| Stat Point Spread | HP: 8 / Sp. Atk: 24 / Speed: 30 |
Pidgeot and Mega Pidgeot are shown together below for easy comparison.
Pidgeotite is the best item for the main build because it enables Mega Pidgeot and gives it No Guard.
Focus Sash is the best option for the support build because it helps Pidgeot survive long enough to set Tailwind.
Pidgeot works best with Pokemon that benefit from Tailwind and help cover Electric, Rock and Ice weaknesses.
Pidgeot is strong against Grass, Bug and Fighting-type Pokemon. Mega Pidgeot is especially useful when it can spam accurate Hurricane without praying to the accuracy gods like a doomed intern.
Heat Wave also gives Pidgeot coverage into Steel and Ice-adjacent matchups that would otherwise slow it down.
Pidgeot is threatened by Electric, Ice and Rock-type damage. Special walls and faster attackers can also limit its pressure.
Pidgeot can learn Normal, Flying, Fire and utility moves across different Pokemon games. Use the section below to view the full move list by learn method.
