The thing with Pidgeot is I can't see anywhere for his design to go that wouldn't look too try hard.
I love Pidgeot, and if a mega could be done well for him I would love it, but honestly my bro just needs a stat fix and access to fucking ExtremeSpeed.
It's a crime that the Pokemon that "can fly at twice the speed of sound at an altitude of nearly one mile," has a base speed of 91, which while not horrible, is clearly not good enough.
For instance Swellow has a base speed of 125 which is the highest of normal non legendary.
Even upping Pidgeots to a respectable 110 or 120 would help him a lot, and access to an awesome STAB in ExtremeSpeed would be awesome.
Pidgeots whole BST is fucked really, I mean its total is 469 for some weird ass reason, why such a random number?
If you compare Pidgeot to our other two three stage starting birds, Staraptor has 475 and Unfezant has 478 (which is also weird as fuck).
Fuck man, Staraptor is the only one who was divided properly.
If I could edit Pidgeot I'd bump his BST to 475 and make him a slightly speedier, more defensive Staraptor.
>Hp 85
>Atk 90
>Def 90
>SpAtk 50
>SpDef 50
>Spd 110
Those stats with access to ExtremeSpeed would at least give him a fighting chance, rather than the mess he is now.
Here's hoping they give him a boss ass Mega and a great new ability.
Speaking of, Mega Pidgeot ability speculation?
