Legal, but nobody plays it

Pidgeot is legal in Regulation M-B and did not appear often enough on the ladder to produce usage statistics. It is legal and simply out of favour, which makes it unmeasured rather than unusable.

The Pokémon itself

Pidgeot is number 18 in the National Dex, a Kanto Pokémon, Normal and Flying with a base stat total of 479 — 190th of the 234 Pokémon legal in this regulation. Its best stat is Speed at 101, 44th in the format; its weakest is Sp. Def at 70, 179th. It can have Keen Eye, Tangled Feet and Big Pecks. The Champions module tiers it UU.

It sits in a 3-stage line: Pidgey → Pidgeotto → Pidgeot. Not all of that line is legal in this regulation — Pidgey and Pidgeotto are not.

What gets through

As Normal and Flying, 3 of the eighteen attacking types do extra damage to it. It resists 2 and is immune to 2. The board above has all of it. 2 other legal Pokémon share the same typing and the same board: Staraptor, Toucannon.

What threatens it

Smogon publishes no head-to-head checks-and-counters data for doubles formats, so this list is computed, not measured: the most-played Regulation M-B Pokémon carrying a damaging move of a type Pidgeot takes extra damage from.

Garchomp — Rock Slide (Rock, ×2), on 75.9% of its sets
Farigiraf — Thunderbolt (Electric, ×2), on 59.2% of its sets
Archaludon — Electro Shot (Electric, ×2), on 98.6% of its sets
Aerodactyl-Mega — Rock Slide (Rock, ×2), on 99.8% of its sets
Swampert-Mega — Ice Punch (Ice, ×2), on 84.6% of its sets
Milotic — Icy Wind (Ice, ×2), on 41.2% of its sets

Speed and weight

At level 50 with a boosting nature and full investment, Pidgeot reaches 168 Speed; left uninvested with a neutral nature it sits at 121. Invested, it outruns 13 of the 20 most-used Pokémon in the regulation when they are invested too — which is the comparison that decides who moves first.

It weighs 39.5 kg, so Grass Knot and Low Kick hit it for 60 base power. That is a real consideration in a format where both are common.

Its move pool

Pidgeot learns 65 moves in the Champions data. 34 of them do damage, across 9 of the eighteen types, and 27 share a type with it and so get the same-type bonus. Its hardest-hitting same-type move is Giga Impact at 150 base power. It also has priority: Quick Attack at +1.

That pool is what the team builder reads from when you seat it, and the damage calculator will take it as the attacker with the form already chosen.
