Expedition Base Set is a set in the E-Card series. It was released on September 15, 2002. The printed size is 165, and the checklist is the same length. Pidgeot is 23/165, in position 23 of 165 on this checklist. Before it is 22 Pichu, and after it is 24 Poliwrath. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Pidgeot is a Stage 2 Colorless Pokémon with 80 HP. In the Pokédex this is Pidgeot (#018), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Pidgeotto. In this catalog that name is Pidgeotto (#017).

Tomokazu Komiya illustrated this card. The same name is on 248 other cards in the catalog.

Pidgeot (#018) has 25 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 18 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2024. The earliest other card is Pidgeot 8/64 in Jungle (1999). Both list 80 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Tomokazu Komiya illustrated this one. 19 other cards of Pidgeot list a different HP.

Beating Wings is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), if Pidgeot is your Active Pokémon, you may shuffle 1 of your Benched Pokémon and all cards attached to it into your deck. This power can't be used if Pidgeot is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Sharp Beak lists 20+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 20 damage plus 30 more damage. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30.

I keep a set binder for Expedition Base Set, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Expedition Base Set set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Pidgeot can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
