POP Series 2 is a set in the POP series. It was released on August 1, 2005. The printed size is 17, and the checklist is the same length. Pidgeot is 2/17, in position 2 of 17 on this checklist. Before it is 1 Entei, and after it is 3 Raikou. The listed rarity is Rare.

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).

Ken Sugimori illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,112 other cards in the catalog.

Pidgeot (#018) has 25 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 17 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. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori 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 POP Series 2, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the POP Series 2 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.
