Pidgeot 2/18 · Southern Islands

Southern Islands is a set in the Other series. It was released on July 31, 2001. The printed size is 18, and the checklist is the same length. Pidgeot is 2/18, in position 2 of 18 on this checklist. Before it is 1 Mew, and after it is 3 Onix.

Pidgeot is a Stage 2 Colorless Pokémon with 70 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).

Keiko Fukuyama illustrated this card. The same name is on 19 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). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Keiko Fukuyama illustrated this one. 25 other cards of Pidgeot list a different HP.

The attack Supersonic Flight lists 40 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing. Slicing Wind is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30. The flavor text reads "This Pokémon searches for food while flying at Mach 2. Its large claws make fearsome weapons."

I keep a set binder for Southern Islands, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Southern Islands 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.
