Jungle is a set in the Base series. It was released on 16 June 1999. The printed size is 64, and the checklist is the same length. Pidgeot is 8/64, in position 8 of 64 on this checklist. Before it is 7 Nidoqueen, and after it is 9 Pinsir. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Pidgeot is a Stage 2 Colorless Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 40. 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).

Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this card. The same name is on 656 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 24/64 in Jungle (1999). Both list 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Rare Holo. 19 other cards of Pidgeot list a different HP.

The attack Wing Attack lists 20 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Hurricane is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Unless this attack Knocks Out the Defending Pokémon, return the Defending Pokémon and all cards attached to it to your opponent's hand. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30. The flavor text reads "When hunting, it skims the surface of water at high speed to pick off unwary prey such as Magikarp."

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