#28 Pidgeotto - Base Set 2 (base4)
Pidgeotto is a Colorless-type Pokémon with 60 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It boasts a resistance to Fighting-type attacks, reducing damage by 30, and a weakness to Lightning-type attacks, dealing double damage. The card includes two distinct attacks: "Whirlwind" and "Mirror Move." The "Whirlwind" attack costs two Colorless energy and deals 20 damage, allowing the player to switch a Benched Pokémon with the Defending one before resolving damage. The "Mirror Move" attack requires three Colorless energy and replicates the final damage result from a previous attack on Pidgeotto to the Defending Pokémon. Pidgeotto’s design is attributed to artist Ken Sugimori, and it belongs to the Base Set 2, released in February 2000. The card’s flavor text highlights its territorial nature, emphasizing its aggressive defense against intruders. As a Rare card, it carries a thematic focus on vigilance and combat readiness.
