How to unlock Pidgey in PokeBonk
Pidgey joins your League in two steps. First, finish its League challenge; the counters add up across runs unless a goal says "in a single run":
- Complete 4 runs (win or lose).
Catching Pidgey
Then Pidgey can show up as a Wild Encounter in your next runs, 50 to 120 seconds into a zone. It runs away after 150 seconds, so weaken it and throw a Poke Ball before then. The PokeBonk unlock Pokemon guide lists every challenge.
Pidgey moves in PokeBonk
Each League Pokemon has a fixed kit of four moves. Move 1 is equipped from the start; moves 2, 3 and 4 are offered as new-move cards at player levels 2, 4 and 7. A run holds three moves until you buy the 4th move slot in the Lab. Hit damage below is the move's base hit at level 1 before your stats, items and type bonus; cooldowns shrink with attack speed.
| Slot | Move | Type | Class | Shape | Unlocks | Base hit | Cooldown |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Quick Attack | Normal | Physical | Charge | Start | 23 | 1.66 s |
| 2 | Feather Dance | Flying | Special | Homing | Level 2 | 12 | 1.13 s |
| 3 | Wing Attack | Flying | Physical | Boomerang | Level 4 | 17 | 1.5 s |
| 4 | Hurricane | Flying | Special | Vortex | Level 7 | 51 | 3.53 s |
Pidgey passive: Tailwind
+12% speed, +20% projectile speed and +1 jump. Like any good Flying type, you glide by holding Jump.
Quick Attack, Feather Dance, Wing Attack, and Hurricane match Pidgey's type, so they deal 25% more damage (same-type bonus). Moves can also be learned from its learnset and from other League members of the same type, which the PokeBonk beginner guide explains.
Pidgey Ultimate in PokeBonk
Pidgey's Ultimate gets stronger as the line evolves: each form has its own version. Press R (Y on a controller) when the bar is full, or turn on Auto Ultimate with the Y key. The PokeBonk Ultimate guide explains how the bar charges.
| Form | Ultimate | Duration | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pidgey | Whirlwind | 2 s | A whirlwind advances 16 m toward your target, dragging along and hitting everything it finds. |
| Pidgeotto | Tornado | 2.2 s | Two tornadoes in a fan and a gust of wind that pushes back nearby enemies. |
| Pidgeot | Hurricane | 3.2 s | Three tornadoes and a flock of Pidgeot diving down on the enemies. |
Pidgey evolution levels in PokeBonk
In PokeBonk every evolution happens by player level inside a run, whatever the main games ask for. The Pidgey line evolves like this: Pidgey evolves into Pidgeotto at level 26 and Pidgeotto evolves into Pidgeot at level 44.
Pidgey stats in runs
The game turns base stats into run stats with the share of each stat in the base stat total, so a balanced Pokemon and a lopsided one end up with different strengths. Each evolution stage adds 0.12 to the HP and damage multiplier. These are the starting values before Lab upgrades, items and vitamins:
| Form | Stage | Max HP | Armor | Speed | Physical | Special | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pidgey | 0 | 113 | 8.2 | 1.08x | 1.04x | 0.99x | 1x |
| Pidgeotto | 1 | 133 | 8.3 | 1.07x | 1.03x | 0.99x | 1.12x |
| Pidgeot | 2 | 145 | 8.3 | 1.07x | 1.02x | 1x | 1.24x |
