Gen 7 UU / Nat Dex UU
Pidgeot-Mega @ Pidgeottite Ability: Tangled Feet / Big Pecks EVs: 8 HP / 252 SpA / 248 Spe Timid Nature - Hurricane - Heat Wave - Roost - Refresh / Defog / Work Up / Hidden Power [Ground]
Hurricane is powerful STAB with a high confusion rate. It also never misses because of No Guard. Heat Wave is coverage for Steel-types, and is stronger than Flamethrower. Its accuracy problems are also removed because of No Guard. Roost is healing. Refresh gets rid of status, Defog removes entry hazards like Stealth Rock (which Mega Pidgeot is weak to), Work Up boosts Mega Pidgeot's Special Attack, Hidden Power [Ground] hits Rock- and Electric-types hard.
Gen 7 ZU
Pidgeot @ Life Orb Ability: Big Pecks / Tangled Feet EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe - Brave Bird - U-turn - Roost - Defog / Work Up / Return
Brave Bird is Flying type STAB. U-turn for momentum. Roost for healing, most importantly from Life Orb, Brave Bird recoil, and Stealth Rock. Defog removes Stealth Rocks (and other hazards), Work Up gives Pidgeot's offenses a boost, Return is Normal-type STAB.
Pidgeot (M) @ Pidgeotite Ability: No Guard EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe IVs: 0 Atk Modest Nature - Hurricane - Hidden Power [Ground] - Heat Wave - Roost
Analysis Pidgeotite makes Pidgeot evolve and gives him awesome stats. No Guard allows for Pidgeot's moves to never miss. Timid boosts Pidgeot's great Speed without a Choice Scarf. EVs allow for Pidgeot to sweep. 31 IVs in every stat except Attack because no physical moves.
Hurricane never misses and is strong because of STAB. HP Ground gets rid of some of Pidgeot's weaknesses and is coverage. Heatwave stops Ice types and is coverage. Roost is there to help you heal if you ever get low in HP.
