Where to find Pidgey

Pidgey can appear as a wild Pokémon on Lava Beach. See how to catch a Pokémon.

Pidgey can hatch from a Bloom Egg or a Common Egg. Now and then an encounter on a map turns up an egg instead of a wild Pokémon, and which eggs a map can drop depends on its types. The Bloom Egg can drop on Black Forest, Lava Beach, Jungle, Leaf Town, and Legend of Dawn. The Common Egg can drop on Black Forest, 0* Temperature, Jungle, Leaf Town, Reborn Surface, and Legend of Dawn. Put the egg in an incubator to hatch it. See crafting and incubation.
