In Partners in Time!, Pidgeot appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Leon's Charizard.
In Heroes Unite!, Pidgeot appeared in a fantasy while Ash reminisced about the Pokémon he'd caught on his journey.
In JN147, Pidgeot reunited with Ash when it saved Pikachu from being captured by Team Rocket. Seeing that its flock had now grown bigger, Ash invited Pidgeot to rejoin his team, which it accepted.

Personality[]
Ash's Pidgeot did not undergo as much character development as his other five team members, as it had far fewer episodes focused on it. However, it was loyal and had an extremely strong relationship with Ash, the only one of his original six Pokémon he had never been on bad terms with before or after capture. It always followed his orders to the letter, even when this resulted in personal risk of self injury - taking on Fearow, Jessie's Arbok and the Ancient Giant Gengar are just three examples. Brock once stated that Pidgeotto would take any attack for Ash, and Misty lamented that Charizard was not as loyal as Pidgeotto. In the early episodes of the Pokémon anime, Pidgeotto was one of Ash's primary battlers, but it gradually weeded out as an everyday battler when Ash captured Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charmander, used most often to blow away Smokescreens, pop holes in Team Rocket's balloon, or scout around to find the way to their next destination.

Trivia[]
Pidgeot is the only member of Ash's original team of six that was never seen using Tackle.
Pidgeot is the last of Ash's released Pokémon that has reunited with him, and the only one to have permanently rejoined his team.
Out of all the Pokémon that were obtained and evolved in Kanto during the original series, Pidgeotto took the longest to evolve, at 78 episodes.
Pidgeot is Ash's oldest caught Pokémon to currently be under his ownership.
Pidgeotto's evolution into Pidgeot has been teased or, at least, influenced by the first opening of the anime, which displays Ash throwing a Poké Ball containing a Pidgeot to battle a Fearow.
Pidgeot made a cameo appearance in the tenth Japanese opening theme, Spurt!. However, it did not return in any episodes aired with the opening.
It also appeared in the correspondant dub opening alongside Larvitar's mother, thus making it the only one of Ash's Pokémon to have its Spurt! scene carried across to the dub opening.
In Pokémon Yellow, it is possible to catch underleveled Pidgeotto in Viridian Forest, possibly as a reference to Ash's Pidgeotto.
