How to Get All Stars for Pidgeot

How to Take Pidgeot 1 Star Photo

Caption Name Nice and calm

Ready to Fly

To take a 1 Star photo of Pidgeot, go to Park (Night) course research-level 1. In the middle of the course, you'll find Pidgeot landing over just before the stone bridge. Before you get closer to Pidgeot, hit it with a Fluffruit and wait for it to spread its wings. Take a nice shot of Pidgeot before it flies away to achieve 1 Star Diamond.

How to Take Pidgeot 2 Star Photo

Caption Name On alert

On Guard

Taking a 2 Star photo of Pidgeot is similar to 1 Star. All you need to do is to wait for Pidgeot to notice you. Once Pidgeot landed near the stone bridge, focus your camera on it and wait till it looks to the right side. Take a close-up shot to achieve 2 Star Diamond.

How to Take Pidgeot 3 Star Photo

Caption Name You don't see this everyday

Flapping Wings

In the middle of the Park (Night) course research-level 2, you'll find Pidgeot landing over by the trees and grass on your left side. Focus your camera on Pidgeot and wait for it to walk through the grass to have a clear shot. Once you have the perfect angle, throw an Illumina Orb at it to flap its wings. Take a close-up shot of Pidgeot flapping its wings to achieve 3 Star Diamond!

How to Take Pidgeot 4 Star Photo

Caption Name A bit unusual!

Hard-Won Happiness

This photo can be taken to complete the request Hard-Won Happiness. Click the link to see a detailed walkthrough on how to get this up-close look at Pidgeot!

In Park (Night), Pidgeot will appear at the start of the course near the Bouffalant and in the middle of the course near the Torterra. In both instances, feed it a fluffruit. Doing so will cause Pidgeot to happily approach you at the end of the course, which is when you take the 4 star photo.

This is how you get it, I just did it. It shows on that area of the map because that's where it flies in from, frustrating, I know lol. Important side note though: If you snap a pic of him flying by the Hoothoot tree on his way to Magikarp, you'll still get it registered on the map btw, that's how I got mine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Got it figured; to get that location you need to hit pidgeot with a flufffruit at the start and at the trees by the lake, it'll fly away. Then hit the sleeping magikarp with a orb so it jumps. The pidgeot will be flying above the path by the hoothoot tree (where heracross and pinsir fight) take a picture before it flys down to grab the magikarp. Timing can be an issue, but good luck!
