Mega Pidgeot Best Nature and Moveset for Story

Adamant or Jolly

Nature Stat Changes
Adamant ↑ Attack, ↓ SpAtk
Jolly ↑ Speed, ↓ SpAtk

Since Pidgeot is a Fast Physical Attacker, its best Nature is either Adamant or Jolly to boost its Attack or Speed further, while reducing its Special Attack stat.

Alternative Natures

Nature Stat Changes
Lonely ↑ Attack, ↓ Defense
Naughty ↑ Attack, ↓ SpDef

You can also give Pidgeot either Lonely or Naughty nature, if you will mainly use it for Story Content.

Keep in mind that giving Pidgeot any of the above two natures will increase the damage it receives, making it less ideal for Competitive Play and harder post-game content.

Use Mints to Change Natures

Mint Usage

If your Pidgeot has a different Nature than the ones we recommend above, you can use a Mint to change its Nature.
Mints Locations and How to Change Nature

Best Pidgeot Moveset for the Story

Move Type Cooldown
Brave Bird Pokemon Flying Type Icon 10
Headbutt Pokemon Normal Type Icon 7
Fly Pokemon Flying Type Icon 12
Feather Dance Pokemon Flying Type Icon 10

We recommend the moves Brave Bird, Fly, Headbutt, and Feather Dance when using Pidgeot during the main story.
