About the Pokémon
Pidgeot is the Bird Pokémon, recorded as No. 018 in the National Pokédex. It was introduced in Generation I, associated with the Kanto generation of games. It can skim the water when hunting aquatic prey. It evolves from Pidgeotto. Its species identity is shared across its different TCG appearances.
About the Expansion
Pokémon Jungle arrived in Japan on 5 March 1997 as the second main expansion. Its 48-card checklist expanded the original Kanto selection with Pokémon including Eevee's evolutions and Snorlax. These Japanese cards retain the original Pocket Monsters back and predate the differently structured English Jungle release of 1999.
Artwork & Collector's Notes
Kagemaru Himeno is credited for this Pokémon Jungle illustration of Pidgeot. The holofoil finish, original Pocket Monsters reverse and Japanese text identify this printing. The No. 018 identifier is a Pokédex number, not an English set checklist position.
