Pidgeotto · Scarlet & Violet 151, what to know.
About the Pidgeotto card
Numbered 17 of 207 in Scarlet & Violet 151, released in September 2023, Pidgeotto is a Common, a Stage 1 Colorless-type carrying 80 HP.
It evolves from Pidgey, so Pidgeotto is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Pidgeotto carries this Pokédex flavor text: "Very protective of its sprawling territorial area, this Pokémon will fiercely peck at any intruder."
About Pidgeotto in the Pokémon world
The middle Pidgey stage. Sharper silhouette, longer wings, more aggressive coloration. Standard middle-stage card. Bought as part of a Pidgey to Pidgeot run.
What is Pidgeotto worth?
Pidgeotto is a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Pidgeotto before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Pidgeotto is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Pidgeotto
Raw copies of Pidgeotto are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Pidgeotto is the practical move.
