Pidove

Pidove, known as Mamepato in Japanese, is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It first appeared in the Pokémon Black and White games. Pidove is a pigeon-like Pokémon, mainly gray with golden, oval eyes and a tuft of feathers on its head. It has a short, black beak with a bulbous pink cere, and a black patch on the nape of its neck. There is a wide, heart-shaped area of lighter coloration on its chest. Pidove's black wings have a thick gray stripe down the side. It has pink feet with black talons. Pidove is known for its docile nature and fondness for humans, often gathering in city parks and plazas. While loyal to its Trainer, Pidove is not particularly intelligent and is quite forgetful, often requiring repeated commands. Pidove evolves into Tranquill starting at level 21, which then evolves into Unfezant starting at level 32. In the anime, Ash owned a Pidove that later evolved into Tranquill and Unfezant. Pidove is based on pigeons and doves, and its Japanese name Mamepato combines 'mame' meaning 'small' and 'hato' meaning pigeon.
