Pidgeot, Fearow, or Noctowl?
 
I'm having a hard time deciding. Just wanted to know which one you guys/girls prefer and why.

RyanGT May 26th, 2010 1:38 PM

Noctowl is definitely the coolest looking. As for a battling, I'm not sure.

Porygon Z May 26th, 2010 1:46 PM

Noctowl it's the best choice, he also has the Psychic Type.
But i awlays prefered Pidgeot :D

bunnyricebowl May 26th, 2010 1:47 PM

Noctowl! :) Fearow aren't that great and Pidgeot is cool but Noctowl is better.

Weavile1110101 May 26th, 2010 1:52 PM

I like Noctowl best, if just for hypnosis and its special defense.

But Pidgeot is probably better competitively...:knockedou

Sydian May 26th, 2010 1:52 PM

I like Noctowl because owls are cool.



Kozoi May 26th, 2010 2:01 PM

I think Dodrio is better than all of them as a Normal/Flying type in HeartGold/SoulSilver, but since you didn't list it I guess I will say Pidgeot. Pidgeot is pretty darn cool... It's really good for people of all skill levels and has balanced stats.

Butterfree-Charizard May 26th, 2010 2:19 PM

Well in HG/SS this is the ultimate question, but as far as I'm concerned they all suck. But since you Noctowl is the coolest.

Guy May 26th, 2010 2:37 PM

Even though this has to deal with what you should choose, I'll move it on over the Pokémon General where threads on comparisons between similar Pokémon are found more suitable. I say I prefer Pidgeot over Fearow and Noctowl though. Personally, I see it with the best design over the other two, and I've always liked it before. If Swellow was one of the options though, then my answer would have been different.

JAK3 May 26th, 2010 3:05 PM

Pshh, Fearow! He is awesome! He is fast, and Strong, problem is, he is very bad in Defense, so he goes down fast! But, he does hit hard, so the Opposing Pokemon may go down.

Hypno May 26th, 2010 3:06 PM

Noctowl, because it is a Psychic too, then Pidgeot... I just don't like Fearow at all, they should replace Spearow for Doduo for the beginning parts.

EmeraldSerenade May 26th, 2010 3:30 PM

Noctowl. I love how mysterious it looks... Reminds me of the Tootsie Pop owl xD

Thorns May 26th, 2010 3:31 PM

Fearow, not only since everybody seems to not like it, but I use it in all my Kanto games. XD

nm legend May 26th, 2010 3:31 PM

noctowl....because i had a shiny one.... i think it was gold....this was years ago tho

I laughed out loud. xD
I like owls, too, but only my bro likes Noctowl over my fave.

I would have chosen Pidgeot, but Fearow always got me to pick it instead. He was my Flyer whenever he was available in a Pokemon game, and the Pokemon species just holds a lot of memories.

coolcatkim22 May 26th, 2010 5:12 PM

Hm, that's hard... I'm going to go with Noctowl though because he's an owl but epic.
Pidgeot and Fearow are too but Noctowl beats them by a smege.

Crobat May 26th, 2010 5:23 PM

i had to go with noctowl also.. it knows psychic moves not only flying

Leo™ May 26th, 2010 5:30 PM

I would go with Pidgeot, but because it's one of my personal favorites of the flying Pokemon.

You should go with Noctowl, because it knows psychic moves and it will be helpful against some trainers.

chezhead May 26th, 2010 5:35 PM

I like Pidgiot. They fly high, are graceful, and generally OWN everything.

SinisterEternity May 26th, 2010 5:44 PM

I had to say Pidgeot, because they're reminding me of Eagles !

Mifune May 26th, 2010 5:53 PM

Noctowl. Love the hypnosis. Lol

PiPVoda May 26th, 2010 6:09 PM

Pidgeot. Fearow is IMO ugly and only good for KOing to get exp. points for your pkmn. Noctowl is alright but I prefer Pidgeot over it.

Emlam May 26th, 2010 6:27 PM

Fearow's got the advantage when it comes to Attack and Speed, so in the game I'll take Fearow over Pidgeot.

In looks, I'll take the falcon/cockatoo over the vulture/chicken any day.

I've never had the opportunity to use Noctowl, but I still think Pidgeot is just a little bit cooler.

Timbjerr May 26th, 2010 7:22 PM

Noctowl. Access to psychic attacks is just too damn smexy to hate. :D

grey†fish May 27th, 2010 1:31 AM

1) Fearow
2) Pidgeot
3) Noctowl

…that's just me though :\

Alkaide May 27th, 2010 3:51 AM

I've always preferred Pidgeot, I advice you the same.

derozio May 27th, 2010 4:18 AM

I prefer Pidgeot over both Fearow and Nocktowl. It's got a better design, IMO. So yeah. xD;

SiReNzZ May 27th, 2010 4:36 AM

I think that Pidgeot is the best of the three .
I dont think Fearow looks good at all :/
As for Noctowl I guess I havent used it much to choose it as my favorite of the three :) .

shengar May 27th, 2010 6:40 AM

Although i'm bored of using Pidgeot as my main Flying pokemon, my vote goes for it

What he said! XD; Pidgeot has the best aesthetics but it's really hard to raise early on. The rest are "meh" for me.

Agent Clank May 27th, 2010 9:08 AM

I like Noctowl The best cause he is cool and strong.

Elise May 27th, 2010 9:18 AM

Out of the three choices I would choose Pidgeot. Not super hard to raise and generally a good flyer to have on your team. I usually have one on my team, depending on the game :)

Rapide May 27th, 2010 9:18 AM

I prefer Pigeot because it can learn many attacks, it has a high speed base stat, and it looks pretty cool.

Dawn Rules May 27th, 2010 1:55 PM

Noctowl is the best then Fearow then Pidgeot.

Erm you realize that Noctowl isn't Psychic, right?

Anyways I vote Fearow...Pidgeot is okay, but I think Pidgeotto is much cooler...anyways Noctowl is fairly good, but I prefer Fearow out of this trio...

Aether May 27th, 2010 3:01 PM

Noctowl hands down. Owls are awesome and Noctowl completely wrecks ghosts.

Porygon-Z May 27th, 2010 5:55 PM

If it's for battling, you should go with Swellow instead of any of these 3, it's much better!!

However of the 3, I prefer Fearow!

Eeohnex May 27th, 2010 8:12 PM

I don't know why but I prefer Pidgeot, it's maybe because it was one of the first Pokémon to appeared in the anime, and when it evolves into Pidgeot it's a beast.

Dr. Faustus May 27th, 2010 11:21 PM

When it comes to movepool, I'd choose Noctowl, he learns Hypnosis and Psychic moves, which complement his [mediocre] Sp.Atk.
When it comes to stats, it'd be Fearow. Fearow has higher Speed and Attack, but he has lower defenses than Pidgeot. Pidgeot has more HP and defenses (not that it matters for him, anyway. He can't take a hit. Heck, none of them can.), but less Speed and Attack.

Mumfie May 28th, 2010 12:54 PM

I'd have to say Pidgeot, for good old sentimental reasons. 1st gen.

amberrelf May 28th, 2010 3:08 PM

Pidgeot and Noctowl are both pretty awesome.
But....... I'm gonna have to go with Pidgeot.
Pidgeot is the first bird type I remember, and one of the coolest bird types out there.(:

Meegz0 May 28th, 2010 3:15 PM

I've always loved pidgeot. He always wound up to be a power house in all of my games.

Anti_Secret May 28th, 2010 3:22 PM

Noctowl. I like owls, and being able to learn psychic moves was helpful in some situations.

GlalieX May 28th, 2010 5:16 PM

Pidgeot. I just never really liked Noctowl or Fearow..

Eurydice May 28th, 2010 6:33 PM

i prefer pidgeot, it has been on my team since the first game i played

Jarate May 28th, 2010 7:14 PM

Fearow, because after all, who would want to mess with a Ferocious, (Or should I say Fearowcious?) sharp beaked bird that could potentially bore a hole through your skull?

Not I.

loliwin May 28th, 2010 7:56 PM

I go for Pidgeot. Only cause it has FeatherDance. XD

livelyhans May 28th, 2010 8:22 PM

one word for ya... The Best Night OwL :"NoctowL..!!!"
My anczestor zayz:"look on it's eyes... u'll "fell to ur nightmare...:badsmile:"

Idiot! May 28th, 2010 9:23 PM

Dodrio > Fearow > Pidgeot > Noctowl

Noctowl is never part Psychic. Xatu is.

Ayselipera May 29th, 2010 11:50 AM

My favorite is Fearow. I think it looks better then the other three design wise and is decent on its own.

Pidgeot would be my second choice and then Noctowl. If we added in all the birds Noctowl would actually be one of my least favorites. I find it really boring and annoying.

Eleken May 31st, 2010 7:30 AM

Noctowl is pretty god in UU game with hypnosis, night shade, roost and whirlwind. I prefer him, but pidgeot look better.

Pidgeot is Life May 31st, 2010 7:57 AM

Pidgeot! Raaaaaaaaaah!

It's almighty awesomeness is not to be reckoned with! Raaaaaaaaah!

Colorado Avalanche May 31st, 2010 5:50 PM

Pidgeot because one of the best pokemon for a starter trainer.
Very good Attack and Speed.

Useful in NU battles.

mondays suck June 1st, 2010 7:58 AM

Clearly Fearow. Nice offensive stats, and, which is more important, Drill Peck. Dodrio might outclass it, but Fearow is still pretty awesome.

Noctowl...? Access to psychic moves might be pretty cool and everything, but Psychic doesn't anything Drill Peck can't. Also, I'm not really into defensive playing, unless it's a farm Nuzlocke run.

Pidgeot has the most balanced stats which isn't necessarily a good thing, because excelling at one or two things is better than being decent everywhere. Also, it, again, lacks Drill Peck.

Donphan13 June 1st, 2010 9:37 AM

Noctowl Hypnosis and Dream Eater Combo FTW

Sakura Rain June 2nd, 2010 8:10 PM

Noctowl ftw. Partly for the fact that it learns Psychic type moves and partly for nostalgia factor. It looks awesome, too. I love owls <3

Numbers June 3rd, 2010 12:44 PM

I chose Pidgeot because I think design-wise it looks the coolest of the three :D but in terms of what moves they can use I think I'd give that one to Noctowl because of its psychic traits!

Camara June 4th, 2010 3:24 PM

Pidgeot, because I find it cooler and because it's the most balanced of the 3. Yeah, battle-wise sucks comparing to Noctowl special defense capacity and movepool, but still I like balanced pokémons.

IcyArceusRider June 4th, 2010 8:30 PM

I like Noctowl the best. Just because I'm an owl person. I think owls are my favorite kinds of birds. Noctowl is pretty, and it's not a bad pokemon, either. :)

MalRune June 4th, 2010 9:16 PM

Fearow, obviously. I felt the draw towards the Spearow / Fearow line when it promptly attacked Ash and his Pikachu and maintained its status as a pretty vicious pokemon. Besides, it's so much cuter than Noctowl of Pidgeot -- the sharp angles and vicious, ruffled look is about as dreamy as you can get in a pokemon.

InfernoHo-Oh June 4th, 2010 10:56 PM

I like both Pidgeot and Noctowl. Not really Fearow that much.
I like Noctowl for its power to make the foe asleep!

TehYoshiNinja June 4th, 2010 11:37 PM

Ah, I must admit Pidgeot is the best for me.

Maybe because of its awesome hair, its obtainability, its Mirror Move -- but meh. I don't like Pidgeotto, the Taillow line or the Starly line.

Doduo-Dodrio, Spearow-Fearow and Hoothoot-Noctowl are all fine by me, but Pidgeot's just too awesome.

Maybe because a while back, when I first got LeafGreen, a Lv.3 (yes, I remember) Pidgey was the first Poke I ever caught... it took it three years to evolve (two and a half of which consisted of forgetting about the game), because I to put it simply SUCKED back then.

In fact, I only beat the E4 a few months back... Argh, I don't know, LG just seems so much slower than RBY...

AAAANYWAY. Off-topic.

Neurotripsy June 5th, 2010 4:44 PM

I think I like Pidgeot best. Fearow never really appealed to me, but Noctowl's okay.

Aggressor June 6th, 2010 11:39 PM

Pidgeot has a sexy hair style :)
