07Why Collectors Want It

Released in 2000's Gym Challenge, the WotC-era set that paired each Kanto gym leader with their themed Pokémon.
Koga's Pidgeotto ties the middle-evolution slot to Fuchsia City's Poison-type gym leader, whose anime team leaned on Bug/Flying Pokémon.
Raw asking sits in the mid-teens; graded copies trade meaningfully above raw, with Gym Challenge holo centering and edge wear the usual downgrades.
A natural pickup for collectors building the Gym Leader chronology or completing the WotC-era Pidgeot line.

08Competitive Playability

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Pidgeotto PSA 10 populations vary; small numbers across most sets.

Graded copies command notable premiums over raw, especially for 1st Edition prints.

Other graders: BGS and CGC also grade vintage Pokemon; PSA dominates secondary-market liquidity.
