Anime

Ash's Pidove.
Ash had a female Pidove. She evolved into a Tranquill later on in the anime when he help remove the Venipede from Castelia City. Then she evolved into an Unfezant during Ash's battle with Skyla and helped him won the gym badge.
A Pidove is set to appear in PJ029.
Trivia
- Pidove appears to be of the same value as Kanto's Pidgey, Johto's Hoothoot, Hoenn's Taillow, Sinnoh's Starly and Kalos' Fletchling.
- This Pokémon was revealed along with six other Pokémon in July's issue of CoroCoro on June 11, 2010, as was among the first "regular" Pokémon revealed.
- This is the first time that a Normal/Flying type Pokémon does not appear until after the first badge is earned.
- Pidove's shiny form is likely based on the coloration of the diamond dove while its normal form is based on the sooty colors of a city-dwelling dove or pigeon.
- Pidove, like Pikachu, has two broad stripes running horizontally across its back.
Origin
Pidove is based on a pigeon, a bird common in urban areas.
Etymology
Pidove's comes from the English words "pigeon" and "dove", both of which are very similar birds.
Its Japanese name may be a combination of 豆 (mame, bean, which can be used metaphorically to mean "small"), and ハト hato, pigeon.
