Pidgey

Gold
It usually hides in tall grass. Because it dislikes fighting, it protects itself by kicking up sand.
Silver
Common in grassy areas and forests, it is very docile and will chase off enemies by flapping up sand.
Crystal
It rapidly flaps its wings in the grass, stirring up a dust cloud that drives insect prey out into the open.
