Type: Normal/Flying
Steve's Nickname: The Harrier Pokémon (vertical takeoff and landing)
Name Origin: Name is a play on pigeon.

My Thoughts: One thing I've always disagreed with on the cartoon with is its assertion that this Pokémon can fly at mach two, since the sonic boom would probably just kill the poor thing (then again, I have no problem with these creatures sending out psychic energy and thunderbolts).

Steve's Nickname: The Beam-Me-Up Scotty Pokémon
