How To Get the Pidgeotite (Intriguing Stone) in Pokémon ORAS

You will get the Intriguing Stone (which becomes the Pidgeotite) from a girl in Verdanturf Town after helping her find a lost Shroomish. Once you have the Intriguing Stone, take it to Mr. Stone in Rustboro City and he will reveal it as the Pidgeotite Mega Stone.

The Intriguing Stone becomes available when you first gain access to Verdanturf, so you can get it at any point after that.

This makes the Pidgeotite one of the earlier-game Mega Stones you can acquire.

Using the Pidgeotite

Mega evolving a Pidgeot.

Pidgeotite is a Mega Stone that you can equip to a Pidgeot in your party, and it will be able to evolve into Mega Pidgeot in battle.

These are Mega Pidgeot’s base stats:

HP	83
Attack	80
Defense	80
Sp. Attack	135
Sp. Defense	80
Speed	121

Mega Pidgeot gains the ability No Guard, which lets the Pokémon bypass accuracy checks. This gives Mega Pidgeot access to a STAB-boosted Hurricane that is always going to hit.

However, No Guard has a major drawback:

It also lets the opposing Pokémon ignore its own accuracy checks.

This makes Mega Pidgeot an easy target for low-accuracy moves like Stone Edge and Thunder.

So this can be worth using, but it really depends on your team setup.

With high Special Attack and Speed, Mega Pidgeot can act as a late sweeper on hyper-offense teams.

But on the other hand, Mega Pidgeot is extremely frail, and it has a distinct lack of coverage moves. With No Guard, Mega Pidgeot becomes an easy prey for Electric- and Rock-type Pokémon.
