Pyrogeon

Pyrogeon is dual Fire-Flying type Pokemon introduced in Pokemon West and East in 1990, replacing Donferno. It evolves from Crispigeon starting at level 16, which evolves to Charaptor starting at level 32.

Description Pyrogeon resembles a pigeon mixed with a falcon. It has hot red feathers, an orange tuft, an orange piece of fur on its forehead, and it has golden feet. It has a flame on its tail.
