Mega Pidgeot. Praise Bird Jesus, finally Pidgeot will do something (or not)! My favourite pokémon.
I think No Guard was basically given to him because of Hurricane. You know, Hurricanes and Gusts and stuff are part of Pidgeot imaginary, so they wanted to give him this niche.
Now, for it to be viable naturally Sp Attack needs to rise A LOT.
I would like something like
103 (+20)
80
75
130 (+60)
70
121 (+20)
So Pidgeot would be a fast powerfull special attacker with decentish bulk. So without being OP it would be a good mon.
As long as the Sp Attack is in the 120-ish mark I think Mega Pidgeot will be viable if you want a flying special sweeper.
But I don't think they will do it like that, I think they'll spread it a bit more, like increasing the attack too and not being that generous in special attack. So it can be a lot less reliable with sub-par Hurricanes.
It could relearn Work Up to boost the Sp Attack while having Brave Bird too to threaten special walls. And Mirror Move can be fun.
As for new attacks, Boomburst makes sense. Extremespeed could make some sense too.
Nasty Plot would help, but I don't see Pidgeot as making sense of it. Bulk Up yes.
If they want to go crazy, they could give him Thunder, because of storm related reasons. A super long stretch, I don't think it's likely.
