What is the hybridization of a pi bond?

Not sure what you mean; It's just when they overlap. In a previous post on this website, someone said "The purpose of hybridization is to see the types of bonds that the atoms share with each other, whether it be sigma or pi bonds. The different types of bonds allow different properties, like how pi bonds do not allow rotation whereas sigma bonds are rotational.". Pi bond come from two P orbitals overlapping, and hybrid orbitals are a combination of s and p orbitals overlapping.

I'm unsure what you mean. Pi bonds and hybridization overlap.

As an example: Let's assume one pi bond in a molecule. That still only counts as one bond for hybridization. So, it would be s
