| Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock | The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of income-producing investments, and will typically invest between 35 - 65% of its assets in equity and equity-related securities (the “Equity Sleeve”) selected in accordance with PIMCO’s systematic equity income strategy. Equity-related securities include securities having an equity component (e.g., hybrids, bank capital, certain real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and business development companies (“BDCs”)) and equity derivatives. With respect to investments in equity securities, there is no limitation on the market capitalization range of the issuers in which the Fund may invest.The securities for the Equity Sleeve are selected by PIMCO from a broad universe of global equities. PIMCO’s systematic equity income strategy uses a factor risk model with constraints on sector, region and security exposures relative to the Fund’s primary benchmark. The strategy is primarily a model-driven approach subject to portfolio manager oversight. Portfolio managers have discretion to adjust the model over time and to selectively override the model in order to seek to achieve the Fund’s investment objectives.The Fund will also typically invest 35 – 65% of its assets in “Fixed Income Instruments” of varying maturities selected primarily based on their ability to deliver consistent income, subject to prudent risk management. Fixed Income Instruments include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The debt investments of the Fund may include investment-grade securities and high yield securities (“junk bonds”) of any rating.The Fund’s approach to fixed income securities selection incorporates PIMCO’s global macroeconomic views and multi-sector fixed income investment expertise. The Fund’s fixed income assets are selected based on fundamental analysis, as well as PIMCO’s view regarding the attractiveness of key investment risk factors.Outside of the Equity Sleeve and fixed income portions of the Fund’s portfolio described above, the Fund may tactically allocate up to 15% of its assets in other income-producing investments, which can include but are not limited to a combination of Acquired Funds (defined below), REITs, preferred securities and BDCs. These investments may be utilized in PIMCO’s discretion, subject to the restrictions and limitations of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).The Fund may invest in the least expensive class of shares of any actively managed or smart beta funds (including mutual funds or exchange-traded funds) of the Trust, or PIMCO ETF Trust or PIMCO Funds, each an affiliated open-end investment company, except funds of funds and PIMCO California Municipal Intermediate Value Fund, PIMCO California Municipal Opportunistic Value Fund, PIMCO National Municipal Intermediate Value Fund and PIMCO National Municipal Opportunistic Value Fund (“Underlying PIMCO Funds”), and may also invest in other unaffiliated funds and exchange-traded funds (collectively, “Acquired Funds”).The Fund may also invest in derivative instruments, such as options, futures contracts, swap agreements, equity-linked notes, equity-linked securities and participatory notes, consistent with its investment objectives. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis and may engage in short sales. The Fund may also enter into reverse repurchase agreements and lend portfolio securities.The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in securities and instruments that are economically tied to foreign (non-U.S.) countries. The Fund may obtain foreign currency exposure (from non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities or currencies) without limitation. The Fund may invest up to 50% of its total assets in securities and instruments that are economically tied to emerging market countries (this limitation does not apply to investment grade sovereign debt denominated in the local currency with less than 1 year remaining to maturity, which means the Fund may invest in such instruments without limitation subject to any applicable legal or regulatory limitation). | ||||||||||

| PIMCO Dividend and Income Fund | Equity Risk [Member] | ||||||||||||
| Risk Return Abstract | rr_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | rr_RiskTextBlock | Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity or equity-related securities, such as common stocks and preferred securities, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity or equity-related securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities.

| PIMCO Dividend and Income Fund | Dividend Oriented Stocks Risk [Member] | ||||||||||||
| Risk Return Abstract | rr_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | rr_RiskTextBlock | Dividend-Oriented Stocks Risk: companies that have paid regular dividends to shareholders may decrease or eliminate dividend payments in the future. A decrease in dividend payments by an issuer may result in a decrease in the value of the security held by the Fund or the Fund receiving less income. In addition, equity securities with higher dividend yields may be sensitive to changes in interest rates, and as interest rates rise, the prices of such securities may fall. The Fund's use of a dividend capture strategy (i.e., purchasing an equity security shortly before the issuer pays a dividend and selling it shortly thereafter) exposes the Fund to higher portfolio turnover, increased trading costs, the potential for capital loss, particularly in the event of significant short-term price movements of stocks subject to dividend capture trading and may result in negative tax consequences | ||||||||||

Issuers may call outstanding securities prior to their maturity for a number of reasons (e.g., declining interest rates, changes in credit spreads and improvements in the issuer’s credit quality).

Changes in the value of a derivative or other similar investment may not correlate perfectly with, and may be more sensitive to market events than, the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the initial amount invested. Changes in the value of a derivative or other similar instrument may also create margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund. The Fund’s use of derivatives or other similar investments may result in losses to the Fund, a reduction in the Fund’s returns and/or increased volatility. Non-centrally-cleared over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives or other similar investments are also subject to the risk that a counterparty to the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations to the other party, as many of the protections afforded to centrally-cleared derivative transactions might not be available for non-centrally-cleared OTC derivatives or other similar investments. The primary credit risk on derivatives or other similar investments that are exchange-traded or traded through a central clearing counterparty resides with the Fund's clearing broker or the clearinghouse. Changes in regulation relating to a registered fund’s use of derivatives and related instruments could potentially limit or impact the Fund’s ability to invest in derivatives, limit the Fund’s ability to employ certain strategies that use derivatives or other similar investments and/or adversely affect the value of derivatives or other similar investments and the Fund’s performance | ||||||||||
| PIMCO Dividend and Income Fund | Model Risk [Member] | ||||||||||||
| Risk Return Abstract | rr_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | rr_RiskTextBlock | Model Risk: the risk that the Fund’s investment models used in making investment allocation decisions may not adequately take into account certain factors, or may contain design flaws or faulty assumptions, and may rely on incomplete or inaccurate data inputs, any of which may result in a decline in the value of an investment in the Fund | ||||||||||
| PIMCO Dividend and Income Fund | Mortgage Related and Other Asset Backed Securities Risk [Member] | ||||||||||||
| Risk Return Abstract | rr_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | rr_RiskTextBlock | Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk: the risks of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk, prepayment risk and credit risk. The Fund may invest in any tranche of mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including junior and/or equity tranches (to the extent consistent with other of the Fund's guidelines), which generally carry higher levels of the foregoing risks | ||||||||||
| PIMCO Dividend and Income Fund | Short Exposure Risk [Member] | ||||||||||||
| Risk Return Abstract | rr_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | rr_RiskTextBlock | Short Exposure Risk: the risk of entering into short sales or other short positions, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale or other short position will not fulfill its contractual obligations, causing a loss to the Fund | ||||||||||
| PIMCO Dividend and Income Fund | Exchange Traded Fund Risk [Member] | ||||||||||||
| Risk Return Abstract | rr_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | rr_RiskTextBlock | Exchange-Traded Fund Risk: the risk that an exchange-traded fund may not track the performance of the index it is designed to track, among other reasons, because of exchange rules, market prices of shares of an exchange-traded fund may fluctuate rapidly and materially, or shares of an exchange-traded fund may trade significantly above or below net asset value, any of which may cause losses to the Fund invested in the exchange-traded fund | ||||||||||
| PIMCO Dividend and Income Fund | Tracking Error Risk [Member] | ||||||||||||
| Risk Return Abstract | rr_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | rr_RiskTextBlock | Tracking Error Risk: the risk that the portfolio of a Fund that seeks to track the investment results of an underlying index may not closely track the underlying index for a number of reasons. The Fund incurs operating expenses, which are not applicable to the underlying index, and the costs of buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s portfolio to reflect changes in the composition of the underlying index. Performance of the Fund and the underlying index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between the Fund’s portfolio and the underlying index due to legal restrictions, cost or liquidity restraints. The risk that performance of the Fund and the underlying index may vary may be heightened during periods of increased market volatility or other unusual market conditions. In addition, a Fund’s use of a representative sampling approach may cause the Fund to be less correlated to the return of the underlying index than if the Fund held all of the securities in the underlying index | ||||||||||
| PIMCO Dividend and Income Fund | Indexing Risk [Member] | ||||||||||||
| Risk Return Abstract | rr_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | rr_RiskTextBlock | Indexing Risk: the risk that an Underlying PIMCO Fund that seeks to track the investment results of an underlying index is negatively affected by general declines in the asset classes represented by the underlying index | ||||||||||
| PIMCO Dividend and Income Fund | Collateralized Loan Obligations Risk [Member] | ||||||||||||
| Risk Return Abstract | rr_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | rr_RiskTextBlock | Collateralized Loan Obligations Risk: the risk that investing in collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and other similarly structured investments exposes the Fund to heightened credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, market risk and prepayment and extension risk, as well as the risk of default on the underlying asset. In addition, investments in CLOs carry additional risks including, but not limited to:(i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; (ii) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; (iii) risks related to the capability of the servicer of the securitized assets; (iv) the risk that the Fund may invest in tranches of CLOs that are subordinate to other tranches; (v) the structure and complexity of the transaction and the legal documents may not be fully understood at the time of investment and could lead to disputes with the issuer or among investors regarding the characterization of proceeds or unexpected investment results; and (vi) the CLO's manager may perform poorly | ||||||||||
