Fearow (Passer onidoriru)
Height: 3’11” Weight: 83.8 lbs
Fearow is a large avian with a huge wingspan. Fearow often live in alone, unlike their younger form (A young Fearow is often called a Spearow). Fearow do not look after their young as they put them in flocks since birth. It has large wings coloured in shades of brown, an orange coloured crest on its head and a long and narrow beak. It is mainly recognized by its long neck and elongated beak, among other features. The neck and beak are well adapted for Fearow to pluck prey from soil or water. It feeds mainly on small insects and fish, examples being Caterpie and Magikarp.
All the characteristics of Fearow are a vast difference from when it was a Spearow. The most radical change is in its wings. Using its magnificent wings, Fearow can catch air currents and effortlessly glide over long distances. It can keep aloft for as long as a day without having to ever stop for a rest. If a Fearow senses danger, it will immediately rise high into the sky.
With its long beak, Fearow has a surprisingly long range of attack, making it rather dangerous in battle. It can also attack by rising high up in the air, then swooping down to dive bomb its target. Usually, it couples this move by spinning around in midair, diving down on its opponent while impaling its foe with its beak. This move, which has been touted as Fearow’s signature move, has been called a Drill Peck.
Young Fearows are commonly referred to as Spearows. Spearow, in contrast to its adult form, has short and stubby wings. This means that it has to fly fast in order to sty airborne. Therefore, it cannot fly far, neither can it fly high. It mainly feeds on small insects in grassy areas, and often uses its wings to flush the insects out. After doing that, it plucks at the insects with its beak. Not being the strongest of Pokemon, it makes high pitched sounds to scare of other Pokemon and protect its territory.
Despite being one of the weaker Pokemon, Spearow can protect itself well. If threatened and cornered by an enemy, it will still fight back, often calling its flock to help avenge it. It also has great defensive abilities, having the power to use Mirror Move (an attack which sends the opponent’s attack back at the opponent). Spearow have been known to nurse grudges for a long time as well. There has been a real life account by a Pokemon Trainer named Ash Ketchum. The Spearow that he had unwittingly angered came after him as a Fearow when he returned to his hometown a year later.
