Spearow (Japanese: オニスズメ, HepburnOnisuzume) (SPEAR-oh[1]) is a Normal/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Spearow are an avian species of Pokémon characterized by its short stature, brown body, and pale red wings. Its underbelly is beige while possessing a dark brown plumage on its head. Spearow's rear is black and its tail feathers are a shade of brown. Like all birds, it is equipped with talons used for manipulating objects or self-defense.

Behavior[]

Spearow prey on insects, and sometimes Sunkern, in grassy areas by flushing them out with their stubby wings, and plucking at them with their beaks. Spearow are very territorial, constantly buzzing about and calling with a loud cry that can be heard from half a mile away. This cry serves to scare away predators and to keep in touch with other Spearow, though the latter is reserved as an alarm to its kind.

Natural abilities[]

They are noted for being frail, for which they make up for with their "Mirror Move" ability.

Eggs laid by Spearow are known to be prey for hungry Ekans, which are known to be able to swallow them whole.

Evolution[]

Spearow evolves into Fearow at level 20.

Goh Spearow

Goh's Spearow.

In the very first episode of the animated series, protagonist Ash Ketchum attempts to capture a Spearow right outside his hometown, without Pikachu's help; however, he only angers the Pokémon by hurling a pebble at it. Spearow calls out to its large flock, which pursue Ash and Pikachu. Pikachu eventually disperses the flock with a massive lightning attack, upon witnessing Ash's willingness to sacrifice his safety for Pikachu's. Ash deals with the flock once more when he returns to Pallet Town, and realizes that the Fearow leading the flock is the Spearow he had previously tried to capture. The flock reappears in several flashbacks during Ash's journey.

Goh's owns a Spearow that he caught in PJ018.

Manga[]

Professor Oak had a Spearow in the Pokémon Adventures manga. He used it against Green in their Pokémon League battle. It later evolved into Fearow.

Trivia[]

Origin[]

Spearow, though its name implies it is based on sparrows, seems to be more based on a shrike. Shrikes are known for their brutal habit of skewing prey and are also highly territorial, lining up with Spearow's usually aggressive personality.

Etymology[]

Spearow is derived from the weapon, "spear", and "sparrow."

オニスズメ (Onisuzume in Romaji) from the Japanese words Oni (鬼) and Suzume (雀) which means sparrow.

Names in other languages[]

  • Spanish: Spearow
  • Italian: Spearow
  • French: Piafabec
  • German: Habitak
  • Swedish: Spjarv
  • Japanese: オニスズメ
  • Korean: 깨비참
