Biology

Physiology

Farfetch'd resemble ducks. They have glossy brown plumage with a small crest. It also bares black plumage on its forehead that resembles eyebrows.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Its wings, are a bit more versatile than most birds' as their feathers can be used as "fingers", allowing it to carry a leek, or spring onion.

Behavior

Farfetch'd are always seen carrying a leek stalk, or spring onion. They carry it in their wings and sometimes choose to hold it in their beaks instead. Farfetch'd cannot live without its stick for unknown reasons, and will defend their stick with their life. The stick is also known to be used as nesting material and as a weapon. In case of an emergency situation where the Farfetch'd is starving, it will eat its own stick and hurry off to find a new one.

They are known to be picky in the kinds of sticks they accept. Farfetch'd have been known to fight each other over one 'good' stalk.

Habitat

Farfetch'd are found in grasslands, but it always has to be near water. Farfetch'd are also very good swimmers and are often found swimming in ponds.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Farfetch'd are an omnivorous species and will usually eat weeds and water plants.

In the anime

Farfetch'd made its first appearance in So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd under the ownership of a trainer who steals Pokémon from others.

In A Way Off, Day Off, Farfetch'd live on a deserted island which is the home of many different fruit trees.

It was also showcased in A Farfetch'd Tale where Team Rocket plans to eat it, an aspect of Pokémon world rarely touched on in the anime.

In Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl, multiple Farfetch'd appear when Crystal whistles.

In Smells Like Team Spirit, a Farfetch'd was used by Brock's battle partner Holly against Ash and Paul.

In the manga

Farfetch'd is the Pokémon owned by an Azalean boy as seen in Volume 8 of Pokémon Special. Both boy and Farfetch'd fell victim to the onslaught of Pryce's Pokémon in the depths of Ilex Forest.

Bill is later seen in Volume 10 riding a Farfetch'd as a mode of transport to pass Crystal the Portable Pokémon Transporter.

Trivia

• In numerical order, Farfetch'd is the first Pokémon in the National Dex that does not have an evolution family. It is also one of the few remaining Generation I Pokémon, excluding legendaries, that does not evolve into or from something, along with Kangaskhan, Pinsir, Tauros, Lapras, Ditto, and Aerodactyl.

Origin

Obviously, Farfetch'd is a duck that carries a leek.

Name origin

Farfetch'd's name comes from the word farfetched, which means unbelievable. It could also refer to the game of fetch, which animals play using sticks. Its Japanese name is a combination of 鴨 kamo, wild duck, and 葱 negi, spring onion. Additionally, 鴨葱 kamonegi is an abbreviation of 鴨が葱をしょって来る, a duck comes bearing spring onions.
