| ====Name origin==== | | ====Name origin==== |
Fearow (Japanese: オニドリル Onidrill) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves from Spearow starting at level 20.
Biology
Fearow is a large, mostly brown avian Pokémon with a vulturine neck and broad, powerful wings. It has a long, pointed, pink beak, and a decorative red coxcomb on top of its head. Its narrow eyes have very small pupils, and do not appear to have colored irises. It has shaggy, feathers on the base of its neck and covering the upper portion of its wings. These feathers are cream-colored, as are the tips of its flight feathers. Its sharp-clawed talons are pink, with three toes pointing forward and one pointing backward.
Fearow's large wings and stamina allow it to fly for an entire day without landing. It will shoot upward, and then dive down to catch prey. Its long neck and beak allow it to pluck prey from both land and water, and it will even catch tiny insects that hide underground. Fearow is found in wastelands and desolate fields.

In Pokémon Origins
Red caught a Fearow in File 4: Charizard.
In Pokémon Generations
A wild Fearow appeared near the Indigo Plateau in The Legacy.
In the manga
In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga
- Main article: Ash's Fearow
Ash owns a Fearow in the manga The Electric Tale of Pikachu. It is one of the few Pokémon that Ash owns in the manga but not in the anime. It was given the nickname "Fearless" in Play Misty For Me.
Ash captured Fearow in the first chapter, Pikachu, I See You!. It was his first capture (besides Pikachu, who was not technically captured in a Poké Ball in the manga). Ash sometimes has trouble getting Fearow to obey him.
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Fearow debuts in the Red, Green & Blue arc in ...But Fearow Itself! when a wild one kidnaps a mutated Bill. It was a tough old bird, able to swiftly dodge Pika's Thunder Wave and Poli's Ice Beam (humorously causing Bill to get hit with the attacks), and even survived a Thunder from the former, after which it uses Drill Peck. Poli, however, was narrowly able to counter the move by using Double Team and landed a powerful Ice attack to incapacitate it at last. Red catches it afterwards, much to the shock of Bill.
In The Coming of Slowpoke (Eventually) the Pokémon Fan Club President owns a Fearow after watching the Ninth Triennial Indigo League two years ago. It is notable that it has the move Pay Day.
A wild Fearow appeared flying over New Bark Town in Number One Donphan.
Later Crystal mentions that she captured a Fearow on her way to Professor Elm's Lab in Three Cheers for Chikorita.
Professor Oak also owns a Fearow that evolved from his surprisingly formidable Spearow sometime prior to Going Green.
