===Physiology===
Spearow is an {{wp|bird|avian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is very small. It has rough, brown plumage on its head and three brown tail feathers. It has narrow, dark brown eyes with white pupils and a short, hooked beak that is light pink. The feathers covering its wings are pinkish-red with lighter tips, and it has a beige underside with two thin, horizontal stripes. Its light pink feet have two toes in front and one in the back. Black feathers cover its back.
Spearow is a brown {{dl|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a single pair of wings|avian}} Pokémon that is very small. It has rough {{wp|plumage}} on its head, with a beak shape similar to that of {{wp|Bird of prey|raptors}}, being short but hooked. Spearow’s underside is beige in coloration, with a patterning of two thin stripes. Spearow’s light-pink feet have three talons, and its wings are a pinkish-red with lighter edges. Spearow’s back is black in coloration, and it has three brown-colored tail feathers.  


====Gender differences====
Although inept at other aspects of its flying, such as height and distance, Spearow is still capable of flying quickly to protect its territory. However, it must flap its wings at high speeds to stay aloft. Spearow's loud shrieks can be heard over half a mile (one kilometer) away, and are used to warn other of its kind of danger. In the [[EP001|first episode]] of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', Spearow is revealed to see in black and white and will chase its foes in a large flock. Spearow are found naturally in open habitats with warmer climates, mainly {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|desolate wastelands and fields}}, where it hunts for insects. {{p|Ekans}} is a natural predator of Spearow. Spearow preys on {{p|Sunkern}}.
None.


===Special abilities===
===Evolution===
Although inept at other aspects of its {{m|Fly|flying}}, such as height and distance, Spearow is still capable of flying quickly to protect its territory. Spearow is described as being frail, but still allegedly capable of being a tough Pokémon due to its ability to use {{m|Mirror Move}}.
Spearow evolves into {{p|Fearow}}.


===Behavior===
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)
 
<div style="float:center; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
Spearow are easily angered and very protective of their territory, and may chase after foes in large flocks. Spearow is required to flap its wings at incredibly high speeds to stay airborne, and thus is inept at flying high or for long distances. However, it is still capable of flying very quickly to protect its territory, and while doing such, it makes a high-pitched cry. Spearow’s cry is very loud and can be heard half a mile (one kilometer) away, and if the cry is heard echoing all around, it is a sign that they are warning each other of danger. Spearow is also depicted to see in black and white.

=====[[Ash's Fearow|Spearow (anime)]]=====
A large flock of Spearow debuted in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', where it attacked {{Ash}} after he hit one particular Spearow on the head with a rock to weaken it (because {{AP|Pikachu}} refused to [[Obedience|obey]] and battle), thinking it was a {{p|Pidgey}}.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* According to the anime, Spearow does not have the ability to perceive color. This is seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]''.
* Spearow shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Natu}}, and {{p|Rookidee}}. They are all known as the Tiny Bird Pokémon, though Natu has also been called a Little Bird Pokémon.
* Spearow shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Natu}}. They are all known as Tiny Bird Pokémon, though Natu has also been called a Little Bird Pokémon.
* Spearow is tied with {{p|Hoothoot}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Taillow}}, {{p|Wingull}}, {{p|Starly}}, and {{p|Pikipek}} for the lowest base {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* The English names of the Spearow family and {{p|Beedrill}} are almost reversed from the Japanese in that Beedrill is named Spear and {{p|Fearow}}, Spearow's evolution, is called Onidrill.


===Origin===
===Origin===
It has been suggested that Spearow resembles a {{wp|falcon}} of some sort rather than a {{wp|sparrow}}. Its stocky appearance is more sparrow-like, however.
Spearow seems to be based on a {{wp|old world sparrow|sparrow}} with characteristics of a {{wp|shrike}} such as its hooked beak. Shrikes are territorial and are sometimes called "butcher birds" due to their brutal feeding habits, which may be the basis for Spearow's aggressive nature.

Spearow (Japanese: オニスズメ Onisuzume) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves into Fearow starting at level 20.

Biology

Spearow is an avian Pokémon that is very small. It has rough, brown plumage on its head and three brown tail feathers. It has narrow, dark brown eyes with white pupils and a short, hooked beak that is light pink. The feathers covering its wings are pinkish-red with lighter tips, and it has a beige underside with two thin, horizontal stripes. Its light pink feet have two toes in front and one in the back. Black feathers cover its back.

Although inept at other aspects of its flying, such as height and distance, Spearow is still capable of flying quickly to protect its territory. However, it must flap its wings at high speeds to stay aloft. Spearow's loud shrieks can be heard over half a mile (one kilometer) away, and are used to warn other of its kind of danger. In the first episode of Pokémon the Series, Spearow is revealed to see in black and white and will chase its foes in a large flock. Spearow are found naturally in open habitats with warmer climates, mainly desolate wastelands and fields, where it hunts for insects. Ekans is a natural predator of Spearow. Spearow preys on Sunkern.

Evolution

Spearow evolves into Fearow.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Pokémon Adventures

Professor Oak had a Spearow in Just a Spearow Carrier. It was powerful enough to take down even a powerful Blastoise with its Mirror Move. In Do do that Doduo, Professor Oak used Spearow to battle Yellow to entrust Red's survival with proof of his skill, by ending the battle. It appeared again in Number One Donphan beside Oak while he was talking to Elm via PC. It later evolved into a Fearow prior to the FireRed & LeafGreen arc.

In a flashback in Growing Out of Gengar, two Spearow were driven away from their home after the Power Plant had been abandoned.

Trivia

Origin

Spearow seems to be based on a sparrow with characteristics of a shrike such as its hooked beak. Shrikes are territorial and are sometimes called "butcher birds" due to their brutal feeding habits, which may be the basis for Spearow's aggressive nature.

Name origin

Spearow may be a combination of spear (referring to its sharp beak) and sparrow.

Onisuzume may be a combination of 鬼 oni (ogre) and 雀 suzume (sparrow).
