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. The leeks they carry can be used as a weapon, allowing them to use moves like Night Slash, Poison Jab, Fury Cutter, and Leaf Blade.
Behavior
Farfetch'd are always seen carrying a leek stalk, or spring onion. They carry it in their wings, sometimes choosing to hold it in their beaks instead and holding it in their feet when flying. 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.
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. Farfetch'd are quite rare and are normally caught in Johto, although has been sighted in Kanto and Sinnoh.
Gold, Silver, and Crystal: The charcoal makers of Azalea Town own a Farfetch'd. However, it won't listen to the apprentice and runs off in the Ilex Forest. Herding it back to him earns the player an HM01 (Cut).
