Farfetch'd (Japanese: カモネギ Kamonegi) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Farfetch'd resembles a brown duck with a white underbelly. It has a yellow beak and a V-shaped, black marking on its forehead. It has wings as big as its body, which appear to be prehensile enough to substitute for hands. It has yellow legs with webbed feet.
Farfetch'd is always seen carrying a leek stalk or spring onion. It carries it in its wings, and sometimes chooses to hold it in its beak or feet instead. Unable to live without its stick, Farfetch'd will defend the stalk with its life. Known uses for the stick include use as a weapon, nesting material, and emergency food source. It is selective about which sticks it will use, and has been known to fight over good ones. Farfetch'd is found in grasslands.

Origin
Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:
Farfetch'd may be inspired by the Japanese saying 「鴨が葱を背負って来る」, literally translating to "a duck comes bearing green onions". As a saying, it means "something surprising but convenient". The phrase can be shortened simply to 「鴨葱」.
Name origin
Farfetch'd is derived from far-fetched, meaning unbelievable, perhaps relating to the "far-fetched" theme of its Japenese name. It could also refer to the game of fetch, which animals play using objects.
Kamonegi is a combination of 鴨 kamo (wild duck) and 葱 negi (spring onion). Additionally, 鴨葱 kamonegi is an abbreviation of the proverb 「鴨が葱をしょって来る」 ("a duck comes bearing green onions"), which means "something surprising but convenient".
