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 anime, 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.
In the anime
Main series
Major appearances
Spearow (anime)
A large flock of Spearow debuted in Pokémon - I Choose You!, where it attacked Ash after he hit one particular Spearow on the head with a rock to weaken it (because Pikachu refused to obey and battle), thinking it was a Pidgey.

They also reappeared in I Choose You!, which was set in a timeline different to that of the main series.

Trivia
- Spearow shares its category with Pidgey, Natu, and Rookidee. They are all known as the Tiny Bird Pokémon, though Natu has also been called a Little Bird Pokémon.
- Spearow is tied with Starly, Pikipek, Taillow, Ledyba, Hoothoot, and Wingull for the lowest base Defense of all Flying-type Pokémon.
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 (demon) and 雀 suzume (sparrow).
