Spearow (Japanese: オニスズメ Onisuzume) is a Normal/Flying-type Pokémon.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Red and Blue

Eats bugs in grassy areas. Spearow has to flap its short wings at high speed to stay airborne.

Pokémon Yellow

Inept at flying high. However, it can fly around very fast to protect its territory.

Pokémon Stadium

Its wings are short, so it can't fly a long distance. If it's not eating, it darts around in a hurry.

Pokémon Gold / Pokémon Stadium 2

It flaps its short wings to flush out insects from tall grass. It then plucks them with its stubby beak.

Pokémon Silver

Very protective of its territory, it flaps its short wings busily to dart around at high speed.

Pokémon Crystal

To protect its territory, it flies around ceaselessly, making high-pitched cries.

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire

Spearow has a very loud cry that can be heard over half a mile away. If its high, keening cry is heard echoing all around, it is a sign that they are warning each other of danger.

Pokémon Emerald

Its loud cry can be heard over half a mile away. If its high, keening cry is heard echoing all around, it is a sign that they are warning each other of danger.

Pokémon FireRed

It busily flits around here and there. Even if it is frail, it can be a tough foe that uses Mirror Move.

Pokémon LeafGreen

Eats bugs in grassy areas. It has to flap its short wings rapidly to stay airborne.

Name origin

Spearow's name may be a combination of the words spear and sparrow. Its Japanese name can be taken to mean 鬼雀, demon sparrow.

It has been suggested that Spearow resembles a falcon of some sort rather than a sparrow.
