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

Physiology

Farfetch'd resemble ducks. They have glossy brown plumage with a small crest. It also bears black plumage on its forehead that resembles eyebrows.

Gender differences

None.

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.

Behavior

Farfetch'd are always seen carrying a leek stalk, or spring onion. They carry it in their wings and sometimes choose to hold it in their beaks instead. 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.

It was also showcased in A Farfetch'd Tale where Team Rocket plans to eat it, an aspect of Pokémon world rarely touched on in the anime.

In Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl, multiple Farfetch'd appear when Crystal whistles.

In Smells Like Team Spirit, a Farfetch'd was used by Brock's battle partner Holly against Ash and Paul.

Trivia

• In numerical order, Farfetch'd is the first Pokémon in the National Pokédex that does not have an evolution family. It is also one of the few remaining Generation I Pokémon, excluding legendaries, that does not evolve into or from something in later generations, along with Kangaskhan, Pinsir, Tauros, Lapras, Ditto, and Aerodactyl.

• Farfetch'd can learn Fury Cutter by level up in Generation III. But is is incompatible with the Generation III move tutor that teaches the same move, though it is fixed in the Platinum move tutor.

Origin

Farfetch'd's origin might come from legends of a duck that carries a leek coming to lost and starving travelers in forests, offering itself to be eaten.

Name origin

Farfetch'd's name comes from the word farfetched, which means unbelievable. It could also refer to the game of fetch, which animals play using sticks. Its Japanese name is a combination of 鴨 kamo, wild duck, and 葱 negi, spring onion. Additionally, 鴨葱 kamonegi is an abbreviation of 鴨が葱をしょって来る, a duck comes bearing spring onions.

In other languages

• German: Porenta - A combination of Porree and Ente, meaning "duck".
• French: Canarticho - Canard means duck, artichau means artichoke, in reference to the vegetable in its hand.
• Korean: 파오리 Paori - from "파" (pa, onion/scallion) and "오리" (ori, duck).
