Taillow (Japanese: スバメ Subame) is a Normal/Flying-type Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Taillow are small bird Pokémon with dark blue feathers with patches of red on their chest and forehead. Their wingtips are elongated and configured for speed and maneuverability. They also possess two sharp tail feathers. Their beak is somewhat short, but pretty wide.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Taillow have fantastic speed and aerial abilities. In addition to this, they become even more aggressive if they are attacked.
Behavior
Much like other small bird Pokémon like Pidgey, Spearow and Starly, they congregate in big flocks looking for food to eat. Unlike more the more docile Pidgey, They are very brave for such small Pokémon, and will even stand up to much larger Pokémon. However, they tend to balk when they are hungry and they dislike cold climates. So they tend to migrate to look for food and warm weather.
