-Sirfetch'd is an avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a white duck, standing no taller than its pre-evolved form {{p|Farfetch'd}} and retaining its yellow beak, brown eyes, and eyebrow-like marking. Its legs and webbed feet are colored yellow, while the three-feather crest on its head and stubby tail are white. Its wings serve as humanoid hands, with the feathers at the end resembling fingers. It carries a massive leek in two parts, wielding the long, sharpened stalk as a lance and using the hard leaves as a shield.
+Sirfetch'd is an avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a white duck, standing no taller than its pre-evolved form {{p|Farfetch'd}} and retaining its yellow beak, legs and webbed feet; its brown eyes; its black eyebrow-like marking; and its stubby tail. It has a crest on its head, consisting of three feathers standing upright. Its wings serve as humanoid hands, with the feathers at the end resembling fingers. It carries a massive leek in two parts, wielding the long, sharpened stalk as a lance and using the hard leaves as a shield.
-It is said that this evolution was attained by Farfetch'd who have experienced and survived many battles. It is known to be calm and collected, preferring to fight fairly. Due to its noble nature, Sirfetch'd is often chosen as a motif for paintings; one famous painting in the [[Galar]] region shows a Sirfetch'd dueling with an {{p|Escavalier}}. The leek it carries is its most prized possession; it is used as both weapon and food, and maintained for many years. Once the leek finally withers, Sirfetch'd will retire from battle for good.<ref name=SWSHwebsite>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/sirfetchd/ Sirfetch'd | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

 * Sirfetch'd was [http://web.archive.org/web/20190913060258/https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/zbpkxr1gw8/ first teased] on {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s official website on September 13, 2019, with its [[Media:Sirfetch'd pixelated.png|appearance]], name, {{pkmn|category}}, and [[List of Pokémon by height|height]] heavily pixelated — the image was also rotated 90° left, and then horizontally inverted. On the [http://web.archive.org/web/20190913051434/https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/sword_shield/pokemon/190913_01.html Japanese], [http://web.archive.org/web/20190913064134/https://pokemonkorea.co.kr/sword_shield?qEXE8_8p2Swe&uid=newitem Korean], [http://web.archive.org/web/20190913063204/https://swordshield.portal-pokemon.com/tc/pokemon/11.html Traditional Chinese], and [http://web.archive.org/web/20190913063626/https://swordshield.portal-pokemon.com/sc/pokemon/11.html Simplified Chinese] official websites, its name was partially revealed. The link to the page played a {{p|Rotom}}'s [[cry]] when clicked, implicating it as the cause of the data corruption.
 ** The revealed parts of the Japanese, Korean, and Chinese were: ナイト ''naito'' (Japanese), 나이트 ''naiteu'' (Korean) and 兵 ''bīng'' (Chinese).
 * Sirfetch'd and {{p|Farfetch'd}} are the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an apostrophe in their names.
-* Despite "sir" being a male honorific, Sirfetch'd are [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|equally likely]] to be [[gender|female]].
+** Due to a bug in {{g|HOME}}, an unnicknamed Sirfetch'd transferred into HOME will be treated as a nicknamed Pokémon, due to HOME assigning a different character for the apostrophe in Sirfetch'd's species name (i.e. "Sirfetch’d"). The same applies to Farfetch'd.
+* Despite "Sir" being a male honorific, Sirfetch'd are [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|equally likely]] to be [[gender|female]].
 * Sirfetch'd can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Cursola}}. They are both mono-typed evolutions of [[regional form]]s whose original forms do not evolve. [[Bea]] uses Sirfetch'd in her team in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword}} in the [[Stow-on-Side Stadium|Stow-on-Side Gym]] and during the Champion Cup Finals, while [[Allister]] uses Cursola in his team in Pokémon Shield.
 * {{rf|Galarian}} Farfetch'd was released in [[Pokémon GO]] on June 17, 2020, shortly after Galarian {{p|Meowth}} and {{p|Zigzagoon}}. Although the latter two could evolve into {{p|Perrserker}} and {{p|Obstagoon}} upon release, respectively, Galarian Farfetch'd couldn't evolve into Sirfetch'd at the time. Sirfetch'd was later added to coincide with the release of [[The Crown Tundra]] for the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]] on October 22, 2020.
