Ash's Fearow (Japanese: サトシのオニドリル Satoshi's Onidrill) is a Pokémon that Ash caught in The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga.

In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga

Ash's Fearow is one of the major alterations from the anime in The Electric Tale of Pikachu. It is the first wild Pokémon Ash caught in this canon. It stays Ash's major Flying-type, as his Pidgeotto abandons him early on.

Fearow was a leader of a group of Spearow, which attacked and exhausted Ash's Pikachu. However, Pikachu defeated Fearow with a Thunder Shock, so Ash was able to catch it, turning Fearow into one of his most used Pokémon in this manga, staying with him the entire way. In Play Misty For Me, Ash attempts to have it battle against Misty at the Cerulean Gym (during which he had to get his hat back from her), but it comes out with a sign around its neck saying, "Sleeping. Do not disturb." Only when Ash threw its favorite food, a soy sauce-covered dumpling, at Misty did it actually do anything.

Later, Ash uses Fearow against the Black Fog, a giant Haunter which is terrorizing Lavender Town.

Fearow is also used to rescue Mahri and her Dewgong in You Bet Your Wife, though neither it nor Ash gets credit for that act.

History

In the first episode of the anime, Ash and Pikachu were attacked by a flock of wild Spearow. The leader of the flock evolved into Fearow at some point during Ash's journey through Kanto.

When Ash returned to Pallet Town in Pallet Party Panic, this Fearow was again causing trouble, this time for a flock of Pidgey and Pidgeotto. After his own Pidgeotto became a Pidgeot, Ash attempted to capture the Fearow while riding on Pidgeot's back. Despite its weakened state, he was still unable to capture it, and left Pidgeot behind to guard against any future attacks.

Fearow briefly reappeared in flashbacks in Fighting Flyer with Fire and Betrayed, Bothered, and Beleaguered!.
