Farfetch'd is an avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a light brown duck with a white underbelly. It has a flat, yellow beak, brown eyes, a V-shaped black marking on its forehead (similar to a {{wp|unibrow}}), and a three-feather crest on top of its head. Its wings are as big as its body and appear to be {{wp|prehensility|prehensile}} enough to substitute for hands. It has yellow legs with webbed feet and a stubby tail. | Farfetch'd is an avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a light brown duck with a white underbelly.

Farfetch'd is always seen carrying a leek stalk or spring onion. It carries this sprig in its wings, but sometimes chooses to hold it in its beak or feet instead. Unable to live without its stick, Farfetch'd will defend it with its life. Losing the stalk can leave Farfetch'd defenseless, and it will seek out a new one to replace it. Known uses for the stick include use as a weapon, nesting material, and emergency food source. When using the stalk to attack, Farfetch'd wields and uses it like a sword to cut through things. There are several different fighting styles involving Farfetch'd's leek. It is selective about which sticks it will use and has been known to fight over good ones. Farfetch'd is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|temperate grasslands}} where reedy plants grow, guarding the plants from anyone trying to disturb them. However, Farfetch'd is rarely seen, and thus it is thought that its numbers are decreasing, and that it is at risk of extinction. There have been attempts at [[Pokémon breeding|breeding]] in order to increase the Farfetch'd population. | Farfetch'd is always seen carrying a leek stalk or spring onion.

According to sources such as the anime and the [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]], its population decline is caused by humans who hunted it down for food; one popular recipe suggested cooking it with its own leek.

In [[Galar]], Farfetch'd has a slightly different look. Galarian Farfetch'd is a deeper shade of brown, with a more prominent black mark on its head. The leek it carries with its wings is much larger in Galar than the leeks that Farfetch'd use in other regions. | In [[Galar]], Farfetch'd has a slightly different look.

* Farfetch'd can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Corsola}} in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]. Both of their original region's forms do not evolve, and they have mono-typed [[regional form]]s which can evolve once. In Pokémon Sword, [[Bea]] uses Galarian Farfetch'd's evolution, {{p|Sirfetch'd}}, in her team, while in Pokémon Shield, [[Allister]] uses Galarian Corsola's evolution, {{p|Cursola}}, in his team at the [[Stow-on-Side Stadium]] and during the Champion Cup Finals. | * Farfetch'd can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Corsola}} in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

* 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. | * Galarian Farfetch'd was released in [[Pokémon GO]] on June 17, 2020, shortly after Galarian {{p|Meowth}} and {{p|Zigzagoon}}.
