Spearow is a small Normal and Flying-type Pokemon introduced in Generation 1. It is known for moving quickly, defending its territory and evolving into Fearow once it reaches Level 20.
Competitive Overview
Spearow is usually more useful for early-game playthroughs than high-level competitive formats. Its Speed is solid for an early-route Pokemon, but its low bulk and modest overall stats make it difficult to use against stronger evolved Pokemon.
Spearow’s main value is that it evolves into Fearow at Level 20. Fearow offers stronger Attack, Speed and Flying-type damage, making evolution the usual path for players who want to keep using this line.
