Flavor Text

Generation 5
Black, White, Black 2, White 2

It flaps its small wings busily to fly. Using its beak, it searches in grass for prey.

Generation 6
X

Very protective of its territory, it flaps its short wings busily to dart around at high speed.

Y

Eats bugs in grassy areas. It has to flap its short wings at high speed to stay airborne.

Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire

Spearow has a very loud cry that can be heard over half a mile away. If its high, keening cry is heard echoing all around, it is a sign that they are warning each other of danger.

Generation 7
Sun

Its short wings make it inept at flying. It moves about hurriedly and pecks at Bug-type Pokémon in the tall grass.

Moon

Farmers whose fields are troubled by bug Pokémon appreciate Spearow for its vigorous appetite and look after it.

Ultra Sun

Its reckless nature leads it to stand up to others—even large Pokémon—if it has to protect its territory.

Ultra Moon

Due to its short wings, it can’t fly long distances. It wanders about restlessly and pecks at bug Pokémon.
