What is Fearow weak to?

In Emerald, Fearow's biggest threats include Jolteon (Electric), Cloyster (Ice), and Golem (Rock), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Fearow's base 100 Speed lets it outpace many threats and strike first, which matters more than trying to tank hits.

Prediction matters here. Choice Band means Fearow can't change moves after clicking, but the payoff is raw power at the cost of move flexibility. Max Attack and Speed EVs with Keeneye back that up. The remaining moves prevents free switches.

Breeding's the move. Astonish and False Swipe give Fearow options it can't learn any other way, and Dark and Steel coverage and more already covers a decent range on top of Hyper Beam and Sky Attack. The egg moves push it further.
