Stats & Training
Spearow's spread isn't flashy. Speed leads, Defense trails, 0 stats clear the bar. Easy to catch and worth 1 Speed EV, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Its reckless nature leads it to stand up to others—even large Pokémon—if it has to protect its territory.
Due to its short wings, it can’t fly long distances. It wanders about restlessly and pecks at bug Pokémon.
Spearow Weakness
Electric, Ice, and Rock moves hit Spearow for super-effective damage. The upside? Ground and Ghost-type moves can't touch it at all.
