In this episode, Rhys and Felicity dive into the wild world of Spearow—Pokédex #21 and one of the loudest, angriest, speediest little birds in all of Kanto.

They break down Spearow’s Normal/Flying typing, explaining why it’s a great choice against Bug, Grass, and Fighting types… and why you should never send it out against Electric, Ice, or Rock unless you’re in the mood to lose instantly. From its loud cry to its frantic wing-flapping, Spearow brings big energy in a very small package.

Rhys and Felicity talk abilities too — Keen Eye keeps Spearow’s accuracy sharp, ignoring moves like Sand Attack, while its hidden ability Sniper powers up critical hits for surprise knockouts. They describe Spearow’s tiny size (1 foot tall, 4 pounds) as an “angry loaf of bread with wings,” powered by helicopter-fast flapping.

They also break down Spearow’s personality: territorial, fearless, loud enough to be heard from half a mile away, and absolutely willing to chase anything that enters its turf. With references to Ash getting swarmed in the anime, the siblings paint a picture of a tiny bird with very big attitude.

Of course, they discuss evolution too — how Spearow becomes Fearow at level 20, gaining speed, power, and a much scarier beak. And both agree it’s a great early-game teammate thanks to its reliable Flying-type moves and fast playstyle.

Also in this episode:

Spearow’s Traits and Abilities:
A Normal/Flying type with Keen Eye (accuracy cannot be lowered) and Sniper (boosted critical hits), making it surprisingly dangerous in the right hands.

Physical Characteristics:
Only 1 ft tall and 4 lbs — a tiny, furious, wing-flapping blur often compared to an “angry bread loaf with feathers.”

Behavior & Habits:
Territorial, loud, fast, and always alert. Its cry carries half a mile, and it defends its turf relentlessly. Flocks provide safety — unless they’re chasing Ash.

Role in Battle:
A great early catch for beginning trainers thanks to strong Flying moves and high speed.

Evolution Line:
Spearow evolves into Fearow at level 20, resulting in a major boost in strength and aerial combat ability.

Joke of the Day:
Why did Spearow bring a pencil to battle?
To draw its next move. (And yes—Rhys approves.)
