Spearow typically inhabits grasslands, forests, and mountainous regions, where it preys on insects and small Pokémon. Its diet primarily consists of bugs, which it pecks at with its sharp beak. Spearow is easily agitated and will attack intruders relentlessly, often in flocks. It evolves into Fearow, a larger and even more formidable bird Pokémon, at level 20. In the games, Spearow often serves as an early-game encounter, challenging trainers with its Peck and Leer attacks. In the anime, Spearow gained notoriety for its role in the very first episode, where a flock of angry Spearow attacked Ash and Pikachu, a pivotal moment that cemented their bond. Its evolution, Fearow, also made notable appearances, often depicted as a powerful rival bird Pokémon. Spearow's design, inspired by sparrows and other small birds of prey, embodies a common, yet fierce, aspect of the Pokémon world, making it a recognizable and foundational creature in the series' lore.
