Spearow | Pokémon
The Pokémon Spearow, another ‘Tiny Bird’ similar to Pidgey, is one of the first and most common birds in the series. You can evolve it once, into Fearow, fully shedding the ‘tiny’ status given to it. It may not be the most iconic of birds, but its Drill Peck move still devastates after all these years.
