Spearow's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Spearow PvE Analysis

⚔️ Raids

The unevolved, lesser Kanto bird has nothing going for it in order to make it considered for attacking in raids. Even a Grass/Bug-type taking double super-effective damage from Spearow will be taken down quicker using one of the other, evolved regional birds.

🛡️ Gyms

Spearow is incredibly frail, as you would expect from small birds, and being weak to Electric, Ice, and Rock gives gym attackers plenty of options to knock it out of the sky.

Spearow PvP Analysis

🧸 Little League

As a Flying-type, Spearow has the advantage against most of the Ground-type meta leaders like Whiscash and Gastrodon. But at this level, it is overshadowed by the Kalos regional bird, Fletchling, which is not only a current meta leader but also one of the opponents Spearow suffers its biggest losses to.

🔵 Great League

Maxing out at a lowly 902 CP, there’s no viability for Spearow.

🟡 Ultra League

Its stubby wings will quickly be clipped.

🟣 Master League
