Fearow's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Fearow PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

⚔️ Raids

With how many Flying-type Legendary Pokémon and Mega evolutions there are, Fearow is unlikely to ever be considered a recommended battler for you. In all cases where you would use a Normal/Flying-type, the other Gen 1 bird, Pidgeot, is a much better option and even has a Mega evolution to utilize as well.

🛡️ Gyms

Just like its pre-evolved form, Fearow is a fragile bird and is unlikely to hold onto a gym long enough to earn PokéCoins. As with most Flying-types, its only saving grace would be that Fighting and Ground are among the most common gym attackers. However, once again, Fearow loses out to Pidgeot here.

Fearow PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🧸 Little League

There is little to no evidence of Fearow being used in competitive battling, likely due to its frailty and poor moveset. So once again, look to the Pidgeot line, or currently the monster that is Fletchling, for a Flying-type battler.

🔵 Great League

Barely making a mention in the Great League, and only picking up wins against Grass or Bug-types such as Serperior or Ariados, it's unlikely you’ll see a Fearow used in this league. Still, if you wanted to consider running with one, be sure to give it Steel Wing, Fly, and Drill Run as its moveset to have the best possible chances. That said, you’ll face stiff competition from Shadow Feraligatr, Mandibuzz, and Azumarill.

🟡 Ultra League

Not much changes for Fearow moving up to the Ultra League, except for its counters, where it takes massive losses to Skeledirge and Clefable, but more notably, Virizion, which should be doubly weak to Fearow’s Flying move! If that doesn’t prevent you from bringing Fearow to battle here, then you could at least possibly pick up wins against Trevenant, Golisopod, or Venusaur.

🟣 Master League

You have no hope of picking up wins using Fearow here, please leave it to roost.
