Strategy Overview

In a tier with a flock of excellent Normal / Flying Pokemon, Fearow struggles to not be outclassed, especially by Braviary. Fearow's most notable niche is its to outspeed potent threats such as Haunter and Sawsbuck without a Choice Scarf and ability to hurt Rock- and Steel-type Pokemon with Drill Run. However, Braviary simply has more power and a stronger move to break through such Pokemon. Being both frail and weak to Stealth Rock also means that Fearow is easily worn down throughout the course of a match. Most unfortunate is the fact that Fearow lacks Brave Bird and has to rely on the considerably weaker Drill Peck for its Flying-type STAB move, making most of its avian competition better options overall.
