Strategy Overview

Fearow has a multitude of issues in pitiful bulk, average offensive stats, a weakness to Stealth Rock, and a reliance on critical hits to shore up its low-powered attacks, which makes its damage output inconsistent. It is also hopelessly outclassed by the likes of Dodrio and Scyther due to their access to Swords Dance, better Speed tiers, and better bulk, the former having a much stronger Flying-type STAB move and the latter sporting U-turn as well. Fearow's access to Ground-type coverage and ability to take advantage of critical hits, especially inconsistently, are not enough to save it from being an awful choice in the metagame.
