It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

In Galar, Farfetch'd has a Fighting-type regional form. Galarian Farfetch'd evolves into Sirfetch'd after landing three critical hits in a single battle.

Biology

Farfetch'd is an avian Pokémon that resembles a light brown duck with a white underbelly. It has a flat, yellow beak, brown eyes, a V-shaped black marking on its forehead (similar to a unibrow), and a three-feather crest on top of its head. Its wings are as big as its body and appear to be prehensile enough to substitute for hands. It has yellow legs with webbed feet and a stubby tail.

Farfetch'd is always seen carrying a leek stalk or spring onion. It carries this sprig in its wings, but sometimes chooses to hold it in its beak or feet instead. Unable to live without its stick, Farfetch'd will defend the stalk with its life. Losing it can leave Farfetch'd defenseless. Known uses for the stick include use as a weapon, nesting material, and emergency food source. It is selective about which sticks it will use and has been known to fight over good ones. Farfetch'd is found in temperate grasslands.

Galarian Farfetch'd is a deeper shade of brown, with a more prominent black mark on its head. The leek it carries with its wings is much larger in Galar than the leeks that Farfetch'd use in other regions. Its body has developed a much stronger frame that gives it the strength required to carry its leek. However, the sheer mass of it makes it hard for Farfetch'd to fly. It is renowned for its courage in battle and can use their leeks like swords or javelins.

Farfetch'd and its Galarian evolved form Sirfetch'd are the only Pokémon capable of using the Leek item.

Trivia

  • Farfetch'd and its Galarian evolved form are the only Pokémon with an apostrophe in their names.
    • Due to this, it is impossible to return a nicknamed Farfetch'd to its species name in the English, Spanish, or Italian versions of the Generation I and II games. This is because the apostrophe is not available as a character for nicknames.
      • Also, an unnicknamed Farfetch'd from the above languages transferred to Generation VIII from a previous generation will be treated as a nicknamed Pokémon, due to Generation VIII using a different character for the apostrophe in Farfetch'd's species name.
  • Farfetch'd is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 377.
  • According to the anime, Farfetch'd are rare because they have been over-hunted for food. This means Farfetch'd is one of the few Pokémon confirmed to be used for food.
  • Due to changes to the critical-hit formula in Generation VI, if holding its signature item, the Leek, and using a move with an increased critical-hit ratio, the move will always land as a critical hit.
  • Farfetch'd can be seen as a parallel to Corsola in Pokémon Sword and Shield. Both of their original region's forms do not evolve, and they both change types while remaining mono-typed in their regional forms. In Pokémon Sword, Bea uses Galarian Farfetch'd's evolution, Sirfetch'd, in her team, while in Pokémon Shield, Allister uses Galarian Corsola's evolution, Cursola, in his team at the Stow-on-Side Stadium and during the Champion Cup Finals.
  • In Pokémon Emerald, Farfetch'd can learn Fury Cutter via leveling up, but not via Move Tutor. This was fixed in Platinum.

Origin

Farfetch'd seems to be based on a duck. It may be inspired by the Japanese saying 「鴨が葱を背負って来る」, literally translating to "a duck comes bearing bunching onions". As a saying, it means "something surprising but convenient". The phrase can be shortened simply to 「鴨葱」.

Galarian Farfetch'd is likely inspired by a hammer throw athlete due to the way it wields its leek, such as swinging it in a circular motion during its attacks. It may also be based on a javelin thrower. The leek it carries resembles the Giant Musselburgh, a larger variant of the spring onion that was first bred in Scotland, and the wild leek, one of the national symbol of Wales. Its serious disposition and how it holds its leek over its shoulder is typical of the lone samurai archetype in modern Japanese fiction.

Name origin

Farfetch'd is derived from far-fetched, meaning unbelievable, perhaps relating to Farfetch'd's rarity or the "far-fetched" theme of its Japanese name.

Kamonegi is a combination of 鴨 kamo (wild duck) and 葱 negi (bunching onion). Additionally, 鴨葱 kamonegi is an abbreviation of the proverb 「鴨が葱をしょって来る」 ("a duck comes bearing bunching onions"), which means "something surprising but convenient".

Cantonese Chinese 火蔥鴨 Fóchūngngaap Means "Shallot duck"
