Have you ever took Randy's Spearow in GSC/HGSS permanently?
You bet {XD} Every single playthrough; never returned it. Well, maybe once :P
Why does Spearow's neck and beak size differs a lot from Fearow, unlike most avian Pokemon and their evolution forms?
What Lycan said: In which aspect is Taillow better than Spearow? And in which part worse than Spearow?
It's colored navy blue, and gets the ability Scrappy. On the other hand, Fearow's line are the only bird Pokemon that can learn Drill Run. Also, that beak is worth every mention so there's that.
Taillow is known for standing up against a foe who's bigger than it. Which Pokemon has a similar trait?
Treecko's Sapphire Dex entry implies a similar trait.

TREECKO is cool, calm, and collected - it never panics under any situation. If a bigger foe were to glare at this POKéMON, it would glare right back without conceding an inch of ground.

Why is that Taillow is able to learn Boomburst as an Egg Move, while unable to learn Hyper Voice permanently though any method?
Unlike Hyper Voice, Boomburst involves producing sound waves; this means that Taillow doesn't have to scream at the top of its lungs to execute the move.

Winner - Spearow; according to Professor Oak, Fearow is even worth throwing your Master Ball at:

Woot! I choose you, Swablu! :D

So let's go against the deadness curse caused by the Club of the Month. Here are some questions for you:
-Do you think every flying type should be able to learn Fly?
-Why does the move Fly even exist? Why does a bird need a cd to learn it how to Fly?

Oh, and hi Ketsu btw! o/

Do you think every flying type should be able to learn Fly?

Not exactly, because if you look at the learnset for the move, no dual Bug/Flying-types are on there and it is logical they aren't because a little insect would never be able to carry a human (although we then have Yanmega's HG Pokedex entry which would suggest it, but it still doesn't learn the move) but then the question that remains is how a small bird is able to carry a human. We may never know that, because Game Freak seem to never apply realism most of the time.

Probably, but on the other hand there are also Pokémon like Vibrava and Golurk who can learn Fly. Vibrava isn't doesn't look much different than the flying insects, yet is able to learn the move without even having the flying type. But I guess that's just Pokémon logic again that loves to make dragons overpowered. Golurk is a completely different story, it's really funny they can learn Fly, giving it a completely different meaning than you would guess on first thought. A shame they're overshadowing the Pokémon like Yanmega though. Yanmega is a great Pokémon and with its Air Slash very useful as flying type, but as it can't learn Fly you almost automatically assume it's worthless.

Welcome to Sky High's second CLASH! This time we compare two aquatic birds!

1. Doesn't the ability to learn both Fly and Surf make them perfect HM slaves?
2. If you compare the two gifs above, why does Swanna look so terribly huge compared to Pelipper?
3. Winona uses Pelipper, whereas Skyla used Swanna. Ever had problem beating either of the two?
4. In which aspect is Pelipper better than Swanna? And in which part worse than Swanna?
5. Why is literally every move Swanna learns through levelling blue (either of the flying or water type)? No more diversity, seriously?
6. Pelipper is said to transport Pokémon and items in its bill. Would risk a flight that way, considering he could just swallow you if you were a small Pokémon? Or is this even the way he carries you with Fly?

I wouldn't use them as HM Slaves, though at one point wasn't Defog an HM? Which is where I has 1 that had two HM moves. But other then that, I wouldn't have two HM moves on certain Pokémon, unless it was something like Bidoof or a must need in a small amount of time.


If we were to compare the gifs, Swanna looks taller & Pelipper looks fatter. Most the sizes of the bills.


As for being able to beat them, I never really had a problem. I usually carry a flying type with me and usually have it over level'd before facing a gym leader with Flying types.


#4 is a bit of a trick, I can't really say. Both come from water and air, Wingull is basically a Seagull and Ducklett is a Duck.


The movepool is wraped around its type, same goes for Pidgey (Normal/Flying), Takle, Ouick Attack. Though it learns Sand Attack, that's the only Gound move it can learn.


I'd imange Pokemon are more bulker then the Animals there designed after. If I had to say, I'd have to say you'd ride on its back behind the wings.

As for overall thoughts on the two, personally I'd have to go with Pelipper. Mostly due to the original Gen 3 & remakes Wingull gave me most of my Gym wins and Pelipper gave me the win over the Elite 4 & Champion.

Nickname: Absol!!!

Starter: scyther!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love flying types, they are speedy, and have some of the coolost desing and are always available pretty early in the game and are great.

I never used them with Surf at this point I normally had a good leveled water poke, but in both i used fly and it was always good.

Swanna is taller Pelliper fatter

3 Winona, I had to rely in both underleveled Absol and Castform since I couldn't use tentacruel and Blaziken effectively and my other Poke was a level 2 Zigzagoon.

4 I never liked Pelliper, because of the desingn, stats wise they are not very different.

Dunno Maybe because it is a Blue Cisne? (lame answer i know...)

As dark Sky said it is one of the few poke that it makes sense as something were you would fly, and I would risk he doesn't swallow the letters im PMD.

As overall I used Pelliper in Gen 3 but then i starrted using an Altaria

And i used Swanna more so i'll stick with Swanna

Members of the Sky High, I'm pleased to announce that we are gathering sign ups for our Pokémon Hunts' grand premiere. Whether you are able to participate the actual event or not, we would like you to support your friends and fellow club allies who participated this event!

We also have promotions for members of this club and its sister clubs, for more details please check out:

Doesn't the ability to learn both Fly and Surf make them perfect HM slaves?
I haven't used them as real HM "slaves", because they're both decent Pokémon to use and Surf and Fly are very useful moves to have on your team, both in battles and as field moves. It's annoying Wingull aren't able to learn Surf though.

If you compare the two gifs above, why does Swanna look so terribly huge compared to Pelipper?
I asked that as a serious question. It does look huge. It's probably because of that neck: Swanna's tall and Pelipper's head is directly attached to its body.

Winona uses Pelipper, whereas Skyla used Swanna. Ever had problem beating either of the two?
Nope, Thunderbolt is your solution.

In which aspect is Pelipper better than Swanna? And in which part worse than Swanna?
I guess Pelipper looks kinda derpy and has a not-so-great speed stat, but on the other hand it has access to fancy moves such as Stockpile and Swallow. And I like it because of its role it played in Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team. Swanna looks better (although like its irritated in the Gen V games), but has a really limited move pool.

Why is literally every move Swanna learns through levelling blue (either of the flying or water type)? No more diversity, seriously?
Yeah, like DarkSkys said above, it's just fit around its type. You'd expect it to learn a normal type move though, almost every Pokémon learns one (even if it's just a simple status move).

Pelipper is said to transport Pokémon and items in its bill. Would risk a flight that way, considering he could just swallow you if you were a small Pokémon? Or is this even the way he carries you with Fly?
Sorry for that second question, but it looks like a fun thought. I think that'd be great, because you're probably too big to be swallowed as in one piece, meaning you're safe. Looking at Pelipper's size, a human should be able to fit in there in a fetus posture. It's probably not very comfortable, but you have yourself a nice little cabin.

I vote for Pelipper, mainly for nostalgia reasons.



Alright, ending this CLASH here. You ready?
I roll my twenty-sided dice. Odd means Pelipper, even means Swanna, and the result is...

Might I ask what the 100 chips is for?

I swear it's not for gambling, it's not the edible kind either.

Our former Scenario Campaign involves post counts, whereas this new Chip system uses an in-club currency.

You use the in-club currency to buy new Pokémon for your club team*, evolutionary items and even evolving Pokémon, so on!

These Pokémon will be used for in-club Battle Showdown as well.*

The co-owners of Fighting Dojo, Brain Over Brawn, Sky High and I are going to have a meeting, we will be deciding the prices soon.

Participating any in-club activities, like the Clash, Hunts and so on, is how you obtain Chips.

As for the Pokémon, you have to buy them from the shop. As I said from my previous response:

According to club standards, it is! A bit too formal in my opinion, but hey my opinion doesn't really matter that much; whether it's you having fun or not is what truly matters! ;)
