'''Farfetch'd''' is a rare duck-like Pokémon that was introduced in the first generation Pokémon games.

=Information=

Farfetch'd is always seen wielding what is alternately referred to as a sprig of green onions, a plant stalk or a stick from a plant. This is its primary weapon which it uses as if it were a metal sword.  There is a difference between good sticks and bad sticks to this Pokémon, and some of them fight each other over the sticks. They also use the stalk to build its nest. If anyone tries to disturb the area where their essential plant sticks grow, they will use their own sticks to fend the offender off. This is said to be because Farfetch'd cannot live without this object; it will immediately go in search of a new stick if forced to eat its current own as emergency rations.

Over the years, Farfetch'd have been noted to be seen in declining numbers, and it is believed that they have become an endangered species. This has caused increased efforts to breed Farfetch'd in order to keep the species going. They primarily live where reedy plants grow.

=Other Appearances=

==Other Media==

*Farfetch'd was featured in one episode of the Pokémon anime during the Kanto series where it belonged to a thief who used it as part of his con game because he thought it was too weak to battle. The trainer eventually learned how strong his Farfetch'd really was and reformed. A later episode in the Johto series revolved around a Farfetch'd who disobeyed its trainer and ran away, but it was pursued by Team Rocket who wanted to eat it. The trainer and Farfetch'd were able to work together by the end of the episode to defeat Team Rocket. Farfetch'd have also shown up in other episodes throughout the series usually in the possession of certain trainers. The anime is also notable in specifying overhunting of Farfetch'd for food as the reason for their low numbers, which is a rare case of a Pokémon being confirmed to be eaten by humans.
*In the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, a Farfetch'd made a brief appearance in the possession of a boy at Azalea Town in the ''Gold''/''Silver''/''Crystal'' arc. [[Bill]] was later shown using a Farfetch'd as transportation within the same arc.

=Trivia=

*Its name is a play on the phrase "far fetched", which refers to something that is hard to believe.
