Its story

Appearance

Sirfetch'd is a white duck no taller than Farfetch'd, with a three-feather crest and wings like hands. It wields the stalk as a lance and the leaves as a shield.

Lifestyle

It evolves from Galarian Farfetch'd that survived many battles. Calm and fair, it treasures its leek like life itself and retires when the leek withers.

In the anime

Ash's Sirfetch'd evolved from his Galarian Farfetch'd during a battle against Rinto and his Gallade.

Name origin

The giant leek comes from leeks far bigger in Britain than in Japan, shaped as a shield and a lance. Sirfetch'd blends sir, a knight's title, and far-fetched.

Did you know?

It is said to place its soul into nurturing the leek wielded all its life.
Despite sir being a male title, males and females are equally common.
With Farfetch'd, it alone can use the Leek item, and it alone learns Meteor Assault.
