The card captures Spearow perched on the ground, surrounded by tall grasses that sway gently in the breeze. With its vibrant plumage and alert posture, Spearow seems ready to take flight at any moment, embodying the essence of a small bird in its natural habitat. The scene conveys a sense of calm yet alertness, as if Spearow is both observing its surroundings and preparing for a quick escape. This snapshot of its life highlights the delicate balance between tranquility and the instinctual need for vigilance.
If Spearow was attacked last turn, do the final result of that attack on Spearow to the Defending Pokémon.
