Does that include Pokemon with the ability Early Bird? Didn't think so.
Anyway, I am going to go through an elimination to describe the "early birds" I don't favour, but just to tell you now, I prefer Swellow because it is a cool bird with a wonderful potential and grace, which is quite appropriate for an early bird because from Taillow, another bird that looks great even in other forms of media (I thought Linoone's fur portrayal looks funny in the anime).
One thing I like about Unfezant is its gender differences, which make its final evolutions stand out. Pidove is also a cute Pokemon, but as a whole this family seemed ill-treated as a competitive Pokemon because there is a dissonance between their higher Attack and their more useful Special attacks, so in a way, they are my second pick.
Fearow seems interesting too, due to having more focused stats than Pidgeot, and its threat level is shown to be quite powerful in the anime at one point and in the Electric Tale of Pikachu, and it's actually refreshing to know that Ash caught this one. Having Drill Run is a huge bonus because this means it has something over Dodrio (who is faster and more powerful).
Noctowl is a cool bird that only appears at night, and it's special because it's the first one who is more Special oriented. This one's got bonus points for being the most unique of the birds.
I didn't really like Staraptor because in my opinion, it is very unbalanced as a competitive Pokemon. It's easy to raise for a very powerful Pokemon because it evolves fast and takes little time to hatch. A lot of people like this because of that, but I think as a balanced Pokemon, Staraptor failed here. This is worse than Excadrill because its Sand Stream teammates are hard to raise and it's hard to find (come to think of it, Excadrill is more balanced than I thought).
Pidgeot is a classic Pokemon but sadly doesn't quite reach the mark because while it's a good bird, it's ordinary at best.
Thanks for reading.
