Stats & Training
You won't find a real weakness in Farfetch'd's stat line. It's well-rounded for the Wild Duck Pokemon, and what it does with that depends on moveset and items. Yields 1 Attack EV, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Farfetch'd Weakness
Farfetch'd's Normal/Flying typing leaves it vulnerable to Electric, Ice, and Rock. It shrugs off Ground and Ghost-type attacks completely.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Electric, Ice, Rock |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Grass, Bug |
| 0x (Immune) | Ground, Ghost |
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)
In Black 2 & White 2, Terrakion can KO Farfetch'd with Stone Edge (215-253%). Magnezone threatens a KO with Thunderbolt (196-230%). Mamoswine's Ice Shard also KOs at 143-169%.

Moves
STAB runs through Last Resort and Sky Attack for the basics, but Farfetch'd's real strength is the 10-type coverage spread. Bug and Poison hit common defensive types, and the movepool keeps going.

How to Get Farfetch'd in Black 2 & White 2
Farfetch'd can't be caught in Black 2 & White 2. Bring it over from Red, Yellow, or Brilliant Diamond instead. The encounter info below covers the source games.
Farfetch'd Guide
At 352 BST, Farfetch'd is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Not competitive in its current form.
In Black 2 & White 2, watch for Raikou (Electric), Lapras (Ice), and Aerodactyl (Rock) when using Farfetch'd. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB.
Keen Eye prevents accuracy from being lowered. That's the one you want on Farfetch'd. Defiant is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Inner Focus works too if your team needs something different.
Farfetch'd is leaning toward the physical side (base 65 Attack). Fragile, can't afford to take many hits, too. Speed tells the real story. At base 60 Speed, it won't be moving first often.
In Black 2 & White 2, Farfetch'd at 352 BST is a stepping stone. Evolve it when you can for a real stat jump.
Game Availability
Available since Red & Blue, Farfetchd appears in 20 games spanning 10 generations. Beyond its original form, it gained a Galarian form in Generation 8.
