Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Farfetch'd's spread. It leans physical with Attack out front. And you'll get 1 Attack EV per KO for it. Follows 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.

How to Evolve
Legends: Z-A Farfetch'd Best Moveset
Stick and Defiant form the backbone. Farfetch'd invests max HP and Attack EVs to play its physical attacker role properly, and Adamant nature pushes Attack higher. Close Combat handles the heavy lifting on offense. The remaining moves rounds it out.

How to Get Farfetch'd in Legends: Z-A
Farfetch'd Guide
At 377 BST, Farfetch'd is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Not competitive in its current form.
In Legends: Z-A, 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 a physical attacker with base 90 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 Legends: Z-A, Farfetch'd at 377 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.
