Farfetch'd Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
At 352 BST, Farfetch'd is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Not competitive in its current form.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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.
