While most trainers evolve Farfetch'd into its evolution immediately, the unevolved form has a niche with Eviolite boosting its defenses. Ground and Ghost moves can't touch it, and only 3 types hit it super-effectively. Known as the Wild Duck Pokemon.

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

Good

Farfetch'd's Normal/Flying typing leaves it vulnerable to Electric, Ice, and Rock moves. It shrugs off Ground and Ghost-type attacks completely.

You'll want to breed for Covet and Curse on Farfetch'd. These egg moves aren't just nice to have. Combined with STAB from Sky Attack and Brave Bird, they expand what Farfetch'd can actually threaten in practice.

  • At 377 BST, Farfetch'd is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Not competitive in its current form.

  • Watch for Raikou (Electric), Lapras (Ice), and Aerodactyl (Rock) when using Farfetch'd. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB.

  • Farfetch'd evolves into Sirfetchd through a special method. Farfetch'd is the base form of this evolutionary line.

  • 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. But the speed tells the real story — at base 60 Speed, it won't be moving first often.

  • Farfetch'd appears in 20 games, including Yellow, Red & Blue, and Gold & Silver.

Available since Red & Blue, Farfetchd appears in 20 games spanning 9 generations. Beyond its original form, it gained a Galarian form in Generation 8.
