Best Locations to Catch Galarian Farfetch'd in Sword & Shield
Farfetch'd Guide
At 377 BST, Farfetch'd is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Not competitive in its current form.
In Sword & Shield, watch for Raikou (Electric), Lapras (Ice), and Aerodactyl (Flying) when using Farfetch'd. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Psychic and Fairy-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.
Steadfast raises Speed one stage upon flinching. That's the one you want on Farfetch'd. Scrappy is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses.
Farfetch'd is a physical attacker with base 95 Attack. Fragile, can't afford to take many hits, too. Speed tells the real story. At base 55 Speed, it won't be moving first often.
In Sword & Shield, 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.
