Farfetch'd Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
At 377 BST, Farfetch'd is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Not competitive in its current form.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Farfetch'd at 377 BST is a stepping stone. Evolve it when you can for a real stat jump.
