Farfetch'd Guide
At 352 BST, Farfetch'd is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Not competitive in its current form.
In X & Y, 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 leaning toward the physical side (base 65 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. Fits the support role.
In X & Y, Farfetch'd at 352 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.
