Farigiraf's spread is anchored by HP, with balanced defenses backing it up. Speed is the clear weak point. Worth 3 HP EVs per KO, and the medium-fast 1M XP curve keeps leveling painless.
Now that the brain waves from the head and tail are synced up, the psychic power of this Pokémon is 10 times stronger than Girafarig’s.
The hardened head from the tail protects the head of the main body as Farigiraf whips its long neck around to headbutt enemies.
Bug and Dark moves hit Farigiraf for super-effective damage. The upside? Ghost-type moves can't touch it at all. Sap Sipper grants an additional Grass immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. With 120 HP and balanced defenses, Farigiraf can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

Don't let Farigiraf's 520 base stat total fool you. Sap Sipper is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it A-Tier as an attacker.
Run Sap Sipper on Farigiraf. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Farigiraf also gets Cud Chew and Armor Tail, but they don't compare.
Farigiraf fills the attacker role. It's a special attacker with base 110 Sp. Atk. At base 60 Speed, it won't be moving first often. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
Farigiraf has answers, but so do you. Faster attackers outpace it. Anything with a super-effective STAB move and decent speed can revenge kill.
Introduced in Scarlet & Violet, Farigiraf has appeared in 1 games across 2 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
