Don't let the raw stats fool you. Fur Coat halves all physical damage, and that completely changes the math for Furfrou. Ghost moves can't touch it, and only a single type hits it super-effectively. Introduced in Gen 6.
Speed and Sp. Def carry most of Furfrou's stat budget. Defense's the obvious dump stat. Common in the wild and yields 1 Speed EV. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
There was an era when aristocrats would compete to see who could trim their Furfrou’s fur into the most exquisite style.
Left alone, its fur will grow longer and longer, but it will only allow someone it trusts to cut it.
Furfrou Weakness
GoodFurfrou is weak to Fighting-type moves. On the flip side, it's immune to Ghost-type moves entirely. Furfrou's special bulk (base 90 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
No evolution chain to worry about here. Furfrou is a standalone Pokemon with no compatible partners for breeding through one egg group. Eggs come out average hatch time.
How to Evolve
Breed Furfrou easily from the Ground egg group.
Furfrou keeps momentum with U-turn, switching out after dealing damage or scouting. Leftovers gives it passive recovery each turn, max Attack and Speed EVs let it hit hard on the way out, and the remaining moves prevents dead turns.

Take Down and Double-Edge bring the raw damage. But Furfrou also picks up coverage across 10 types from TMs, making it tough to find a safe switch. You're not locked into one angle here.
