Furfrou Weakness

Furfrou is weak to Fighting. 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.

Pokedex Entry

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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Fur Coat changes the entire equation for Furfrou. The 472 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a support. Cottonguard with Red Card is the standard set.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Furfrou's biggest threats include Hitmonlee (Fighting), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.

  • Fur Coat is what you want on Furfrou. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind.

  • Base 102 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. On offense, Furfrou is a physical attacker with base 80 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a support.

  • For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the core moveset is Cottonguard, Rest, Roar, and Sleep Talk. Cottonguard leads at 0% usage. This set covers the support role with a mix of damage and utility.

Game Availability

Furfrou joined the series in X & Y and has been available in 5 titles so far. With 5 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
