Furret Best Moveset
90 Speed at 76 Attack on Normal with AbilityFrisk revealing the opponent's held item on entry. The moveset runs fast Normal TermStab at modest power. 85 HP gives some staying power. The information from Frisk is sometimes more valuable than the damage output. Tera Normal adds power but doesn't fix the low Attack.
90 Speed was Furret's one selling point in Gen II (Gold & Silver). 76 Attack and 45 Sp. Atk couldn't use it. Fast for a Normal-type, but fast at doing nothing.
Utility Moveset

- Hyper Beam
- Dynamic Punch
- Double Edge

Peaked in Gen IV (Diamond & Pearl). U-turn plus Trick gave Furret a pivot role. 415 BST was the limiting factor once the tricks ran out.

Same tier in Gen VII (Sun & Moon). The gap between Furret and viable Normal-types grew every generation. 76 Attack was barely noticeable at any tier.
