Furret's Normal typing gives it an immunity to Ghost. Only 1 weaknesses on top of that — it has plenty of safe switch-in opportunities. It sits at a decent but contested Speed tier. Known as the Long Body Pokemon.
Furret's spread isn't flashy. Speed leads, Sp. Atk trails, 2 stats clear the bar. Moderately hard to find and worth 2 Speed EVs, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
It lives in narrow burrows that fit its slim body. The deeper the nests go, the more mazelike they become.
Furret Weakness
GoodType-wise, Furret takes extra damage from Fighting. Ghost moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. Only 1 weakness makes it relatively easy to build around defensively.
- Dark and Steel types added — Fairy does not exist yet
- Moves are Physical or Special based on type, not per move
- Special stat split into Sp.Atk and Sp.Def
