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.
There is no telling where its tail begins. Despite its short legs, it is quick at hunting RATTATA.
It makes a nest to suit its long and skinny body. The nest is impossible for other POKéMON to enter.
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

Prediction matters here. Choice Band means Furret can't change moves after clicking, but the payoff is raw power at the cost of move flexibility. Max Attack and Speed EVs with Runaway back that up. Utility options prevents free switches.
