Stats & Training
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 makes a nest to suit its long and skinny body. The nest is impossible for other Pokémon to enter.
There is no telling where the tail begins. Despite its short legs, it is quick and likes to chase RATTATA.
Furret Weakness
Type-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.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Fighting |
| 0x (Immune) | Ghost |
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)
