Is Furret Good in Emerald Playthrough?

Furret with AbilityRun Away is fast but lacks the Attack or Special to threaten anything meaningful. Normal-type with no boss matchup advantage. Linoone is the native equivalent and does it better with AbilityPickup for item farming on the side.

How to Get Shiny Furret in Emerald

Furret claims no Hoenn habitat here, so the shiny has to come from a trade with another Generation 3 game that offers this line, either caught as a shiny Sentret and raised, or already evolved. See every game where Shiny Furret can be hunted

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.

Pokedex Entry

A FURRET has a very slim build. When under attack, it can squirm through narrow spaces and get away. In spite of its short limbs, it is very nimble and fleet.

Pokemon Emerald

Furret Emerald Guide

  • No. Furret isn't catchable in Emerald. Obtain one in FireRed or LeafGreen, then trade it over.

  • Honestly, in Emerald Furret is a tough sell. It rates just E-Tier, and stronger Normal options exist. Fun pick, not a practical one.

  • In Emerald, Furret plays as a pivot. Speed is middling, so pick your spots carefully.

  • In Emerald, Jolly is the go-to nature for Furret. That's +Speed / -Sp. Atk. Pair it with 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe EVs. Fits the pivot role.

  • In Emerald, Furret pairs best with Suicune, Magneton, and Salamence. Suicune has Decent synergy and covers what Furret can't handle on its own.

Game Availability

Furret first appeared in Gold & Silver and has been available in 16 games across 8 generations. Obtainable through wild encounters in most titles where it appears.
