How to Get Furret in Gold & Silver
One rare morning-and-day spot holds a wild Furret at low level, but raising a Sentret to 15 is the simpler route. Most trainers meet Furret as their first-route Sentret grows up, not as a fresh catch.
Wild Furret may be holding when caught:
Berry (23% chance) A self-restore item. (10HP, HOLD)
Gold Berry (2% chance) A self-restore item. (30HP, HOLD)1 location to catch Furret2 locations to catch Sentret

How to Get Shiny Furret in Gold & Silver
Furret roams the grass once you reach Route 1, so tuck into that field and cycle through battles until a shiny one steps out. Compare Shiny Furret odds across every game
Gold & Silver Shiny Furret Calculator
2 MethodsThe best route is Breed w/ Shiny Parent, about 1 in 64 on each try.
Full Odds: Walk through grass, surf, or fish. Every encounter is its own independent shiny roll.
Breed w/ Shiny Parent: Eggs inherit stats from a shiny parent, so about 1 in 64 hatch shiny. A shiny Ditto helps every egg, and any other shiny parent (the red Gyarados works) helps only eggs of the opposite gender.
How many you have done, or plan to do.
| Chance | Encounters | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 10%lucky few | 7-- | -- |
| 25%one in four | 19-- | -- |
| 50%coin flip | 45-- | -- |
| 90%very likely | 147-- | -- |
Time assumes -- at your pace and does not change your shiny odds.
How is this calculated?
Every encounter has the same shiny chance, the Shiny Odds Per Try shown above. Each one is a separate roll that does not care how many you have already done, so the more you hunt, the higher your overall chance of at least one shiny. The formula below turns your odds and your number of tries into that combined chance.
chance after N tries = 1 − (1 − p)^N, where p = 1 / odds per try
Example at 1 in 8,192 (classic full odds): about 864 encounters for a 10 percent chance, 5,678 for 50 percent, and 18,862 for 90 percent.
The table above flips that around: it shows how many encounters it takes to reach a 10, 25, 50, and 90 percent chance at your current odds. Turning on boosts like the Shiny Charm, sandwiches, or chains improves your odds, so the encounter numbers drop.
These are estimates, not promises. Most games have no pity counter, meaning no guaranteed shiny no matter how many you hunt, so even Very Likely is not guaranteed: some hunters find one early, others go well past that point.

| 0x (Immune) | Ghost |
- Dark and Steel types added — Fairy does not exist yet

Furret Gold & Silver Guide
Yes. Wild Furret in Gold & Silver can hold Berry (23%) or Gold Berry (2%). Use Thief (TM46) or Covet to swipe the held item without affecting your catch chance. Quickest way to farm rare items like Berry.
Honestly, in Gold & Silver Furret is a tough sell. It rates just E-Tier, and stronger Normal options exist. Fun pick, not a practical one.
In Gold & Silver, Furret plays as a balanced. Speed is middling, so pick your spots carefully.
