How to Get Furret in Platinum
A level-15 Sentret is the only source of Furret, since none spawn wild. Catching that Sentret is the real catch, though, since it only comes out of Poke Radar patches.
Wild Furret may be holding when caught:
Oran Berry (50% chance) Held: Consumed at 1/2 max HP to recover 10 HP.
Sitrus Berry (5% chance) Held: Consumed at 1/2 max HP to recover 1/4 max HP.Catch Sentret at any of these 1 spot to eventually evolve into Furret.

How to Get Shiny Furret in Platinum
Furret never spawns on its own, so chain a Sentret on Route 202 to 40 for a shiny and evolve it. Compare Shiny Furret odds across every game
Platinum Shiny Furret Calculator
3 MethodsThe best route is PokeRadar Chain at full boosts, about 1 in 200 on each try. Tune it below.
PokeRadar Chain: Chain shaking-grass patches without breaking the combo. The rate peaks at a chain of 40.
Masuda Method: Breed with a parent from a different-language game. Works on any breedable line.
Full Odds: Walk through grass, surf, or fish. Every encounter is its own independent shiny roll.
How many you have done, or plan to do.
| Chance | Encounters | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 10%lucky few | 22-- | -- |
| 25%one in four | 58-- | -- |
| 50%coin flip | 139-- | -- |
| 90%very likely | 460-- | -- |
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.

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)

90 Speed without damage to back it up: 76 Attack and 45 Sp. Atk mean the moveset outruns targets but can't knock them out. Normal typing adds no super-effective coverage. A scout at best.

In Platinum, Furret plays as a pivot. Speed is middling, so pick your spots carefully.
In Platinum, Calm is the go-to nature for Furret. That's +Sp. Def / -Attack. Pair it with 252 HP / 76 Def / 78 SpD / 100 Spe EVs. Fits the pivot role.
