Girafarig Weakness

Girafarig Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
At 455 BST, Girafarig is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Evolve it into Farigiraf before bringing it to any serious fight.
Girafarig gets Sap Sipper, Inner Focus, and Early Bird. But Sap Sipper is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Girafarig's hidden ability is Sap Sipper. Absorbs grass moves, raising Attack one stage. Better than the standard options for competitive play.
Girafarig is a special attacker with base 90 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 85 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many.
Game Availability
Debuting in Gold & Silver, Girafarig appears in 16 games across 9 generations. A reliable presence in most mainline games, typically found through catching or hatching as a base form.
