Normal at 46 Attack and 20 Speed. The moveset has nothing competitive. 35 HP and 34 Defense fold to any contact. Evolve to Furret for 76 Attack and 90 Speed that at least functions as a fast Normal-type in the lowest tiers.

Base Stats
Nothing fancy in Sentret's spread. It leans mixed with Attack out front. And you'll get 1 Attack EV per KO for it. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
It has a very nervous nature. It stands up high on its tail so it can scan wide areas.
Sentret Guide
For a casual playthrough, Sentret works as a placeholder. Normal coverage is useful early. The real payoff is Furret. That's where the stats start mattering.
Game Availability
Debuting in Gold & Silver, Sentret appears in 16 games across 9 generations. A reliable presence in most mainline games, typically found through catching or hatching as a base form.
